A little background on this episode: Amanda and I recorded this, only to have my laptop (Tori here, hi) die at the very end of the recording. You probably won’t hear our usual tag line of “Now go read a book” this week.
In a panic, I cried, and screamed, and threatened the life of my MVP ancient laptop. After praying to the altar of the Youtube gods, this super cool video conversion tutorial saved the day. Major thanks to Jon Orana’s post for rescuing us today.
Oh, and if you’re wondering Tori did order Chinese food for lunch today…
