And So It Begins

Greetings!


Our names our Marie, Joe, and Steph, and we’re “Remotely Entertaining” – or rather we hope to be remotely entertaining, or mildly amusing, or at the very least somewhat enjoyable. We chose that name – the origin story is courtesy of a brainstorming session – because of its many layers (we’re complex people, yo) and how that speaks to what we are trying to do with this blog.

We want to talk about entertainment – some, but not all, of which involves the use of a remote – and we wish to be entertaining in the way we go about doing that. But we also don’t want to oversell our entertainment value. We’re humble folk in that way, so we loved that “remotely” was also a qualifier (modifier?) of just how entertaining we may be at times. “Oh, are you guys massively entertaining?” you might ask us and we would reply “Oh no, we’re just remotely entertaining” meaning that we are entertaining in the slightest degree and also, that is our name. See, LAYERS!!!

Oh, and “remotely” also describes the three of us geographically: one of us (lucky bastard) is Orlando, Florida-based, one in Austin, Texas and one of us is in Maryland. Try to figure out which and you win a (metaphorical) lollipop!

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to drop us a line in the comments section if you like what you read! If you don’t like what you read then it’s probably best you don’t leave a comment.
