Charlotte Coleman is dead
2002-06-17 01:25:52
This is old news. Apparently, she died in November of 2001...
I never knew...
I only just found out and so the shock is hitting me as if it just happened.
I think this is a tragic loss... she was only 33.
What a terrible loss...

I need an Ami of my own
2002-06-16 09:29:40
As much as I hate to sound like a goof ball
and at the risk of shameless flattery
I find that Ami just cheers me up
and the best part is that she isn't doing anything special
other than just being herself.
Just being able to have a real smile
makes dealing with things that much easier
and if I didn't write something to say
how my life was made just a little better
I just wouldn't be me.
So... thank you Ami for the smiles
and you'll probably see me write stuff like this again about you
and I hope you can just put up with my nonsense
Oh - and when I have my ugly armor suit and flying jet board
I'll fly over to where you are and blow up stuff you don't like
unless of course, you're seeing some super-hero guy
in which case... maybe I shouldn't have said anything...
uhmmmm...
Anyway...
that's the shameless flattery of the day for you.

Nothing
2002-06-16 07:32:09
I have nothing to say.
Let's see... here are some quotes that I've been thinking of...
"Have you ever considered how much your buildings weigh?" - Laurie Anderson
"If this is paradise, I think I need a lawnmower." - David Byrne
"There's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over."
-Frank Zappa
"If it were plaid, it would be busy." - Dennis Leary
"So, you fight crime and bake cookies... where ever do you find the time?"
-Hawk Girl in JLA Animated Series
"I feel a hate crime coming on." - Banky (from Chasing Amy)
"Evil is an ABSTRACT!" - Azrael (from Dogma)
Why am I writing quotes in my journal today? I don't know...
I'm just suck here at work and thinking about how much I want to quit.
Oh... I love this song...
"You dreamed it all...
and this is your story.
Do you know who you are?
You're the dream operator."
Anyway, enough of that.
Saw "Insomnia" - Thought it was a good movie - nice to see Robin Williams in a good role. Well written movie with some interesting plot events.
I'm trying to write a story for Magi-Nation in hopes that they will use it on their web page. I hope they liked the story I wrote, but it's hard to guess what they're looking for.
I just like writing things... I wonder if the comic book I'm trying to get published will go over well or not. In August, I move to Illinois and I will be free of California! HUZZAH!
I had hoped a friend of mine would help me put my AVI files onto a DVD so that I could submit them to the Anime Expo AMV contest, but he never got back to me and so I won't be in the contest. Probably for the best... still... I think it was rude of him to not get back to me... even to say "Nope... don't have the time."
People in California don't seem to have a lot of concern about other people. They don't return phone calls, they don't stick to plans... it's very frustrating for a New Englander like myself.
In 3 months it will be my birthday... and I will be celebrating it in a new home.
There is only one other person in this huge room other than me. The other guy who works this shift. He is currently sleeping... Wish I could sleep in these chairs.
I hate this place.
Anyway... I hope I can get my AMV finished quickly. I want you guys to see this thing I've been working on as well as the Excel Saga AMV I made.
These are some AMVs I won't be doing anymore...
"Desperado" - Eagles - Spike AMV for Cowboy Bebop
"Viv Woman" - Steve Vai - Faye AMV for Cowboy Bebop
"Black Magic Woman" - Santana - Slayers AMV
I have enough ideas for the future as it is.
Well... let's see... how can I end this rather odd post. Let's use more quotes!
The classical ending
"Tomorrow is another day."
The absurd ending
"What can you expect from a God that would crucify his own son?"
The happy ending
"God bless us, every one!"
The sad ending
"All stories end badly if you keep them going long enough."
The angry ending
"Then you die, she dies, everyone dies..."
Let's quote Danny Elfman instead...
"I don't know why I feel this way
I don't know if it's right or wrong to laugh at misforune.
Darkness can never last too long
if you laugh in his face."

New AMV
2002-06-15 10:31:05
OK... I'm still only 50% done with Cowboy Swing...
However, I made a new AMV in the course of ONE NIGHT!
It's not up on my friend's website (and it may be a bit beofer it is)
However, I was inspired and soon there will be 2 new dowloadable AMVs for you to see...

"This is where the party ends
I can't stand listening to you
and your racist friend.
I know politics bore you,
but I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
and your racist friend."
-They Might be Giants (as best as I can remember the lines)
I posted those lyrics because I can't laugh when people are openly racist, sexist or homophobic - as a few people are on the boards. I won't simply turn away and say "whatever" when someone is spouting hatred and madness.
Well... with that said, let's move on to different topics.
Ami - What the heck? Why are you gettin' hit with sticks? I feel the need to rescue you from injustice! Where's my damn theme music? Where's my liquid paper?
Let's here it for rambling free thought! Woo-hoo!
Phrase for the day - "Twinkie Fluid"
What's Uncle Milo eating? He just ate a Chicken Salad from Carl's 2 hours ago complete with ranch dressing! Why am I talking about it? Because I am this bored at work! Bored I say!
Nothing like working from 10pm to 7 am and having "lunch" at 3am!
Funny how no matter what time your lunch break is you still call it lunch.
Today is my Friday from work and so I can get some more done on my AMV with my days off. I want to see the movies "Insomnia" and "About a Boy"
I don't know if I'm going to enter anything into the AX contest because their entry policies are very confusing - if I'm reading this right, if I want to enter 3 AMVs on VHS, I have to enter 3 different VHS tapes! That doesn't make sense!
I know someone who could burn my AVIs onto a DVD... but he's not replying to my e-mails. :( My last 3 AMVs exist in AVI form as well as MPEG1. All the others are ONLY MPEG1. The AVI files are HUGE!! I would never want to make someone download one of those suckers!! They are supposed to be DVD quality, so I guess that's why... as I have mentioned before, I know almost nothing about computers.
Working on my stupid web site, I have added a GUEST BOOK! So you can now come to my stupid web site and SIGN it!
I wonder how many people here have gone to my website... there really isn't a need, because the link I have for my AMVs is on a friend's website...
Still... you can check it out if you're really bored!
