  • Fanime 2002 2002-05-01 02:36:05 Well... I'm back from Fanime and pleased to see the site is up.

    Not much happened at the convention. Only one of my vids even made it to the Semi-Finals and then the one that did wasn't able to get to Finals.

    I did meet a very attractive young lady who I hope I can meet again... but the ditance is an issue. Still... nothing wrong in hoping...

    I have some ideas for AMVs and I may abandon my current project to work on them, since I am having a very hard time figuring out how to make my computer do what I want it to do.

    Gotta run... but its good to be back at the site.

  • Sad news 2002-04-16 03:58:16 I saw that Robert Urich died... I only really knew him from the Spencer for Hire show... but its sad when someone dies young... and he was in his 50s. He died from cancer.

    I was already in a sad mood, because I'm dealing with the fact that I am attracted to someone I barely know. Furthermore, its someone who could have her pick of guys to be with... and why she would pick me over any of them....

    It's foolish... I mean, she lives on the other side of the country from me... and even when I move to Chicago, it will still be a big distance.

    I mean...I'm not in love with her... but she's just one of those people who make you feel great about yourself just by talking to her...

    Of course... since I don't have a significant other, knowing someone like that does make me think foolishly. I'm not a moron. I know that nothing is EVER going to result from this other than the infrequent meetings and friendly banter.

    In fact... that really isn't even the problem.
    The problem is that it just reminds me that I have no one...
    and have been alone for too long... much too long.

    Well... this isn't news...
    I know that there must be a lot of lonely people on this board who understand exactly what I'm talking about... even if they have only been alone 1/4 the time I have been...

    Well... I don't know why I'm saying all this in a place where people can read it...
    Actually... I do know. I'm trying to break the habbit of keeping things bottled up... and saying all this to a room of strangers is easier than talking about it to live people. It's a step.

  • Nightmare 2002-04-14 04:16:26 I had a terrible dream last night. I dreamed I had come home from work to find my brother had broken into my apartment and was just going through all my things. He had broken my computer... he had my cds out and on the rug, scratching them and making them filthy and unplayable and he had shorted out the TV set. I screamed at him for breaking into my place and he got angry for me getting angry. I grabbed the metal frying pan I have sitting on my stove (and I do have one) and clobbered him over the head with it repeatedly until his skull caved in on the back.

    I woke up feeling strangely refreshed and had 2 new ideas for AMVs!

    I really have no idea how the dream connected with this... but I can only imagaine that because I dreamed of my CDs, it made me think of songs from those CDs... and despite the violence in my dream... the AMVs I have in mind are sweet and carefree.

    OK... so it's odd... I can't explain why my brain works the way it does.
    However, I have to get working on my Cowboy Swing AMV and get that finished so I can do the next one I have in mind!

    Suddenly I have like 4 AMVs I want to do... when before I had no ideas really in my head.

    Some of the AMVs require that I pick up certain DVDs I don't have yet.

    I have old ideas for a FY AMV and an El Hazard OAV
    and now I have an idea for BoogiePop Phantom and one that needs many titles
    and... well... I'm excited...

    and FANIME IS EVER CLOSER!

    Wow!

    I'm just suddenly filled with energy! I've been sitting here like a rock at work and now... without warning... BANG! I am energetic!

    And Supertramp is playing "Take th Long Way Home" on my Launch player here at work... and I love that song!

    ... Working 10pm to 7 am would be impossible if it wasn't for the Launch Player I have running on my computer. Just wanted to say it.

    Well... if only this energy would stay with me when I get home.

    And the quote of the week is from this song.

    "When it comes time to settle down...
    who's to blame if you're not around...
    take the long way home."

  • 400!! 2002-04-13 06:15:11 Well... the title just indicates that over 400 people have now DLed my "Flash Before Your Eyes" AMV! I almost have 10 reviews for it as well!

    Now... on to other things.

    I finally got to see "Big Trouble". This movie was postponed due to the 9/11 events... and now its out in theatres. I was just laughing all through it. When the movie itself wasn't funny... the people in the film... an all-star cast... maintained the flow of the movie.

    Jason Lee and Stanley Tucci just make me laugh no matter what they do...
    Tim Allen has been in some great stuff lately... I never liked the TV show or the first few movies he did... but then Toy Story and Galaxy Quest were really great and this movie is part of this new trend of Tim Allen movies I like!

    It was hard going from a fun movie to my hateful job. I am so glad I am quitting in August...
    This place is ruining my health...
    I never sleep normally... I'm tired all the time... I don't get out much because I have no energy and it drains on my social life, since I am completely out of synch with everyone else I know. I've just been rapidly putting on a lot of weight and not seeing people... and at work, I have to find ways of killing dead time and on occasion having to talk to obnoxious people on the phone.

    If only I could click my ruby slippers and....

    Uhmmm...

    Well... Ok... I mean... you get the idea.

    I picked up Suicide Kings on DVD for $7.99! WOO-HOO... and I also got Dark Star on DVD for $9.99! YAY!! Also got The Messenger on DVD for cheap... though not as good as those other deals. Sometimes, I love chain stores... they drop the prices of obscure titles because people don't buy them as much and then people like me get to bargain off of other people's mundane lifestyle!

  • 390!! 2002-04-10 02:49:51 My "Flash Before Your Eyes" AMV has been DLed 390 times and is #30 in the TOP 10% AMVs

    I'm very pleased it has gotten this much attention.

    However... I have started work on my new Cowboy Bebop AMV and I think it is going to be very hard to do. Yes... I don't just think... I KNOW it is going to be hard. I'm going to try to learn some new tricks that my program can do... try to be a little flashy!!

    It'll be fun to see what it ends up looking like!

    I have also decided that I MUST make an AMV for this band I like called "The Penguin Cafe Orchestra"

    I have no idea what anime I will use or what song... but have no doubt that I WILL make an AMV for this band.

    I also have an idea for an EVA AMV... but I don't know if I want to do it yet. I'll figure that out soon enough.

    I still have to pick up Season 2 of Fushigi Yugi so that I can see if an idea I have for an FY AMV will work as well as I hope... Actually I have 2 ideas.


    Yes... I have lots of ideas... but will they become AMVs?

    Who knows... but I never thought some of my other AMVs would be finished AMVs either.

    I'm too excited about Fanime... its making the days drag.
    However... a good friend of mine will be out here when Fanime happens... and I'll get to see some convention friends I haven't seen since OhayoCon
