Two hundred eighty sixth entry - Jen's Early Morning Musings again!
2007-03-19 06:44:01
Time - 6:25, Noise - the fan of the compy
I have this odd thing where when I come back from some type of break or trip home, I'm completely wired for that night. This usually results in me getting far less sleep than I actually need. This time, it was about four and a half hours. I meant to be in bed by midnight, but I could just NOT pull myself away from the computer and my music. My eyes were wide open. So, when I finally did lay down for bed at 1 AM, I popped some Tylenol PM, hoping it would at least lull me a bit so that I could drift off. I'm not sure whether or not it helped, cuz I was still up for another half hour before I conked out.
Y'know what *really* bugs me about my bed? The undersheet pulls and bunches to the center, the two sheets pull to the left, and the comforter pulls to the right. I always thought that the idea of making a bed was stupid, but I have to do just that every night if I don't want a tiny, narrow area where my sheets and comforter actually overlap. And, of course, if I want to fix the lump in the middle of the bed. It's a bit irritating.
Hmm... I was hoping that typing would force me to concentrate and wake me up a bit, but I still have the heaviness in my eyelids. I hope I don't start zoning out during classes. I'm officially not allowed to skip any more classes this semester, because I filled my quota by skipping on the Friday before break. Well, I still have one more day on a Tuesday or Thursday, but I'd rather not exercise it on those days, since I only have one class.
Long story short, I'm back from Spring Break. Classes are loaded today, Project FMV is finally ready to rock, and later today I'm going to be starting my hunt for those renegade videos that are seemingly nowhere to be (readily) found.
Oh. And in two weeks I need to have all of my footage ripped and partially edited for FMV. Right-o. And I need to finish THE Video in a month. *Ultima Focused Face* o.o
See you, folks. Hope those of you that have had break enjoyed it, those who haven't will enjoy it, and those who will never have it... take a vacation~!

Two hundred eighty fifth entry - OMC it's par-tay time~! ...not.

Time - 12:25, Noise - Tsubasa OST IV - "Once Upon a Time There Was You and Me"
I have 100 hits on DeviantArt. Yeah, that's pretty pathetic, but that's what happens when you only have two friends and one piece of artwork up. Gee, maybe I'll commemorate the un-amazing event with some chibis.
...once I get back and let my computer know that my scanner actually exists, that is. Damn upgrade. Damn lack of drivers.
So, I'm about to embark upon Spring Break in a few hours. Gotta wait for my best friend to pick me up. Her classes end at the same time as mine (not that I bothered going to them today... kinda broke my own rules there...), so there was no way I'd be able to leave early.
I gotta get this MEP thing out of my head. I already have my entire next project planned out. Then again, it's probably a good thing that I'm running FMV right now. My next project is a music tribute, and not all of the music that I want has been released yet. So, waiting on FMV will give me time for my next idea to become more developed. I also have another project in mind, but I'm not real sure how to go about doing it. I really want to find a single song mix for it, since asking people to use their own music in FMV seems to have resulted in people taking a LONG time to find a track.
Actually, I did find a single song mix that I like, but it won't fit the subject matter of that other project. I need... somewhat mellow music. Instrumentals seem to work the best when doing mixes, but if it's something with vocals, it has to be a single song. It's tough to work vocals (even if they're the same, but *especially* if they're different) into a single mix.
Anywho, I gotta pack. I don't bring much home ever, but I'm prone to forgetting stuff I need. Besides, I have a doctor's appointment soon, so I need to end this entry.
See you, folks. Don't release any awsm AMVs while I'm gone, okay? <3

Time - 12:08, Noise - Barenaked Ladies - "Falling for the First Time"
Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.
I'm getting my math test back tomorrow (never a good thing). I'm going to have to face down my ex-friend fairly soon (a rather scary thing). I can't follow along in Spanish (a worrisome thing). I haven't finished my English paper for class tomorrow (a bad slacker thing).
I never thought I'd say this, but...
/me stresses o.o;;
...Spring Break is next week?

...no, that doesn't really make me feel better, I guess.
Nighty night, folks.

Two hundred eighty third entry - forgotten?

Time - 2:06, Noise - Rurutia - "Selenite"
/me was neither suggested nor nominated for any category this year
Gee, I must really suck this time around.
...
......
.........
............actually, it's possible that I've always sucked, I suppose.
In any case, I didn't vote this year, and I don't plan to. I don't have anything against the VCAs, really. They're a giant popularity contest, but they're a good morale boost for the community as well. I've watched a lot of the videos, surprisingly, but I'm not as thrilled this year as I've been in the past.
It's probably because the last year and a half have been pretty bad on me. I get too busy concerning myself with the problems in the world around me to do the things I enjoy. Oh well. I'm not going to go into that, because something pretty awful for me just happened yesterday, and I'll just end up being emo if I write about it.
On a positive note, Take put out another beta for the project mix. There's only one song that I don't quite agree with stylistically, but the other tracks sound cool, and Take did a great job mixing them. In a few days, I'm hoping that the final mix will be up and everyone can hop to editing (assuming they mostly haven't started yet).
My first class was canceled today, but this is unfortunately the teacher who clearly doesn't get the concept of e-mail. So, I had to wait for the lady to come in and say that he was ill today. Hell of a lot of good THAT does me. I'm already on campus. I ended up sitting in the Student Center for an hour. Sociology was mildly interesting, and Spanish was surprisingly hilarious. I was in a good mood when I went to take my test in math, which I think helped. Oddly, I had the project music running through my head for most of the exam. Seemed to help me think. I know that I messed up two questions, and I'll probably get a point or two off from a third, but I honestly felt pretty good about this test. I usually don't have that kind of confidence in my math skills.
...I need to vacuum, take out the garbage, and wash my clothes today. I seem to have less socks this semester... I wonder where the others went to... o_O
I feel very... melancholy today. Adrift. Dull. Some combination of those.
I think I'm just going to go listen to music for a while. Maybe play Tomb Raider IV when the glare on my screen lessens.
See you, folks.

Two hundred eighty second entry - it's an enigma, really.

Time - 12:02, Noise - Tsubasa Future Soundscape IV OST - "Optimistic"
O SHI-
I'm already thinking up another MEP idea. Like... I even have the intro planned out and everything. ~_~;;
I definitely wouldn't do it while running another project, but it's going to by my next MEP, I think. Set music this time, so it would be a lot easier from the get go. I really wish that Project FMV hadn't taken this long to set up, but that's what I get for not being able to come up with a set song mix. It's my fault, really. I got so much interest for the project, and then when I started it up, I more or less sprang it on everyone that the needed to provide their own music - and in a specific style, no less. It's no wonder I sent some people scrambling for a track. Sorry about that, guys. ~_~
Apparently, my stomach problem decided to stick around - it just went dormant for a while, that's all. It hurts again today... feels more like heartburn this time, though, instead of outright pain. I'm taking acid reducers, but hell if they're helping. I've been popping Tums like candy, too. >_> Okay, so I'm not that stupid. I actually do read the label and keep a good count on how many I'm taking each day (and for how long I'm taking them). The problem actually woke me up at 4:45 this morning. I was NOT happy about that. I took a nap earlier today, but I'm still sleepy now. I should just go curl up in bed.
Fucking classes. If not for them, I would probably take a day and just sleep straight through breakfast and lunch. Doubt it would actually make me feel any more rested (oversleeping is just as bad as undersleeping), but I love the cozy feeling of being snuggled in bed.
Hm... I was a bit annoyed earlier, and this was going to be an irritated entry, but I guess it turned into a sleepy, cozy, dreamy, MEP-y entry instead. *yawn* Oh well. I'm all for serenity.
Nighty night, folks.
