  • Ninety third entry - Don't even bother reading this 2006-02-05 21:05:31 Time - 7:39, Noise - Sarah McLachlan - "Fallen"

    It's days like this when I wonder why I continue caring. I mean, it's pretty obvious that my problems don't matter to anyone. So why should I care about anyone else? But I do care - which makes it all the more irritating when I need help and only one person is caring enough to lend a hand.

    Another thing: when a person asks a question, answer that which the person inquired upon, NOT what you think is a better solution.

    Also, I HATE being spoken down to; do you really think I don't notice when I'm being steered towards a different idea? I may not be very technically inclined, but I'm not stupid either.

    ...and to add to that, since when did acting online like a normal human being with normal human emotions equal internet drama? What the fuck is wrong with you people and your escapism? It's like if everything isn't rainbows and sunshine then the person in question is obviously emo and is just looking for attention. Well, I'm SO sorry that I decided I wouldn't put up a front - that I decided to be myself. If you think that that just makes me a dramatic emo, then so be it. I know who and what I am, and I don't need others justifying it - especially not some fucking strangers that don't give a shit about anything.

    Of course, that totally negates the point of my entry, now doesn't it? Again, if I don't care about any of you, then you shouldn't care about me, right?

    For those of you who are actually reading and taking any of this seriously, good job. I'm not going to say "thanks," because that would be pointless. For those of you who find it funny and mock me, please allow me the honor of telling you to fuck off and get your kicks with something that's actually humorous - like George Carlin. Leave me alone. I have about had it with people in general, whether they be in "real" life or on the internet.

    But, in the end, can you really blame anyone for being pissed at the world?

  • Ninety second entry - #Confusion 2006-01-28 20:55:53 Time - 7:44, Noise - Oasis - "Wonderwall"

    So yeah...I wanted to ask a question in #AMV, but they were...well, I'm not sure exactly WHAT they were doing. Apparently it was something to the effect of a site where you typed in a noun and it generated a random quote with that word in it. I don't know. Regardless, I really didn't feel like interrupting their fun.

    I finally started a new video after the disaster crash that was my previous project. Sure, I only have the music in the timeline, but it's a start. This idea is different from my previous videos, and even I don't know if it'll turn out well or not. I mean, if I pull it off correctly, it'll be good, but if not, then I suspect some low scores and "eh, it was okay" sorts of comments.

    ...I say that as if that's not what I'm told about my videos normally. -_-

    Can't seem to write anymore on my current fanfic...the idea is there, but it's something that works so much better visually than in writing.

    Well, I'm off, presumably to write, although that's probably not the case.

    See ya.

  • Ninety first entry - Memory of Lightwaves 2006-01-20 00:48:35 Time - 11:32, Noise - Silent Hill 4 OST - "Room of Angel"

    Well, I finally got to see Le Portrait de Petit Cossette. Not QUITE what I was expecting, but not too far off either. The visuals were lovely, if a bit repetitive at times. The story probably could have been wrapped up quicker, too. Anyway, it was well worth my time, and the soundtrack doubly so. It was gorgeous. Now I gotta download Aqua-chan's "Lurid Enchantment" video again now that the anime makes sense. She used one of my favorite game themes, so I really would like to see her video again.

    Just got back from winter break...yeah, it lasted, like, a month. Classes don't start 'til Monday, but I have crap I have to do before then. My schedule was terrible, but I think I have it back down to something workable. I do have a single room now, so that makes me happy. No pesky roommate to whine about her problems and my habits.

    On an odd, depressing note, I have no idea when my next video will be. I'm pretty sure I lost the project I was working on, so that's a no go. Everytime I tried to rip at home, I encountered problems. This, of course, won't stop me from buying a DVD drive, a capture card, and some other stuff I want. For now, I guess I should just stick to using PS1 games in videos. I have a bunch of ideas for those anyway.

    On that note, it's almost my bedtime. Nighty night, intarwebz0rz.

  • Nintieth entry - is that how you spell nintieth??? 2006-01-11 22:26:19 Time - 9:20, Noise - the echoes of MSTRB80's ringing in my ears...

    Yeah. So I just watched MSTRB80's. Needless to say, my mother's knitting needles are in disarray.

    I should probably stop the blood gushing from my ears, too.

    -_-

    In other news, I still can't get anything to rip. Maybe it's just the way the compy is set up here at home. Once I get a DVD drive into my compy back on campus, I'll try again. Hopefully it'll work there. I'm also fairly convinced that I NEED a capture card now. Whatever the case, I've already worked it into the budget.

    Finally finished my fanfic...so I'm starting on another one...not that anyone here really cares about that...

    So, with that, I'll be stopping here. There are better places than the floor that I could be sending my A- blood to. ~_~

  • Eighty ninth entry - isoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoiso.... 2005-12-31 22:08:39 Time - 8:55, Noise - HIM - "Rip Out the Wings of a Butterfly"

    The computers are conspiring against me. They WANT me to use downloaded footage. They WANT me to be inferior to other editors. They WANT to give me low quality videos.

    On the off chance that someone reading my journal knows what the problem is, I'm going to post it here.

    I'm ripping PS2 games, and I'm using Castor's guide. I follow each step to the letter, but for some reason, when I scan the split ISO files, they don't come up with any extractable files. Even when I try scanning the full, unsplit ISO, all I get is an error message. I've tried Fatal Frame II, Devil May Cry 3, and Silent Hill 2 - the last of which was tried by another site member, who had it work perfectly fine. I asked a different member, who said that Castor's method worked for him.

    So, I'm a bit stuck. I don't get why ripping isn't working for me.

    Help?
