JOURNAL: Xombie (Sam Shults)

  • Do I? Should I? 2001-12-21 13:38:22 So I'm sitting here semi-depressed because I can't find the perfect song for my next video idea. Poor me. ;_;

    Anyway, while sifting through the newsgroups and downloading songs at random I think I might've found something. So far I've done an action video and a drama video.... Do I dare? The next one could be.... a romance video.

    What the hell, right? Maybe someone will like the idea and it'll give me something to do.

    So, I'll put off idea #3 for a while and work on idea #4. 
  • Friday 2001-12-21 11:50:11 Great. My work PC still isn't fixed so I'm working at home today and all next week. Ah... work.

    CommandoB7 : I use prohosting.com, they are about $18/month and you get ummm.... 200mb? Maybe 500mb space. But more importantly you can get 15GB transfer a month. If you feel like spending that much, anyway.

    Gotta find a song for this new video. I have an idea of the clips & so forth but I can't find a song I need. *sigh* Always the hardest part for me.

    Whelp, that's it. But remember, if you want to see Cowboy Bebop set to country-ish music watch my Bebop video. Errr... not really country, I guess but it's around there.  
  • Morning 2001-12-20 09:17:20 Morning, morning.

    <Escape From NY voice> dreddnott? I thought you were dead. </Escape From NY voice> You make me feel bad by saying that - if the video stinks you'll have wasted all that bandwidth & time by downloading it. *and* have said those nice things for nothing.

    I think I caught a cold this morning. Damn cats begged for the window to be open a couple of nights ago and it was cold. Now my throats killing me and I might have a fever.

    But that's okay because the Soldats contest ends today. That's the reason I got into this mess and I'm really, really hoping to win it. I'm nervous because on their IRC channel last night the guy that started it said he already knows who won and that there was only one winner. If I understand that statement correctly it means that the rest of the videos aren't all that great. I entered my first video, Lost, in the contest so maybe, perhaps, possibly I'll win.

    Today I decided not to plug my Cowboy Bebop video ..... oh. damn. just did, I guess. So, since I already mentioned it I might as well say a little more. I have 4 reviews now and they're all good. As I mentioned in some of my comments I'm very surprised by this. What's even *more* surprising is that I made it into two of the top 10% video lists. Yay! I'm in the top 10% for Drama and Character Profile. Not that that'll last but I've got the page saved to my hard drive for vanity's sake. 
  • Ack 2001-12-19 23:40:44 Wow, quiet around here. Video news first - got three reviews now on my Cowboy Bebop video. Nice.

    dilandau_sama15: man, that sucks. When I got my last computer they discontinued the geforce 2 card I was going to get the day I placed my order (and didn't tell me so I got no vid card). They also sent the wrong motherboard - some cheap piece of junk. And the wrong DVD drive - I'm not a fan of slot DVD drives.

    And *then* they wanted me to send it back and wait for them to send the new one. What a bunch of jerks. First time I had trouble with them but I was pissed.  
  • Update ... including webpage update (now with comics!) ^_^ 2001-12-19 13:45:11 Well, I got one opinion on my video so far. It's a good one and since it's my first I will make it public (well, when I get ... what? two more? so I *can* make it public).

    Now all I need to do is barter for more reviews ^_^ There's that turboneko video I haven't plopped an opinion down on yet, maybe I can con her into swapping with me.

    I can't wait for this week to be over. Next week I get to work at the house... *all* week. No need to drive in to work just get up, do some programming and work on a video. Very nice.

    Speaking of amvs I think I have an idea for my next one. *This* time I'm going to take my time and not try to rush at the end. Maybe play a little with more effects. Who knows?

    Ah, as the title says, I've updated my webpage. I added a guestbook and a really nifty forum you can join or browse. If you want a place to talk about anime, amvs or anything else come by.

    Lastly I added some stick figure comics I doodled. It helps if you like cats since that's what they're about. I'm putting one up now to see how it looks and if it's alright then I'll add some more tonight.
