    So close to reaching 2000. That last entry got about 32 hits. I should post more pics like that. It seems to draw peoples attention....^_^

    2 more days before I head back to college. I'm actually starting to look foward to it. Everytime I go up there I see more and more girls that are just...umm...hot. My hormones(??) are in overdrive just thinking about it. Hell, look at that bg I made in Photoshop. What the hell was I doing with those pics anyway. Like I said, my hormones are in overdrive....^_^'

    3 months until Nekocon, if all else fails, I'll just enter Onyou no Yume. I'm thinking about scraping my whole Eva project. I just lost the motivation. I might just push it aside and go straight into F(t)tR. I said from the beginning that this Eva vid was just going to be an exercise in action synching, and it isn't really that good. I might put up another small .wmv of what I have done, but that will prbably be about it. I'm also thinking of modifying Onyou for the con. Redoing the ending, and altering a few FX are the main things on my list. If it ends up being the one I'm going to enter, then I will work on it. I hoping I can get F(t)tR ready to enter instead though......

    Just watching the A-kon doc. I need to hang out with you guys. You seem to have to most fun out of just about everyone I've every seen. Hey Carlos, Angel called. He wants his DNA back. MJ, my old psychology professor called. He too wants his DNA back.....

    I think that about covers out....

  • You're the one that asked!!!!!! 2002-08-16 00:11:45 What do you get when you cross boredom, and few spare pics, a cool background, and a guy with limited photoshop skills you ask?

    well, this is it...

    It took about 5 or 6 minutes to make, and you will notice that the space between the the arm and face of the girl on the right isn't cut out. I just smudged the black from the gloves over it, so it wouldn't be so obvious....^_^, I always take the easy ways out. I was originally trying to make me a cool background to replace my Asuka bg, but I ended finding a cool Shampoo bg on animewallpapers.com that I have now....^_^' This pic here was my bg for about 45 secs before I releazed I didn't like it. The original background was called Weird Oreintal, and was made by LYS. I just cut and pasted a few things to "liven" it up...^_^. I'm not trying to steal any credit from you LYS, you made an awesome background. This is just a joke thing, so if you come across this for some reason, I'm not a credit theif................^_^


    That covers that. Umm...

    hmm, that's all I really have to say.....

    so...

    umm..

    So close to 2000...

    Saw your new vid Silver_moon. While it didn't go so far as to make me cry, it was rather moving. I could imagine how much more moving it would have been, had I seen the anime. You told a clear story through your vid. That's something alot of vids don't get across very well if you haven't seen their particualar anime. Your's came across fine though. Good job. I'll try to get you a review up soon, but Devo and MJ are ahead of you right now, and with school starting back in 6 days I'm having to hustle all around gathering up books and parking passes and what not. Don't worry though, it's coming..........

    Did something today I haven't done in quite a while. It's probably been about a year since the last time I played guitar. You could tell that by the 2 foot layer of dust that covered the case...^_^' I was staggering all around for the first 15 or so minutes, but I got back into my groove after that. Only complete song I can still play perfect is "Summerland" by King's X. That was the first song I learned by ear, and I was so proud of myself to be able to play a Ty Tabor guitar part. Anyone that has heard him play will know why. He is awesome. Anyways, he was my hero back in the day when I first started playing. I was just fooling around tonight and came up with a cool sounding little blues riff. It put me back in my song writing mood. Maybe I'll write something good this time, and put a cool vid to it or something....

    hmmm...

  • Halfway Point 2002-08-14 00:16:25 I worked on my vid for the first time in a few days. I spent about 2.5 hours perfecting a 2 sec drum fill right before the second chorus. That's over an hour per sec!!! I'm happy with it finally. I tried so many different things that just didn't work, and finally found something suitable to accent the fill. So I have completed the first 1:53. I already had the 1:53 laid, I just had to fix a few things near the end, one of those being said drum fill. I'm now offically halfway done...

    And with that said, I'm off to drop by the forum, then hit the sack. That whole having to open the store tomorrow thing is really making me need to "Sleep Now". Heh heh, notice the amv reference there. That vid was awesome....

  • So how was my day you ask.... 2002-08-13 17:51:58 Let's see, what all have I done today. Well, firstly, I cooked half a box of Steak-umms, that I most of while watching Mulan. Then I went and washed my car, and rented Rollerball, and Ocean's Eleven. I got the remakes, not the originals. I finished off the Steak-umms while watching Rollerball. That film was quite disturbing. It distubed me. That's about all I can say. Was that supposed to be a "happy" ending? It just felt so evil. And what the hell was with that whole desert scene? It looked like it was filmed through a cheap pair of night vision goggles. I didn't get that. Haven't watched Ocean's Eleven yet. Plan on it tonight..........


    You too are about to start back to school I see Omni. Seven more days left for me. And I really want to get my Eva done, but I lost the motivation. I work all day tomorrow, and I have to go to Chapel on thursday for books and stuff since I didn't go today. Then I work all day Friday. So I have tonight, and Saturday free that I know of. If I pull some series editting shifts I can probably finish. I made it to the half way point in 3 days. I can finish it in 1 and a half if I work long shifts on it. Need to get it done. It's going to be my entry for Nekocon. My first con!!!!!!! If I can save up enough money that is. I have until November so it shouldn't be a problem. I was thinking about it today. I might cosplay as Ryoga. I could pull it off. All I would need really would be the banadana. I already have to puffy hair for it. Haven't decided yet. We will just have to wait and see............

    I think that's all. I have all 3 parts of the akon documentary. I need to get to watching........
