I finally get a chance to sit down and work on my vid and Premiere just had to crash. I was about half way through the first verse too. Now I have to go redo it all again. At least I know how I want to work the verses though. So that is bringing me one step closer to completion. I wonder what everyone would think if I was to repeat a single clip frequently. Probably around 8 times throughout the video. Not becuase I don't have enough footage or nothing, it would be used as a "transistion" clip so to speak, to show the two opposite sides I want to show. I'm going to do it that way, and see how it turns out. I think it would work as long as the viewers saw the meaning behind that on clip, which is blatantly(sp?) obvious....
I didn't skip Art 33 today, but I should have. I missed the lecture anyway because I was dozing off throughout the entire class. I don't remember anything about it. I would probably have learned more had I skipped today...^_^'
Let mo go redo this vid again.....

No, I will not skip it again....

Somebody help me...
I have barely started the day, and am already debating on skipping Art 33. It's 4 hours until class, I haven't even gone to japanese yet and to urge to skip art has already hit me. I knew once I skipped it that first time it would be hard to go back, plus skipping it last time isn't helping either. Somebody talk some sense in to me before I fail out of college over a stupid, boring art class.
Okay, I have to go to this class, I have to go to this class, I have to go to this class.........I keep repeating this phrase in my head, but the more I say, the less I want to go. But I can't skip 3 in a row, I'll never catch up. This sucks, why didn't have to take that horrible, horrible class. I know why, becuase that cool Asian Art class that I wanted was full. It would have helped my minor, but this stupid ancient art class just fills a general requirement. Damn registering late, missing all the good stuff........
It's almost time for japanese class now. If I come back and type a lot of random crap after it, perhaps I will miss the bus, and have no choice but to go to art, since I'm going to be on campus anyway.....
You know a class must horrible when you have to trick yourself into going to it....

Yay, math quiz time...
Let me get this over with so I can go watch some more Eva...^_^. I've been watching 1 or 2 eps. a night for the past couple days, and am up to ep 8. Finally, Asuka is going to make her appearance. I'm going through it subbed this time. I'll admit it, I'm more of a dub kind of guy. I perfer to focus on the anime, rather than reading the subtitles. In about 3 semesters though, I should be able to watch it without need subtitles. I will have Advanced Japanese in 3 more semesters, which is the final japanese class, and it is held entirely in japanese. After that, I will have my minor in japanese(if I can the 2 japanese history and literature classes I need before hand), and I should be able to "represent myself well in an all japanese enviorment" as the course book puts it. I assume that means I will be able to understand and carry on conversations completely in japanese, thus being able to finally watch Eva in its original form...^_^. Anyways, I must say, being a dub guy myself, Eva is ALOT better subbed. Regardless of how bad a dub may sound, I usually deal with it. Eva and Battle Athletes are about the only 2 so far that I perfer subbed....
I've been dl'ing a couple eps of Urusei Yatsura(??) for the past few hours, but they are taking there sweet time. As a matter of fact, the first ep is coming at 300 bytes/sec and the rest are not coming at all. The first ep of that anime Omni has been talking about is trying to dl too, but it keeps getting remotly queued. And I couldn't find any eps of Fushgi Yuugi. I'm just going to have to stick to buying from Suncoast I think. Damn you WinMX....
Let me get this quiz over with, so I get back into my Eva....

Daily Observations...

No one here on campus uses hand rails. We have steps all over the place with rails along with them, but nobody ever uses the rails. I just don't get it. People here on campus seem to have superb balance. They run up and down the steps without even looking. I don't use the hand rails, but I can't run down the steps without looking down. Perhaps one day I will be at the step climbing level of the rest of campus....
No one here on campus ever leaves early for class, and they only walk at 2 speeds. They are either walking very slowly back towards the pit, or practically running from the pit. The "pit" is the little area where the dining hall, and student stores are by the way. If there were to head out to class about 3 minutes earlier they could walk, but instead they wait until like 1 minute before class and then run. I don't get it....
I can't wait to get my program back Friday. On the last one I got 42/50. I lost 8 points for not putting a block comment pointing out the main class. I put a single line comment in, but that wasn't good enough. On the one due today, I loaded it with block comments, all over the place. Oh, and on the last one, I didn't staple the sheets together, becuase there wasn't a stapler in class, and when I got it back, she had stapled it, cirlced the staple and drew and arrow to it, all the way from the bottom of the page. On this on, I stapled, circled it, and drew a little smiley face beside it. It just upset me that she went through all that to make sure I noticed I didn't staple my paper. It wasn't my fault there wasn't a stapler in class. Hell, I'm probably going to get back this program with a low score saying "how do you like this you sarcastic little bitch..." I'm not sure why the 5' little lady grading the assignment is going to call me, the 6'4", 220 lb guy a "little bitch" but I'm sure she will have a reason. I know this program is loaded with sarcasm. I wrote the whole thing for the purpose of putting sarcastic comments all through out it.....^_^
So, it's time for me to go turn it in now...

Well, let's see. I skipped Art 33 again today. I have to break this habit. It's just so hard to go to that class. I've skipped 2 of the last 3 of them. I go in there, and spend the hour fighting to stay awake, missing the lecture anyway, so why go to start with...
I've hit a little road block in "Shinkakuruu". Making that deadline is looking less and less possible. I'm hung right at the start of the first verse. That's the problem with using jpop, lyric matching is a pain. That's why I was just going to treat it as an instrumental, but that is proving to be harder than it would to attempt some sort of lyric matching. I don't know, I'll figure it out...
I got a cool new Lum background. It's not as good as the Shampoo bg I had, but nothing ever will be. Oh Shampoo, why can't you exist in the real world....<sniffle>...^_^. I also got a cool Urd, and a Fushigi Yugi bg too. I'll cycle these 3 for a week or so, and probably end up back with my Shampoo bg again. Either that or my Faye one. Those are the 2 best I have right now. Man, I just couldn't live with animewallpapers.com...
Aside from that, my dog was put to sleep today. It was so depressing. After laying on the bed for about an hour resisting the urge to cry, and ultimatly failing, I'm starting to get over it. Some may say he was just a dog, or just a pet. They should know that he has been "just a pet" for the last 12 years of my life. He was there everyday after school, all through junior high, highschool, and the first year of college. He was always waiting for me at the door when I came home, nearly everyday of the past 12 years. Today, however, he wasn't. I came home to an empty house. For the first time as far as I can remember, I came home to an empty house...
I'll get used to it...
