Now I get it...

Well I started making my first AMV yesterday. I was just going to screw around a bit, start using some transitions and mess around with the fading so I could get used to it. So I dig up some AMVs (all I have for non-subbed footage) that are all with Evangelion and about the same quality. I cut out all the clips that have prior editing, I add "Romance" by Apocalyptica, and I get to work. Eight hours later, I'm totally zombified. I got almost 50 seconds of the video done in eight hours and I haven't even gotten to one climactic point of the song. And it was great! Great as in fun... the video on the other hand. Well, let's just say I see quite a bit more than eight more hours being put into this. Anyway, I'm trying to make this video seem like just a Shinji/Rei twisted romance where Shinji gets pissed at Gendo just for the hell of it. I'm sure I'll remake this sometime after I finish and get a DVD-ROM drive. I bought the Evangelion box set but I can't get footage. It's hard to keep myself from going transition/transparency crazy though.
I didn't go to school... I don't really need to this last week, everything will be easy to catch up on. I will go for the rest of the week, but I just didn't feel like going today. Maybe it was because I went to bed at around 4 am and had to get up at 6 am to get to school on time. So I'll spend the rest of the day doing the rest of my homework, watching Inuyasha, and working on my video.
Rockin'. -
*Sigh*

Yeah, life is pretty pathetic when you wake up from a dream, realize it's not real and start screaming. Well not quite screaming, but that's how I felt.
We had our first "family" dinner in... 9 years. Kind of lame because my mom thought it was necessary to act "proper" and everything like that. I don't have a problem with that, but it's like asking my brothers to be different people. Manners aren't that important when you're all family, but everyone was fixed on looking right so everything was pretty stuffy and subdued.
But I did get to watch the Lord of the Rings special edition DVD set. The 30 minutes of new footage was pretty cool, but most parts would be hard to notice if you aren't a fan. I caught all of it, but some parts I wasn't sure if it was new or not. Things that I had just mentally added in on my own =). I reassert that as my favorite movie of all time. I don't know what I was thinking when I considered other movies. Pfft... as if there was ever any doubt.
Saw Reign of Fire... not too shabby. But most important, I watched the theatrical trailer and it was so totally Evangelion! Oh man, it was great =p. If I could get that audio clip and the Evangelion footage, no one would hear from me for a week or two. Or six. -
First journal entry EVAR!

Yeah I've never posted a journal entry because I don't make AMVs so I didn't think I should bother. But I feel like writing, so I decided "What the hell?"
So my mom's coming home from the hospital tomorrow. She was put there on Tuesday two weeks ago because of withdrawal from her medication. In short, she couldn't move, she was vomiting, she was spasming, and she couldn't handle any stimuli without strengthening her already intense migraine. She's been sick for the past 14 years now but she's actually looking really good. I've been to see her a few times since, and she can walk without falling :O. She's also cut down her cigarette consumption from 40 cigs a day all the way down to 6! Amazing... It'll be kinda weird to have a mom that can do stuff, though.
Life's still intensely boring. When something's intensely boring, there's something very wrong. Because if boredom is intense, it's all pervasive to the point where I am totally enthralled by being bored. I didn't think such a thing was possible, but it is!
The Bears lost today. It's hard being a Bears fan. *Sigh* They were up by 21 points in the third quarter, and they ended up losing by 3 because of a bunch of stupid retard mistakes.
I think I may start putting up poetry in here, but I might avoid it for a while so people don't surround and lynch me.
I decided to think of my all-time favorite movies and make it as short as possible. I narrowed it down to 7 movies. So I'll list them here... (in no particular order)
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings
Braveheart
Pay it Forward
Meet Joe Black
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Willow
Life is Beautiful
The only one of those that isn't pretty sad at some point is Willow. I'd include Memento and K-Pax because of how much they made me think, but when compared with those, I didn't really enjoy them quite as much.
Now! Back to being bored!
