    Of course, I have to wonder if they'll actually do it, but my cynical musing will have to wait. I just want that fucking thing gone.
     
  • 2004-05-06 19:20:30 OMG, some of those banners were actually about putting anime together with music, and not badly spelled, stinking regurgitations of once-cute, now-ruined taglines that we've already seen 11928 times before.

    You all get cookies! XD

    VDub is totally fucked. I've reinstalled it, I believe, changed the drive it's on in case extr33m fragmentation might be to blame, and still it crashes most of the time and runs insanely slow (say, 0.4 frames per second) the rest of the time, even on the highest priority setting. And this is just to prepare scratch files, for the bait and switch thing. Nothing that complicated.

    Yeah, well. Uh... yeah. Righteously fux0red. I'll continue mucking around with what I have, I guess, until I get so tired of it that I wipe my hard drive and start over.

    Not feeling all that inspired on that fun vid from before. It's eh. I've been playing with another idea just for something to do, and that's been all right, but I don't really, seriously expect to finish it. I haven't had the kind of determination and drive to finish something in one fell swoop, not in a very long time. Maybe not since "Life in Death" failed so fucking miserably. I liked the Trigun vid, but making it was like pulling teeth at times. I haven't felt truly thrilled about any of this since I thought I had a shot at actually being seen by people, and that, of course, was blown out of the fucking water by my own wretched incompetence.

    Oh well. Such is life. 
  • 2004-05-01 19:12:01 While I'm at it, never take seriously my chatter about what I'm going to do next. ;) Projects die on the vine all the time. I like trying to plan out what I might do next, but it's never set in stone.

    I do hope to finish MOTL by May 31, if people plugging the song don't fuck up my chances of that... and then, who knows.
     
  • errgh... 2004-05-01 19:08:41 People? Please don't read one entry of my journal and start spreading rumors. It pisses me off.

    I am working on vids now (well... not NOW, but the last few months) because... drumroll... I like making videos. Not for a con. I don't enter cons. It's on my profile, you know.

    I know most people only make vids for cons or whatever, but that's not my style. I make them whenever the idea hits me.

    While I'm feeling ranty, would it KILL somebody to watch at least one of my vids before they start bitching about my attitude? I don't have low self-esteem about this particular subject. I am not selling my vids short. *They are honestly, objectively bad.* I am so freakin' sick of people chuckling over my comments, saying, "Oh haha, there's StB again, being negative." Shut the fuck up and actually watch one of my videos. I am not being negative; I am being truthful. I am so fucking sick of people spouting off about something they know nothing about.

    That's my rant for today. *bows*

    That said, I do *like* my objectively bad videos. They're like toys you had as a kid, that are all beat-up now but still have sentimental value. I can see how crappy they are, but it doesn't bother me, because I like them. Maybe people don't understand that. They're too tied up in polarized, black-or-white ideas of absolute "good" and "bad."

    I really should ease off, at least from the forums. I don't belong here, that much is clear. That's not to say there aren't a lot of nice people, because there are. Some I know, some I don't know but seem intelligent and fair, and on and on. But there are so many morons and so many people who are just IDIOTS about this whole thing - *it's a hobby, people! Not a sacred calling! Keerist!* - that entering into that context makes me hostile. And I mouth off, and it doesn't do anything constructive, and it's all just bad news.

    I do like keeping pace with what's happening in The Scene, though; maybe I should just check General AMV and avoid the others. Particularly General Anime. Oh my GOD, who put lead in the drinking water. *facepalm* - but General AMV I can read and mostly stay quiet on and not push my blood pressure up into the red.

    That's a plan. 
  • 2004-04-22 18:20:56 The board I bothered most before this place (I... don't think there was much of anywhere in between *thinks* ...nope) is having a reunion/anniversary/Old Home Week kinda thing. It's kind of cute. I probably won't hang around long, but it's a cute idea.

    And you know, it reminds me of this place in some ways - I complain about the people here, but really, it's the same everywhere you go. Really. People are people are people. Eventually I get tired of the same group and have to switch. It's like going on a road trip that goes on too long - in the beginning you're having fun, but by the last hour of the way back you're grinding your teeth and thinking "If you make that noise with your sinuses one more time I'm going to fucking kill you."

    Overdose, in other words. Even if you don't mind these people in smaller doses.

    Well, I should get going on that dungeon in Xenogears; I finally continued on that. I've never finished the dratted thing, which is an embarrassment to any RPG nerd worth her salt. :P
