Back into the swing of things
2003-04-09 04:36:17
Now that class is over, and my writing is done (for now), I can get back to what matters most... hobbies and mindlessly trivial interests.
This is animemusicvideos.org, so I guess I'll swing the topic meter around to point at AMV's for a moment's time.
If any of you happened to take a look at my profile, you'll see that I've got 3 videos to my name right now. I still think my DBZ one is fairly well done, but the quality is so horrible (video and audio) that I am not ever going to upload it. Besides, it is unnecessary since it is one of the 10 or so most readily available AMV's on Kazaa. Which I think is beyond weird, but I guess it happened back when I had it on my personal website sometime around '98, it was a fairly popular site at the time, and DBZ videos were pretty rare.
My Kenshin and Lain videos were made within the same year, and are both pretty good I think, although if you have to pick one than get the Kenshin vid. I had to spend an entire night uploading those on my 56k, and I got up at 5:30 am on a school night to wander out here and confirm my upload too. So I hope someone takes a look at them.
Eh, it's 2:30 am, and I just got back from a hard session at the Gym, I better go get some sleep before I have to wake up for English 1A, last class I woke up late and barely got me and the girl I drive to class on time.
7 hours of sleep is just as good as 8 right?
I'll be back tomorrow to talk about my new AMV projects. -
Wishing myself good luck

I wrote my essay on time... barely. And it is even longer than the minimum requirement, weighing in at just under 5 pages. YAY!
The writing is.... not complete shit I guess. She won't give me a very good grade if she has any sense, but that doesn't matter, because I can pass it off as putting effort into it.
I think we're watching some new wave french films tonight. I hope those are enjoyable. -
Stiff necked
2003-04-08 19:20:24
Okay so I'm at the doctors, and of course I'm undressed for some reason which is okay because those gowns are fairly comfortable and it's a hot day.
Margo (my doctor) enters, and she's really much more attractive than her name, but whatever. She's nice, I tell her I need to remove some sort of mole (forever now named Molething) and she seems optomistic... until I show it to her.
"So... uh, yeah... we could um."
"well, it's not really a mole... I guess"
"We can't really do it all today... let me think a moment"
"I've never really seen anything like that, has it always been there?"
"Has it always looked like that?"
"Are you sure it has always been that big?"
"What did your dermotologist say about that?"
"Didn't your mom ever wonder about it?"
Margo says she'll numb it, shave the sucker off, and send it off to the lab to figure out what the hell it is and get back to me. She checks over my body for other oddities, and seems continually surprised by what she sees.
"Has that always been discolored like that?"
"Is there any cancer in your family?"
"You should probably just be putting on sunscreen every time you go outside."
It takes a lot to get me worried, so I'm more amused than paranoid really. What can I say, at the age of 20 I still feel immortal, and why not? I've never had a serious health problem of any kind. She asks me to lie face down on the bed/table and sticks a needle in my Molething. When she removes the needle she has to quickly get some gauze because it's bleeding a lot. Which surprises her, and she still doesn't really know what the hell was going on, but apparently there was some sort of blood vessel in Molething.
She cuts it off painlessly, (with lots of muttering about how "this isn't going to be very quick, clean and easy") and applies very firm pressure with gauze. Which of course we end up doing for a long time since it won't stop. She ends up using this chemical to cauterize the wound, I believe she said it was silver nitrate. I end up having to sit there without moving for about 30 minutes to see if it will be stable enough for me to leave and continue my life. But just to be sure I've got a bandage on the back of my neck for the next 48 hours.
Oh well. I can live with it all. And seriously, it is soooo much better to have that damned Molething off. And I'm pretty damn curious as to what it is. -
4 hours and counting...
2003-04-08 12:37:25
Can I do it? Can I seriously write this essay (which I haven't even started) in the next 4 hours and not incur the wrath of my teacher? (who thinks I've been writing it for 2 weeks now). I don't know...
I'd have longer to write it, but I have a doctor's appointment for a physical at 3:30 today... I haven't actually been to a doctor in over 6 years, and even then it was only a dermotologist for my acne, not counting that visit then it has been 15 years.
I'm curious how many problems we can come up with together about my body... stupid body always has had it out for me.
Oh, and she'll probably remove this damn mole I have on the back of my next. Except that isn't very accurate. This thing is to moles as the empire state building is to the little stacks of blocks I made as a kid.
More developments as they poor in. -
Essays....
2003-04-08 03:28:11
I've got a 4 page essay due in 16 hours on the history/significance/usage of film montage. At least, I think that's what I'm writing about, it is kind of an open topic essay for my film history class.
I need to write this in a way that doesn't make it seem like I'm just pulling it right out of my ass.
On an off note, after class the other week I showed my old AMV's to my teacher on my laptop, and she was blown away. I think she loves me now... maybe that'll help my grade.
Maybe I can tie in AMV's in my essay without sounding like an idiot.
Maybe I can trick her into thinking I'm a bad writer... then she would think I at least put effort into this, that is all I really need, to make it look like I tried then I can still get a good overall grade in the class.
Of course, I should be writing that essay now instead of this... I guess I'll go do that.
