"About Schmidt" - The movie that changed my life.
2003-08-07 23:26:35
Finally a movie about REALL life.
It asks questions about what our purpose in life is, and what we do.
To normal, young minds, it's rather pointless and boring movie.
But hey, I think too much..> So for me, it was one of the best movies I've ever seen.
...Five Stars.
Go rent it you silly people. Life after retirement is good. And Wierd. And funny at times.
But, it also contains a long journey.... -
CnC and... School
2003-08-07 21:48:09
For future reference: CnC = Codename: CARS(an AMV in preproduction).
---
So, I was bored today, and after spending a good hour or so on editing TFF(I only edit in little spurts each day, now), and decided to go watch some TV.
Well, that got boring fast, so I went looking for my CnC tape. After a good 10 minutes of searching for that, I finally found it.. And now... 10 more minutes of GT3:A footage. Yayness.
I hope to get ATLEAST 3 hours. Might need more, though. The song's around 3 minutes 45 seconds.
My bro(the ultimate GT3 racer) is watching "About Schmidt" with some friends while also trying to configure the video settings on this new LINUX we got.
But, after that, I hope to record some good racing footage from their playing...
Well, that's my boredom for you.
Oh! right. School.
Starts on the 11th. Wow! I didn't know it'd be so close. the 11th is THIS monday!
I only have 3 more days of freedom and laziness left!

Bah!
Anyway, my parents are ignoring me with e-school. It's like they don't want me doing it now. Oh well, I'm trying to force them. I finally found my old plans, so all I have to do now is register for the two classes....
Yay. School.
I hate school.
Lots of "fun" memories.
Which reminds me of the AIM org Chat. Lots of suicidal people are in there talking about suicide. It sickens me. I know I used to be like that, but the org chat's for AMVs, not about your damn depression.
I don't need any more reminders of depression. I know it's going to get really bad this year.. For the sheer fact of highschool. Damn highschool.
Might as well get homeschooling, at this point.
I mean, At one time I tried to help the depression people in the chat, but now they just frustrate me.
They won't listen to me. It's like "Yeah like YOU know what I'm going through, ya bastard"
And I want to scream at them
I DO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON BECAUSE I DID IT YOU PRICK.
But I can't.
Because that'll just make everything worse.
So I end up leaving the chat and having a shitty rest of the day.
It just makes me want to cut myself and watch me bleed.
Bah.
Devolution knows what I'm talking about.
He was there when I was TRYING to help that damn cutter.
Well, enough of my ranting...
Time to install some linux stuff.... -

The Fanel Fate.
Almost done.
Seriously. It is! Almost!
It should be done like.. RIGHT before school starts(the 11th).
You see, I can't really explain it too well right now, but I'm doing a lot of frame by frame editing (My first homemade effect! yay!)
And it's going over pretty well, but there's still a few problems...
So, I think it'll take around a week to smoke out.
And then I have been having trouble with the quality of compression... So that'll take the remainder of however long it is until the 11th.
Anyway, had a cool day...
That's about all the info I have for now.
See you.. IMs are calling my name... -
Got a good Laugh, today.

Yup.
I figured "Fear Dot Hack has a high star rating.. I guess it won't hurt to see where it is on the top star ratings."
Yeah, well, I was bored, I should probably edit, but, hey, I hate TFF. =P
Anyway, here it is:
195 Believe in Me
dwchang (Daniel Chang) 3.85 52
196 Fear dot Hack
SQ 3.85 13
197 For Every Dream
silver_moon (Valerie Fremmerlid) 3.85 39
198 Lord's Prayer
ErMaC (Justin Emerson) 3.85 52
Right below respectful dwchang, and above ErMaC!
Never thought I'd live to see the day when I got a better star average then ErMaC.
I laughed for awhile.
Well, I should probably edit The Fanel Fate.
Damn video.. -wants to kill it- -
Ye don't fear no ProcrastINATION! (drum solo, chorus)
2003-08-04 19:01:38
Yeah, if only that were a real song. =P
So, the esca video to to "The Mass" by Era that I was in the middle of making before I got grounded? Procrastinating.
I fixed one timing error that took 20 minutes(wierd psycho beat, man!) and since then I haven't touched it. I really hate working on this video, but I want to finish it.
Damn video. It repulses me. X|
Anyway, I went to school today to get my schedule fixed up and YAY! I got all the classes I wanted!
Here they are:
Eucl Geometry Y
World History 102 Y
Graphic Arts I
Video Production III

They renamed Mass Media to Video Production. I guess that's a better name since it IS Video production, afterall.
Oh!
I am devising a plan with my Video Productions Teacher, Mr. Henson, to see if I can just work on my Gran Turismo 3:A-Spec video at school. Yes, this si the favored "Codename: CARS" I was talking about a LONG time a go. I even mentioned it in a thread somewhere. I have you know I AM doing it!
I am just playing the game through, now, doing all the cool donuts, burn outs, and stuffs. I hook my ps2 up to the VCR and bam-o. Instant capture.
Of course, since my VCR --> AVI doesn't work anymore, I have to edit it at school on the casablanca AVIO, the WORST editor on the PLANET.
So, I am pretty sure that "Codename: CARS"(CnC), will take a full semester to make, JUST to get it to look like a mediocre video.
If CnC turns out okay on the AVIO, I'll do my Shadow Hearts AMV(remember this idea? It was my first AMV Idea that I put in my journal!!) on the AVIO as well. And since I want the Shadow Hearts vid to be MY BEST WORK EVAR, it will probably take around a year in Video Productions.
Of course, this is editing my own vids while dodging around other school projects. However, everyone that was in Video Productions last year that new how to use the editors graduated(except for one, who isn't going to be in the class this semester), so I'm pretty sure I can somehow strike up a deal for me to ONLY work on my AMVs for the org, since I will be the only person who knows how to work the editors.
Besides, I'm "advanced" now, and since Video Productions is an all in one class (year one students with up to year 4's) I will probably get a whole 2 weeks to myself on an editor while the noobies get the introduction and stuff.
Besides, Mr. Henson likes me. I actually pay attention =]
I had lobster tonight! Wee!
(I never knew lobster guts looked like wasabi!)
So I got my school schedule in order, but I still need to get my e-school schedule straightened out so I can work with that and graduate ASAP.
Also-
I am working on adding in all my school projects to the org's logs. I just need to find out a few dates. You should see some 5 more MV's in my profile soon, none of which will be downloadable.
Ah, yes! I also changed my avatar and profile picture again!
It's supposed to be Koji from Digimon Frontier, but as you can obviously see there's been modifications.
Both tutterbudder and my mom said this picture is displays my personality the best, so I will probably have this avatar and pic for a good long time(although I really liked my Zidane one.. -hugs Zidane-
