"Sometimes I feel like SHITTING ON MYSELF"
2003-05-14 15:19:03
Well, I'll give you the goodnews first.
"Tsukasa's Story" was recommended to someone in the forums by Kiechi87((I think 87's the number..) I am so..Um.. Gratified..! And for some reaosn embarrassed... :
And now the bad news.
School:
I asked my drama teacher if we could cuss on stage because my monolouge had "damn" in it. She said she told us 'the other day'(God knows how long a go THAT was) the words, but then told them to me, anyway. Damn was on the list that we could say. So, when I got onstage, I said my line with the cuss word in it.. "The god damn pen is blue"(Yes, that's the pen scene from Liar Lia, my favorite monologue of all time)
She took five points off!!! When I asked her why, she said because I said "God damn" and I said "But you said we could say damn!" And she said "But I SPECIFICALLY told you _the other day_.." (Oh god, there's that "other day" that must have eluded me, again) ".. That you were not to say 'GOD Damn', because I just won't take it. I'll hear no more of this!" I got an 87 because SUPPOSEDLY I laughed(I don't remember laughing) because someone else laughed offstage and she said I responded. I know there were two parts in the mono where it sounds like I'm laughing(One part is laughing insanely) but then my teach said that it could have been a subconcious reaction, so I said, "allright, that's understandable" to myself(Although if it was subconcious that means we couldn't help it, so why take points off in the first place?)
And then, I don't think she took points off for this, because I stayed in character, but I FORGOT to put the pen on the table!! In the scene, the pen's on the desk, and he points at it and goes "Gah!" At that part in the mono I realized that the pen was still in my pocket! >< so I pointed and went "Gah!" And then calmly took the pen out of my pocket and put it on the table so I could grab it.. Stupid, Q, stupid Q.. >.>
At home:
The pond pump hasn't been working for a few weeks. Since we had an electrical storm we figured it just somehow turned off. We couldn't get the box where it was plugged in open to see if it unplugged somehow, so we waited a week until my dad suggested that we should check the main power switch incase it automatically turned off. My mom did, and it didn't, so we waited about two more weeks. My mom, last week, had said that maybe it was the filter, and it was cloggewd or something. I didn't know pumps had filters, so I just sat on my ass and didn't do anything... Until today, when I finally decided I'd check to see what was up.
So, I went to the pond, stuck my hand in, and found the pump to be making noises(When I took it out, of course) but not pumping. So I began to take it a part, and this HUGE pile of mud(Which I later found out to be the filter, once some of the mud splatted off) landed on the ground. And then a worm crawled out of it. EW. The worm caught me off guard, so I was kind of surprized. I'm not the one to be afraid of insects and bugs, though. It was the huge pile of mud that looked like diahrreia(sp.) that sickened me. It is hard to believe that it ever WAS a filter.
So, since we don't have any spare filters, I just put the pump back together without the filter and put it back in the pond, hoping it could function without the puddle of mud. It could, and so I left the filter to -hopefully- either dry out or somehow clean itself... In case you're wondering, I carried it via two sticks.
On the computer:
Not really any bad htings going on on the computer. But "Sword of Schizophrenia" is a little over 75% done. It's either my Premiere 5.0(No, that's the NOT a typo...) crapping up because it's old, or the fact that I have little space left on my HD, or maybe even a mixture of both that is taking me so long to finish this vid. I'm doing kind of the same thing as I did with "Wake Me Up Inside" except like 5x more often... So, everytime I do a few of the flashy thingies, I have to export it, because when I play it in Premiere from the timeline it lags and I can't tell if the cues are tight or not. That's even when it all has been rendered... Luckily, though, I've discovered a system. I don't have to export the whole Project. Just the little section I'm working on. You'd think that's common knowledge, but I'm "Special" lol.....
In New York:
My Great Grandma is still dying, and she is sure to go sometime soon. I haven't had any updates though, so I don't know if she's actually dead yet.. (Wow I sound sad... >.>)
On the Ethan Case:
Haven't heard any updates. -
"Sometimes, I, In Disbelief I didn't know"
2003-05-11 09:37:02
Well, I had a whole entry kind of like a editor's column in the newspaper or mags to put in today, but I Nixed that idea and decided to just post what I'm going to do today.
I'm going to work on "The Sword of Schizophrenia". Yes, it's growing on me. It may just be the song, but I want to continue the AMV, so I'm going to do that today...
As for my Fuma char profile, that'll have to wait. I want to use Episode 0 from XTV in it, and someone has my X[One] DVD right now, so I'm going to either borrow someone else's X[One] or pester the person that borrowed mine.....
I also heard about a decompressor. So, if you take, say, a DivX video, and put it in a decompressor, will it gain back all the quality and MB the DivX codec shaved off?
If so, this could REALLY help me in cleaning off my HD. That way, I wouldn't have to keep all my huffyuvs, and save like a TON of space. I could also remaster a few vids instead of make them from scratch all over again.
Whoever has a decompressor, please give me a URL I can d/l one at, or send me a copy of yours. This could REALLY help me, and I could burn those X/TV DVDs a hell of a lot faster, not worrying about my limited HD space.... -
Hot Hot Hot
2003-05-10 15:11:53
So freakin' hot in the hottest room in the house, which just happens to be the room the computer is in, making it even hotter!. The cieling fans arn't doing ANYTHING. It's only 90 somehtign outside, and I feel like I'm gonna DIE.
Anyway, I'm WAY over my comp limit, but my mom hasn't been home all day so I'm okay >.>
I finished the first of two betas I was gonna send NME for the Linkin Parkject. The one that's done is called "Sword of Schizophrenia". Yes, you guessed it. The same exact thing as "Sword of Paranoia" except this one has better timing and such.... Well, it IS more focused on Kenshin/Himura instead of both Kenshin and Fujita but oh well....
If anyone wants the beta, email/PM/IM me. If it's not accepted into the project, I don't really know if I'm going to continue the AMV or not....
As for the beta that I really want to do that involves X/TV, I have to rip more DVDs, which I'm not sure my HD can handle but I'll try anyway.....
.....Tomorrow.
Oh, my mom is going to NYC, leaving me and my bro alone to fend for ourselves. My bro is supposed to drive me to school and such (I'm a transfer student, no bus). Turns out they think my Great Grandma had a stroke and they are almost positive she's going to die soon... So, my mom has to go visit her... -sigh- She said she'd only be there for a few days...
The Ethan Mincher case. They took the guy who they thought murdered Ethan and his mom to court and he says he left before it happened, but another guy came and didn't leave when the first guy did, saying that the second guy murdered them..... I'm not sure if that's true or not..... - Feh. Der. 2003-05-10 09:39:28 I'm stupid. I should have just read what was right infront of my nose. I seem to be forgetting to do that a lot, lately. Nevermind about the star question.

F=ma How to remember this formula? "Fuma"
2003-05-10 09:36:55
Yeah. Seriously. That's how *I* remembered that formula when I was in Physical Science, lol.
Anyway... Stars. How do you check the rankings? I mean, I know I can go to "My Downloads" and rank the ones that I've downloaded, but where are all the other rankings so I can see stars for the ones I *haven't* downloaded?
Little help, here....
