You know...

I'm not sure what would happen if this site ever offered a level of interaction approaching a twitter feed for individual members. Oh wait, it already does, some people just call it their journal.
Instead of calling it a journal, maybe we should call it Stream of Consciousness (we could refer to it as StreamCon and be all cute like that). If you think about it, this journal feature exists in a social networking vacuum: it fits in with that sort of activity without actually being profoundly influenced by the otherwise inevitable results. If rumors of site update ever come to fruition, I wouldn't be surprised to see the "journal" evolve into something else...or several something else's.
Is this post longer than a twitter post? Yes...ok, my work here is done. ^_^ -

I'm listening to a song I initially thought just screamed parody AMV based on very little but a few words caught here and there and a very cute, catchy tune. I go rushing off to try and FIND the lyrics...and now I think it's something about...evangelists??
Bah, well that's no problem. With the help of audacity, however (both the program and my own heaping helping of it), the following might go well with (most obviously) Yami no Matsui or (more obtusely) any bishies who have the misfortune to cross my path:
(He’s gonna step on you again)
(He’s gonna step on you again)
(He’s gonna step on you again)
(He’s gonna step on you again)
Hey rainmaker come away
From that man you know
He’s gonna take away your promised land
Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire
Don’t you know that he can make
You forget you’re a man
Hey rainmaker he got golden plans
I tell you he make you
A stranger in your land
Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire
Don’t you know that he can make
You forget you’re a man
Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire
Don’t you know that he can make
You forget you’re a man,
You’re a man, he’s a man
(He’s gonna step on you again)
(He’s gonna step on you again)
(He’s gonna step on you again)
(He’s gonna step on you again)
I swear, the only joy I get out of making AMVs is in cackling diabolically to myself. If I'm not cackling, then it's just no fun at all.
In other news: The price tag on Takeout and its bid for the most expensive AMV ever made just jumped another $4,000, which is how much the MRI of my ankle cost. Fortunately, my health insurance company is picking up the tab. Unfortunately, I'm scrambling to get a second opinion on the results b/c the radiologist and the surgeon don't agree with what's wrong WITH my ankle. All this before Nov. 20, when surgery is scheduled. *SIGH* -
Was burning things supposed to make me feel better?

I had fun with my fireplace last night (after discovering the damper was rusted shut...). I've identified that my sudden urge to clean and purge my apartment is due to my attempt to control my surroundings, an urge spurred by the fact that a lot of things are currently out of my control. One thing I didn't torch was my binder full of AMV notes, ideas, scribbles and general wishful thinking. I just bought a second internal HD, too, on the assumption that I'd be returning to editing at some point in the near future (hahaha).
Had to drop out of AAC's Iron Editor competition, too, thanks to all this unpleasant chaos. Hopefully they can find a replacement for me by Nov. 22. I was actually starting to look forward to it, too...if mostly from the standpoint of: compared to all the other stressful situations I've been through this year, IE is a pretty low-pressure situation.

And now I'm sick

But, I'm attempting to dabble in AMVing again, which can be summed up in six words: The AMV Gods still hate me.
I figured it would be a really good idea if I didn't show up at that IE thing I'm going to regret bitterly with a computer whose software and pieces parts haven't been tested. I haven't edited in a long time and I didn't gone near any of my programs after my HD died, so I'm starting from ground zero. Since I had time this evening, I decided to get cracking...
...as usual, everything just falls apart at my touch: DVDFab is a scary thing compared to Ripit4Me; where's my script editor in VirtualDub and, for that matter, where's my VirtualDubMod; what is this AvsP program and why won't it treat the AMVIVTC thingy like I was expecting it to, if it's even working at all, I can't tell; why isn't AvsP offering my Huffy as a compression option; and who knows what else is going to go wrong next, but I'm sure something will! -
What's Maybe Next

Got down and back to Mass. without any accidents, although I did wind up making an emergency stop at a Toyota dealership b/c my car suddenly start doing new and more disturbing things, like sliding around and, in general, feeling unstable. They said one of my front struts should be replaced...ahahaha ha ha....
And the 1,000 miles I've driven in the past four days have been to interview (twice) for a promising job in Mass. I had nightmares about it last night, b/c I think I made a number of fatal missteps during the otherwise decent interview yesterday. I am a complete wreck right now...but I just have to keep telling myself that it's all out of my hands and there's nothing I can do anymore.
headache...headache...headache...
