Given the semi-opaque nature of the AMV.org t-shirt I ordered, and given that the company which created it asked for my feedback, I did so in a complaining tone. A week and a half later they send me an e-mail saying they're sorry it wasn't up to snuff and they'll offer me another t-shirt at half price.
This is a non-official AMV.org t-shirt for approximately $12 I'm offering. I don't need two...or maybe I do. I could try and get one printed on a black shirt...hrm...
AMV PLANS:
Nothing, really, until I get my Web site back together. This may take a month or two. I feel right now, working with HTML, like I did back when I was fritzing around with various design programs: not quite sure what I'm doing, it takes me a long time to get anywhere and I'm definitely missing the big picture. As usual, my problem is that I cause lots of things to go wrong and there's no one around to a) tell me how it went wrong or b) tell me how to make it go right.
Rather like making AMVs, except we have this enormous pool of resources here at the .org to make everything go smoother. It's still an incredibly difficult thing to get comfy with (or at least, it was for me). If I can learn to do all THAT on my own, you'd think I could learn Web design...but no. Plus it actually has to look good. I am going to put a big "I DON'T DO WEB DESIGN" thing in my portfolio, though, just in case anyone starts getting ideas.
AMVs...I'm in a bad place right now. I want to make one thing that I have no idea how to make (or even if enough footage exists for it TO be made) and another thing that's probably not going to go over very well with con crowds...and another thing that I have a great beginning for but no end...and then there's that other thing that the first thing unexpectedly inspired but kind of bores me - and then there's about eight other things I want to do but don't have time to. :|
*SIGH* Long, cold, Vermont winter ahead of me. and plenty more whining/complaining/AMV gods-bashing journal entries, too. It snowed yesterday, here. I don't want to put snow tires on my car yet...kills my gas mileage... :( -

Sprain's getting better. I can hobble around without crutches, now. All this inactivity is driving me (and my dog) bonkers, though. Fall is the best time of year for hiking (hunters notwithstanding) and I can't even walk to the end of the driveway!!
More medical malpractice: I've been feeling very poorly of late and wasn't getting help from my incompetent doctor, so he sent me to a specialist. Turns out the pharmacy took it upon themselves to switch my medication about 12 months ago and - despite the fact that I asked my doctor whether that was ok (they said sure, no problem, it's the same stuff) - it was NOT ok. They should never have done that.
*murders doctor and his entire incompetent staff and the pharmacy for good measure*
Also, this specialist was the first one who took seriously my mystery memory problems and associated ills, not to mention my joints audibly cracking when I move around. How come it takes someone who doesn't specialize in that stuff to think there's a real problem?? She HEARD my joints cracking and said "What was that?!" and I said "you heard that?!" and she said "Yes!" and then I proceeded to demonstrate all the other cracking sounds my shoulders/hips/knees/neck can make. This sounds icky, but it's really not. It's like someone cracking their knuckles (which I hate and don't do) except 10 times as bad because I'm cracking bigger bones. :E
godix is right - I am a sick and degenerate woman!! -

Got up extra early this morning in preparation for the two-hour drive to for Another Anime Con. It was cold out, 24 degrees to be exact, and there was heavy frost all over my deck. I leave the house, all happy and enthused about some fun weekend con activity and AMV entertainment...and I slip on the deck stairs and fall, fortunately not cracking my head open on the concrete at the bottom, but causing my foot to twist and something in THERE to go "CRACK."
20 minutes later I managed to drive myself to the ER with my left foot and they fuss around and come back, after X-rays, and say yeap - you've got a bad sprain there. Really? No kidding!! I don't know why a sprain would go "crack," but as long as no bones are sticking out of my ankle then I'm cool with it. Nevertheless, there went my entire weekend, something I've been looking forward to for months. My AMV was going to be shown, too. :(
Hopefully someone at AAC thinks to check their e-mail when I don't show up. I'd kind of like to think a couple people were expecting me, but in the grand scheme of things I'm sure my presence is pretty low on their list of things to worry about. hehe -
Maybe it would be more obvious that I'm not a guy if I didn't have a guy in my avatar.

Got my hair cut today. The hairdresser didn't terrorize me, though she did wield her razor with great abandon. Something about making the ends less chunky...I don't know. All I know is I'm missing a good four inches off my hair. I can't even braid it any more. I look...older. :|
hehe, it's pretty funny how a few years ago I'd be all happy if my hair style made me look older. Now it bugs me. LOL We'll see if I still get carded as much... -
Why am I suddenly being called "sir"?

# 2008-10-10 14:58:27;) Thats damn neat, sir! Love it ;).
# 2008-10-10 12:00:49Good job sir O:
It's a conspiracy, clearly, to perpetuate the false assumption that I am a guy. I know, I know, it's shocking...I am a girl.
:|
Actually I'm a woman, hear me rawr.
I can't believe I just typed that...
