I’m seeking a friend for the end of the world
20 April 2008 @ 09:58 am
Ok, so I need help finding a song for a video I'm making. I rarely vid this way, I almost always have the song first... that's usually what inspires the idea for the vid. But this time I've got an idea and I don't have a song.
I'm not going to tell the fandom(s) or specifics of the vid, but I need something ANGSTY... go figure. A vague overview... it's about two people in a relationship, and one of them ends up falling for someone else... with the slight possibility of things turning violent after that happens.
Any ideas? You would think with the 6000 songs I have here I could find something suitable, but I cannot... And sorry for those of you who are reading this multiple times, as I'm also posting it on Reverie and Myspace. I need all the suggestions I can get!

realdetective.
a. Post a list of 25 fandoms.
b. Have your friends list guess your favorite character from each one.
c. When guessed, bold the line, include the character name, and write a sentence about why you like that character.
1. Veronica Mars (VERONICA - Guessed byrealdetective) She's smart, hot and such a badass, how can she NOT be my favorite? Plus Kristen Bell is a great actress!
2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (FAITH - Guessed byrealdetective) I loved how Faith's character grew over time. I loved her most when she was at her worst. Gotta love the tormented ones!
3. Angel
4. Battlestar Galactica (KARA - Guessed by bananainpyjamas) I seem to have a thing for badass female characters in my shows. Starbuck's journey from season 1 until now has been great to watch and that's why she's my favorite. Plus, she's pretty damn hot!
5. Weeds
6. Big Love
7. Alias (SYDNEY - Guessed byrealdetective) Along the same lines as VM, how can you not love such a badass female character? I didn't like Jennifer Garner at all until I saw her in Alias and then became a fan!
8. Nip/Tuck (CHRISTIAN - Guessed by jj_2000) Christian brings the most laughs to a sometimes ridiculous show. When he's not screwing his brains out with some random lay-of-the-week, he's being best buds with Sean. I love their chemistry. I prefer Christian in bastard mode, not when he's all emotional and shit... lol.
9. The Office (U.S.) - (JIM HALPERT - Guessed byrealdetective) LOL, gotta love the jimface. He's my favorite guy, and it was REALLY hard to choose a favorite character overall. I'm such a Jam fan, I squee every time they are together. And then I chug a beer and crush the can on my forehead to reclaim my manliness.
10. Heroes
11. Lost
12. Arrested Development
13. Sex and the City
14. 24
15. House (HOUSE - Guessed byrealdetective) This was a tough one... I love him, then I hate him. He can be the biggest jerk and say the most awful thing one minute, and then be so insanely likeable the next. I love his interactions with Cuddy (my runner up favorite character).
16. Brothers and Sisters
17. Tru Calling
18. Friends
19. Seinfeld
20. Six Feet Under
21. Roseanne (DARLENE - Guessed by jj_2000) Being prone to wicked amounts of sarcasm myself, of course Darlene would be my favorite character! She's hilarious and I love how she torments the rest of the family with her attitude!
22. Ally McBeal
23. Psych
24. The O.C. (SETH - Guessed by jj_2000) I love Seth. I love his quirkiness and his ability to sometimes ramble on so long about the most random thing. I love his brotherly bond with Ryan and even his on and off relationship with Summer. There's just something about him that's so endearing... Not that I watch The O.C. or anything... *cough cough*
25. Dawson's Creek (JEN LINDLEY - Guessed by realdetective) Michelle Williams is pretty much the only good actor on that show, IMO. I loved her as Jen, and the fact that they decided to kill her off pissed me off back when it happened. But it gave her some great material... the finale was heartbreaking.

So I'm all excited right now, I FINALLY got a laptop! I've been needing one for awhile for school and work, so I finally decided to buy one after months of shopping around.
Here's my question... What program is best for burning AVI files to DVD? My desktop doesn't have a DVD burner, so I've never had the option to do so. Now I can finally get some of these movies and tv shows I've got on here onto DVD! Any suggestions would be great! I wanna be able to burn this stuff and watch it on my regular DVD player. Thanks in advance!

I am sooo disappointed that Season 4 of Lost is starting out this way... With everyone's back story again. I just want them to get right back into the action!! Hopefully it's gonna get better.

So much win in one season culminating in some of the best episodes the series has ever had. I'm in love with Lost, and I want Evangeline Lilly... *must go edit my "Who I'd do.." list on TV Meme*

I am sitting in my Relational Database class and I want to impale myself on the corner of the desk. It sucks ass so bad. This semester is seriously going to kick my ass.
I've got 4 classes (Relational Databases - MS SQL and Oracle, E-Commerce, Javascript and Ajax, and Server Side Scripting). I think I am seriously going to have to ask to cut my hours some at work because this homework load is going to get overwhelming fast.
And now she is letting us go early so fucking-A!!! ... I'm outta here... :)
14 December 2007 @ 12:11 am
That's all I have left until the end of the semester, and I can't fricking wait. I'm off from work tomorrow(thank god), so I have to buckle down and finish my last project for one of my Web classes... I'm so ready to have a month off, I'm so burnt out. I think I definitely took on way too much this semester with school, working full time and my web clients...
Speaking of which, I will be spending my entire break between semesters working on the website for the architecture firm, which should be pretty cool. I've also got to finally get around to doing my Secret Santa gift for Reverie's Holiday. And I just got a desire to start about the hundredth vid I've wanted to start this year that won't be done... We'll see how far I get though :)

So now I'll be working full time, going to school full time, finding time for homework, spending time with Jennifer and designing sites for two web clients!!

Hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween!! I'll be thinking of you all as I'm sitting in my Programming class until 10 o'clock. :( Sucks to be me, yes I know...
On a positive note, I'm a little closer to getting a new web client (an architecture firm in Springfield!) I actually don't think I've mentioned my web design on LJ yet. I'm almost finished with a site for a local art studio, which has gone *relatively* smoothly.
OHHHH!!! And I found this to be pretty funny. In my web class last night, the teacher was talking about multimedia... She said our Lab was going to be something new and exciting, and then she asked if any of us had ever used Windows Movie Maker? I actually lol-ed, and she gave me a funny look. So I have an excuse to vid now!! It's for homework! I'm thinking I'll do the Lost vidlet I started ages ago using Vegas (she was all impressed that I have Vegas and Premiere)...I'm still too frightened to do anything with Premiere yet! :) So if I can spare some time this weekend, I might have a new vid for next week! If not then I'll just throw together some shitty photo slideshow, which would suffice to get a good grade.

So I'm officially bored with Heroes. Tonight's episode was just another in a string of disappointments for me. I absolutely HATE Hiro in Feudal Japan, he needs to teleport his ass back to the future! I like David Anders and all, mostly from Sark memories from Alias, but I just wish things would go *somewhere*
Claire's continued surprise this season at her abilities is dumb... She's all "oh wow, I can regenerate!" Didn't you figure that out last year? Lame. And so is West, that kid bugs me.
I am even missing Nikki, it's so sad she's only getting a few scenes here and there. Sylar is so not threatening anymore, so hopefully we'll get some Mylar action going soon.
And don't even start with the Peter amnesia storyline. Amnesia is so frickin cliched yet shows continue to go down that road. It's boring. We know who you are, and we want you to know too... I'm keeping my hopes high thatVeronica Mars Kristen Bell will keep me interested in Season Two. Her one episode so far was my favorite, just because she was in it pretty much.
Sophomore slump indeed.

Those are three things that have been occupying all my time as of late and it really sucks.
Jennifer (my wife) was in a car accident and we are finally settling with the other driver's insurance company after almost a month of bullshit. Tomorrow will be our last day of carpooling everywhere (thank god)... We go pick up her new-ish car tomorrow.
Money, money, money, where are you?? My fortune cookie last week said something about "Riches shining upon me soon..." Well I'm still waiting, I wish riches would hurry their ass up and get here.
And it's 1AM now and I've been up doing homework all night and I have to get up in 4 hours to start what feels like my hundredth 18 hour day in a row... Gahh....

Yeah, I never meant to blow off Live Journal all summer but it happened and that sucks... Fall semester started today so between two jobs and a full classload I doubt I'll have much time for fun stuff like vidding :(
I've finished two videos since my last post three months ago (one remaster, one new) Here they are:
Song: "Slipped Away" by Avril Lavigne
Length: 3:43
Released: June 2007
Description: This is the REMASTERED VERSION of Slipped Away, made with a new ripper, a new editing program, new effects and just overall improved editing skills (hopefully). My tribute video to my favorite episode of Buffy ("The Body"). Also contains some scenes at the end from "Forever".
AND the newer one:
Song: "Invincible" by Muse
Length: 5:20
Released: July 2007
Description: Finally finished a new full-length Buffy video!! This song just made me nostalgic for Buffy and I thought it went really well with the show. Originally started as an episodic to "Chosen," but then I decided to make a mini-retrospective of all seven seasons with "Chosen" bookending the beginning and end of the video. Enjoy!
I have so many projects I'd like to start, but I honestly won't have time, so we'll see how long it takes me to finish something now.. lol
In the meantime, I can also be found at my website: Bring on the Night, which I am in the middle of recoding so every page is 100% XHTML compliant. Possibly a new layout on the way sometime in the next month (again, if time permits)
Until later!

Song: "Runaway" by Pink
Fandom: BtVS
Length: 1:48
Description: This was my entry into the Reverie Style Contest. It's been finished for a little over a month, but I can only post it now since the contest just ended. It was my first Buffy video in 8 months, and my first video using Sony Vegas. I'm fairly pleased with how it turned out. It's an episodic vid of The Becoming 1 and 2, and Anne. It shows Buffy's emotional breakdown at the end of Season 2 and how it forces her to leave town and start over in Los Angeles.

In addition to adding the title, credits and watermark, I also added a border to the video. The original vid had a few snags with the audio, so I downloaded a better quality version of the song.

So my wife sucked me into the American Idol Frenzy this year and after last night's results I am officially pissed off. Melinda deserves to win much more than the two finalists (Jordin and Blake) and she got the boot.
This is just further proof that America votes based on looks and marketability. So instead of a great singer like Melinda, the winner will most likely end up being Jodin... And she will become this typical cookie cutter pop star.
Grrr....
