So far i've clocked 50 hours of pre-editing work on "Project Squick." At this rate i'm going to have over 1000 clips to work with o.o;; Hopefully I can keep the pre-editing work time under 200 hours, but i'm not sure. I just want to start the damn thing already, but i still need to dump the image streams for another 5 DVDs, think of the best way to transition between large-image mosaic cutouts and small image mosaics (since i can't import a 72,000x48,000 pixel mosaic into AE), and clip clip clip.
If i can get the whole thing done by the end of January i'll be lucky. Hopefully i'll have at least a few seconds of video rendered by the end of the summer. - 2005-12-18 11:39:52 Wow.. why do all the Banners suck so much? Any why isn't there a 3rd option after unworthy that revokes someone's banner-making privlages for a month at a time after they get enough of that ranking?

Addendum... that's as long as the last one o.o;;

Hmm… it seems all this actual working caused me to miss a few things in my last post… I’ll fill in some info I had neglected here…
When I was up in Conway I went to this discount bookstore to look for some Japanese travel guides or language books that weren’t too dated. I had no luck on the travel guides (their travel section was mostly US based and sported primarily European destinations in the global section), but I did manage to pick up a pocket sized Japanese-English dictionary. By itself, it’s not terribly useful, but I thought it might be good to go with a few basic language books… and it was like $3. Now I think it would be good to try to find either a book guide to the language and/or a audio guide (multiple CD set type thing that I could listen to at work or at home).
I still have yet to receive my AMA prize. I’m getting kinda worried it was lost in the mail or something. According to the email I responded to, it was to be shipped out once my shipping address had been confirmed, that was like 2 or 3 weeks ago. I’ll have to find that email and respond to it again to see what the problem is.
Well, it seems like I have officially lost my full-boat scholarship to UML… It sucks because I know I could have prevented it if I had simply skipped my final and intentionally failed my Calc II class. There are 2 lessons to be learnt here, 1, never try to do the right thing, and 2, idk, something about homework being there to help you even if it doesn’t count towards your grade at all… Now, to make matters worse, I think my father is going to try to force me not to go to Japan this January because of all of this. I can’t miss this trip though… I know how my priority system works and this will be put on the back burner for at least 5 years if I don’t do it now. Now I guess I have to apply for loans, but I don’t know what I can really do in that regard. I have a feeling my father won’t cosign for anything and I don’t want to ask anyone else to either. I can afford to pay a good $4000 to $5000 of the bill and still afford my trip and work-study could make up for $3500 more but loans will be needed to fill in the rest of the $14,400 total bill. I realize that that’s cheep in comparison to some schools (it’s a state school after all), but I do have to pay it all on my own and it pisses me off that all the other scholarships that I was eligible for through the school and through the state had deadlines that were well prior to my realization that I had lost mine. All that anger pales in comparison to the fact that I was willfully deceived by the staff at the registrar’s office about the requirements to drop a grade from your record. Since our grading scheme changed halfway through the year and the requirements for dropping a grade were based on the old system I called and spoke with someone and was told that there was no longer any stipulations to drop a grade ( I had a C in Calc II and was considering skipping the final so that I could get an F and retake the course) . Apparently that wasn’t true and everyone in the office denies that I could have ever been told such a thing. I already spoke to the professor and talked him into lowering my grade (with a solid reason) but the department chairperson (who has to authorize such changes) said that it should not be done. I had contemplated talking to a lawyer, but that would be way too expensive for me (that, and I don’t have a name of the person who told me the false info). The best I think I can do is drop a line to the local media outlets hoping that they are in need of a human interest story. I fear retribution on behalf of the school if I do that though. Not overtly, they’re too smart for that, but I assume that every effort will be made to loose paperwork, misplace grades, or have other items or info leak/disappear because of the poor publicity this would surely generate. What to do…
Now, here’s a question I put out to anyone reading this: I’ve had some traffic to this journal and I’m trying to figure out if it’s just random bored people looking at anything they can click? Or do I have people who actually come back several times to read what I have written? Let me know if you have the time/desire to do so.

Tired mind, aching body

Well, it’s been far too long since I wrote anything in here; shame on me.
The last few days have been interesting to say the least. I think I’ve developed a case of insomnia, but more on that later… On Saturday I woke up at about 3 PM (I worked the night before, so it’s not like I slept that long) and soon got a call from a friend whom I had called previously. He came by later on we went to the arcade, played some DDR and Initial D then shot over to the mall for shits and giggles. At some point there I thought it would be a good idea to follow him on his trip up to NH that night to stay at his grandparents’ lake-side cottage so we packed and went north. By the time we finally got up there it was about 1AM and he wanted to go to sleep; the interesting thing was that because of the mold problem in the house and his allergies, we slept outside in a tent – a nice tent mind you, but a tent. Well with my night-mode sleeping and bad back I think I may have clocked about 1 ½ hours of sleep that night between 2 and 4, but I did manage to finish another 25 missions in FF tactics advanced, which wasn’t half bad. We finally got up, ate, took a small walk around the area then went in his father’s boat for a tour of the lake and some tubing. Now I know I’m not the most physically fit person around, and I often like to remind myself of that fact. After tubing on Sunday for what couldn’t have been more than 5 minutes or so I felt fine… It’s now Tuesday night and I can’t raise my arms up past my shoulders without being in noticeable pain and the constant ache is quite troublesome. o.o;;
After the lake adventure, we decided to go over to Conway to hit the outlet malls… specifically the Lindt chocolate one. So much chocolate :). After that we headed back to the lake, swam, ate, etc. I ended up passing out at about 8:00 back in the tent. I woke back up at 6 AM but I had been awakened several times in the night (back pain, loud rain, etc) so I really can’t tell how much I actually slept. We did this and that and I ended up returning home by 4 so I could go to work. Ok… I figure I slept a total of 9 or 10 hours total from Saturday afternoon until the time I finally went back to bed on Tuesday morning -- about 9 hours of sleep in a span of 67 hours. Does that count as insomnia?
Work on Monday night was interesting to say the least. I got in half asleep as it was and found out that a large amount of this coagulant (slimy white ooze) had been spilled in an accident during the day. It had clogged the drains and it covered parts of the floor – smelled interesting too. The scene looked rather unpleasant – like a tribe of giants decided to have a circle-jerk on the air compressor. I’m glad on of the guys I worked with noticed how exhausted I was and had me work in another part of the plant for the night. I couldn’t stand working with/in/ or even near that mess.
I realized that I not only haven’t been editing that much this summer, I haven’t been watching any anime whatsoever in the last month or so. I resolve to end that in the next few days. I have so many series I need to finish, so maybe a marathon of sorts should be in order. I do remember why I stopped watching stuff though… Prince of Tennis was threatening to corrupt me with impure thoughts of physical fitness through tennis (I actually got over all the yaoi undertones. They’re just part of the series for me now. I have simply decided that doubles partners = lovers and left it at that.). I’m seriously considering playing tennis tough. I do need to exercise more (as the 35 lbs I gained in school last year can tell you quite well) and by more I mean “at all,” so this might be a good thing… eh, mada mada dane…
