Fun Fact:

I am a Journal Junkie.
Some of you people post waaaaay too much. I just post a little bit too much. I'm looking at you, JDax. You're cool, but honestly... slow down. And Tune Mizu? ...you don't even seem to have anything to say. Five posts in one day is too much. Sheesh. And yet I read all of your journals. Why? I told you, I'm a journal junkie. It's a bad habit.
I'm still ripping DVDs, by the way. Ye gods. I started, what... Wednesday? And I'm still in the DVD ripping phase. That's insane. I hope I can make this AMV up to par with my concept. It will not be easy. It could definately take months... but I'll have it ready in time for Anime Mid-Atlantic, if not Nekocon. I'm really excited about this project. It will be my first time making an action video, and using an editor other than Momma WMM. I hope I have what it takes. I've yet to see a Futurama video that didn't suck. In fact... as far as I can tell, animemusicvideos.org doesn't have a single Futurama-only video. I know we cant upload them, but I would have thought that someone would've made one for a direct download. So does that make me a pioneer or a deviant? I suppose it depends on whether or not my video sucks.
In preparation for editing, I've watched almost all the episodes. It's given me a lot of ideas on how I want to do this. It wont be easy, but I want a clip-on-the-syllable action video; fast and stylish. I hope I'll have enough footage. I certainly have enough on DVD, but as I've said before, I can't rip everything.
If you're wondering about my video, download the song "The In Set", by Smash Mouth. It's one of their good songs, I swear. That will give you an idea, at least, of how my video will be. I hope.

Alcoholic Experimentation For Fun And Profit
2005-08-06 14:09:40
Half a glass of cranberry juice.
A tablespoon and a half of pina colada mix.
Two tablespoons of caramel syrup.
And two splashes (medium-sized splashes) of peach brandy.
Stir vigorously.
It's good. A bit tangy. Like all of my invented drinks, it's not spectacularly alcoholic... you could drink two of them and still go to work without anyone noticing anything... but it tastes damn good. The pina colada is a nice touch. I'll have to experiment with adding more alcohol. ^_~ -
Jump Around?

Just watched Sammy's "JUMP!" video. Actually, I liked it. Yeah, that's right- I liked it. The video quality was crappy as all hell, but it was an amusing video. The lip-sync (when used) was solid and good-looking, the action-sync was well timed... basically, it played out like a rather nice tribute to Big Big Truck's Crazy Ass Violence... which is the look he said he was pursuing. So, yeah. I wont review it as he asked people not too, but... I liked it.
Too bad the video quality was absolutely horrible, though. Ugh. -

Wtaching/ripping the episodes I want out of all four Futurama DVD collections. It's hard to know what to rip when you own ALL the episodes. There's a lot to choose from. I've had to limit myself to only ripping footage I know I'll want and action footage. You can never have too much action footage, for drumrolls if nothing else. I have only limited space, so the temptation to use highly compressed footage was high, but... I decided to go for the pretty DVD-quality video, instead. God only knows how I'll make it all fit.
Anyway, I still have an unreleased video! It's Gloryland, I've held back on releasing it because, well... its not very good, and I'm not sure my ego can take it right now. My best video, according to star ratings, is Irresponsible Captain Thnickaman. It is four seconds or so long. It has four stars. IT HAS FOUR STARS. What's wrong with you people? IT HAS FOUR STAR! Why? It's almost my worst video! And it has four stars. What do my other videos have? Well, here's an overview:
Irresponsible Captain Thnickaman: 4.00
Royale Avec Fromage: 3.49
For She Is The Kwisatz Haderach!: 3.24
Mystery Samurai Theater 3000: 2.73
*sigh*
It's not that it upsets me. I like my video. Really! I just don't think it's as good my other videos, really. Or at least not as good as my Dune Trailer. But... oh well. I need to focus on my current videos. So you know, this journal entry's title does not mean my video is a drama video. It isn't! Really! It's an action/fun video. ^_^'' I don't want to do drama for a long time, because it is not my forte. My forte, it seems, is sillyness. And, I'm hoping, fun. I want to be the american equivalent of the minister of fun. Yeah. Oh something like that.
Oh yeah! I may be getting a new video editing program. A good one! And I don't even have to pay for it. I've got connections, apparently. Woo.
Back to ripping footage. -
Don't see that every day.

Apparently, Sammy is Quitting His Journal. Mmhmm. Incidentally, he's also decided to shave his head and become a Buddhist monk, embracing the world with love and understanding. If I sound a bit cynical, it's partly because I AM a bit cynical. Sammy has a soapbox and-
We interrupt the typing of this journal entry because, frankly, the point is moot. While I was typing it, he posted in his journal again. ... Well, I think that if I had a point, it was just made.
On that note, I didn't make his list, because I phear the phorums, but I'm sure thaqt if he noticed me, he';d find fault in me for one thing or another. "That Jerrit Tenurb is a fucking cunthole," he'd proclaim, "who fucks his mother with a signpost. And his videos probably suck too, but he sucks so bad that I'm not even going to bother downloading them."
I kid, Sammy. I kid because I love. Not you, but I do love. I use you as my example because you are a symbol, of sorts. I like to think that the Arrogant Asshole role is one you play to gain attention and popularity. I don't think you're anywhere near as cocky as you pretend to be... just like I don't Eminem really wants to have sex with his mom. You do it to egg people on, to play puppetmaster, and to be a mini-celebrity. It's hard to be famous, but it's easy to be infamous. And you know what? We need that. We all need someone we can hate, so we can look at their faults instead of thinking about our own. Hatred of you has given the rest of the Org unity. Almost all of us have that in common, at least. So thank you for the purpose you play. It's annoying as hell, but someone has to do it.
