:: Westsyde Elementary::
Hmm. Forget the Final Fantastory, I just remembered that I said I'd make my old Elementary school a school website...so *that* is now my new project.
Oh well. Since it's mostly information, such as newsletters and dates of special days and such, hopefully it won't be too intense.

:: Complaint Time ::
Okay. Is it just me, or has Icq suddenly surrendered itself out to the spam gods? Over the last couple of days, when this seems to have started, I've received countless pager messages for free porn, instant money, 'inside' investment deals...what the hell is going on? I hate that stupid pager thing anyways, I think I've received maybe ONE actual pager message, and that was from Shadnet. These are getting very annoying, very quickly.
Well, time to get ready for classes. And actually remember to pick Trev up today.

:: Photography Pics ::
Wanna see the pics I take for photography class? Check the link.
*cough* The felt pens I used to color a drawing of Space Ghost are making me nauseus...
In other news, turns out I studied the WRONG part of Chaucer for the quiz today. *siiiiiiigh* I read the introduction to Chaucer, instead of the introduction to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Not too good.

:: Mest ::
Just found a band named Mest, while searching Morpheus for Default's Wasting My Time - Mest also has a song titled that. Anyways, Mest rules! A nice fluke happening.

:: testing ::
Testing new "Currently [doing stuff]" things at the bottom of the page. Bleah...I'm making prints tomorrow! During my breaks. Also paying for Photography, which I just got signed into from the waitlist. Bah. More money. :| *sigh*
Oh, also added some more banner links on the side. Yup, more tinkering.

:: Farewell ::
On my way home from my Biology lecture tonight, I passed by the Maytag furniture store. They always have a little sign with a glib quote or comment on it. Tonight, the sign read "Our prayers go with you, Casey and Finnigan." Casey and Finnigan were, of course, the puppet companions of Ernie Coombs, better known as Mr. Dressup. Mr. Coombs passed away today from a stroke he suffered a week ago.
I can't honestly say I remember much about the Mr. Dressup show - it's mixed together with blurred memories of other childhood shows such as Mr. Rogers and The Polka Dot Door. But just the very mention of the name brings comforting, semiconscious memories, of laughter and of earnest enjoyment from those childhood days. Imagination was always the skill that Mr. Coombs would encourage, with creative crafts and games.
Truly 'tis a sad day. Farewell, Mr. Dressup.

:: Odd stuff ::
Well this is odd. Lately I've received two document files - one from Gordon, a workterm report draft, and one from Jeff, an English essay draft. Both to check out. So anyways, I saved the files to my Morpheus "Shared Files" folder, cause that's where all my recently downloaded stuff goes - so I figured might as well put them there.
I get back from school today, and having left Morpheus running because I had been downloading when I left, I found to my surprise that 2 people downloaded Jeff's english essy draft, and one person downloaded Gordon's workterm draft.
What the hell?!?
I wish I knew what they had been searching for, that they would download those...

:: Stupid Angelfire ::
I have this to say about Angelfire free webhosting: YOU SUCK!
I uploaded the movie there, and they destroy my account for some reason. I didn't like directly to it, I BUILT a page, an Angelfire page, with the link on that...so it's not remote loading. Bah, stupid bastards.
Well, I've uploaded it to aspekt.net - I know THEY (he) won't delete my account. :P
The link is here: The Video!

:: Done the video! (part 2) ::
Hooray, hooray, hooooooraaaaaaaay! It's done! Finally!! Hallejeuah! (or however you spell it, I don't care)
The final thing is 47 mb, without any sort of compression...I haven't looked into that yet. But it's an mpeg file, which means no divx codex problems or anything like that.
Estimated time spent: 25-30 hours.
I'm almost completely satisfied with it. There's only one scene, where Starscream dies, that I couldn't fit in. Well, and I wanted to have more near the conclusion where Hot Rod becomes Rodimus...but timing timing timing troubles occurred. I'm at this moment sending the video to Ryan, and awaiting his opinion.
Something kinda funny - right now, as I'm done, Gordon is just finishing HIS big project, a workterm report he had to do for his work!! We rule!! Yaaaaaaaah!

I'm done the video! As I write this, it's converting...ooooooh....the suspense!
Ah! It just finished!!! Time to do the final checking...

Currently working on
Eh, decided to copy Ardant and put a "Currently working on" thing at the bottom of the page, on the right. I figure it may get changed quite a bit. Or else I'll never change it and eventually take it off from un-use. Either way.
Actually now that I think about it, I'll likely move it to the left hand side, and put it either just above or below the banner links. More room there.
If I do get some developing done in photography tomorrow (well today), I'll try and scan some and post them. :)

Photography
I went to the park today, to take some pictures I'd need to process for my photography class tomorrow. And as luck would have it - there was a kid's festival or something happening! So I got some neat pics of the stuff going on there. Fred Penner was there, too. Then I went up and processed the film, and I was money in the dark room. I got the film out of the canister and wound it and sealed it in like 2 minutes. I was proud.
Then I used the chemicals, which took like 20 minutes. So that was boring. Boooooooring.
On another note, the Transformers Music Vid - currently stands at 3:45 complete of the 4:30 song. I'm ALMOST there...
