Stop motion fun

Maybe they should call it "Anti-fun"! Wow. Stop motion filming takes forever. I have to say for my first time I think I did an alright job. It's definitely time intensive and you have to jot down notes for items within the film that you want to remember to move or not move and when. I recommend you try it at some point. So the project took me a total of 7 hours to make using my 10.1 casio exilim digital camera. I used Windows movie maker to compose it and I used cooledit Pro for the sound editing. Everything isn't spot on, but I just didn't have the time to get things to match any closer.

Either way it was a fun project and a big part of me is VERY glad that it's over. Next time I'll do some planning for it instead of just winging it last minute and finding out how labor intensive it actually is...Sigh!

Non-Valentine's Day

Blog you say? On Valentines day? I'm ready to play.

I'm obviously ready to rhyme in time as well.

I don't believe in the spirit of this day. I do however believe in the pissing away of better spent money on frivolous things that don't last. Here's another list of things that your flower and dinner money could be better spent on:

  1. Me
  2. Pet food
  3. Some good movies
  4. A couple tanks of gas
  5. A really cheap hooker who's lonely for the evening
  6. Buy McDonalds for Dinner and pocket the rest of the cash for #5
  7. Charity
  8. Valentines day cards for everyone you know....but mail them to them throughout the year
  9. A few good books
  10. A pile of board games
  11. 1 video game
  12. Dog toys
  13. A cheap stay in a different city
  14. Maybe a whole plane ticket to somewhere else
  15. For all you ladies, A new pair of shoes!
  16. For all you men, A new lady that doesn't need a new pair of shoes!
  17. Omaha Steaks
  18. A fish Tank
  19. A suprise dinner with your mother or both parents
  20. Stuff it in a mattress.....When WWIII comes you'll be happy you did it.
