sisabetDamn - this actually woke me up.
Bo Duke is wrong. The cows *will* feed themselves. That is the wonderful thing about cows and pasture. They pretty much have a handle on what to do.
Now - yeah - if you have calves en masse that are not weaned and you have then away from mamma - then you have to give them bottles. I loved that when I was a kid, actually. Also - you do sometimes put out hay in the winter - depends. But cows will feed themselves.
And again. This got me out of *bed*
Watch Smallville with my father and he will eventually make a small disapproving noise and say something along the lines of "The farm really just fell apart when Jessie died, didn't it?"
See - this shit is genetic.

Also we would like to thank our sponsor: Renenet Help Me cause I am going insane with this song there is too much song oh my god what was I thinking and you have to fix this now.
Special Mention must also be given to Lum Where ARE YOU????
And now I go back to bed where I will try to not think about the fact that the Kent's cows change type from episode to episode and really and truly that is not a dairy farm and why would they forget that and try to make it one and omigod I need to vid.

Date: 2004-10-12 09:41 am (UTC)Well, this stopped me in my tracks. You're forgetting one of the unspoken rules of vidding: The vid will fill the music space available, and then some. The secret is the judicious use of your clips. Every single time I start a vid with a song that's over 3:08, I think that it's going to be too long and I'll have to edit, and every single time I edit, I end up realizing that I have too much vid for the music. Editing "World Turning?" Nearly freakin' *killed* me. I have storyboarded all 4:32 of that song in my head.
How's the HD or is that "it that shall not be mentioned?"
I'm sort of here. sort of. I'll be around this evening if you will.
[hugs and kisses and stuff]

Well yes - I know this. I've just forgotten how to do it. I'm staring at the timeline and NOTHING IS HAPPENING and it is starting to freak me out cause I should not be staring at a timeline and it should not be freaking me out and this is not my beautiful house and this is not my beautiful wife.
Yeah - what is supposed to happen is I look at an expanse on the timeline and go "Oh dear - I have 24 seconds after this lyric before the music changes and I do X" and then I briefly think that 24 seconds is a long time BUT then I forget that it is 24 seconds because I am vidding and 4 hours later I look up and I have something great there but I need 6 more seconds before the change to really get my point across.
This is not happening. This is when I start panicking. I have forgotten how to vid. I can't make anything look right and what does look right is only there for a second and nothing is happening and everything is static and it is the worst feeling in the world. Well not the worst - but it is a really terrible feeling to have while you are doing something you are supposed to enjoy. I am staring at a timeline and it is looking back to me and I swear its soul is EMPTY.
The less we talk about the HD the better - I'm replacing stuff I can right now and the other stuff I will just deal with as it comes up. The most pain is clips and project files that disappeared. But it could have been worse.

Date: 2004-10-12 12:04 pm (UTC)Okay, you know how to get past this. You haven't forgotten how to vid. You've forgotten how to fuck around with vidding, and that's where the fun is! It's not a project! It's fucking around time! Yay!! [channels Ferris: You're not dying! You just can't think of anything good to do.] I'm actually opening Premiere today (some time today) and fooling around with video effects. Maybe levels and key-framed track matting. I mean, I sort of already know how to do these things, but I want them to become second nature. And stuff.
Okay, I know you had a vidding drive, but was your *documents and settings folder* on that drive? Your default one that says stuff like 'Administrator,' etc.? Usually docsandseethings are on the C drive. Look in there and find the Adobe folder. I guarantee you that it's there. EVERY project will have at least a couple of archived ppj's. EVERY ONE.
Is there anything I can help you to replace? I have lots of stuff, not a little that came from you!

I've replaced all the Smallville that I knew was deleted already - I might have missed stuff. I lost *a lot* of clips in various project files and that will be a pain...or time for a new start... I'll have to think about that.
I have not looked and accessed the damage done to Angel. I just keep thinking that eventually S5 will be on DVD and I can relax.
