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 11:54 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.
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.
