sisabetSo - I'm bored. I should read something, I have books. I don't wanna. I could watch a movie. Eh. I could vid...*bitter laugh*
So - I'll update:

devilpiglet
The Piglet has been located, safe and unharmed. While she is alarmed by the apparent invasion of the Piglet-Bots, I think it is only from a copyright standpoint. I'm sure that once she realizes the good that a massive infusion of Piglet-Bots can bring to the world she will understand the necessity. Oh, and by the way: no bears were harmed in the making of this update.
Status: Dad
Dad came through all tests with wonderful initial results and hopefully is back to aggravating my mother fulltime as I type. The coming weeks will find me and Daddy-Dearest engaged in that time honored father-daughter bonding exercise: brewing your own beer at home. Bound to to create the ties that bind as I like my Dad and I like beer.
Status: Vidding
Now that I can play and start new projects, I well...can't. I'm seized by, something very strange - something that doesn't really want to vid at all. So I'm revisiting "Battleflag" and playing. I'm also mercilessly cutting. I fear not the schmoop, because the I control the schmoop, it does not control me. I am going to get my hands dirty, I'm going to get into this, I am... oh hell. This song is hard and Brian is difficult and dammit. I need some fight sequences, cause this show? People talking and/or fucking and that is about it. And I want to capture these moments - the Big Emotion moments - but then I worry that I am vidding too deep into soap opera territory and I then have to realize that QaF is just one big ole soap. But so was BtVS and so is AtS. They just happen to have vampires. And QaF has Brian Kinney. I can vid this. ::buries head in hands::
Status: Work
Good thing I didn't take off today as the big boss picked this date to go through everyone of my pending files and give me feedback. It's good. Really. I like feedback. I do. It's how I learn. Except I really don't have a lot to learn about the current job since I've been doing a job above and beyond this level for a few years. But I'm fine. Obviously, I needed some guidance or my files would be perfect. Has nothing to do with gooding off on the internet while working. Nothing at all to do with that. Nossiree.
I also went to lunch today with a co-worker who apparently is pimping me big time to take his job if he gets the promotion he applied for (should be a done deal - his promotion). Here is the thing: I'm New Girl. There are several people in line for his position if it opens up - have been waiting in this office for a long time for such an opportunity. I'm New - did I mention that? I also have experience at his job - boatloads of it. They have none. They've been around for a while, yeah. But I have actually done the job. Do I want the position? Not really. But career-wise it would be unwise for me not to take it.
I hate my job.

Missed it. Bummed me out. If it wasn't for Vividcon, I might be depressed.
Status: New Skill
I can now make purty screencaps. I can't really do anything with them (Dawn made me a new title card for "Peacekeeper" - whoo-hoo) - but if I have it on disc I can cap it. Anybody wanting that Lethal Weapon in depth analyzation still complete with illustratory slides (is "illustratory" a word - I can't muster the enthusiasm for spell-check)? I can do it. Tyler Durden shots? I'm your gal. I really should takewisteria_'s photoshop tutorials, shouldn't I? Eh. My head hurts. Maybe later.
Status: Random QaF Thought for the Day
If I was Brian Kinney, and I know that I am not although we may be related, I'd be leaving my father's graveside service as well to smoke a doobie. Some friends he has - every single one of them is watching him intently, waiting to see him break-down. Fuckers. Don't stare at the boy burying his father. It is very bad manners. Give the dude some space. Oh - and don't be disgusted if he acts inappropriately at the wake. Did you meet his family? He is the well-adjusted one. I will now stop talking to fictional characters as if they exist.
Thank you for your time.
So - I'll update:
