Movies

My new favorite movies are, in order, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and "Shaun of the Dead." Wonderful. Just wonderful.

Video Student

It's been a while. Sorry I've neglected all of my friends in the blogosphere. I've been cramming, trying to learn all this video and graphic editing software I have now. I've tried the user manuals that came with the programs but they're useless, having been written by someone who obviously hasn't talked directly to another actual human being for years. I can't afford the "Total Training" discs, priced to put an independent startup like myself out of business. So I've been struggling. It helps that I have 17-plus years of linear editing experience, and that I'm a computer geek by nature. Slowy, surely, the knowledge is coming. I want to be ready for my first project, whatever that may be, but, note to the universe, don't let that stop the projects from coming in. I'll be able to handle them.

This is all pretty exciting. Now if I can just start paying for it.
