Today I suffered the horror of the annual Staff Conference and, mind-boggling as it is, it was actually even more boring than last year. It really didn't help that most of the speakers were French. Their accents were so thick and they talked so fast that I only caught about every fourth word. I spent the last thirty minutes thinking about how short to cut my hair and what colour I should dye it. So....I'm thinking brown without any red this time. I fancy a change.

Last night I managed to finish what I am calling the 'first draft' of my SGA vid. I'm really pleased with the results. Now I'm gonna step back for a couple of days and look at it again with fresh eyes. There are a few clips that I'm not sure about so I reckon I'll be able to come to a decision after a break. Also, there are a couple of spots were the vid sort of 'hangs'. I'm gonna investigate why that is happening.

Flist time!!!! ~runs away~

Staff conferences are a good way of making you think about the really important things. Or start biting the desk, which wouldn't be good for your career prospects. How about shoulder length and curly and chestnut brown?

Wow, you really got going once you decided to have a go at vidding! I've noticed slight 'hanging' in some vids and always wondered why that happened. I figured it was just not editing hard enough but I know nothing. *g*

Exactly! My hair is important. It's in dire need of some maintanence.

How about shoulder length and curly and chestnut brown?

Perfect!! Seriously. Decision made! I'll book my appointment for next week and buy a bottle of chestnut. Thanks, luv!

Wow, you really got going once you decided to have a go at vidding!

Well, I'd been wanting to have a go for months but i promised myself I'd finish a few other things first. Then it was all systems go!!

I can't understand the hanging. There seems to be no reason for it and weirdly it sometimes hangs in a slightly diff place each time it plays. I'm thinking of maybe replacing the clips entirely as they aren't pivotal ones. I can't wait for you to see it!!

[kitty-poker1.livejournal.com]

Cool! I'm looking forward to seeing the new you in a couple of weeks. *g*

I can't wait to see it either!! Yeah, maybe try replacing the clips. The more playing you do, the better you'll understand how it all works and the better you'll get. Yay!

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Yay! Can't wait!! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Well, I shall hopefully be buying this other program, but I think it's good practice anyway to fiddle. If I notice mistake, others will, too.

btw, did you see that [Unknown site tag] posted a damn funny SGA drabble? It's brilliant. Heeeeeeeee!

And...I've just noticed your icon ~thud~

[kitty-poker1.livejournal.com]

Yeah, fiddling is always good because it's the best way to learn.

The icon is by pet_23 and it's very thud-worthy. Think I might make it my default for a bit because, hey, hotness. *g*

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Exactly! And apparantly this other program is even easier to use to fiddling gonna be even more fun!! Yay!!

You must default it now! It's...it's... ~falls down again~

Oh shit, that was helpful of me. whoops! I meant: janedavitt :oD

[kitty-poker1.livejournal.com]

LOL! Silly Suki. *smooch* Do you mean the lemon one? I've already read and fb. It's so funny! She does great characterisation, whether it's McShep or Blim or anyone else, even in a drabble.

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

~blush~ Yeah, that's the one. So funny! She's a good writer!

I wanted to learn French in - I think it's like high school - because i thought the language is so beautiful.
So I did and was happy.
And then I heard a few real French people talk and I never recovered from the speed. LOL

besides, when can you make all the important decisions like the colour of your hair, if not when you're having so much time... *g*

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

LOL! Yes! I picked up French quite easily at school but actually listening to a real French person speaking is an absolute nightmare!!

Hee! It was a good opportunity to think of such important things. I really did need to be thought about. Very important.

Staff meetings always remind me of the teacher in the Peanuts stories. The one that drones on blah, blah, productivity, blah, blah.

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Hee! That's exactly what it was like, except the Blah, blah... was at high speed. Oh, and - yes, I am 12 - I kept wanting to snigger everytime they said 'market penetration'. And the word "focus" in a french accent sounds like "fuck us". :oD

[jans-intentions.livejournal.com]

LMAO! Well, at least it kept you awake.

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Hee! True!

Your hair is a much more important topic than some boring old staff conference anyway. :) I have been toying with a new color for mine as well. Right now I fancy myself as a redhead. What do you think?

Oh keep me updated on the video progress. You said I would like the choice of song. I am so curious to know what it is that I can hardly stand it! Good luck.

*hugs*

Yes! I think you'd look lovely with red hair. I'm seeing a rich colour with deep ruby tones. Beautiful!

You said I would like the choice of song. I am so curious to know what it is that I can hardly stand it!

LOL! Well, I'm not sure you actually like the song, but I think you of all people will appreciate the humour of it. Tee heeeee!!!

[trekgirl55.livejournal.com]

OMG! Icon love! *hearts*

Yes! A deep rich red with highlights was exactly what I was thinking. I think I will go for it!

I see humour in almost everything so you are probably right. *gigglegrin*

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Hee! It's by icon_ascension and it's sharable if you want to nab it :o)

I see humour in almost everything so you are probably right. *gigglegrin*

Me too!

MWAH!

[velvetwhip.livejournal.com]

Oh no! Not a conference! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I am so excited that you made your first video!

I was traumatised!!

I'm very excited too. I'm gonna work on editing today. I'm trying to slow down and take my time to get it right. My brain tends to race ahead to the next project!

[velvetwhip.livejournal.com]

I can well imagine!

I am positive you will achieve greatness!
