2/7 goals completed from last week. Sort of.

I definitely completed my most important goal. I finished my script homework, which was to write a short story version of our script as part of the preplanning stage. I've passed it along to my writing partner, who will now look at it and do his portion of the homework. So the script writing is well on its way. I'm really excited about this project and hope that something comes of it, even if it's just a short film (which is likely since he's been making friends down in L.A.)

The other completed goal is sort of two half completions. I didn't actually make a youtube video, but I made a five second promo thing for a colaboration project (making it half a goal met). I've sort of joined the MilTownKlan Alliance, which will allow me to connect with other YouTubers from around the world. We can then upload files to the net and use eachother to boost subscribers, and more importantly, make some fun videos. At least that's the idea.

And the other half goal met was that I tried to plug my new digital camcorder into my computer to begin making videos with that (I had a goal of testing the animation aspect of my new camcorder). So far my computer is not recognizing the camcorder, which makes it kind of useless, since I need to be able to edit the things I film. *sigh*

I have to have faith that I will figure this little glitch out. I must, otherwise it's a useless $300+ device. *double sigh*

I've gotten a couple of weird comments in old posts. Basically they are just a bunch of random letters, like this:

Anyone know what's going on here. I can't think of any reason why someone would want to do this on purpose.

This weekend was rather strange. The days were fabulous, beautiful, peaceful days. And the nights . . . . well the nigths, were not. Between the hitting the deer with my car, and the insane fights between family members, both nights were very different from the days. Fortunately we don't hold grudges in my family, so by the next morning everything was cool between everyone again. But, whew. What a weekend.

I have a post (with pictures) I want to write about a peaceful walk I took in Villa Montalvo, but my computer is arguing with my pictures, so I have to get that figured out first.

I'm pretty far behind with my Nano novel. I'm going to have to write about ten thousand words today to catch up, which is a lot for me, and is probably going to take about all day to do.

But I'm having computer problems. Basically my laptop spontaneously shut off last night and now refuses to turn back on, leaving several thousand words of my Nano novel locked inside. Right now, I'm using my mother's laptop, which I can only use until my sister wakes up, because she has been using it for her novel.

I hate computers.

Sorry. I haven't been able to post my photos (or anything really) of the stage design I worked on, because my internet browser doesn't seem to want to work. It keeps shutting down on me. Hopefully I'll get it worked out soon.

Hello.

It's been awhile, or it feels that way. I missed you. I keep meaning to drop a line here, say a few things. There are things I would like to post, to say.

However, I seem to have developed a recent aversion to computers. I avoid them, sometimes walking the long way to just stay out of their path.

Perhaps it's because I'm still brain-fried from substitute teaching, which ended over two weeks ago. Or perhaps it's because I'm newly brain-fried from standing in the hot sun and dealing with wild day camp kids. Either way, I have found computers, or more specifically spending time sitting at them, to be as compelling as a pile of doggie doo. I don't even check my e-mail regularly. It took great effort to get this far.

I'll try to get back to posting daily, after my brain starts functioning on a normal level again. That would be nice.

Okay, so how does this happen?

I posted no links into the text of one of my posts, but I look at it now and see that there are three links there. In parenthesies they are (bed)room, (sex)es, and (shades). Yeah, the link only appears on half of the word. It goes to some sight called searchmiracle.com.

I'm thinking that maybe I can only see it from my computer. So click on the link and take a look at the post and just let me know it you see the links.

Whether or not you see them, I am really confused. Could this be a new form of spoaming, in which these people pirate into someone's site and then creates links there?

I tried to go in and edit the page to get rid of it, but I can't see the additional html.

I need help.

Okay, so I couldn't get the pictures from my last post to post directly to my journal. Maybe it's because I use Yahoo Photos to try and access them. Oh well.

If you want to see them you should be able to see them by clicking on this link.

And if that doesn't work, then I would really like some advice on figuring out this whole picture thing.

Oh, yeah. And my teethe still hurt.

I had a nice, long, and funny post--which I just lost in the dredges of the electronic pulses of my computer.

Blast.

And I don't have the energy to retype it just now.

Sigh and blast.
