Video: Dangerous Game

I got really really excited after “Ab Aeterno” and “Across The Sea,” which were (in my opinion) the best episodes of LOST this last season. I’d say they were up there with “Flashes Before Your Eyes” and “The Constant.” Anyhow, I got really excited and the first thing I wanted to do was vid the snot out of it. I was still pretty bad with Vegas, so my efforts weren’t all that great. However, I came back to it and ended up liking it, so I finished it out. It’s not even the whole song.

It’s supposed to relate to the little game they seem to play back and forth, black vs. white, light vs. dark; the game since they’ve been playing since the very beginning. And they just keep starting it all over again, over and over and over.

15 Rules of the Drive-Thru

Last October, my store moved to a new building with lots of upgrades, the most important being a drive-thru. In the last nine months I’ve had plenty of chances to run it, and am usually wearing a headset, thus being part of the whole “drive-thru” experience. I’ve come to realize there are some rules that I wish everybody had a copy of. I don’t know how specific these may be to my store, but if you’ve ever run a drive-thru, you’ll surely be nodding and smiling…

  1. There is a time limit. We do actually get judged on how long it takes you to give us your order, and how long it takes for us to deliver it. We’re down with taking the heat when we take a little long to get your food. We do not, however, like it when you sit at our window and pull all the food out of your bag, artfully arrange your ketchup inside your sandwich, eat a few french fries, shoot a text to your mother in law, and then remember you haven’t put your seatbelt back on yet. That just pisses us off.
  2. Please don’t ask us for things that are obviously not served at our establishment. You want a Whopper, a McMuffin, or a Wacky Pack, you go to Burger King, McDonald’s, or Sonic. Continue reading “15 Rules of the Drive-Thru”

The Best of Times

I am seriously, seriously excited for the series finale of LOST. It was the first TV show I really got into, following every single episode like my life depended on it. I’m glad they’re not going to keep dragging it out, but I am so very sad to see it go. Sunday, it’ll all be over. Well, Monday, as soon as it shows up on Hulu… :)

The Perfect Forum

It seems like ages since I’ve been — really — part of a forum. I’ve started them, I’ve joined them, I’ve quit them, I’ve abandoned them. In fact, I’ve pretty much failed at ReGen here lately, and it’s to the point where I’m turning over admin-ship to the two global mods. I just don’t have the time or energy or desire to deal with it anymore.

Not so much because I don’t have time… I mean, I spend a pretty darn good amount of time on the Internet. No, it’s more like I just don’t have so much in common with the same people I used to anymore.

I’m in search, again, for the perfect forum. One populated with fellow trawlers of the ‘net, with a bend towards coding, design, and blogging, and maybe not so clique-ey. What I need to do is to stop myself from actively trying to snatch up Hitherston.com again. I want it back!

Video: All This Time

Ohh, I’m feeling pretty confident in my Sony Vegas skills now. I haven’t really delved into the heavy-duty insanely cool editing tricks just yet, but I feel like I’m farther than I was with Movie Maker, which was pretty much my goal. It took me such a long time to get used to editing without a clip library!

Anyhow, this is my first Doctor Who video ever. I’ve been itching to make them for ages, but going through and downloading four seasons of DW just seemed very daunting. Now I’ve got a new starting point, and besides, I love Eleven and Amy.
