Real question here: I am thinking of maybe opening up the NY Times homepage and reading some non-local news.

Is it worth it? Or will I just drown in stress and get no sleep tonight? If you want to comment on this post, you can do so over here on Dreamwidth, where there are currently (

Hey, does anyone have advice on free video editing software?

I need to learn some basic video editing quick for work, and like BLEEP am I paying money for it.

What I need to do is:

1. add a title sequence (animated clip with sound) at the start of an apartment tour video

3. replace video of bathrooms and other ( Read more... )

In the interest of having small things I can finish at (hopefully!) reasonable speed while I work on longer and long-delayed projects, it's time once again for a mini-ficlet prompt meme!

I would like to finish one of my WIPs by the end of this weekend. Here are the three stories I am actively working on at the moment, and which are close enough to their ends for finishing tomorrow evening to be feasible:

1. Untitled Narnia bridge fic, aka a story featuring solely original characters, set a few years post-VDT and about a teen girl' ( Read more... )

I hate my life and all my current writing projects (including the prompt fill I am still working on from the last mini-ficlet prompt meme I opened, ARGH, that thing is made of kudzu and frustration but I am GOING TO BEAT IT eventually), and I just want to do some tiny finger exercises to hopefully clear out the cobwebs in my brain so I can focus ( Read more... )
