Chrisumasu

[gwyn_r]

Of all the Japanglish words I love, Chrisumasu is my favorite. This Chrisumasu (aka Winter Shopping Festival) was weird, though. My dad's present won't arrive until possibly next week, so I am empty-handed for both the holiday and for his birthday, which is tomorrow. I felt like a lousy daughter again, especially since he loaded me down with a

LOL!!! You know, the Miracles vid I had in mind isn't necessarily slashtastic, but I could definitely do it (although Darkness, Darkness did have a slash element to it that only a few people seemed to actually see!). Maybe that's a good idea.

Your picks are full of ones that sound very interesting to me for the most part. (Especially the Wanderlust ones.) I think that, based on how differently I seem to view these so far, I'm just going to have to not rely on what people say in the reviews and try everything that sounds interesting to me until I get a handle on what's not working. That old talcum smell drives me nuts, too, and it's the main thing I have to watch out for.

Ooh I love Chrisumasu too. Very cool.

I'm so sorry about the lack of ability to get clips. I know you capture but is there any possibility you could rip the DVDs and make clips? Technology sucks, it's not your fault.

[gwyn_r]

There's so much involved in ripping that I don't understand that I don't think I can handle it under such a deadline. I've known for a long time that this would probably be an untenable method for the long-term, but I'm not there mentally, I guess. I wish I'd found all this out about a month ago, so I could have had the luxury of finding an alternative!! That will teach me!

[anoel]

Well I don't think it's *that* hard. You can basically just use DVD Decrptor to easily rip the episodes off the dvd and then use DGindex to turn it into a file that VirtualDubMod can handle and then you can make clips from there. I understand about the deadline though, I hope you can find an alternative vid to do by then.

[boniblithe]

You could vid Charlie and Larry, or Charlie and Colby. Or Colby and David. Charlie and Don don't feel slashy to me either, but I think that's Don's fault *g*

[gwyn_r]

Colby and David are totally married to each other now. Unfortunately I don't have a song for them! (I'm sure Melina would want me to find one though!) I do have a song for Don and Charlie (two in fact), but they're not OMG incest.

It's weird, I've never had much trouble with the incest thing at all, but I've never seen it for Numb3rs. I think it's a lot of Don's fault, too, because I can't see him ever directing his feelings that way. Besides, he totally belongs to Coop.

Truth is, I'm just heartsick because I can't make the vid I want, and I feel so technologically incompetent.

Ugh. Bad feeling. I hope you can get some help to work through the technical difficulties!
