thesis/life update
yesterday, I spent 6 hours in the animation lab and I kicked ass the entire time.
today, I spent about 2.5 hours there and suffered terribly.
although, in my defense, I got the hardest work done yesterday. everything's all synched up and my sound effects are about as good as they can be for now. I exported a quicktime that looks absolutely marvelous and now I just have to plunk it into the editing bay to transfer to beta.
but, that's the problem... my file now is 3.5 GIGS. yes, GIGS. which is teh sadness of 1,000 kings. and my problem today was compressing it to a smaller size and not corrupting the file. if that sounds hard, well, it's because it is.
methinks the key is to just transfer it off of my external harddrive, instead of worrying about burning it to a cd.... we'll see what happens tomorrow, when I don't have to stop to go to jewelry class and skin myself on metal buffers, like today.
like all my other major projects, I feel like thesis is getting too much fun from kicking my ass, and that it needs to stop. like, now. because I have much to do and people I want to see but thesis doesn't really want me to go anywhere, I think. it just wants to be a little bitch.
all right. aaaaaaaaaand, //vent.
I can't believe mom will be here on thursday. that's two days from now. two!! I feel all spinny. I'm going to miss my people so much. don't worry guys, I'll be back to visit- but when I do, I'll need to crash with someone, since I can't rent a car until I'm 25, which is a bogus bogus law.
did you know people still say bogus? well, by people I mean me. and I'm kinda lame anyhow.
I have a scab on my upper lip. wtf?
I think I've been chewing it in my sleep from stress. some people grind their teeth, I bite my lip. and nails. and my hair falls out. hahahahahaa!!!
for those of you lucky enough to be in my seattle circle, teh ted and I are planning a shindig on friday june 30. unless you have a really good excuse, e.g. illness/traveling/boggle tournament of champions to compete in, I pretty much expect you there. yep. I believe it'll be on capitol hill and there will be allllllll sorts of debauchery going on. well, excluding the type that results in questionable hookups. that's never happened before....yet, anyways.
and since I'll be back home around monday nightish, let's you and I (that means YOU!!) go oot and aboot. the sooner the better. believe it or not, but I think I might actually need some cheering up once I get back home- did you ever think I'd say that? going back home and having my special californians far away will still make me sad. I hope you know how loved you guys are from that statement.
anyhow, enough dallying and back to work. now's the part of my day where I get to start packing more... oh boy.
