Weeeeee! I am in seventh heaven right now. I'm sure you guys remember me saying I was going to be getting a Macbook in July, right? Well, after my mom and I lost our jobs, I was unsure of that still happening, but mom said she didn't mind still doing it and using some of the college money I have saved up. IT GOT HERE THURSDAY. :D Last week I went ( Read more... )

HEY WE CAN GEEK OUT ABOUT USING IMOVIE NOW!!! I just got into vidding. :P
Hey and while the quality isn't the best GOOD EDITING! I rip my DVDs to vid mostly. But I'll try using tv rips soon because I want to do a Warehouse 13 vid. :P

froodytowel is my nonvlog/vidding channel.

We're all going to hate Stefan and Elena and only watch for Ian Somerhalder/Damon, rofl. JUST LIKE ERIC!!

IT'S SO AWESOME. I can't believe how much I love this thing. THANK YOU!! I was hoping I got that down at least.

I can't figure out how to do that. I have Final Cut Pro installed, but I'm nowhere near skilled enough to use that yet. But I used that to export the Supernatural vid I used from .avi to .mpeg so I could import it into iMovie and that's where the video messed itself up. I blame myself for not paying attention to what I was doing, but I was really irritated that I couldn't import the video in the first place. Maybe if I try it again, it will look better.

Yeah, I'm definitely considering making a fanvid channel.

LOL. It's so true! Every time I see Ian, I'm like *FANGIRL SIGH*. XD;

I use Handbrake to rip my dvds. But a fair warning. They still take a while to load into iMovie. So if I am looking for something specific, I watch or skim through them ep and make note of the chaptmer. Then rip the chapters I need individually even if I end up using the whole episode. And load them individually into iMovie. Then go through it with the red thinger and choose it with the yellow bit. Badaboom.

Congrats on the new laptop.

What's the name of the salon's shampoo? Or is it exclusive? My hair always needs TLC since it's so unruly.

They have Christmas stuff on display here too!

Thank you!

The shampoo is called Peppermint Clean shampoo, and my mom and I have done some research and found you can find their shampoo online. They don't have a website -- we think they just buy the products online, add their salon's name to the bottles, and jack up the prices. I'm pretty "whatevz" when it comes to hair products -- meaning I'm always switching shampoos and conditioners depending on what my mom wants to buy (which is also why I'm always willing to use free stuff, lol) -- but I always liked Aveda and Biolage. Aveda's more on the expensive side, but they are really organic-based products. And, if you can find a store near you, they are good with suggesting things based on your hair woes. They also have a website so you can see how expensive they are and stuff.

I haven't seen Christmas displays here yet. They're pretty good about waiting until after Halloween. Still, it's like Thanksgiving doesn't even exist anymore around here, rofl.

Thanks for the advice. I've heard good things about Aveda and have seen at least one store in my area.

No problem! Pretty much every salon I've gone to always gives me the thumbs up on Aveda, so I doubt you could ever go wrong with them. The only thing I've heard is some people don't like the smell of their products because I think they're more plant-based. I don't think they smell bad by any means, but if you're used to more floral scents (like Herbal Essences and stuff), you might not be used to them.

Good luck!

YAYAYAY FOR A NEW MACBOOK, THAT'S AWESOME!

And i hope you'll find a job soon. Ooh, haircut, yayay!

I saw a new preview for The Vampire Diaries, and I swear that show's going to be like the teen version of True Blood. We're all going to hate Stefan and Elena and only watch for Ian Somerhalder/Damon, rofl. JUST LIKE ERIC!!
LOLOLOL. I kinda want there to be slash. That would get me to watch.. Mm. But then it'd be incest.. Like SPN (which is so not the reason I watch SPN.) What is it with those CW shows, huh?
LOL IDEK WHAT I'M SAYING.
