Winner!

For years now, I’ve recommended (and even purchased) BSPlayer. Well, I have a new player now. The screencaps here are from a .wmv, and they are excellent. There are tons of options I get to play around with, and best of all, it’s free! The reason I loved BSPlayer for so long was that it was originally free and offered the ability to make caps. Now, there is adware bundled with the player, so unless you purchase or download it some other way, you’re stuck with crap. The only thing I miss from BSPlayer is the ability to play multi-part .rar files. Hopefully, that function can be added to the next release.

Enough about that. The new player I have is the KMPlayer and the caps are from Di’s Farscape vid, “What About…” Di’s vid looks amazing on any player, but this one makes it even better. Even if you don’t get the player, get the vid!

Oh, fun!

The past two days have seen me having quite a fun time.  I went to the ER Monday morning with what I knew was a kidney infection due to the fever and intense pain I had in my back.  Yup.  Sure was.  As the day progressed, my slightly sore throat turned into the worst I’ve ever had, so much so that I couldn’t eat and my fever returned.  My teeth ached so badly that chewing was out of the question, but it didn’t matter; I couldn’t even swallow saliva without agonizing pain.  Mom had enough of it and forced me to see yet another doctor last evening.  After a quick injection of steroids and penicillin, I woke up this morning in a pool of sweat with a HUGE smile on my face.  I was better!  Completely!  I’ve never thought such a turnaround could be possible, but it happened.  It could also be due to the homemade biscuits and gravy my mom made just for me.  :love:

Now, geekspeak.  Coldplay’s album is laughably bad.  Maybe it will grow on me, but it’s definitely not on the level of the last one.  Awww.  Too bad that 1) I don’t care for Lost anymore 2) I don’t vid anymore.  There are two songs I could make the most corny vids to.  One is actually titled “Lost” and would be a good Locke vid, no?  The next is “42” and has Hurley written ALL OVER IT.(“Those who are dead are not dead/They’re just living in my head.”) Bwa!  I have no doubt those vids will be made by others, and done well, of course.  I imagine there will be one of the “Lost” song for every character at some point.  It’ll be interesting to watch.

Multi-Nothing

Spring break is here and I am taking full advantage of it. How, you ask? By doing lots of nothing. Unlike the number for nothing, “0”, actual nothings add up to a little bit of something. Here’s a little of what I’ve done so far:

Several naps (SEVERAL)
Learned a little about Julius Caesar and Nero (Nephew of Caligula…explains a lot!)
Finished a few assignments
Actively delayed remaining assignments
Fought off a cold
Started a Torchwood vid
Experienced four vid program crashes
Experienced power outage while vidding
Given up on Torchwood vid
Watched Voyager as much as possible
Watched horrible Odysseus movie on Sci-Fi
Wanted to watch The 10th Kingdom again
Tried to keep dropping in on Cage and Scotti to a minimum
Spent quality time with Hobbit and Istar

The Last Two Weeks

Nice Heroes-like title, no?

After a great visit with , , and Jonas (who is just purrrrr-fect), I started to get into the holiday spirit…a little.

I’m finished decorating, which actually consisted of me throwing a few things around. Seriously, I spent about six minutes, total. More importantly, I’m in serious love with Robin Hood. It’s just one of those shows that gets into my soul and I can’t explain why. I know Ben hates it, but I don’t care. I love him, and he loves me, dammit. I love it so much, I made a vid this weekend. It’s a Robin Hood vid with a really beautiful song by Jimmy Eat World. It’s an angsty little thing, and it’s more of an introductory vid, but for those who don’t want any spoilers for Series 2, it’s off limits.

I have a long week ahead including a 12 hour work day Tuesday, a field trip across three states Wednesday, and possibly a trip to the vet on Friday (Istar is having a few asthma attacks again), so if I’m not around, that’s why.
