Today has been wasted. Completely. I got an extra week for my youth group video at the cost of pushing the series back a week. I swore to myself I'd work on it a ton today because I had nothing else to do.

Well. I did nothing except fret over my 360 and keyboard.

Firstly, the 360 seems to be having some issues. It won't read the game discs. Sometimes it ignores them. Sometimes it tells me that they're unreadable. Sometimes it treats them like a DVD. (The real irony with that one is that when it happens I just get the message "To play this disk, place it in an X box 360 console." in about 8 different languages.) The most infuriating thing is when it actually works. I think it must be a software problem to be so inconsistent.

As for the keyboard...just read this.

wiseguysupreme4: I got a little obsessed with the crap in my keyboard today.
emisize: ..?
wiseguysupreme4: And I was prying off the keys one section at a time to get most of the dirt and hair and such out.
wiseguysupreme4: But when I got to the main section, I found out something important.
wiseguysupreme4: Some of the keys have metal braces that DO come off peacefully, but it's really hard getting them back on.
wiseguysupreme4: So. Never take out your shift key.
emisize: hahaha, okay.
wiseguysupreme4: And definitely NOT the spacebar.
emisize: okay

I had something else to say, but all of a sudden I have things to do.

OH, ALSO, go to pandora.com. It will rule your world for eternity. Thank you, come again.

I just love to complain. Gotta do something about that.

Well, looky-there, I forgot a title.

SUNDAY: Freaking out because John and I have a video to film/edit by Friday, because I thought I had been assigned a crummy group for Appalachia this summer (it's not crummy, on second thought,) because I had 11 nasty Lit Logs due Tuseday, and because I had some nasty Math homework for a quiz grade and more for Tuesday for a Project grade.

MONDAY: Freaking out because I didn't do any of that except the math homework and 8 lit logs, and because we wanted to finish the school art magazine on Monday (we came really close!)

TUESDAY: Freaking out because we'd only recorded one scene, the Math project wasn't quite done, (we finished it,) because I had to finish those lit logs, because there was a small crisis when we packaged our final draft of the magazine, and some just for good measure.

WEDNESDAY: Freaking out because Thursday and Friday would be Practice Exam days for Math, (they count as tests in the class, though,) because we still only had 4 out of 5 scenes and no editing, because apparently our layout wouldn't print well because the bars didn't have enough bleed and because the page numbers would get cut off (thanks for the heads-up, Mr. Printer Guy), because I really didn't want to spend my little time at a Poetry reading that I hadn't even volunteered to attend, much less read at, and because I would be performing a skit in English Thursday with a group even though I basically had no idea what I was supposed to be doing.

THURSDAY: Freaking out because the first part of the math exam was hard as crap, and because:

-Movie Maker at my house didn't work.
-Audacity at John's house had some issues (he fixed them).
-Movie Maker at his house didn't work, either.
-The codecs that John uninstalled to speed up his computer happened to be the ones that made my film clips readable. (We had to re-install them)
-Movie Maker still didn't work.
-iMovie is only for Macs. Should have known that, but I got my hopes up.
-WAX movie editor, which is free-ware, can apparently only read .avi files. (I went home to convert all the clips)
-I can't convert to .avi.
-The converter John finds on the internet takes its sweet time and also 99% of the CPU power.
-WAX video editor is extremely confusing at first glance.
-It was 10:30 at night.

(Once we made the decision to stick with Movie Maker, even if it crashed constantly, it stopped crashing. -explode- Basically, half the night was wasted.)


FRIDAY: Freaking out because the teacher had some notion that the main idea of our video had been to translate all the speech into NewSpeak (heck, no), because the second part of the Math Exam was even harder than the first, because I made below a 90 on a physics test, which basically means the world is ending, because Mom nearly broke her ankle, and because X-Men Origins: Wolverine was a huge let-down.

Tonight is Prom night, and I'm only a little excited. :P I might freak out, just for old time's sake.
