I FOUND MY LAPTOP!!

No I didn't loose my laptop, I've just been busy with school-work.


Home schooled and proud of it (some times)

I home school, you see, I do the "ACE" (Accelerated Christian Education) program which is a little (ok, a lot) different to other programs. Each subject is broken up in 144 books for year 1 to year 12 with there being 12 books for each year level. Now instead of doing the standard amount of work from each subject a day, I'm doing a whole book. That's a months worth of work for one subjet PER DAY. So now you can see why I've been a bit slack with my blog.



Mp3 Player Woes

IT STILL HASN'T COME
I ordered it a week ago on Thursday and I'm still waiting. I rang the store up to see what the heck was going on and they said they haven't got it yet. Apparently they rang the manufacturer to get a dilivery date and they didn't ring them back. They where supposed to ring me yesterday but didn't. I'll save the swearing until they've had another week.



Youth Group

I've got my parishes youth group on tonight and I made the pavlova they requested of me.
Hey guys can cook too, and I make a damn good pav :)
Anyway, we're planning on doing Karaoke tonight so it will just be Fr. and I singing as no one else wants to do it execpt us. The others may sing one maybe two but it WILL just be Fr. and I singing most of the time.
I've memorized the number for Piano Man :D 8176 :P

A real treat

I've been a bit slack with this blog because I've been busy playing Halo CE. But, today I bring you a real treat. I went into TheForce.net's temporary chat room and impersonated the famed Ryan Wieber and Michel Scott. Here is a chat log, I'm both "Ryan W" and "DorkmanScott".

Ryan W: I'm banking for a shelf fight Ryan W: That will be new Teague: right here. Vapes: I'd like to see you guys on a staircase in RvD3. Teague: sup.

Vapes: hahaha DorkmanScott: Mine almost threw-up when we cut off my arm in RvD2 Teague: about to post, bob, sorry we've been mute for a while. Vapes: Dude, I almost threw up. Your scream cut to my heart, man. Ryan W: It was louder in real life Ryan W: Way louder Ryan W: Be glad you wern't there Vapes: Nightmares? DorkmanScott: Dude, I'm having nightmares NateCaauwe: I tried the whole sticking my head in a tortilla bag and whatnot, trust me, I'm already glad I wasn't there. Ryan W: The smell wasn't too bad, it's Mike's scream that did it bobaandy1 from x.x.x.158 joined the chat 114 minutes ago NateCaauwe: Mike's scream was in the tortilla bag I think. NateCaauwe: Tortillas sound a lot like him. DorkmanScott: In what way? NateCaauwe: You've never held a discussion with a tortilla? Just a similar voice Vapes: Ladies and gentlemen, Nate has left the building. DorkmanScott: I'm perfectly sane thank you NateCaauwe: I won't deny that, Vapes :P DorkmanScott: I don't talk to my take-out Vapes: lol DorkmanScott: What I do with my take-out is none if your business anyway Ryan W: You should see the way he eats Vapes: Go on. Ryan W: THATS what I'm having nightmares about DorkmanScott: STOP THERE Ryan W: Fine, fine NateCaauwe: Hey there's nothin' wrong with me just enjoying a night on the couch TALKING to my take-out NateCaauwe: Nice take-out enjoy that. Vapes: This is why we were talking about girlfriends and nights out, Nate. Ryan W: Well if you take-out a girl then I guess it would be ok to talk to your take-out Vapes: [rimshot] DorkmanScott: Stop making me think about food DorkmanScott: I'm trying to loose weight Vapes: Eh, well I'm a Michigander.

[kicks dirt] Ryan W: Well this is interesting DorkmanScott: Hey Ryan Ryan W: Yes? DorkmanScott: Should we tell them? Ryan W: Tell them what? DorkmanScott: ;) Ryan W: ?? Vapes: Okay, you're giving me time to form theories. Not good. DorkmanScott: [makes hacking gestures] Ryan W: Oh that Ryan W: No Ryan W: Not yet DorkmanScott: Why not? Ryan W: Cuz DorkmanScott: "Cuz" Why? Ryan W: Just cuz Ryan W: I don't think it's time yet DorkmanScott: Very well, [damn it] Vapes: Alright. Either you guys are working on RvD3, Ryan's coming out of the closet, or someone's doing something with a big knife. Vapes: That's about all I got. Ryan W: Great, good one Mike Ryan W: They've started guessing DorkmanScott: Sorry Ryan W: And now they're going to email me constantly DorkmanScott: Sorry Vapes: And a) It was inevitable b) Eh, prolly not c) i'll just wait for the news reports, so yeah. Ryan W: I'm going to smash my computer so I won't have to talk to them DorkmanScott: NOOOOooooo DorkmanScott: It's on your computer idiot Ryan W: Oh yea Ryan W: Oops DorkmanScott: And I just blew it, didn't I? Vapes: "They'll keep e-mailing. They'll keep e-mailing until it's released. I'll roto I'll roto I'll roto I'll roto" Vapes: Ryan = cameron from Ferris Bueller Ryan W: Yes Vapes: dunno why Ryan W: brb DorkmanScott: K Vapes: Are you guys still in the same apt.? DorkmanScott: Apt? Vapes: apartment Ryan W: He's been drinking again, back btw Ryan W: Na DorkmanScott: I said something nasty about Princess Leia and he packed-up and left Ryan W: ROTFL Vapes: Psh, so would I. Say what you want about the prequels, but man. Too far. DorkmanScott: And that I disaprove of Clone Wars Ryan W: HOW CAN YOU?! Ryan W: CGI Animation is awesome! NateCaauwe: I disapprove of Clone Wars too. Ryan W: I can't wait till LRvD is finished Ryan W: Well that's just me DorkmanScott: If some random stood infront of a camera turning a Lightsaber on and off he would be satisfide Ryan W: [WHACK] Vapes: I did like the look/action of Clone Wars. Vapes: The dialog left a lot to be desired. Teague: I know a couple of guys on clone wars. Teague: sorry, been lurking. Vapes: Fig's like the guy who knows everybody. How do you do that NateCaauwe: He's...not in Michigan? NateCaauwe: For starters anyway... Vapes: [sigh] NateCaauwe: It's okay, I'm not in LA at the moment either Vapes: I commute 3.5 hours each way three times a week to an unpaid internship, just to get my foot in the door, is all. It's frustrating. Teague: well, trust me, there's ass workng offage constantly for a long time. DorkmanScott: We're a bit busy right now (Damn it "We" ;) ) so we'll just check back every now and then if you want anthing Ryan W: We're....never mind Vapes: [snicker] Vapes: I'm not sure if I'd want to go to LA. NateCaauwe: Neither was I, but when I got there I changed my mind Vapes: Chicago'll be a good first step, I'll see where it leads. I should be moved by the new year. Ryan W: Mike's insisting he knows what's best so I'm back Teague: it's complicated. LA is, I meam. Ryan W: What's wrong with LA? NateCaauwe: Brandon was bugging me way back in January, but I pointed out that I hadn't even lived on my own...but then I just said screw it and quit my job and flew out the next day NateCaauwe: ...In July Ryan W: He bugged me and look what happned Vapes: See, no way could I do that. Teague: what's wrong with LA is circumstancial and takes a long time to show it's face when it happens. Teague: I didn't say wrong, I said complicated. Vapes: I feel like the competetion would nail me to a wall. I might've been impressive at Western Mich. U., but out there my editing skills would prolly be standard at best NateCaauwe: I DID have a job waiting for me though, so I admit I really lucked out Ryan W: WHO JUST EMAILED A ROTO REQUEST?! Ryan W: I'M GOING INSANE Vapes: lol wtf Vapes: Nate, do your own damn rotoing. NateCaauwe: Roto job or requesting to work on RvB2? Ryan W: I'm board, just breaking things up a little Ryan W: Lol NateCaauwe: Cuz if it's the former and you don't want it, I'll take it...I'm a roto whore :P NateCaauwe: hehe Vapes: Did you take a look at that video nate? Ryan W: I was just being random because we needed to change topic Vapes: I found you first. NateCaauwe: ah I have not yet, I'll check it out now NateCaauwe: You are a cruel man, Ryan. Vapes: w00t Ryan W: How was I being cruel? Ryan W: ?? Vapes: Nate thought there was roto work to be had. Vapes: Turns out, there wasn't. Vapes: You just tortured him. NateCaauwe: again.. //roto whore Ryan W: Heh lol Vapes: Nate, watch the video. Except for the little snippet in the beginning, that whole thing would prolly need some roto/sky replacement. Vapes: Pay no attention to the low quality. Ryan W: Which video are you on about? DorkmanScott: I made a spoiler thread :D Ryan W: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vapes: It's one of the fights from FKaD, Ryan Ryan W: ... Ryan W: You cruel person Mike Ryan W: He's lying guys DorkmanScott: Lol DorkmanScott: Away again :P Vapes: I actually checked. Good one. Ryan W: fkad? I'm having a heart attack here because of Mike so please refresh my memory NateCaauwe: Fun stuff Vapes...the shot that has me intrigued is replacing the reflection on the CU of the lightsaber hilt toward the end Ryan W: I'm lost sorry Vapes: You mean where it's on the ground? NateCaauwe: yeah, that kind of shot seems fun Ryan W: I shut up now Vapes: Do you think it's doable, the scene? NateCaauwe: Sorry Ryan, we're sitting here talking about a private video Vapes sent me on Vimeo...probably should be discussing this on AIM Vapes: I could show it to you, but it's rather unfinished Ryan W: Ah, I see DorkmanScott: Ryan, Blue or Green? Ryan W: We already talked about this Ryan W: Green DorkmanScott: Ok, gone again Ryan W: Damn you Mike Ryan W: They've gone to tell everyone now Ryan W: But Mike's not here Ryan W: I'll kill him later Vapes: It's okay. I like green m&m's better too. Ryan W: Is anyone here? Vapes: Cuz that's what I'll safely assume you're talkinga bout. Ryan W: It's probably best of you continue thinking that Vapes Ryan W: ;) Ryan W: Sooo, Vapes Ryan W: Sup? Vapes: A lot, actually. NateCaauwe: I so stole him from the chat room NateCaauwe: oh, sure! NateCaauwe: make me look bad NateCaauwe: Now I'm a freakin' lyer Vapes: Been working 7 days a week, 4 at a bar, 3 as an intern for a media group in Chicago Vapes: Just got a functioning HD camera, so I'm finally capturing what I've shot of FKaD. Ryan W: What are you on about Nate? Vapes: Living in a house w/ my g/f, a roommate and three dogs. Vapes: And yeah. Life in a nutshell. Vapes: sup with you? Ryan W: Nice try ;) Vapes: Damn. Vapes: It was worth a shot. Ryan W: Heh Ryan W: Can I be mean to you guys for just one second? NateCaauwe: why not? Vapes: Sure, why not Vapes: lol NateCaauwe: whoa Ryan W: Hehe Ryan W: One sec, while Mike's not here ;) Teague: uh huh. Vapes: I'm bracing myself for the ultimate insult. Dorkman from x.x.x.23 joined the chat 58 minutes ago Ryan W: It's coming, youtube is really slow today Dorkman: Hi. I haven't been in here at all up until now. Dorkman: But I'm told someone pretending to be me has. Dorkman: And that he was apparently doing a poor impression. Vapes: Actually, you seem less literate than Dorkman. Vapes: Faker. Vapes: [runs] NateCaauwe: Yeah I'm not sure I'm convinced. Vapes: Wasn't there a thing like this on IRC once, not sure if any of you were there Vapes: people kept switching names. Teague: that's dorkman. Dorkman: Oh, come on. He didn't even use punctuation at the end of his sentences, and he capitalized words mid-sentence. Ryan W: Damn it, youtube won't load Dorkman: I'm disappointed you guys were fooled. Vapes: Well, he did spell "disaprove" wrong. Teague: ... NateCaauwe: Yeah I did notice that. Vapes: I dunno. Let's just kill 'em both. NateCaauwe: I'm down with that. NateCaauwe: Only way to be safe. Ryan W: *Sigh* RDvsTFN? Vapes: No no. You're on our side. Dorkman: I'll kick both your asses with a saber. THAT'S how you'll know. Dorkman: Also, quiet you. You're not Ryan. Vapes: Well, not if I choreograph myself as the winner. Dorkman: He'd have used an underscore in his name, for one thing. Ryan W: My whole name is underscored, and you can't do that in here Ryan W: You still haven't proven that you are the real Mike Dorkman: That's called "underlining." Vapes: Hey, Hurricane Ike has made landfall. Ryan W: We need a chat tied into the TFN forums Dorkman: No, I haven't, but that's okay. If you were the real Ryan, you would know. Dorkman: Anyway, I wasn't planning on jumping in here at all, but Fig asked me "what the hell is up" with the way "I've" been chatting tonight, and there's your answer, fishbulb. Dorkman: I've got a movie to watch. Ryan W: Underscored/Underlining, depends on what school you went to Ryan W: Backing out eh? Ryan W: See you! DorkmanScott: What's going on? DorkmanScott: I knew this would happen sooner or later NateCaauwe: I'm now questioning the true identity of everyone in there. NateCaauwe: Even me. Ryan W: Your identity has been called into question NateCaauwe: in here** Teague: the guy that just came in is dorkman. neither the other dorkman, or ryan, are on the level. now let's move on. DorkmanScott: Great, one guy comes in and now we all no longer trust eachother Ryan W: But who's to say you are the real Teague, Teague? Teague: later nate, vapes. NateCaauwe: Hey, maybe I'm a little racist. I don't trust green guys. NateCaauwe: later Fig Ryan W: For all we know, we're two guys sitting opposite eachother in an internet cafe pranking eachother Ryan W: With multiple chats Ryan W: Can this even do that? Ryan W: What about red guys Nate? Ryan W: Has everyone gone? NateCaauwe: I can't confirm nor deny that you're Republicans Ryan W: ROTFL Ryan W: ... NateCow from x.x.x.115 joined the chat 45 minutes ago NateCow: Multiple browsers will do the trick. Ryan W: Great, another copy Ryan W: I see NateCaauwe: I trust black guys. NateCaauwe: I'm voting for one for president. Ryan W: I hate politics NateCaauwe: Fair enough. NateCow: Vapes...SHOW YOURSELF! Vapes: hi. NateCaauwe: whoa Vapes: I'm editing. Ryan W: Lol NateCow: I so summoned him like a mythical creature. Ryan W: Editing what? Ryan W: Vapes and NateCow are the same person I believe Vapes: [sigh] Vapes: I really, really could care less than to make multiple identities in this room. Vapes: Besides, I always put a space after an elipse. The other way is just sloppy. Ryan W: I'm going paranoid now NateCow: Hey, I'm a sloppy guy, big woop, wanna fight about it? Ryan W: No Ryan W: I'm mature Ryan W: I only fight AFTER drinking, not before NateCaauwe: Says the guy who is famous on the internet for making lightsaber duels. Ryan W: Ok, that was random Ryan W: There is a difference between fighting and dueling Vapes: Yeah. That didn't really work. NateCaauwe: ah touché Ryan W: *sigh* Vapes: If it helps Ryan, I've been trying to think of you as "that guy who does effects for heroes and other shows", rather than "that lightsaber guy" Ryan W: That does help yes Ryan W: Thank you Ryan W: Speaking of Lightsabers, Vapes: Whenever heroes comes up in conversation, i get to do a namedrop Vapes: it's kinda fun Ryan W: Has anyone done a black lightsaber before? NateCaauwe: My friends always want me to Ryan W: It would be interesting Ryan W: But it would look weird, with a white core and all NateCaauwe: What kind of approach are you talking about? NateCaauwe: ah Ryan W: I can't get past what it should look like Ryan W: Maybe I should just do a proof of concept Ryan W: It would be possible, just weird Vapes: It doesn't make any sense. Ryan W: So? Vapes: Someone talked about doing it like a black hole, so it's sucking light in rather than emitting it. Ryan W: It would be a first Vapes: Done successfully, yeah. Vapes: There's been plenty of pics with a black outer glow applied, and it's never really appealling. NateCaauwe: I'm pulling up an AvN shot to play with right now Vapes: I'd prolly want to do it w/ particles or something, get an inward flow to replace the flicker maybe Ryan W: I'm gonna have a fiddle with a clip as well, brb

Day 1

To has been an eventful day, and a decent amount of humor as well.


*Sigh* That's show biz, I guess

Let's start with my producer, so he rocks up wanting to do some editing on the DVD I'm shooting for him. He's paying someone else to edit it for them but it seems I'm doing most of the work, I asked him what he's paying them for and he said he doesn't know. So we spent about an hour cutting it for them, which I'm still confused as to what they'll actually be doing.


HD-SD

So now he (producer) tells me we are supposed to be using SD instead of HD. Now let's look at the differences. HD is three times the file size of HD and half our 1TB hard drive is full of it. HD tapes cost about $40 per tape while you can get a pack of five SD tapes for $28 and you can only get HD tapes online but you can get them in town here. And the part he's really annoyed about is that he bought a Mac Pro to edit HD and we could have used my laptop for SD



Mp3 player woes

I went to "The Good Guys" chain store to get an mp3 player which was $80 but I got them down to $72, but they have to order a new one in. So I place an order and when I got home I found they has ordered the 2 GB model when I asked an paid for the 4 GB model. So I phone them and tell them how much they screwed up, I've never heard someone more composed when I've been yelling at them :P, and they fixed it up for me (eventually). The manager rung me back and said it had been corrected, he's sorry, they made a typo, he's sorry, the 4 GB is on it's way, he's sorry.



Halo: Combat evolved

FINALLY! I love this game! I ordered it online a few days ago and it came today, really good people to deal with. Their website is www.game.com.au for those is Australia, these guys have the lowest prices and fast delivery. Anyway, I played the first level and it was cool! Just like a movie! (I'll make one some day) I was doing the tutorial and was halfway through, as in only just figured out how to move, when aliens (the covernat) boarded the ship. So they throw you into the situation like in a real movie and expect you to survive. I did BTW. I'm amazed at all the references to "Marathon" in the game.

Justin Letchford's Blog

Well, I got bored of blogging on Bebo and other "Social" networks, where no one actually socializes. They just invite eachother to cruddy little games and pointless causes.

Anyway, I plan to entertain you with my awesome life and tell you about how incredibly cool I am. Lets just face it, I am cool, my mum said so.


















See? I have a sense of humor.
