so i finally made a music video. the impetus was for adam as i had said i would make one after i came back from new york but i got so frustrated with windows movie destroyer that i left it. well adobe elemets 4 brought my interest back. here it is for those of you i didnt annoy with the link earlier. there are some rough spots but overall im happy with it as a first.
there might be three people that listen to what falls out of my mouth and then gauge their response based on my mouth trowel droplets. so then i make my mouth trowel and oh shit it is a chain reaction and at least cnn will cover it because its always good. my point? your audience is listening to you so dont say stupid shit to your audience because your audience knows you are pandering.
hi zaph!
so i found a great rss aggregator that allows me to untether myself from itunes and go back to foobars nice warm arms. i had been messing with juice, ipodder, bitscast, jpodder, and a few others and throwing up so rapidly that i always went screaming back to itunes when i felt a pull towards news and informational audio. well that shouldnt happen anymore as ziepod has a clean and simple UI that is snappy and functional that should imho supersede the shit that was audio rss aggregation in windows previously.
i also discovered the wonderful world of opml import/export. so if you have a list of feeds you always update on your audio player, export it to an opml file and email it to me. i want to pool everyone elses feeds into my own sift through and keep what i like and then have my own list start automatically exporting daily to my server so my feeds are accessible from my laptop or my computer lab. i might also publish it to the website so everyone can dl my list and laugh at me learn my abcs.
this serendipitous software find was lucky as i had finally had it with itunes as a music library as opposed to the stark and functional UI of foo not to mention the ability to traverse my music by filesystem or tags. i would just use itunes for rss aggreagation only but itunes destroys the ipod db that other software writes specifically foo_dop and winamp. no play nicey. i suppose maybe everything would “just work” if i was using itunes on a mac but that isnt my concern so ballz to that hypothetical.
here is the first pic i ever posted to flickr. the context? 8-bit show at emos that alicia convinced me would be redonkulous. it was. i seem to recall a tshirt being bought at that show…
well this week sucked the life out of me the way only a cuddly slew of totally objective and ruthlessly efficient virus marauders can. and while i would like to say i fully loathe being infected by beings from outer spaces of my being, i instead let rip the roaring gas vent of truth when i say such is not the case.
i noticed that my dreams were incredibly vibrant this time around in a way i did not notice the last time i was sick. i tend to have two bouts of infirm a year that are marked enough that i moan and burble and give myself the freedom to mucosify all of my belongings out of shear capitulation. i also noticed that my when my sense of smell was removed i preferred chamomile tea and honey. i was surprised by that because how would i know without a sense of smell besides recommendation from nut job herbalist books.
another effect i found interesting was how much simpler i found it to ignore things. i am not sure exactly how this one works. if my mind was not actually juiced up with enough atp due to the redistribution of resources then maybe it simply did not have the ability to take in my surroundings in detail and so ignore the lost pixels. but maybe its active defocusing of my senses. a blur tool to mute out the jagged edges in my perception. i like to think i have a blur tool in my filter set that i can smlrblfy people with when i can take no more.
im happy that im back to earth or rather the outer spaceites are now outerve my space. and i realized that i do in fact like the my morning jacket album Z. and i also realize that the album i erroneously thought was Z when it was first released was something totally different.
imagine hating peanut butter for 2 years but actually hating tapeworms, so when someone asks you do you like peanut butter you respond violently to the question with a lurch and a drubbing. well whoever got that drubbing i take it back i love this album.
