Paj!

JUST BOOKED TICKETS TO SEE GRANT MORRISON AT THE EDINBURGH BOOK FESTIVAL IT'S BEEN SO LONG I'VE WANTED TO SEE HIM HE IS MY ALL HE IS EVERYTHING Fuck. My mum came in to say 'Oh there's someone who wrote for Marvel at the book festival...G something, M something' and I screamed. But it was some random even I've never heard of. Then I thought.."Wait, I wonder if Grant Morrison is doing anything for the festival...". Lo and behold. For people who don't know, he's one of the most important writers of the comic medium of the last 20+ years (one of the best too, but that's my opinion/the truth). And he was also the villain in My Chemical Romance's last videos.

The pencils on Action Comics look gorgeous. It's funny how much pencils actually differ to the final inked product...or rather, I'll be interested to see. I bet it won't look as technically nice. Hm.

It's part of my natural evolution. My blocks having been removed, I can feel it, it's coming. Prepare.

48 hours and after that it should be closed. I.e anytime after the 48 hour deadline is closing time. I just didn't get around to it. Soz baggie.

Daft is my fashion/androgynous in the right light/voice icon. He also reminds me of my uncle for some reason. Shorts in rain is my favourite thing to do.

What do you mean by this? (Bear in mind that while I can *use* Final Cut, I'm a n00b really when it comes to the purely technical stuff/numbers/terminology) EDIT: Oh, i got the aftereffects trial - I'll look up how to scale stuff in that. If I fail I'll come back for more help. :P Thanks btw. EDIT II: No I have no idea what I'm doing.

THE THIRD DAY IS OVER LET THE THIRD NIGHT BEGIN Please send in your PM's ASAP - even to say you aren't going to do anything.

I failed and immediately went to Uni, not driving from mid-Seotember 2010 until mid July 2011. I'm just getting back into the swing of things with my dad, then doing some proper lessons next week. Not booked my test yet. Might do an intensive thing, we're gonna consult my new instructor.

Yeah, I don't get awkward turtle. It's like "...what...why..? I. No words." I don't know how to express my feelings about it, or why it annoys me and feels wrong. It feels like people WANT to do it. Or something. I can't comprehend.

At least the grapics used are now as tacky and common as the show itself.

Yeah, some footage is 1920x1080, some is 1280x720. Thing is, So should I be scaling the 1920x1080 stuff down then? I'm not actually sure how to do that *properly* but will endeavour now. Thanks.

Who are you talking to?

Tackled the getting on/off the A1 for the first time since I failed my driving test almost a year ago. It was scary since I hate the idea of not being able to stop, but then so easy when you're on it. And I did it repeatedly Until We Felt Red, so it was gr8. Drove for hours...like 10.30 till 5pm or something. Lunch break in between obvs.

Thanks babe.

Well Season 1 and 2 are in the household, my mum's watching them all now, and I watched first episode I think. Might sneak them back to uni with me.

Get out of my life you freak bitches.

Neela Rasgotra was my fave, despite the fact she always seemed vaguely depressed. I remember the Season...12 (I think) finale was the first TV season finale I was screaming/spinning in my seat/gasping. And I remember phoning chair to discuss it. Or talking on MSN or something.

Banter is awful. Crimbo is worse, whoever mentioned that the page back. In a single word, the happy atmosphere is completely erased and visions of gurning old smelly men from a generic part of England* are brought to mind. *because I'm Scottish with no concept of English geography.

I am now the proud owner of Grant Morrison's entire New X-Men run (in trades). Combined with the Astonishing X-Men full run (in trades) I have, I possess the most definitive/stunning X-Men stores/stories in general of the last decade. Chairdriver has however stolen my Astonishing X-Men and seemingly lost it. *fake smile* I can't wait to reread it all again.

I don't know if anyone here even uses Final Cut Express but yeah... I'm editing a film, and am working with several different sequences. I.e one has one camera's footage, another has the other camera, and then one called 'Rough Work' where I am roughly working out the edit itself. I started the project the other day and created the sequences for the camera footage just by choosing new-sequence- as you do, and plonking the footage in there, with the footage being ok as the setting for these sequences had a frame size of 1080 x 1920, fitting the footage itself. But today, whenever I make a sequence, the settings for the frame size are 720 x 576, and there seems to be no discernable way to SET the frame size in a sequence. I have no idea how to sort this or what's going on, but when I import the footage from a certain camera, it's oversized, and even if I manually scale it (with image and wireframe), it doesn't fit properly. I just want to know If one can actually make a sequence how one wants...seems like an obvious thing. The only customisable things in the settings for sequences seem to be codecs and stuff, which I admittedly am fairly clueless about. The sequences that are 1080x1920 and are perfect atm all seem to have Apple Intermediate Codec as their 'compressor', but changing the codecs so far hasn't done much and I just don't really get what's going on. Here's the item properties for the sequences that are OK: Here's the item properties for the sequences that are wrong and I dunno how to change/make like the OK ones... I have a feeling no one will be able to help.

It was always on in my household as my mum loved it, so I knew some of the characters, and I'd periodically watch batches of episodes at a time. Then when I was older I watched the last 3/4 or so seasons in full as they aired. Loved it. Not an amazing TV show by any means, but I liked the aesthetic and feel, and some of the characters. Not one I'd bother watching much of again though.

Esequiel (2) - Rummy, EEVILMURRAY Rummy (1) - Esequiel

Cyclops and Phoenix. Rogue and Gambit.

I think I'm gonna start. Maybe get a few back issues or something. Or even just *acquire* a whole load. I can never bring myself to buy the first trade in case I hate it. I might eBay the Unfinished Business arc (most recent one).

Went to the comic shop today - they didn't have X-Men Legacy! Filth. It's fine. I bought myself Batman Inc 7, Astonishing 39 and Ultimate X 5 (lol). I need to catch up to Batman Inc by other means though. Would have bought Ultimate Fallout 3 if they had 2 in stock. :/
