iMovie Mondays

On occasional Mondays (i.e., whenever I feel like it), I post movies. No YouTube here, my friends. Just glorious QuickTime! Edited in iMovie. Or AfterEffects if I need to do something tricky.

(Note: My video camera is behaving poorly so iMovie Mondays are on hold until I figure out what the deal is.)

(OK, truth be told, I think it's broken. Every time I put a tape in, it spits it back out. Bummer.)

(If you are from Canon and are reading this, please send me a new video camera. Oh, and I don't want to pay for it. I know it's out of warranty, but please, come on! Like I can afford to get it fixed or buy a new one.)

(There's nothing more to say here, I just like parentheses.)

(Got a new camera. It's lovely. Hopefully more movies shall flow.)

Hesitate and You Shall Feel My Wrath

I waited three minutes too long to head out to the grocery store and this is the result. The Drama Queen emerges from her secret lair to spread destruction (fuss at me) and wave her hands around. I should have known better than to hesitate even one second longer than necessary. That whole taking a moment to make a list and think? That was wrong of me. Obviously.

Direct link thing-y to the QuickTime file (plain old glorious MPEG-4, should play in Windows Media player, etc.) to the video in case the picture link-thing-y above doesn't work.

Specifically, it seems that Firefox on any platform is wonky, so FF users, please use the MPEG-4 link, until I can figure out what the deal is. Thanks! The vid is about 10 MB.

We Do Love Our Dairy Products

Our younger boy Jonah back when he was three. That little voice of his just KILLS me. So cute. Don't you just want to spread him on a piece of toast and have him for breakfast? You can use the extra butter.

I Need a Real Hobby

It's quite possible I'll live to regret doing this.

Now MY Ovaries Hurt

And I don't even have ovaries. That's how cute she was when she smiled those first few times.

Also, this was shot in May of 2003, thus proving that I was doing the Edna Mode voice like, waaaaay before that movie came out.

What you don't see on this clip is me singing "Girlfriend in a Coma" by The Smiths, trying to tease a smile out of her. Now, it's not that I'm embarrassed about my singing, which, trust me, is profoundly awful and I should be embarrassed about it, it's just that the I unwittingly bounce the camera in time to the "music" while singing and watching that would make you sick. Or maybe it's just my singing that makes people sick. Either way, I'm looking out for you, my friends.

Lucas Our Very Own Little Wicked Boy

Time was when it was easy to embarrass one's children. Like going to the elementary school play and giving a standing ovation when your very own little turnip makes his/her entrance. Or when they are in junior high, merely dropping them off in front of the school will do the trick. When they are in high school and you go to Geometry class with them to make sure they turn in their homework on time. Simpler times.

These days however, we have the power of the Intarweb and we, well I, at least, can embarrass my children potentially millions of times in a year. Like merely being their Dad wasn't enough.

That's Lucas from a couple years ago. Wasn't he just the C-U-T-E-S-T dang thing you've ever seen? As he's so getting into the groove. :-]

Yes, he will kill me for this. But it's worth it, don't you think?

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
