Today is my beloved Father’s 59th Birthday! I called him at 7am his time to sing, a horrible little rendition of, the birthday song, and wished him a happy one! He’s planning to spend the day with the youngest - Elliot - and our cousin Adrien who’s visiting from France. This year I made him a video. Gathered a mass of photos, mostly form the last 5 years. Gathered what little video footage I have of him - from Xmas and New Years Eve 07. Then I had to find some music to go with it, and I found this really cool spoken word version of Jabberwocky on Opsound.org and I just HAD to use it. It took a little editing to get it right, but in the end I am very happy with what I came up with. I think he’ll like it. I am in the process of uploading it now.

I had another video to upload today - to the TubeAddictsReloaded Channel. I post there every other Thursday. this last week there was a attempted hostage takeover and one of the TAR’s got KidNapped! It was crazy mad stressful, so my video this week is a dream. No, really. A dream. See, it started out that I wanted to do a “Clip Show” just finding random clips on my RTSD external hard drive. (Rose the storage device.) So I found some things, just by going back through all my folders, and picking out what looked cool. I mished it all together, adding some relaxing music and you get a very dreamy video. I guess I think we all need a nap, after the stressful week we had, so that’s what my mind gave you. I’m waiting for that video to process.

Today, TS Fay is hitting Florida. She’s not really hitting MY part of Florida - like I wanted her to, so I could have the day off, but never the less, she IS here. Someplace. Today’s Tune is Rainy Day Women No. 12 and 35 by Bob Dylan.

I don’t have a mp3 of this song, not yet, I have to do something to my iTunes file when I get home form work.

They’ll stone ya and then they’ll say, “good luck.”
Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.

I should so be in bed. I’m waiting for a video to render, so that I can upload it. I am up WAY past my bed time but I am determined to get this video up today. I think it may actually post after it’s Friday even on YouTube time I’m up so late! To keep my self entertained, I’ve been 12 seconds videos. Basically it’s a direct upload, with just talking, with each video 12 seconds long. No more, no less. Not editing, and so far, no music. I am playing with my webcam max to create effects. I’ve done 5 this morning. I like this format too. Short, sweet. And every little 12 seconds a change to do something different. Oh hurray, the video is now 94% rendered.

I had wanted to find something food or Pie (mmm Keylime) related, but couldn’t think of anything good. It wasn’t until after I uploaded this song that I remembered. DUH. Weird Al. Oh well. This song isn’t actually her originally. It’s a cover of a Little John Willie track. She added her own uncopyrighted lyrics - “Romeo loved Juliet,” “Captain Smith and Pocahontas”. I’ve never heard the original, and in fact didn’t even know this WAS a cover till I did some research on it. Anyway, hope you enjoy today’s tune!

No video today, it’s all just too much. Oh, who am I kidding. I’m gonna go look for something good.
Ooooh. Boy Howdy, Did I find something good! It’s an instrumental version, with a choreographed Dance! Wicked. The Dancer’s name is Ramon Flowers and he was

This week has flown by. Seriously. I can’t believe that tomorrow is Friday.   I only worked two days this week so far. I had Tuesday off, and today off - not enough work to do. I will be working tomorrow though, and then on Saturday I’m going to the 4 hr training course for the elections. I am going to be an assistant clerk on election day.  I will find out if I get a book or a laptop. I hope it’s a laptop.

Husband has been reading me a book in the evenings, Eye of the World, by Robert Jordan.  It’s been lovely. I like the book, and the story line, and having him read it to me has been really sweet.  It takes SO long to read the book though. Like weeks and weeks. I am not sure we’ll keep it up in the second, third and so on and so on. There are like 11 books in this series already.  I read faster than husband does, even when he’s NOT Reading aloud.  I want to get through the stories faster.

I’m tired. I haven’t been getting enough sleep. I want to go to bed now

Sunday, husband and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary. We cooked a loverly feast and spent the day enjoying each other’s company. (video 1, & video 2) I dedicate today’s song to him. It’s “You’re My Best Friend” - by Queen. The video attached is actually Queen. I couldn’t bring myself to post a cover version. I love Queen - Freddy Mercury was a God taken from us a long before his time!

I didn’t have to work on Friday. Which was nice because I wasn’t feeling well from giving blood on Thursday. I got some errands done during the day, but I guess I didn’t eat enough over the day cause by Friday night I was NOT feeling well. Headache and dizzy. But a good nights sleep Friday night did wonders. Saturday husband I did some errands - such as taking things to mail at the post office, and grocery shopping. I of course spent some time editing a video, and preparing for the Luka Show. I did sort of a new/old Love theme. Since today’s is our 7th wedding anniversary. At the grocery store yesterday we got the fixings for today’s meal too. Smoked Lamb, roasted rosemay potatoes and garlic chared green beans. Everything was delicious! We invited 2 of the neighbor boys to share our food, and all the taters and veggies got eaten. I recorded a lot of the prepeartions of the meal, so I am going to make a video about it. Today husband and I are spending time together reading a book, and just enjoying each others company. I wish that I had three day weekends every weekend!

I hadn’t given blood since October 12th.  (Saving Lives Is Easy.) I was driving home and when I turned onto my street I saw the blood mobile in the parking lot of the big residence hall thingy on the main corner. I pulled in, got out and went in.  I was actually the very last person that they saw.  My iron level was at 14, I think you need at least 12 so I was good to go. My BP was 110/72 - and that’s “desirable”.  My pulse is at 84bps, which is kinda high, but I do always get nervous right before giving blood, thinking about the needle and all.  In three days I can call and get my cholesterol levels. Only way I can get my levels checked, with the whole no insurance thing.  I didn’t really care for the staff there, but you get what you get when you go to rolling blood bank. I think next time I’ll try and go to the blood bank where I know the people.  I made a joke about them having saved the best for last, and one the dudes shot back with “whatever helps you sleep at night.”  WTF?! Anyway.  I looked away as Michael stuck the needle in, I have to look away or I get freaked out.  After a while it started to hurt, and dang it all if it’s not hurting again right now. I’ve felt kinda icky since I got home and I was really glad I only had to drive like 100ft to get home.  They kinda shoved me out the door like 3 minutes after I was done. Everyone else they made sit there for like 10 minutes before they could go.  Oh well.  I still feel pretty icky although the soda my husband nearly shoved down my throat has really helped.  I’m also trying to drink lots of water too - I do NOT want to feel crappy tomorrow. Today was the best I’d felt all week - what with the back pain then the damn pink eye. (It wasn’t an infection pink eye though, just a bad reaction to something.  Environmental conjunctivitis.  With my luck, I will feel great, get up and be ready to get to work on TIME and then not have to go in. Let’s hope
