Long Overdue Rough Draft at 1:34 AM

Well, I've finally gotten my hands on a new desktop that can handle the kind of video editing I want to do, and that means it's time to go poring through many hours of footage that needs to be cataloged, edited, compiled, and produced. Just for fun, I went through the footage from the Nashville trip the guys and I took a couple of years ago that I said I was going to edit, and I threw this together. I forgot to add transitions, so it's a bit rough, but it's a jumping off point. Oh, and you can watch in HD, which is also cool.

(Side note - guys, I'll send you each a copy of the DVD I'll make from this once I get it all put together and trimmed up.)

Getting Ready to Go at 10:15 PM

Well, I'm all packed up and ready to roll out to Delaware for the funeral on Saturday. Now it's just a matter of getting things completely in order at work before I go. This wouldn't be as difficult as it's going to be if I hadn't had such a useless day yesterday. I had no desire to do anything at work or at home. Not the best timing, since I'm taking off for the weekend. I'll be flying out tomorrow afternoon and coming back Monday afternoon. And the best part? My mom had a bunch of miles on her US Airways account and got me a ticket for five bones. Thanks, Mom!

I don't have too much else to say tonight, though I'll acknowledge that I've been tagged by my good friend Amelia (the wife of Shoeless Joel, mind you). More on that either tomorrow (though between working, driving, flying and visiting, I don't know how much time I'll have to write) or Friday. But for now, I leave you with videos (that won't play automatically when you load the page.)

1. The reason I love Joss Stone:


2. The reason that I wish heroin didn't ruin Stone Temple Pilots:


3. The reason it's good for songwriters to get their hearts broken (though he's married to Nicole Kidman now, and is probably over whatever caused this song):


4. The reason I'm excited for U2's new album and subsequent tour this year:


And I bid you goodnight.
