How I came to be wearing that on my wrist.

It’s coming along well and will be quite cute, I must say.  The rough copy is done, music is picked out (new music is in order for this one), I got on top of the outrageous amount of footage I have, it’s going to be a longer-than-normal episode, and, for the first time ever I had a… cameraman.  

Editing moving footage is weird for me.  Also odd was the fact that nobody on the ship has ever seen an episode, so when I said, “no no, I just set the camera up there like that, it’s okay” it musta been weird for them… “doesn’t she know it’s crooked?  That the perspective is off?  If she’s just standing there not moving this is gonna be dull, no?”. Ha.  

But for all my interviews, and for my epic episode ending, the camera is moving and fellas you did fantastic.  And dude, the way you filmed the ceremony is perfect; when I watched it last night I was pumped, especially when you zoomed in on the veteran gentleman.

Should be done in a bunch of days, I just want to make sure to give the ship the respect it deserves so I’m being extra-finicky.  I can do it though, I can put up a movie in the same day I shot the footage, I did on Sunday, click here. 

That’s from the cycling race.  My team wanted to see themselves in action, I wanted to see if I could do it, so I threw that together and up it went.  Of course it’s somewhat edited (I’m too meticulous not to) and I figure I just gotta find a happy balance between that and my usual, elaborate style.

Both taken during Sunday’s cycling race, and there’s an element on the left I need to copy. The race results are generated from that desk on the right which is in a mini-van, powered by that generator which is small and keeps the system going for 8+ hours.

There’s a classic disembodied-head shot, and on the right is an old photo of me I found when cleaning weeks back.  

Here’s my latest invention:

That’s ‘Little Me’, see me better here.  I was writing this email to the friend who gave it to me: 

“Found myself my final home today.  Better protection from dust.  Correct fengsui.  Wondering if gas mask should be worn as a necklace”

when it hit me, “no not a necklace, this could make an excellent bracelet” and yup, it did.
