Sure, Chupperson; just let me know when you're comin'. ;)

Actually, although I won't deny that the not-too-wonderful climate and weather around here make for copious amounts of natural greenery, the view out of my window isn't quite as spectacular as that picture would have you believe. There are a lot of plants and trees, but it's no jungle. I took the picture in such a way that all you can see is plant lifebut there are other things out there. For example, in between the leafy plants up front and the brightly lit pine trees farther back (in the center of the photo) is the road that runs in front of my house. Can't see it, though, can you?

A place that I'd really like to take you is my church. I think you'd like it a lot. This morning I took some pictures of my car and my housesome of which I'll post in the near futureand I wished later that I had taken my camera with me to church. Today was a beautiful day, and it would have been a great time to snap a few shots. Oh well. Maybe next week will be just as nice.

Here's a picture of something that I got at church today (everybody got one):

Today is Easter Sunday (Happy Easter! :), and my church had four services. It's crazy how many people there were today . . . I kinda wonder what all the people who don't normally go to my church think of us? Our senior pastor, you see, was playing with fire and chopping wood with this really big axe during his sermon. It was pretty entertaining. Probably the craziest thing he's done so far is start up a chain saw in front of everyone. Heh, I love that guy. (He's not the only there who does crazy stuff, though.)

I'm sorry, Lizard. PHNOWM IFE. My priorities are really messed up, I freely admit. And I wish they weren't. Getting them straightened out is very hard for me . . .

And ya know what the especially dumb thing is? I really wanna watch those movies of yours that I haven't downloaded yet! It'd be my just deserts if you took them off before I download 'em (I'm not recommending that you do, however).

I just watched the movies, and I like what I saw. More comments will (hopefully) come later in the appropriate topic, but I'll just say for now that I don't know if my movie-making software (iMovie) is even capable of fast- and slow-motion. Nice job!

Windows Movie Maker beats iMovie? *scratches head*

Remember kiddies, we want seconds of dessert, but not of deserts.

That cracks me up! Did you know that desserts backwards is stressed?

What version of Windows Movie Maker you have, LD?

My brain does stupid things when Iâ€˜m not looking.

Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp2.030422-1633: Service Pack 1)

Looks like I was wrong about iMovieit can do both fast- and slow-motion. True to my past experience with that program, I had been trying to make those features more difficult to execute than they actually are. There are times when I can't help but think that iMovie is a little too intuitive. But that's good, anyway, I guess.

The page in iMovie Help that told me how to do the above things also let me know that playing clips backwards is possible. That means I could get a nice Force effect going with the pillow toss in my first Meet Watoad movie . . .

I have version 3 of iMovie, but version 4 is significantly improved and can do a lot more.

As for the other thing, here's a nice, big scan:

Cool, didn't know that.

Of course, my reminder wasn't refering to your post at all - it was just a public service announcement.

Yeah.
