Feb. 14 - Saturday

It's been a very productive day today:

Audio Wise:
Starting at 8:00 and ending at 4:00 this afternoon, (took a LONG well deserved break) then came back at it at 9:30 and went until 11:30. I worked on Moonfleet. I was able to finish Episode 7, Act 2 and get it posted up on the server for Jerry to review. I also cut all the lines for Episode 8, Act 1 and 2. I laid it all out to place in the sfx. I have them relatively laid out. That I did until 4 PM. This evening, though, I went back in and sat here and put in the sfx for more background, etc., and have been most effective in getting the first 4 pages done. I'm in the middle of Act 1, but I'm worried about a part that Jerry may not want within the show. A character sounds way off microphone and sounds a bit odd, so, I already emailed him.

Creative Wise:
In the time that I was away from the computer, I worked on some arts and crafts while I watched some CSI that I had recorded on the TV. I was able to get a good amount of that stuff done as well. I'm hoping that eventually, I'll be able to get that finished so that I can mail it off soon. As soon as it's done, I'll be mailing them out to the appropriate people. I just hope that they like them.

And now... it's time for bed. YAY! I got enough done today.

Tomorrow will be some house cleaning, laundry and other house duties that need to be done and then I'll be going back to work on Moonfleet again. Perhaps, I'll be able to finish up with Act 1 tomorrow and then begin working on Act 2. I'm hoping that I won't have to wait on lines to be redone. If I do, I'll just go ahead and work on it and then come back and punch in the lines. I guess that it'll be easier that way anyway. Who knows.

Feb. 9 - Monday

I'm not sure exactly why it is, but why do we all dread to go to work? Is it just the commute or is it something more? Is it the same routine over and over? It may be the mixture of both. My day isn't so scheduled anymore. I have various teachers to teach with and also have a ton or kids throughout the day. So - I shouldn't really be so upset about coming to work. Who knows. Perhaps it's just the want to be back in bed. I think that's the big thing here.

I found out over the weekend that I'll be able to go to the convention after all. We sold one of the tickets and that paid for the airfare to get there. So, now, it's just getting the place to stay. Here's to hoping that either Margaret or Julie will be able to be my roommate while there and have a blast. I can't wait!!

Moonfleet is moving along. I'm on Ep 7 and I'm having issues with programs not being compatible with Jerry's Sony Forge program. Here's to hoping that it will work. I saved it through Sony so here's to hoping that it'll work out. I'll call and let Jerry know what I've done. Perhaps, he can open it now. We'll see.

It's raining today. It's supposed to rain all day -- all day. I guess that has something to do with my mood. I'm just so ready to crawl back into bed. Sitting here at the desk just listening to the movie about "The Bear" it only makes me want to lay down my head and just go to sleep. I need more sleep.

In one of my English classes today, we talked about Auschwitz. They were a bit surprised about it. It was amazing how they just sat there with mouths open, surprised at what I was saying and reading to them. It's positively horrific what the Germans/Hitler did. The whole thing... blah. 4 million people died at Auschwitz. The only good that I can see that came out of this was that the scientists learned about the human body. Just sad that we had to learn about it that way.

I set up the Colonial Raiod Theatre Audio Producation Group just for the post producers and Jerry. He asked me to set one up and I was able to get it done during lunch. Thankfully. I'll be able to send Jerry what Bill Young got done with Father Brown as well. I saw that he wanted / needed a few sfx and I'll work on getting those to him as well. I'll also send an email later tonight to Perry to see if he's interested in working with Colonial.

Oh... Update: It seems that Jerry can open the files now and that worked. Good. It means a little bit more work for me, but as long as he gets what he needs, I'm good. Anything to make him less stressed, is a good thing.

I'm downloading all of the sfx that I can find from Chris' server so that I can have them in case something else should happen with the server. I just want to make sure that everything is taken care of in the long run.
