am big spinning dork

i have been severely depressed all day today. unable to work, i decided to make my first hooping video even though i wasn't warmed up and i'm not good enough yet to be making videos to put on youtube, etc. but i thought that playing around in imovie a bit would get me in a better mood and make me better able to deal with working. and it did do that, sort of. now i'm in a good enough mood to work but instead i'm putzing around on youtube and posting on this here blog and so on. but here is my first attempt at embedding a youtube video into my blog: (IMPORTANT: turn the volume way down on this thing before playing it... i somehow created it with the volume cranked too high.)



we'll see how that works. ignore the girl in the movie, she had just woken up and was on an 8 day migraine marathon to boot. you may say this is edited so we can't see how bad she really is, but honestly most of what i cut out was me pulling my pants up as they were constantly trying to fall off.

i haven't left the house all day. and according to my new timer i have done exactly one half hour's worth of work-work so far today. so i really need to get back to that. it's just that there's so much fun to be had on this here internet... especially with the different services integrating with one another and so on. it's really hard to not be here. i am capable of focusing on work but the moment i get an email i am distracted and i forget to go back to my worky task. i'm going back to it now though. because i am using a wacom intuos graphics tablet courtesy of my generous folks, and it is FUN. it makes photo retouching faster and easier and fun fun funner. the only reason it's not THE most fun thing is that it does not help me get noticed by my friends and peers. which these other things do. but everyone has to pull away and do worky things for at least a few hours a day and i need to join the ranks of those working folk. and so i am off.
