A Twist of Things to Come

I know you're going to have a lot of fun today! :) Add one traditional Angry Cat greeting to the pile of birthday wishes!

So... I figured out how to easily convert just the scenes I needed in order to edit them together with digital video, so the long-awaited poll winner's video should be up on GeekaChicas sometime next week. Whee!

(I really barely know what I'm doing, but as one of my favorite poems says, "I learn by going where I have to go." It may be craptacular, but I'll be like Gir. "I made it myself!")

Speaking of website stuff, I'm going to revert to the old version until they work the bugs out. I found out today that if I edited something someone else posted (as I sometimes do if there is a formatting problem or what have you) it changed their article attribution to me. *sigh* This is some shite up with which I will not put.

Really didn't spend much brainsweat on the site today. jedi_diplomat sent in a cool article on Ubuntu 9.04, which I unoriginally titled "Ubuntu 9.04", and Pearce (aka yourprecious) has started a Trek RPG.

I just want to say again how much these women ROCK, and how blessed I feel to get to show them off.

Took the boys clothes shopping. Big Boy's voice is changing, and he's getting some puberty on him. Wow. He needed a new swimsuit and some shorts because he's grown so much. He also got a shirt that said, "Awesome ends with me." He's been very, very helpful to me around the house, held doors for me and generally been an ideal son (except for torturing his little brother).

He asked me to stay in my room while he made me something for Mother's Day. I'm looking forward to seeing what it is.

I wrote more on my completely awesome re-write of the shapeshifter story. I say "completely awesome" because it has finally taken shape in my mind, effectively negating all the wibbling I've done about it to you all. I know just how it needs to go, or close enough that I can sweat the small stuff later.

It felt great to write like that-- it really flowed. When I finish the new opening bit, I think I will post it here for you guys to see. :)

Today I really did feel like I could do it all.
