The "I start grad school tomorrow" Plush-a-thon!

Greetings intewebs, its another lovely day to sew like a crazy person! YAAAAAAAAAAY!

So yeah the one-man-monster-machine is ready to plushify, I've got a commission or two on the block to finish and a bunch of partially or mostly sewn things to stuff. Should be a fun day of squishy goodness.

So I'm off to clear off my sewing desk, I'll be back with updates soon!

12:30 PM: Ok so I have 6 Turtlebugs and a Rhino all at the mostly finished stage. I just need to stuff them and Top stitch the  Turtlebug shells, I suppose its time to actually use my new sewing machine (dun dun dun)

I'm off to grab myself some lunch, and last min supplies to finish an Owl Commission for my pal Matt.

3:45 PM Done with stuffing the rhino, and been stuffing bugs. Got the last materials for making this owl too. Dinosaur Bandana has been on and rockin since lunch.






5:30 Half a dozen Turtlebugs stuffed. Ready to be shelled.  Setting up the sewing machine to work on those and the Owl after Dinner.

7:20 Finally got my sewing machine set up, also had to do some other stuff around the house... I can't help but think I won't have the time to do all of the sewing I wanted to do before I gotta crash since I can has my first day of grad school tomorrow morning.  Also I left this window open while I got a call from a friend, and now its almost 8... I fail so hard.

Final Cut "pro" is the bane of my existence

And now that I have my registration codes back for it, I'm reminded of that fact. See, I finally get FCP working again and its giving me this total Bullcrap claim that it doesn't recognize the framerate or file type of my video files from my Kodak Playsport. Which is freaking stupid, it shoots with a standard codec, in MOV, and I've ran 720p 60FPS videos on my FCp before.

So that's it, I'm done, I don't care anymore. I'm just exporting all my timeline data for projects I want to keep and putting Premier CS5 on my computer.

Screw you FCP, you won't be missed.

Lets give it up for the new year.

Hey all, Happy Freaking New Year! yeah, its 9 days late, I don't care.

So far I've kicked off my year with a Bang, and it hasn't slowed down. Been to the SD Zoo with the fam, got a ton of great pics that will soon transform into glorious Digital Illustrations along the lines of my Red and Giant Pandas. I've had an epic day at Disneyland with my pals Brandon, Chris and Grant(video of said day to follow).  My Dad found my final cut stuff, so I can FINALLY get back to work on a bunch of videos I had in the works. And perhaps its due time I started my Video Review series I've been meaning to get going.

Also while I'm here, I made a couple new VooDoods right before 2010 ended, I'm gonna do some more once I crank through a couple commissions I gotta finish.(I'll also add some new stuff to my etsy too.)

Oh, and I totally start Grad School in 8 days! Yaaaaaay! Its crazy how I still don't know much anything about what it's going to be like, but I'm Super Stoked nonetheless.

I'm not particularly looking forward to the whole "waking up @ 5:30 AM for work" thing tomorrow. but its my last full week there, what with starting grad school, so I can tough it out.

Anywho, that will do for this update.
