clogged with spam

Ill. The condition, not the state. Perhaps the state, but definitely not the state. My brain feels like it’s clogged with Spam and all I want to do is nap, but the cold/flu/mono/strep/meningitis is to the point that the bed is annoying and uncomfortable. At least when you’re sick you can snap at people who are bothersome (and feel quite guilty about it, no doubt), but my shouts do nothing to make the bed aware of my plight.

All I want to do is edit some video, but all Premiere wants to do is crash. I reinstalled the program, I reinstalled Windows, I cracked my knuckles, I swore a lot.All to no avail. The rhythm of the evening has been edit for five minutes, crash the program, reboot, redo everything I just edited, crash the program, reboot, redo everything I just edited, crash the program, reboot, redo everything I just edited, crash the program, reboot, redo everything I just edited, crash the program, reboot, redo everything I just edited, crash the program, reboot, redo everything I just edited, crash the program, reboot, redo everything I just edited, crash the program, reboot, redo everything I just edited, crash the program, chat with the natives, get thrown over the waterfall, get caught in an eddy and swirl around for hours, chat with the coroner who wants a match, offer to trade places with him, get arrested for shouting for help, get fined by the judge, have the last word because the natives stole my pantaloons with my wallet in them.

Things look really cool from in here.

GRAH! I HATE THIS PROGRAM. EVEN WHEN IT DOES WORK THE RENDERING LOOKS STUPID. Whenever some moves (which, in video, is fairly often) it gets these damn bars aliasing across the picture. They aren’t in the original video, but crop up when I render the final edit on my computer.

Boring. Sleep. Boring. Annoyed. Boring.
