MOTHERFUCKER!
So on Monday I learn that the three Twilight Town files I still need to import to finish my god damn AMV will not import. iMovie turns up its nose at them. "No," it says, "I don't care how much you need this footage, I can not work with these files. No, I'm not sorry that you just wasted a day's worth of lab time when you need every hour you can get; it serves you right for bringing me these crappy files."
This after I reconverted those files just in case they'd been corrupt the first time. On Monday.
Motherfucker.
I do have some fragments of them in iMovie, so all is not lost. I've got enough to work a few particular bits I had in mind, so I'm not totally screwed on that front. I'd be doing what I could right now, if not for this ethics paper.
Which reminds me that my mom's laptop, which I borrowed for today to do my ethics paper on while I was in lab, doesn't run Word. Oh, it's not the laptop's fault. It's a perfectly good laptop. In fact, its preloaded copy of XP theoretically has Microsoft Office already on there!
Except when I open Word, it asks me to enter my product code.
From the CD.
Which we don't have because this is a preloaded copy of Word on a preloaded copy of Windows XP. So I can't run Word on the laptop.
Fucking Microsoft.
So I'm in the library now on the library computer, which DOES run Word thank you so fucking much Mr. Gates, and I'm going to write my ethics paper. I'm also going to try downloading the Twilight Town cutscenes in English, because I was using the Japanese files and maybe those were just encoded funky or something, I don't know. The English files are my last hope, because if I can't get them into the lab computer I'm going to have to grit my teeth and turn in an incomplete movie. (Unless some angel could get me the footage off of YouTube, but we'll try this before I start praying.)
Also, it's motherfucking cold out there. (By which I mean it may be below seventy. Yes, I know. All of you currently residing in places that are not a sweltering desert valley, please feel free to point and laugh at me. Heckling is okay too.) Cold winds that chill me when I'm wearing a jacket, at 1:30 in the afternoon? I'm glad it's not the other extreme any more, but what the fuck.
So, in conclusion: Fuck school, fuck Microsoft, fuck file formats, fuck iMovie, fuck 24-hour days, fuck sleep shortage, and fuck Arizona.
I think that covers it.
I'm so not caffeinated enough for this. >_< *opens Word and gets ready to channel Xemnas*
Edit: I SAVED SOME OF MOM'S RECIPES OVER MY THREE PARAGRAPHS OF ETHICS PAPER!
MOTHERFUCKER!!!

I've just about recreated what I lost, and I've still got... a couple hours to work on it. I'm fairly certain I will explode in a shower of words and get a passable paper in Just In Time, but damn it'll be a near thing.
God, I hope so. XD; The nice thing is that I can sleep in a little tomorrow...

I did get the paper done, and I did get some work done on the AMV. If the new batch of Twilight Town files is okay, I'll be good to go.
