Another slow day...

Wah! I got caught video editing late last night / this morning. I was working my AAA dance montage titled "Dance Corner." I was working on a bonus feature, I threw in some clips of the "CRASH" off-shoot along with some humorous subtitles/captions I added in. Anyways, I was happily working on my clips and since I was almost done, I was just about to do the credits scroll, then IT happened... my computer froze.... then the editing program frocefully shut itself down..... and I didn't save.... life must hate me or something. So... I spent a few extra hours redoing what I was working on earlier (from scratch). Hahahahaha, I finished it! Next was the most painful step, creating the DVD menu, there was a lot of photoshopping and animation cells involved. As if I wasn't being punished enough, my custom DVD menu creator freezes... and yet again I did not save.... one would assume that I'd learn from my first mistake, think again! I rush through everything and always believe that I can finish something in one sitting. Thus the reason I do not save on small video projects. Well, from that point on, my mother discovered me still sitting with my eyes fixed on the computer monitor at 6am (I got home at 11pm, haven't slept). Next thing I knew, my head was smashed into the keyboard; the impact caused by what I believe was a yard stick. Then my mother starting yelling and beating me for not sleeping. She kept threatening to terminate the internet contract with comcast, but i wasn't even using the internet for film editing. This entire fiasco ended with my mother yelling, "get out of my house, you are no longer welcome here!"

PS my mother's anger passes by and cools down pretty fast, so I'm not homeless. On my way to work today, I went to Mitsuwa for gifts(AAA stuff for myself). I bought a ume onigiri for myself to eat because I have severe montion sickness with cars. I bought all of the gift goodies as well. Besides the white elephant stuff I bought myself an "ALL/2" AAA album, this makes me very happy. Yay!

Let's see now...when I got to work, there were no customers.... it was very quiet. But then there was a storm of phone calls for "take-away." We ended up getting ten large orders at once, the kitchen people were disoriented, lol. Because of the nasty cold weather, people have been calling in to pick up food. In my opinion, its not any different than taking the effort to actually sit and eat at the restaurant, so then why aren't people coming for dine-in? Its a ghost town in here...*~tumble weed rolling by*...... So much emotional and physical pain for me today.
