Apologies for not posting sooner, but I've had internet issues this week. Blah.

We all have our favorite players, but some of us have a favorite player that is...shall we say, less than stellar. These can be guys that are good hitters, but terrible fielders or magnificent fielders but mediocre hitters, or even both! Whatever the case may be, there are those of us that subject ourselves to this situation for reasons unknown, myself included.

Take the White Sox's Brian Anderson for example. Brian has been my favorite for three years. He's a wonderful center fielder with awesome defense and a plus arm. But the fact is the guy fails at hitting. Yet I still follow him and root for him. Yeah, sometimes I feel silly and like it's totally pointless, but it's great when he does succeed. Plus I know I can look forward to great defense in his part every time he's out there.

So my question to you guys is this: Do you have a favorite player that sucks at one thing or other? If so, why do you like this guy?

Song that should not make me feel good but, oddly enough, does.

AVI Tutorial.

2008-05-16T02:39:25Z

I made this for sfgiantslove51, but if anyone wants to use it, too, go right ahead. :P Although this might be a no-brainer for some people. XD But here I am, making myself useful, I guess. :P

CONVERTING VIDEO FILES TO .AVI IN WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER
(for mini-movie icons)

Here is a fairly simple tutorial on how to change your video files into .AVIs. I've included screenshots to make it easier. Click the thumbnails for full view.

1. Open Windows Movie Maker and make sure the "Movie Tasks" sidebar is open.

2. Click "Import Video" in the sidebar.

3. Wait for it to import...
4. Once you have the video thumbnail, click on it to watch it in the player. Then, when the video gets to the part you want to make into an icon, click on the "split" button next to the little camera on the player's toolbar. This will split your clip in two. After the scene you want ends, click on the split button again to cut it off from the rest of the video.

5. Drag your desired scene into the first frame in the storyboard below and play it to make sure it's what you want.

6. Go to File > Save Movie File. The Save Movie Wizard will pop up.

7. Click to highlight "My Computer" on the selection screen.

8. Type in your desired file name and select the folder you want the .AVI to go in.

9. Click the "Other Settings" radio button, the select "DV-AVI" on the drop-down menu. Click "next" and wait for it to finish saving.

10. If you want to preview the video, select the "Play Movie when Finished" checkbox, otherwise click "Finish".

You're done! Now go check out some mini-movie tutorials (like this one) to put your movie to good use! ;)

Holiday Shopping

2006-11-17T20:06:43Z

I have a question for you guys. If I had a sale around the Thanksgiving weekend at my shop, would you buy something? Yes? No? Why or why not? I'm curious to know because I want to have a sale, but at the same time, if no one's buying anything, I don't see the point. Let me know, please. I appreciate your participation in the poll if you do. ♥

Yey, a sugar skull!! They only look easy to do. XD

Waffles!! My personal favorites. I kept the first pair for myself and I've gotten tons of compliments. :D
