Really?

Do I seriously have to download a separate Freeware thingy just to edit animated gifs? I'm sorry, but that is stupid. I have the Adobe Creative Suite for heaven's sake! There's no reason on this Earth I shouldn't be able to edit gifs with it, but everything I'm finding online tells me that because Imageready is no more, that I can create my own gifs but cannot edit existing ones. That is punk, pos, bunk, and well, completely unacceptable. Am I missing something here?

Kinda worried about my new editor just because she doesn't seem to know much about basic document management. H pointed out that there are plenty of brilliant people who don't know dick about computers. That H, he's so smart.
Anyway, the draft is "done" and handed over to the editor officially. I just realized today that I wanted my MC to be a connoisseur of something he has merely mentioned a lot. So that's a bummer. Not a huge deal, but it will probably bug me forever now.

Tosh.0 is much, much funnier than it should be. It makes me almost want to Tweet. Not quite, but almost.

Thinking about downloading Stubbs the Zombie for Xbox360. It's not very expensive and it's gotten some great reviews. H cautioned me about it because I'm impatient when learning new games and give up easily if they are too complicated. Plus I don't really play video games by myself except on the GBA. Dead Rising was much too hard for me. Those guys in the jeep are dicks. I played a lot of Wii Sports alone when we first got it, but now it's mostly something H and I do together. We got a trial of PinballFX I think it's called. It's not like video pinball, it's like REAL pinball with a flipper delay and stupidly slanted table. I'm going to play it in a bit, actually.

Tonight I'm making chicken alfredo pasta with mushrooms and red peppers. Man, it's going to be tasty even as it is making us die of cholesterol. We're big fans of comfort food around here. Then later we're going to watch Prince Caspian because I've never seen it. I bet it's gonna be about Jesus.

Not sure why, exactly, but this is the best thing I ever saw:


EDIT:
I'm sorry, THIS is now the best thing I ever saw...

Prince Caspian was really good, but yes, it had plenty of Biblical under tones. Let me know what you think of the final fight scene on the bridge.

Tosh.0 was jut too much making fun of people for me. For me, it's okay to make fun of celebrities (like on The Soup and The Dish), but they took it a little far and made fun of people with disabilities on Tosh.0.

I really see it as pointing out the foolishness of all people as portrayed by the internets. Seems like intentionally leaving any group of people out of the mockery would be sort of discriminatory. I also enjoy the mixed bag of results they get on the web redemption.

I'm sure I'll post my thoughts on the movie either here or on the Facebook. :-]

I tried watching Tosh.0 but I felt like the whole show revolved around making fun of people who were.. I don't know.. not really deserving of it. It felt different than Talk Soup where you have these moronic people that think they are celebs going on about how awesome they are. Maybe I should try another episode, but I spent most of it feeling uncomfortable for the people who they were showing videos of.

I can't speak to Stubbs because I haven't played it, but if you are looking for a new game, try the demo of BRAID too.. great game. Maybe a little harder than it needs to be in places, but you can't die.. you can always rewind time. Plus the soundtrack is marvelous.

lol.. isn't it embarrasing that my opinion on Tosh.0 is exactly the same as my girlfriends? (redface) ;)

I must say that when I do watch Daniel Tosh, I feel like I might as well make a wonder bread sandwich and move to a trailer park. Still, it's funny to me. I guess because deep down I'm still a pretty angry person. :-/

Braid, eh? It's not a game about hair styling is it? ;-]

I know, right? Next you'll both be finding me witty and charming.

*snerk*

Yeah, I'm with sudrin on this one -- Talk Soup is mockery of people who've opened themselves to it. tosh.0 blurs the line a little too much. (I find his stand-up hilarious, though.)

He does stand-up? I guess I could have assumed that but I didn't actually know.
