It finally happened...
` Yes, I think it was inevitable. Because I couldn't keep all my shower-water from seeping under the baseboard directly behind the toilet, a family of twenty-four tiny mushrooms has sprouted up from beneath it.
` Oh sure, I could have put a towel back there each time I showered, but we're constantly running short on towels. They have a tough existence with us.
` In other news, I'm finally putting another collection of home movies on DVD. Not that I expect many people will ever see it, but it's a fun thing to do. Unfortunately, one of the fonts I'd used before I'd wiped my hard drive isn't there anymore, so the program's replaced it with a much bigger font that consistently runs off the screen.
` Without even telling me or displaying the text in the fonts they were replaced with! How it could have displayed them in a missing font, I don't know... but that's what the program did.
` Frelling fonts... I'm going to have to replace all those and then compile the video once more!
` On the positive side, I have enough motivation to get everything done in my life. That's truly an excellent plus, so on the whole, everything's looking up.
` I don't have anything new that's sciency or wackmobiley, though I have several posts I haven't finished. If I don't start working on something new, I can just finish one of those...
` Until then, sunshine and napalm! I gotta get to bed!

Weight Watchers Cards with the bad little mushroom family!
and kudos to you for having the motivation to get everything done! my motivation lies between thinking i should get things done, and then motivating myself to do it tomorrow!
Good night
You transfer home movies to DVD? Cool! I did that not long ago with a batch of videos of me from '91 to '93. I use the Canopus ADVC-300 for the analog to digital conversion. I guess if you shoot your stuff on MiniDV you don't need a converter.
` Those poor mushrooms! Hee hee!
` Also, isn't it great to ever be motivated to do stuff? The secret is to not feel like a huge, emotional weight is crushing you to death.
` Also, Joey, you just reminded me how much I love mini DV tape. I could kiss it.
