Dolphin program, video, blather

la_belle_laideI was talking to Rob today about the dolphin thing (THURSDAY) and he says he thinks there might be a chance for everyone. That's a huge "might" but the chance is there! So in a few weeks, it could be that I will be playing dolphin mommy. I can't even imagine what that will be like. I know it's the in thing to love dolphins and everything and to act like you're all "connected" with them, but I've always been queer for the dolphin since I was a little kid. They are fantastic; so strong, true athletes. And I love their faces. They're not the perfect species and they're not socially perfect (dolphins do rape and murder just like people,) but they are fascinating. I so totally hope that I get to know one. I know I keep saying it, but I can hardly imagine it, just swimming around for hours in a dry-suit with a 200 pound dolphin who just wants to be your company for a while.
Incidentally, I also love sharks. I would not want to run into one outside of a controlled environment, but I do find them fascinating and beautiful. The place where the dolphin program is also might, in the future, host a "swimming with sharks" kind of thing. I think I'd do that, too.
I also made another 30STM video, and this one's just got me in it. I mean, some scenes and stuff, and you catch a glimpse of a few of my training brothers, but mostly it's just me goofing around and acting as if I'm making some kind of important piece of art. ;) (Which I totally am not.) The video is for their song Praying for a Riot, which is a cleverly hidden track that sneaks in before the two other hidden tracks. It's only like 2 minutes long but it's a gorgeous song. (My favorite part is his voice right there at that very last second.)
Anyway, this video is just me having fun with my camera and with various filters and some good ole' fashioned computer animation.
Download. A measly 25 MB.
Or YouTube which is buggy lately. (Is this something to do with Google? Better not be!)
Or just look at it here:
It only took me a few hours, actually, once I got MovieMaker to behave a bit.
Well, now it's time to feed the Ninja Wizards and then myself. Tonight I have to re-set iTunes and my iPod all over again (stuffing all of my music back into iTunes! But hey, at least I have my music back.) Then I either work on my Halloween costume, which has to be the coolest thing ever for the concert, or work on my book. Which will it be? WHICH? :)
