ALTHOUGH I'd rather you use the list at my Deewee, because it links to the fics on Deewee and is more up-to-date. Thanks. :)

Comments go there—at my Dreamwitdh—using OpenID.

I decided that I won’t be using my LJ anymore, except for commenting on LJ posts. Instead I’ll be using my Dreamwidth.

Comments go here.

My username at Dreamwidth is Scemo.

. . . yes it did take me more than four hours to find one I actually like. But I do like it. :] And it’s Italian for “idiot/idiotic,” which is always a bonus.

And for the record, it’s pronounced “chaymo,” not “ch-emo.” :D

So, yeah. Since it’s Not LiveJournal Anymore, I won’t make the same mistake I made with my LJ, meaning, It Will Indeed Be A Trilingual Journal. Hurray! (But not for you if you can’t speak Italian/French. :P)

I’m still not sure what will happen with the LJ, but I might just be moving away. Dunno.

This is honestly one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen.

Then there’s this, which is quite . . . something. And this video response = pretty amazing. (Not that good at first, but it gets better. XD)

And look at how much I wrote in Italian!

Lastly: I can now start writing Brömhheir again, seeing as the musical’s finished!

OH MY BLOODY FUCKING BLOODY HELL

THE MUSICAL! IT’S DONE! IT’S OVER! IT’S FINISHED! IT’S—IT’S—IT’S MY BABY! IT GREW UP AND IT’S PERFECT AND THERE’S NOTHING LEFT TO CHANGE AND OH MY GOD I AM SO VERY PROUD OF IT.

Yay!

!!!

XD XD XD

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFff

This was written back in January—I forgot about it and never proofread it. Remember this for context. :)

( As said by Franklin P. Jones, ‘It’s a strange world of language in which skating on thin ice can get you into hot water.’ As said by myself, ‘Maybe that’s why the ice was getting so thin. ‘m just sayin’.’ )

This is me rendering the last-last-last effect shot for the musical!


(Click for full version.)
Oh my god! I am done! Adhaskjfhakjhhajkfkhdw!

So, as per tradition, I now have to post two small shots of the movie.

( Only, they aren’t very small this time. )

ETA: Editing-wise, the first draft is now (aka at 4:59 p.m.) complete.

I really fail at posting Cuba!pics, don’t I. :/

Well, in the meantime . . .

An icon meme stolen from fera_festiva!

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick six of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

( Icooooooooooooooooooooons. )

I am very nearly done the visual effects for the musical (which is now titled “Dans lequel des marins grelottent” because of potterfreak0515’s help—that is, “In which sailors shiver”). One more shot of VFX, I tell you! . . . It’s a somewhat hard one, though.

That being said, I started editing the thing around Monday. It’s turning out really great! I am super happy with the results! Four and a half minutes out of five are completed, but roughly. I’m looking forward to post it and see what people think.

(The film competition’s deadline is April 24, for the record, which gives me a pretty good amount of time.)

Aaaaaaanyway, the actual point of this post is that, well, okay: At Christmas I got Sony Vegas—which does editing—and it is brilliant, etc. When I got it, though, I had nothing to edit, and I was really eager to try it out (as well, I wanted to practise so as I’d not have to learn how to work with a new programme once I’d have to quickly finish the musical!). So I pieced together a little 20-second demoreel of visual effects I’ve done form 2006 to 2008. Some look quite n00by, and some are slightly better (slightly being the key word).

No more further rambling. This situation deserves some swearing at myself.

I apologize for the clips’ inconsistent aspect ratios.

Yes I did have fun making letters move. Yes it was the only reason I put them in the video. Why do you ask.

( It’s no surprise America elected him. )
Thanks to polkadotsnplaid for posting the textless pic on political_macro.

When we were in Cuba, seeing my sister speak Spanish so well to the locals made me start to regret having dropped my Spanish class. But then I told myself that I do think it’s an annoying language, and I do not like it, and I am not motivated to learn it.

And then I told myself that I’ve always been shamelessly fanboiy when it comes to Italian—I remember this phase I went through in fifth grade during which I’d decided I really needed to learn the language one day. So, as skilfully foreshadowed with things such as “I don’t like Spanish so I won’t learn it but I do like Italian oh my fucking god,” I am teaching myself Italian! Woohoo! In the past two days, I spent hours and hours on it, and it is so much fun and so addictive and I am learning so much—135 words/phrases so far, actually, with the help of this dashing (and free!) programme. Plus some googling. And now whenever someone mentions a word I know I know, I say it in Italian in my head, because I am that hardcore.

Speaking of hardcore, Italian is very hardcore.

So, yeah. My goal is to post a short fanfic by the end of the school year. With many wordreference.com-usage, I think it’d be doable. :)

( Macros: Sirius x 2, Sweeney, and Ignatieff )
And the rec: fera_festiva wrote-‘n’-drew me the most amazing birthday present in the history of ever! It explains How Remus/Tonks Came to Be, which really is a tough one to explain. This, of course, makes it all the more stunning and brilliant. :D

potterfreak0515, if you want me to link yours as well, which I doubt, just say the word. :) And send me the link—the pic-uploader I use can’t handle images that size.

And as we’re on the subject of potterfreak0515, I edited this post because I’d forgotten to say that she’d betated me. I’M SORRY CRYSTAL, THAT WAS REALLY-REALLY-REALLY-REALLY RUDE AND OBNOXIOUS OF ME. D:

I took a bath today! Well, sort of.

It was for the musical. Since there’s a shot at the end in which the sailors’ boat interacts quite a lot with the water, I needed to film water moving in certain ways.


( Here’s what I did. )

Back! The trip was amazing. I’ll talk about it as soon as I upload the pics. :D

Thus it seems that, for now, some IM goodness and a few French lines of having too much fun with verbs will do.

( IMing . . . )

( . . . and the French stuff. )

I’m leaving for Cuba at 2:30 today! Yay! I’ll miss you guys so much! But it’s gonna be so much fun! XD

I wrote a little fanfic yesterday. It’s really short, and I was about to make some art to go with it, but I won’t have time (I did try last night, but it failed epically). So here it is:

Burn

“So this is what Cuba’s like,” Sirius said, squinting with a hand placed against the sun.

“Oh dear Lord,” Remus mumbled to himself, in a kind of What the Fuck fashion. Then he turned toward his boyfriend to say, “Sirius, we’ve been here for five days already. It shouldn’t be such a surprise.”

. . . It takes time for Sirius to notice anything that doesn’t involve canine cuisine.

Bye now!!
