Editing a Podcast

Well this podcast is due in 2 days and I'm finally getting around to assembling it. It's a pretty straight forward edit job.. there were a few things I need to record and cut in but all in all it was a good edit.. now I just have to level the audio, convert it and upload it.. oh and I still need to build the blog page for it.. think I'll do that tomorrow.

More Painting

We have been putting painting the master bathroom off for weeks.. well it's actually re-painting it as our contractor who we paid to paint it did a crappy job. Well today I finally bite the bullet and started. While I painted the master bathroom, Harry painted (again re-painted) the laundry room. Did quite get everything done but will finish for sure tomorrow.

Stupid People

Today I had to get off work early and head to a meeting with our Yucca Hills Neighbors. It sees that one of the guys how owes part of our dirt road (Yucca Hills Road) wants to fence it in, which would of course mean we wouldn't be able to get in or out of our place. Of course this is illegal as the road it our sole source of getting to ours and many others houses. These are called Easements and those are roads that you may own but are used by others and must remain clear.

So we went to a lawyers house who happens to be neighbors with this guy. A bunch of people showed up and I had no idea how much animosity and hatred everyone had for each other. The debates were heated and we weren't even talking about the guy blocking our road. It was very chaotic and in the end everyone agreed to a "wait and see" before pursuing costly lawsuits.

The one good thing about this is we got to meet our immediate neighbors who seemed like really nice people.

So now we wait and see what this crazy guy is going to do. If he puts the fence up will just knock it down and if he does it again.. will continue to knock it down. We have the law, sheriff and fire department on our side.

Off with my Golden Locks

I have been going back and forth with cutting my hair. I haven't had long curly hair in a while since I always worried about the thinning top. Now that I don't care I grew out my hair and was loving it. The thing with my hair is when it gets long it starts to look messing.. not the good messy but the messy messy.. so I highlighted it hoping that would help. I loved the blond tips but it continued to cause me issues. I debated on cutting it all off a few times during the last week but finally tonight enough was enough and I had Harry shave my head. Of course as soon as it's all gone I miss it.. but it's only hair and it will grow back.

Editing a Podcast

Today, unlike the past few weeks, I had some down time at work so I took this opportunity to edit some more of Knights of the Guild podcast as it's due in a few days. This Knights of the Guild podcast is alot work but it's very rewarding work so I don't mind spending extra hours of free time working on it.. now if I could only get paid for podcasting.. I would be a much happier guy.

Taxes

Today at lunch I was able to get over to my Tax guy and sign the forms.. so now they can be mailed in.. should be getting my rebate checks in a month or so.

Happy Anniversary

Today seven years ago I got a response to my yahoo personal ad and my life would never be the same.

Goodies

Tonight when I got home from work there was a package waiting for me.. it was from England and I knew exactly what it was. A few weeks ago my friend Markus from England sent me a link to a TV remote control that looked like a magical wand. Of course I flipped out and he offered to buy it for me for a house warming present. He then wanted to get Harry something as well (even though he doesn't really know him) and suggested various chocolate sold in England. So today I got the package and opened it up.. of course there was an AWESOME wand but then there was a boat load of candy.. so many different kinds of chocolate. Could believe how much he sent.. As for the Wand I can't wait to activate it this weekend and see if I can change my channel with a flick of the wand.

Editing the Podcast

Taking a break for the stress of work and doing a little editing of my Knights of the Guild podcast. Episode 14 part 1 is due in a few days and I figured I can do some editing while taking a break from work. Will see how far I get.

Tron Legacy

I loved Tron as a kid and saw the first movie in the drive in. I still love watching it here and there on DVD and now they are finally making s sequel.. here's the teaser trailer.

Oscars

This was a 3 and a half hour Oscar show. Jenni stayed after the podcast to watch it with Harry and I so we had to watch it live (which I never do). I would say 95% of the winners were as expected so there wasn't much excitement. I'm happy that Sandra Bullock won for Best Actress as I have been a huge fan of hers for years and enjoyed her performance in The Blind Side. I was hoping for Avatar to take Best Picture but wasn't surprised when The Hurt Locker won instead as The Hurt Locker director won as well.

One of the highlights of this Oscars were the co-hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin... both were very funny and entertaining. They had some odd camera angles and the stars didn't seem to excited whenever a camera was in their face. There were a few WTF moments but for the most part it was just an okay Oscars... guess there is always next years.

Recording a Podcast

Today Jenni stopped by the studio (my house) and we recorded Episode 14 part 1 & 2. We recorded live on Ustream.. you can watch the video here. (password KOTG)

It was our first episode after our fun filled 1 year anniversary special. It was alot of fun to get back to our regular format show. Still have a few audio issues with our interviewees and the video stumbled a bit but it seemed that our listeners/viewers enjoyed the show. Going to edit up part 1 and will release it on March 15th. While part 2 will be released on April 1st.

Hope you guys enjoy it.
