Tubes

This is new. Go to www.tubesnow.com and download the free tubes software. This is for people who are a little more technologically advanced or what have you. If you do get the software, it allows you to instantly share files with others who use your tube. You get to invite only those you want and you can store many files in there. I put our entire movie collection in the Tropical Fruit tube. So if you want to join us let me know and I will send you an invite to our tube. I also am going to put some pictures in there so you will be able to get them at better quality than when you steal them from on here. In addition, maybe you can get some of the ones I used in my movies that you cannot steal. You can also gain access to some other things I might put in there that I can not post on here. My friend Trish uses it and she put this in mine. Give it a try. www.tubesnow.com

Spiderman 3 was good but a little over crowded. There was so much stuff going on and too many villains.

Netflix is so wonderful. This past weekend we watched The Flintstones movie. I have not seen that one in ages and that was the first time the kids saw it. I just loved it when it came out. My mom had these drinking glasses from McDonald’s with The Flintstone’s on them. I wonder if she still has them. We also watched Night at the Museum. That one was not so great. Today we should be getting Dreamgirls. I cannot wait to see that.

Carolynn is getting ready for her elementary graduation. The school is taking fifth graders to The Wave, a nearby water park. They are also having a teacher vs. fifth Grade softball game. In addition, there will be a graduation ceremony. I will be there with my cameras so be prepared. My regular (still photo) camera seems to be having some trouble. It does not seem damaged and it turns on fine, but the screen looks all blurry and like how it used to look when you turned to the HBO channel when you did not have HBO. I have not had that camera too long. Maybe like 4 years. It is a Sony Cybershot.

I bought my mom a mother’s day card right before we went to Las Vegas. I found it still in my desk on Monday while I was looking for something else. Oops. Better late than never.

Make sure you watch Catherine’s Story. She is a little hard to hear because the video camera I use is cheap and not good. One day, when I have more money, I will get a super cool one that makes DVD’s or something. But, not today. Carolynn did a similar video too, so be sure and check her out.

I am totally addicted to Rosie O’Donnell’s blog. I came across it one day, about a month ago or so. I was looking at the LOL Cats, they were nominated for a blog award, and then I clicked on the blog award site and happened to see hers. I clicked it and have been reading it since. I am not really sure why. Politically, she is very left of me. Her views tend to offend others. I personally think that she has a right to think or say whatever as long as it does not cause harm. If you do not like it, do not listen, turn the channel, surf another webpage. Whatever. Some of the stuff she says I do agree with and I think it is nice to see someone who is a “celebrity” be so real. I do not think it’s fake at all. She has a very nice family. So anyway, if you want to check it out: Rosie Blog. However, I warn you, those who are extremely republican, very right wing type of people, you probably will not like her blog. In addition, from the information I have gathered, it maybe illegal or sacrilegious or something else horrible, to read her blog while in the state of Texas. That fact has not been confirmed, just my opinion. P.S. There will be no major political discussion on this blog. It is a family page.

This weekend we are seeing Pirates of the Caribbean 3. I got free tickets from Albertson’s. I have six tickets so far. According to my last receipt I am $10 or so away from 2 more tickets so if you need some, let me know. People with kids get first choice.

We are also going camping this weekend. I get Monday off so we are going to be camping Sunday to Monday in Julian. It should be fun.

That is about it I think. If I sent you an e-mail about pictures don’t forget to send me some. If I did not send you an e-mail about pictures, it is because I already have some or I just have not yet and I will.

Turtle Time

Carolynn insisted I make her a video about taking care of her turtle. It's a little corny, but here it is.

Viva Technology!

I hope everyone is enjoying my videos. Of course, displaying my pictures in a video makes it much harder for people to "borrow" them, but I enjoy making them so tough. David tried to post a video on here the other day and posted it like three times. It was not actually his fault. He posted it three times several days ago, the one stuck that day, and the other two appeared this morning. Oh well, I fixed it already. Besides, his video posting was not hand made like mine are. His is just a Bon Jovi video. My Las Vegas video is not the greatest ever. I unfortunately did not have very many pictures to use. We were really only there one day, having arrived late on Friday night and left early on Sunday morning. I used every single picture I had, good or not, and a few I found on the internet. Then I stretched them out. Usually each picture should display five seconds and each title should appear about 4 seconds. I had mine stretched to six to seven seconds per picture or title. Oh well, it was only my second attempt. I expect they will get better with more practice and training. I am currently working on one that features turtles and has actual video in it. You can only guess whom it is for…

Carolynn wrote yesterday, so be sure and check that out. She does not write much, but she likes when people read what she does write.

Nothing else is going on here. I finish my classes next week. The next ones do not start until the middle of June. I am taking two more over the summer; one of them involving the making of simple movies and such. That is why I have a theory that mine will get better. The other class I am taking is math. I am not a big fan of math, but I still have to take it. I am just finishing one math class now, so I figured I would move on to the next one while it was still fresh in my head.

The girls are planning some kind of Mother’s Day thing for Sunday. They will not tell me what it is, but they giggle a lot when asked. I will try to get some video or pictures of whatever it is. I am sure it will be wonderful.
