Good morning, Readers!
This is me right now. Image courtesy of mediterranean-quality-care.com. Click for link.
So, the weekend just passed was a very, very productive weekend. Okay, Sunday was extremely productive. It could be no other way. I procrastinated a lot on Saturday.
I went to teach my classes as usual, but for some reason, I was so tired when I got home that I collapsed into bed (around 1:00pm) and slept right through until 6:00pm. I got up, groggy, of course, and attempted to function before having a shower and collapsing back into bed. What a waste of a day. There was so much I needed to get done.
So I did them all Sunday.
Sunday morning, however, was reserved for fun with friends. It was a brunch to celebrate the birthday of a dear friend, who is an awesome woman. That was followed by a game of Archery Tag. Originally, the birthday girl and her husband were coming, but a death in the family (WTF, January?!) meant that they had to cancel their reservations. Those of us not connected with the family played in their honour.
Our team, by the by, won three to one. Boom! I, uh, also maybe might have shot some poor boy right in the nuts, dropping him like a stone. I'm so sorry, dude!
I arrived home shortly before 4:00pm from the game, and gathered a few bags and went back out. I desperately needed groceries. Went grocery shopping, arrived home again, did a load of laundry and then settled in to play a couple of hours of Skyrim for Silver Stag's SMC Awkwardly Plays segment.
I then edited and uploaded an episode of SMC Awkwardly Plays, ran upstairs to edit together the next Nights at the Round Table episode (going up this afternoon on the channel), and while the raw videos were importing into the editing software, ran back downstairs to edit together the first episode of CoOpted. While SMC Awkwardly Plays was uploading to YouTube, I ran back upstairs to begin the proper edit of Nights at the Round Table. Halfway through, I ran downstairs to upload CoOpted (which had finished rendering), and while that was uploading, ran back upstairs to finish the edit of Nights at the Round Table.
Confused? Don't worry too much. All you need know is that I was editing three things at once, and continually running up and down the stairs to get it done. I finished all the editing around 10:45pm or so.
Then I began the export of Nights at the Round Table. I export first, because YouTube often gives me trouble on my slow little laptop if the video length is too long. At roughly half an hour an episode, it's a bit long for YouTube. So I have to export it first, and then upload the mp4 from YouTube (rather than exporting to YouTube directly from the software).
That export finished at precisely 2:25am. How do I know? Because I woke up at 2:24am, and it had one minute left. I was still awake when the export finished. So I hauled myself out of bed, and began the YouTube upload.
I hope I did it all correctly, or there'll be no episode today....
Anyway, I couldn't get back to sleep to save my life. I refused to actually get up, though, and spent the next three odd hours willing myself to sleep. I managed to doze some. And then my alarm went off at 7:00am.
I am bloody exhausted today. I tried to make up for my exhaustion by dressing prettily. I'm not sure it worked, honestly.
Anyway, I'm tired and will probably be non-functioning the rest of the day. Which bodes ill for my martial arts training this evening. Le sigh.
On the bright side, though, I got it all done, and everything is queued up and ready for launch for this week. Go me!
Now I off to finish editing Daughters of Britain. Be it video or text, editing is just something I have to do. Le sigh!
Ciao!
