AWESOME CHANGE!

Nikki

In terms of the cliche “hooker gear”, the local prostitutes usually sport flannel and jeans and look more like run-down soccer moms on drugs. Next time I see someone wearing flannel and jeans, shall I scoff at their absurd presentation of “crazy prostitue style”? Really, how can anyone take those “deviant” flannel-wearing people seriously? ;) Better mark that point for elaboration in a future post…

This is what I say when people say fishnets and or mini-skirts, or any clothing is “the clothing hookers wear” My retort is usually “Well that’s because hookers have the guts to wear that clothing.”

I love fishnets, fencenets, and black hose. Love them all.

I like elegant looks the most, but having a kind of “kinky” look is fun to. Once again it is only kinky because “kinky” people have the guts. LOL.

As for me – it was a matter of my editing software not rendering the edges of a garbage matte properly when scaled down from the original video source frame size. The edges of the garbage matte should not be visible, but they were wherever the pixel values were not absolute (due to the anti-aliasing of scaling down). Don’t you just hate when that happens? lol Sorry – video geek here. :) It was the result of shoddy programming on the end of the software developer, and I spent considerable time trying to find a “quick” solution to the problem, but could find none (either myself, or on google). There are always work-arounds when it comes to video editing and visual effects, but it’s just not worth the hassle sometimes. I shouldn’t need to do all that extra work considering the editing app. is SUPPOSED to do it for you. If the features don’t work, why are they available within the software?!! Then again, it was an outdated version of the software, but I work with what I have and make the most of it. And this concludes today’s t-video-geek mini-rant! :P

@ Janie – I’m happy to hear you were stood up! lol I believe that’s the first time I’ve ever said that. As you pointed out, it really did work in your best interest, even if you felt bad in the moment of being stood up. If that wasn’t silver-lining enough, you got some good blog material and the comment you were kind enough to share with us here! :) Actually, I think your situation will make for an excellent in-depth and informative blog post. I’m sure you’ll also be a bit more cautious in the future, too… if at all possible. We all roll the dice as soon as we leave the front door, regardless of where our destination for the moment is – be it work, play, or laundry-day.

@ Lynn – Lemons and lemonade, Lynn! You nailed it! :) No sense in complaining about life’s lemons when you can made some sweet lemonade with them instead, right? Not sure if I’ll actually attempt to complete the video blog as was intended, but I did grab some nice frame captures from it, and I might just edit it together into a rough “outtakes” reel. I had some trouble getting the thing started, and kept tripping up… literally! lol There’s even a “birdie” flip in there… along with me ranting about not having a real video studio to work in. Frustrating at the time, but kind of funny to watch in retrospect. lol

Sorry to hear the project didn’t work out. Hobby time can be illusive and I think it can be really frustrating when a project just won’t come together.

Still, on the bright side, you did get something out of it!

To answer your challenge, I relay to you the experience of having being stood up after arranging to meet another t-girl for the first time – a girl who seemed to me to be a sympathetic, bubbly and extraordinary sort.

As it happens, I found new details about her on another site just today, and it turns out there is a side to her that I find deeply disturbing.

You never know what you’re going to get, meeting online contacts, but paradoxially, sometimes you can find out so much more even before you meet than you could have the old-fashioned way. I’m sure there’s a useful subject for a post for my blog in there, too.

I thank my lucky silver-lined stars that she never showed up for our meeting. I avoided a possible confrontation, as well as picking up material for my blog – and for a comment here on this fortuitously compatible post of yours!

Karma? Could be.

This is a terrible thing to say, but your techno troubles actually made me feel better about my own inability:)LOL

After basically getting my butt handed to me by my computer over the last six weeks I don’t feel so bad knowing that someone like you has problems from time to time as well.:)

I had a crash a few weeks ago while finishing tax preparations (result of malware that I know nothing about) and thought my world was going to end.

Your site is awesome and you obviously have skill (you’ve helped me in the past & thank you) but things don’t always go as planned do they? Glad it all worked out in the end.

More often than not our greatest failures are stepping stone to our greatest accomplishments.

As always you look fantastic and I hope your house hold is doing well.

Affections,

Nikki
