Life on Yavin IV: A Looooong Weekend

Life on Yavin IV

Hello there. I'm Jedi Knight G. Since the creation of the New Jedi Order by Master Skywalker, the Jedi have been free to take part in previously forbidden activities. One of those being Marriage. The following are the tales of my experiences being married with children. May the force be with you...G.

A Looooong Weekend

"Jedi business, go back to your drinks." —Anakin Skywalker

Yeah. You all go have your fun and drink it up. After all it is SuperBowl weekend. Right!?

Well, I'm not really enjoying the thrill of the anticipation for the big game. Not because I lack any emotion or attachment to either team (my cowboys will be back soon...),but because I've been leaning over this computer since Friday night. Got creative Jedi business to do. I shoot a wedding back in June '05 and I'm still not done editing it. It's a lot of work to find time to edit a project like this with a job, 2 kids, a wife and murphy's law hangin' around. It's really been getting the best of me. So Jenn decided to take the kids after work friday and head to the grandparent's. Xander at Mamaw & Papaw Gulledge's and Haven at Ninnie & Papaw Lanier. They won't be back till sunday afternoon, that way I could have all weekend just to work.

Man...I'm hurting right about now. I started working when Jenn left about 7pm Friday night. I went to bed about 3;30am. Got up at 8:30am and started back to work again. Currently it's 7:50pm saturday night and I'm at VTN using the Avid to add some effects to the project. I'll be here for several hours. I feel like I've been in a time warp...I'm completely zoned out. My head is throbbing and I've got some serious cabin fever, but I'm making progress. Not finished, but making progress.

I'll never take on another job like this untill I'm self-employed. There's just no time. The graphic gigs and web stuff can be squeezed in here and there, but the video work takes T-I-M-E and I don't have it.

Well, you're probably asking..."why are you blogging and not working?" I am working. I'm digitizing my footage into the Avid. It'll take about an hour. So I've got some time to relax from editing and I thought I'd spend it with you, my faithful (small, but faithful) readers.

Well, I need to get back and take care of business. Have fun this weekend. I'm rooting for the commercials. GO COMMERCIALS!
