Dead? 0o Nuuuww way!~

A great thing happened yesterday! You know what it was? I suddenly – out of the blue, got this urge, this spirit to blog again! 0__o I have no idea what may have occurred this – but either way~ I love to say that I’m back.. and not dead!~ =D

Watashi wa genki desu, hontouni genki DESSUUUU!~ <3

or.. not really.. Watashi wa hountoni ”tired”! D:

A lot of things have happened since this February. I’ve started my second year at ”high school” – media and communication. I’ve gotten to know my class mates a lot better. I’ve ended up been addicted to translation – mostly translation anime OP/ED/Insets into Norwegian. And I’ve attended my second Anime/Japan/Manga convention.. ever *_* (The last thing occurred just recently – this weekend)

Right now, I’m online at skype – chatting with some friends about a school assigment before tomorrow – we’re going to make an debate-program, using our schools studio. ..we’re going to discuss the private life concerning media with a certain paparazzi-case in focus. Boring stuff.. Nice to have friends around ya!˙  (V)(^_^)

みんなも私を見ている!~ D;
Minna mo watashi wo miteiru!~ D:
Everyone will look at me!~ D:

*Dies*

..anyways, I’ll tell you guys how it went – maybe even post a video! 0.o

Work, work, work.. and a no discipline x_X

I’m at school right, now. And I’m bored.. Like hell.

It is recress at the moment which is why I’m updating, (My teammates on my filmproject went down to the cantina to get some food, but I bought mine a little while ago to away the worst rush, so I’m eaten my lunch already XD) since I don’t wanna get caught blogging on my secret blog by some others.

Damn, well actually they did just came back, looks like there were a little less rush in the cantina than I  thought it would be…. Guess, I’ll just have to write with my screen turned away from them:

I need some discipline. Can anyone please give me some, or else I want some of it to my birthday.. Seriuolsy, I check out my Facebook or my YouTube account everyt fifth minute even though  is never anything that happends there D: I need to finish my lecture for tomorrow (We’re going to talk about how we did work on this movie) and I need to finish my advertisement analysis (I’m so sick of analysis (Is that plural? DX) right now. Damn, I wanna dub something soon, I have lines I gotta deliver for Gods sake, but I never get time to it anymore.. x_X

At least I’ve finished one of my tasks. I’ve actually finished a trailer we’re going to make for our movie. try to make a trailer out of a four minute long film XD It’s almost impossible, but at least I’ve don’t have to think about that or stress out with the program we’re using called Final Cut Pro ( Which you can see a screenshot of here, including my project xD)

OH SNAP!~ I’ve managed to get away from my work again. Discipline anyone?

I NEED A BREAK!

Seriously. I’m SO FED UP with school right now. Please, kill me someone. Or throw a rock at me so I’ll get a concussion or something. I NEED A BREAK! X__________X

Reason: The damn movie we’re making. First of I dedicated the whole last post to tell you why I was tired, but now I’m not just tired, I’m fed up. I’ve lost the faith in our project, the movie sucks like never before. (And it’s not even finished, I just know that there is no hope for it anymore) and I’m so sick of working with it. I need a break, I need some spare time.. I’ve not been able to catch my breath at all in two weeks or something because I’m so stressed….

So I’ll have to use my Saturday to travel to a class mate to work on the project. BAM!~ There, my whole Saturday disapeared to hell.. And like that wasn’t enough, my classmate lives on the countryside, so I’ll have to spend my day with two boys (My groupmates), two horses, dirt, cats, a lot of dirt. Alone. DAMN IT!

So excuse me. I’m just so angry now. Which is why this entry ended up like nonsense, excuce me. BYE!

An update from tired, little me..

…As you probably understood from the title. I’m damn tired right now. I should probably have been to bed and visited the country of dreams, (Though, I don’t  dream that much anymore) but then I suddenly discovered that my last post was.. Well, it was last year. So I thought I should give people a small update on what I’ve been doing (I should be kicked in my ass for lazy blogging DX).. Like anyone really cares about me. x_X

The reason I’m tired can be summed up with one word: Filmmaking. Have you ever thought about how hard and how much energy you have to give away to make one? If you’ve never have, then let me tell you shortly about all the things you need to think about, do, fix to make one. It’s not really just to purt a camera on record and scream: ”Action!~”
First of, you need a script, then you need to find locations to make the movie (Which I used a whole Friday night on. And have you ever tried to be outside for five instant hours in Norway? In the winter. When a freezing wind almost knocks you down and you carry around equipment worth about 60.000 NOK, 8000 USD. Let me say that you won’t understad what I’m talking about, before you’ve tried it.) Then you had to spand another five hours outside again, to take pictures to out storyboard. Then you had to make a piece of paper for all the camera-directons and stuff, get actors, make a recording plan, make deals with film music creators and so on and so on. It takes FOREVER! @_@
AND THEN! When you finally have all that fixed, do you have to record the whole stupid shit! Which meant eight hours outside in the snow. We didn’t finish recoring yesterday before 01.00 in the night. Gosh!~ I think I’ve never been so tired. And then again, today we finished off at 23.30… Luckily we’ve finished the recording session now, everything that’s left now is the editing part (Which probably is going to be the hardest part…. XXX__XXX ;;_;;) But I won’t even think about that now, now I’ll have to relax for one day before we start that part..

Think about that next time you go to the cinema, it’s ALOT of work behind every single sound you hear, every single movement, every single piece of the movie.

The movie we’re making is basiclly a school assigment. As I’ve talk endeless times before I attend something called a kinda ”media”-class. Right now is the theme short-movie, and we shall make a movie with a limit of five minutes, which shall be send in to a national filmfestival for young filmmakers. Our theme is the traditional story everyone knows ”Little Red riding hood” with a modern twist. (Won’t say anything more right now, I’ll explain the plot later.) If we get a prize or get nominated will it be shown on national television @_@ Though, I doubt that will happend, the movie sucks.. DX But anyways XD We’ve finished our task…

So I’ll end this now. Need…. Sleep…. But I promise I’ll post the movies when it’s finished.
So sayonara for now!~ n_n

08.12.12 – Product of the day

To be honest, this is a product from yesterday. Our task was to make a jingle for the radio station we’re having here at my school, that later could be used in a live show situation. We should use Garageband for this, and basicly try to compose a melody.

I thought this was extremly hard, and I did really stuggle. I’m not 100 % happy with the outcome, but on the other side, it is my first jingle ever, so I guess it’s okay. The voiceover is my voice (In norwegian of course) and it says something like this: ”Kanal 10. Live from the radio studio of MK. Kanal 10…” I know genius XD

You’ll have to download the file from here, to listen to it. But please don’t expect to much XD

Ohh!~ And to be off topic, I’m going to watch the ”Twilight”-movie tomorrow! I’m totally excited and can’t wait! @_@

Edit: It’s on YouTube now, ’cause someone had troubles downloading it. Look here:

08.12.10 – Product of the day

Time to present what I’ve made today. First of I just gotta tell everyone that it’s no biggie. It’s just a clip from a norwegian children song, our teacher gave us, that we should add sound effects too and it was basically just to train our skills in mixing and to understand effects in Garageband. So that’s what we’ve done today. Mixed sound effects in a norwegian children song! Four hours! Can someone please help me to get this song out of my head..? XD

If you want to download the clip I did mix, can you do that here:

And please, if you’re going to listen do it with headphones on. Or good speakers. You’ll have to if you shall get the right sound, since I’ve used left/right based mixing.

(So you’ll understand why the sound effects are where they are.. 8D)

Translated lyrics:
And grandma had a good time – She brought her knitting needles with her
And then she went out in the garden and sat down – on a hedgehog
She screamed so every man on the farm left their hayfork and their grids
And drove her down to Dr. Mo, who removed a lot of sticks! (Meaning the needles of the hedgehog)

Fun on the countryside,
Fun on the countryside,
We don’t have such things in the city! (No, we don’t)
Fun on the countryside,
Fun on the countryside,
We don’t have such things in the city!

”I hate Tuesdays”

”I’m sick of the day before I woke up”
”’I despise Tuesdays”
”Why can’t I skip school today…?”
”I regret getting up the second I sense it’s Tuesday”

All these quotes are sentences I’ve snapped up from my classmates during this day. And what is the thing that all these sentences have in common? I think you’ll get it, if you’re not complelty stupid. Basicly everyone in my class hates Tuesdays, and I’m probably one of them that hate the second day of the week the most.

I know I promised yesterday that I wouldn’t write any more posts about how ”miserable” my life is, or any more posts where I’ll complain about certian people or things. Well, this time I just can’t stand it! At least not this time. So I’ll break my rule, if so just for this post! I really need to tell you about my horrible Tuesdays!

”What is it that is so extremly wrong with Tuesdays then..?” You may ask. Patience. I’ll explain. My problem is that every Tuesdays starts with the same thing: Get up, hurry to school, boring school, go home.. This may seem like a normal day for most people, but for me it’s hideous! … ”And what’s the reason..?” You may ask. Well, you see. The reason is what ”Boring school” includes. I normally don’t think school is boring. It’s so much fun. Especially when we’re having ”Media” (A subject where the themes varies, but all of the themes has something to do with the media. This could be themes like: Sound, Ads, Photo, Radio etc.) Which we’re having every single day, except Tuesday. Do you sence a pattern?

The first thing we have is two hours norwegian. This is probably the worst way to start a day on. The teacher is boring, she is very strict and always seem to hand out papers where you get a bad great (She is extremly strict at the grades. I’ve never gotten as bad grades as she gives me.. -__-) All this things (Especially the grade-part) makes you feel pretty down, and the thought on the next class does not make it any easier.. It’s gym. I despise gym too!~ Probably because I suck at it: I’m the worst one in my class, and have cordination like a giraf that walks on stilts.. This makes me feel even more down, when I’m stuggling with the simlpest things that most other people think are ”Piece of Cake”. And as if that wasn’t enough, my stamnia is like a bread: Non-excisting. I always feel that I’ll faint in the middle of the class and when one and a half hour of pain (For both my body and my self-estim) is over am I one of the first to head towards the garderobe. After a quick change is it english. We’re having the same teacher in english as in norwegian, and that does not help much when I don’t like the subject in the first place. Don’t misunderstand, I love the english language. It’s just when I have to speak english in from of class, it doesn’t feel natural and when I’m on top up that has the first english since ”Petter Solberg” (Seach him up on YouTube, you’ll understand what I mean), then it’s no fun. The last class we’re having on Tuesdays is Math. Two hours of math! @_@ Do I need to say anything more…? At this point of the day have I most of the time reached a level of sleepines that gives me a big headache…

So there you have it. Every Tuesday is the same pain, and I’m always extremly depressed when I come home… No need to write page up and page up about it. Tuesdays just SUCKS! U_U
Now, excuse me, I’ll go to sleep. I need to be prepared for a whole day of ”Media” tomorrow! FUN! FUN! FUN! Wedensdays are actually quite the opposite of Tuesdays! So night (I promise I’ll give everyone a report if anything important happends, or post a sample if we make anything cool 8D)
