All I Want For Christmas...

Do you know what I asked for this Christmas? Of course you don't, I ask for slippers, a dressing gown and two sets of PJs. I don't have these things, no one buys me these things, ever and I feel like I am missing out! What's Christmas for anyway if you don't get slippers and a dressing gown?  (I am not a moron so don’t try and put me right with your religious mumbo-jumbo).

 

I find it hard to come up with anything that I want for Christmas. There are plenty of things that I would like, but the majority of them cost a fortune and I’d probably not use them even if I got them.  I would like a sh*t hot editing suite as mine is, as you probably know from my Twitter rantings, old school. I’d like a bunch of DVD’s, but I pay for Sky Movies every month and can’t quite ask for something I’m already getting, if you know what I mean?

I don’t want for much and to tell people to spend the money that they don’t have on me of all people seems just wrong.  They will just spend it on cigarettes and wine anyway, but at least they’ll be in less debt than they were before old White Beard started dragging his sack around once more.

And I do want a pair of slippers, laminate floor is so cold, a dressing gown, I love slobbing around and PJ’s well the cold night air doesn’t do much for your family jewel’s pride. I do love Christmas, mainly because I’m not at work and because at Christmas it is fine to drink whiskey and coffee together at 10am in the morning, sometimes they aren’t even in the same drinking vessel.  I like to live dangerously... in the safety of my own home.

Time Kills Ambition

Time kills ambition. There I’ve said it. What I mean by that is a few months ago I was all hopping around getting excited about making a few videos, something I haven’t done for years, over a decade in fact. Then a sh*t storm of PC trouble came my way.  I filmed my first single hander as I call them, no sexual references hidden away in that title I assure you.  I then went to edit it on my laptop and quickly found that my expensive folding computer that I only purchased a few years ago, is in fact bobbins (olde world English for w*nk.)

So a few weeks went by and I re-acquired my old editing PC tower station thingy I had given away to my Father-in-law, which he never used, some months back.  I found that the editing software I used to use doesn’t support HD and so I had to find a new one. I updated my editing software to be told my graphics card in this PC was also bobbins.  I kind of knew that this would be the case, but had my fingers crossed.  Not tightly enough it seems.  

I have purchased the only PCI HD graphics card I can find on the interweb and tonight I am hopefully going to install it. No doubt I will probably find out that it is still not good enough and my whole video making comeback will by then be kaput.

Time kills ambition? Well, yes it has taken me so long to get to this stage that I kind of can’t be bothered. However, I know that if it does work then I will regain the enthusiasm that has waned over the last month or so...

... and you lot have probably given up waiting to see my ugly mug anyway.
