I have the flu. I have a 103 degree F temperature, my whole body aches, I'm so tired I can barely get up yet when I tried to sleep the sickly hallicinatory action made me uncomfortable.

Nine hours after having started editing, I finally finished the video.
9 hours for fucking 5 minutes final product
I hate Macs, I hate Final Cut, I hate stop motion, I hate video compression, I hate anything to do with film, and I hate that nobody listened when I said "Fucking stop motion is going to be a whore and a half to edit over night, lets use the camera's video function"

FinalCut, the only editing program that goes : Boy, I sure hope you didn't need the first 20 or so seconds of every scene
CAUSE THEY'RE FUCKING GONE
You want to edit the length of this clip
I DONT THINK SO
And what kind of editor needs fps control, not YOU, thats for sure
Knock knock, who's there, a two gig, five minute video with crippled image quality.
Seriously
When I import pictures, I think that if they're going to be the same size in memory, they should be the same fucking quality too

I am so goddam pissed
Now I get to take a two hour nap before my first class of the day starts

Oh wait, it doesn't, because when I dropped a class, the school dumped the wrong fucking one so now I've lost the subject I got my best fucking grades in

I can honestly say I feel much better. A good meal, some decent sleep, letting down your guard and talking to someone, and a funny book can do a lot to improve a person's mental well being. The book was If Chins Could Kill, by Bruce Campbell. I was getting a little sick of how Count of Monte Cristo really starts to drag at the end and needed a break. I will finish it, but it needs to hurry up and end. Not even LotR:RotK was this slow paced at the end.

from a page ago but i haven't been on in a while so...

when our fridge at work bitches up and does this, we take everything out and unplug it for the night. When we plug it back in in the morning, it has gone back to working normally.
Granted, we have a second giant cooler downstairs we can put it all in, and I doubt you have two fridges, but it beats having a permanently broken fridge.

is putting explosives in it and blowing it up an option? Cause that would be cool and youtube worthy. Not that it would in any way fix it, it would just be cool.

Here's how you make a youtube video, first get something small (like a coffee can), put something weird (like a cantaloupe) on top of it, and blow it up. Then show the fridge with explosives inside, and explain that you will blow it up as soon as you get enough paypal donations to buy a new fridge. Then show a wide assortment of wacky stuff that the biggest donor can can choose to go in the freezer compartment and on top of the fridge when it goes up.

People love to see things blow up, especially when you make it interactive. :D

While I grant you, blowing up a refrigerator would be IMMENSELY awesome, I would probably have to clean up the mess. Also, EOD hasn't detonated anything here in MONTHS. Which is distinctly reassuring because that typically means there's no explosives in the area in NEED of detonating. If the opportunity arises, I shall surely try and create a video of things being blown up by other things simply because I know people here would love it. After all, the next best thing to being there when stuff gets blown up is being able to say "I know that guy watching that stuff get blown up!".

Most likely course of action is that the fridge will rot in the dumpster. Or receive the Office Space treatment, then rot in the dumpster.

What office space really needed was high-caliber high-rate-of-fire weaponry in the printer scene, or did you mean burn the building the fridge is in to the ground?
