reason #893 why you shouldn't watch the episode of friends right before going to sleep that involves rachel being a week late on the due date for her baby: you have an extremely vivid dream that involves you being pregnant and late on your due date. it was the most vivid dream i've had for a long time. a lot of the time when i'm having a dream i know it's a dream, but during this dream i had no idea. it just felt so real. and of course, being the name nerd that i am, i was mad when i woke up that the dream didn't finish with the baby being born, because i wanted to know what i would have named it. (i did know that it was a girl, though.) and when i woke up, i was also sad because i don't have a baby in real life. that can be easily remedied, however, by going to clarisse's baby factory.
so this morning i thought i would commandeer my mom's camera and capture some more revenge of the sith scenes so that i can make more "anakin turning to the dark side" movies. i recorded two partial scenes, transfer them to the computer, return my mom's camera before she notices it's gone, and then discover that for some reason the videos were recorded without audio. this is not good. i still kept them, though, in case i need them for a simply musical project that doesn't involve much video audio. but it made me angry. one of them was the "good is a point of view, anakin" scene. there is so much good audio from that that i could use.
and while i'm on the subject of computer things annoying me, i have discovered that you can't do squat with midi files, except for listening to them. they're not compatible with windows movie maker (which angers me because i have so many midi clips that would make good background music), they can't be converted, and they can't be burned to cds. the only advantage to midi files is that they download quickly, even on my bad internet connection, and they don't take up that much space ("aerith's theme," the nearly-twenty-minute song, is only around 110 kb).
[EDIT: okay, since most people seem to be pissed off at me because of the whole thanksgiving thing, i thought i would clear a few things up just because i'm the kind of person who needs to have all the facts straight and doesn't like people thinking something different than what i intended. first of all, i definitely don't dislike the "giving thanks" part of thanksgiving. i do like that part. i also have nothing against the pilgrims (though my location yesterday might have suggested something different). i just don't like how most of the holiday is defined by eating food. it's kind of like how some people dislike how christmas seems to be all about commercialism and presents. i just don't like how a holiday for giving thanks is represented by stuffing yourself with a certain meal. yes, i know that you people probably still won't agree with me. but this is one of the only things that i have a major opinion on (the other, i think, would be the pointlessness of always trying to be "politically correct" and pleasing everybody), so i wanted to show it.]
