And I can’t think of a decent title for this entry. Oh well.

TPS goes off the Net on Sunday. *sniffle* I had a lot of fun with that site. But I’ve got plenty of other things to keep me busy so I’m not gutted or anything. I said earlier here that I can’t compete with the big boys when it comes to movie news. And that’s okay.

So what else is going on… Hey – still poor! Woohoo! Although I was recently invited to speak in front of my freelance site members and give them the basics of how to log on to their own websit/forums and for that I got a nice chunk of change. It’s all gone now though. Fecking bills. I’ve been spending inordinate amounts of time at home screencapping Kiefer films. How… sad. Why on earth am I doing that? I can’t answer that. I’ll try, but I’ll fail to explain the reasoning behind it. I discovered the joys of sccreencapping when LOTR came out and I realised there were a lot of fans wanting to capture their favourite moments of a certain actor or moment in a film. So there’s the ‘I can provide something the fans will like’ factor. As I started doing it, I discovered I was pretty good at it. Not that it takes any kind of skill, just the right equipment and a working knowledge of photo tweaking in case the scene you want is a bit blurry or dark.

Then I stopped doing it for whatever reason. Along comes 24 to provide some much-needed escapism during a rough patch in my life, and the talent and gorgeousness that is Kiefer just lends himself to screencapping. I find that I actually enjoy the tediousness of looking at a film frame-by-frame and capturing a look, clarifying some background set piece or picture, igniting the loins of the multitudes of Kieferettes out there (myself included) who demand beautiful pictures of him – it’s a bit of a rush really. I like all the editing – no, I love it. I love to capture an image and stick it into my software and make it better. I love to take sound files and mix them, edit them and make them available for the drooling masses (and yes I count myself among them.) And in the process I can forget my troubles for a few hours every night. It’s a win-win really.

Anyway I told you I’d fail to explain it properly and I still probably come off as quite sad for doing it. I don’t care much though. It’s a hobby, a weird one, but a hobby nonetheless and it keeps me off the streets 🙂

Ugh I put far too much Smiths on my Winamp. So depressing.Ah – Falco, Rock Me Amadeus in German. Much better. Very peppy 🙂 Anyway I’m not getting much work done right now so I’d better snap to it.
