Brian briefly thought he was going to create posed insect sculptures, and I got very whiny about it. Because, ewww.

And if this had been slapped together with the old iMovie, I’d have been able to adjust the sound more easily and you could hear Brian better. But it wasn’t.

Thar be pirates at Mardi Gras, mateys!

Just a wee snippet of Mardi Gras day on Frenchman Street; the place to be, if you ask me. You can keep Bourbon, I’ll take Frenchman.

SO, I just got back from New Orleans and I have mountains of footage on three different cameras (long story) and between the different cameras and all my compresion/codec/whatnot settings on my OLD computer that I totally forgot to write down before I left NY to put on my new computer and iMovie ‘09 which I TOTALLY dislike and have NO idea how to use and the fact that one of the cameras is a spiffy Xacti HD100 that changes everything ENTIRELY there’s been a delay in editing and posting. The jury is still out of the HD100.

You’ll likely be enjoying Mardi Gras footage for Easter.

There are some snippets shot with my photo camera I exported with the default (read “suck”) Quicktime settings that are worth posting, though, so I’ll put those up for now.

I miss New Orleans. I want a catfish po’boy like NOW.

ps: Lee’s brother was AT the second hardware store and wanted to note that it was, in fact, a yellow dress.

WEEKEND REWIND!

March 2006, the first post-Katrina Mardi Gras. Join The Three Genes for some good clean Mardi Gras fun. FYI the near-constant interruption by Ray Nagin was provided courtesy of Gene3 (aka MichaelGene) and his “Mayor in your Pocket” key chain, a popular local novelty at the time.

click here to for Quicktime if the movie won’t play when you click the picture!

Or, click here for Flash, if Flash is what works for you!

FYI, big frogs don’t usually have so many teeth. Objects in the video were closer that they appear. Seriously. There was a plank walkway along the swamp which could be crossed by aligators at any moment. I don’t know if the they ever do, but it was creepy enough to know that they could.

This tidbit is from back in May when we were still in New Orleans. I haven’t posted much in the last couple of weeks (Bad vlogger! Naughty, bad, bad!) for a couple of reasons.

A: I’ve been working and picking up OT in order to save up money to move to a bigger apartment

B: been to a delightful out of town wedding (congratulations Michael & Tara!)

C: attempting to convince my boyfriend fiancee that we should elope. That’s pretty much a full-time job in itself!

It’s also wicked hot in the Northeast–100 today– and I’m hard-pressed to be motivated to do anything more than lie very, very still and eat many, many popsicles.

I’ve also downloaded a whole mess of cool iMovie plug-ins that I’ve been fiddling with and learning how to use. All the better to vlog with, my dear.
