Woo Hoo Episode 1 of the Amontillado Group

Alright! Finally got some videos uploaded. One of many!

This first Episode of the Amontillado Group is about online dating. It’s about a 30 minute conversation. Figure this is a good amount of time for these. Hopefully these videos aren’t that bad; it’s a learning experience right? Gotta start somewhere.

Amontillado Group, for those that do not know, is simply the name that Valmonuni and I came up with to represent ourselves. There’s a bit of back story behind the name, but that’s not too important.

So yeah, hopefully this will turn into an ongoing thing. And maybe just maybe people will like it and watch more of it.

Oh well.

Laters.

Part 3

Massive Fail

So Valmonuni and I recorded 100 minutes of footage last night. This was done in ten 10-minute segments. Was really excited to encode them this morning and start editing them. However when I went to encode them I found out that none of Val’s audio was recorded. So really, all I have is about 30 minutes of me talking and 70 minutes of me listening.

UGH

So sad. So sad to lose so much footage to such a stupid thing. I guess from now on there has to be a mic check and footage check throughout the recording.

MAN sucks sooo much. I mean yeah it was a 100 minutes of footage that may or may not have been good. And who knows if any of it would have been entertaining enough to put online, but still…. ugh 100 minutes. dammit!

Oh well. … It’s a learning experience. I guess.

Online Video

So I’ve decided to start posting online video.

Going to start with home movies and a few web show projects I’m working on.

Figured, I’d blog about it since, I’ll be using my Error42 accounts a lot more often for this.

Not sure if any of this will go anywhere, but you never know. Either way I’m thinking it’ll be a lot of fun.

Zombie Dream.

last night i had a dream we (don and i)  were running away from whatever city we lived in because it was overtaken by zombies.  we had left a few of our friends back at our apartment, locked in the basement because they had been bitten.  i think one of them was sheva from resident evil 5 hahaha.  even though people were turning into zombies they could still talk and we were looking for a cure.  we decided we need to go back to our apartment so we did and it was weird.  we were just living in this apartment with our zombie friends in the basement locked up.  the people that were left in the town were trying to resume to normal life, stores were reopening.  once in awhile a herd of zombies would come in and attack.  then our lock on our door broke.  i had to go to ace hardware to get a new lock.  we couldn’t figure out how to fix it and at one point zombies were trying to break in.  don was stabbing them with a knife and i had a pair of scissors…then i woke up..it was weird.

Honeymoon-Sightseeing in Athens, Acropolis, Plaka, and Protests!

Today we woke up at 645 so we could be ready to be picked up at 8 for our Athens sightseeing excursion. The bus drove us by many of the sites and then we got out at the new acropolis museum. We had a guided tour through the museum and then we were free to roam for awhile until we walked up to the acropolis. The museum was cool, outside you could see the archaeologists working underneath the museum..here’s a picture.

The walk to the acropolis was pretty amazing. The sights were so beautiful and a little scary because the marble was slick! We took a lot of pictures.

And then came down for lunch in the plaka. The plaka was the first place where we had people begging us for money. Mostly children begging. At the restaurant where we ate children would come up to you and play music for money, but the restaurant staff kept kicking them out. It was sad. The meal that I had here though was one of my favorites in Greece, stewed meatballs and rice.

We had the rest of the day to do whatever so we decided to take the tram and go to the coast. It was hard for us to figure out how to pay for the tram but I guess we did it right! We rode to the end but there wasn’t really anything there so we got back on and got off at a marina. The marina was beautiful and had a nice little mall. We left the marina and walked the coast for a bit. We saw people fishing, swimming and snorkeling. It made me want to snorkel!

Of course on our walk we found cats!

Then we took the train back to the plaka right in front of the parliament building. There was a protest happening here and it was cool to see. There were tons of police and riot police. Luckily it wasn’t violent.

Then we walked back to the hotel and started packing. Around 830 we saw a sign saying there would be a strike for cabs and all public transportation the next day. We were a little worried this would interfere with our ride to the airport. Luckily there was a Gate 1 representative at the front desk and she told us not to worry they would send a private bus to pick us up.

We went to a little place and got some gyros and beer to bring back to the hotel for our last night in Greece. It was the best gyro I’ve ever had; even though I’ve only had a few…it was amazing! It was hard to believe our honeymoon was ending, it was amazing. I never dreamed I would go to Greece for my honeymoon. It was the best experience. After eating we went to sleep to await our 230 wake up call to go to the airport.
