Rot Your Teeth Pie

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

It’s Halloween and you know what that means. Time for costumes and what else, candy! If you think you don’t possibly have enough candy or the candy just isn’t doing it for you and want something extra special then check out this pie! This pie has got miniature Reese cups, Hershey’s chocolate and cheesecake all in one pie! It’s a frozen treat that I am sure will please you and your guests. When Christmas comes around, dye it green instead of orange!

Rot Your Teeth Pie

I do hope you enjoy this pie and hope you have a Happy and safe Halloween. The ingredients for this pie are simple but you can add more to it. I had originally intended to decorate this pie with candy corn but the store was sold out! This was a really good pie and it was gone very quickly. Hope you enjoy it!

Hidden Sky

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

On Friday my Grandma and Grandpa came over and visited with us for a little while. I had been wanting to go out to my Mamaw Ruby’s to take some photos. I went home with them and walked back home. As I walked back home I went by the pond in my Mamaw Ruby’s field. I sat on the porch swing and recorded a video journal entry. I then walked up to the church and took a few pictures then walked on home.

By the time I got home I was exhausted, much like I am now after being in the kitchen for four hours, but that’s another story. Anyways, I put this video together with some music that I have been enjoying all week, several of the photos I took and of course the video journal entry I made which I placed in the middle of this video.

I hope you enjoy the music selection I chose. I have been listening to Jamie Sieber all week and absolutely love her music. I purchased the “Hidden Sky” album from Magnatune and thankfully Magnatune allows you to use their music for your productions (make sure you read the license terms before you do) because they are not evil! The track I chose for this video is “Hidden Sky.” You can listen to the entire album on Magnatune for free! If you like it, support the artist and purchase her music.

For the production of this video I used InterVideo WinDVD Creator, which is what I have been using other than the previous video. My trial copy of Sony Vegas Pro 8 expired so I had to go back to what I was using. In the video I mention getting water and I wanted to put that clip up over me real quick. I thought that would have been neat. Oh well. Anyways, I enjoyed this one and hope you will as well. Stay tuned!

Fountain of Life

Friday, October 19th, 2007

If you’ll recall from “The Drive Home” we drove over a bridge with water underneath. A couple of weekends ago I went back down there and took some video and photos of the river. I’ve finally gotten a video put together from that Sunday drive down to the river. I added some background music and also some of the photos I took. This is my first video I created using Sony Vegas Pro 8. I have been using the trial and like it a lot. Too bad I won’t be able to continue using it since it costs an arm and a leg!

The background music for this video is “Fountain of Life (Lean On It Mix) - DJ Anser” which you can listen to at Magnatune. I am very appreciative of the fact that Magnatune has Creative Commons licenses on their music so I can add legal music to my videos. Thanks, Magnatune.

Through The Glass Darkly

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

In this audio journal entry I talk about a biblical passage from I Corinthians and read a couple of paragraphs about it’s meaning wrote by Deborah Cullins Smith. In this audio entry I also talk about artistic expression and ask whether an artist is suppose to criticize their work. Other topics are discussed as I work my way through the house doing cooking and washing. It’s about an hour long, I have some nice music and audio clips at the end for your enjoyment, so be sure to stick around for those.

Looking out onto the road

The song at the end is Wataridori 2 by Cornelius from The Wired CD. It’s a great song, one of my absolute favorites from the CD. It’s a Creative Commons licensed song that you can download, alter and share.

The PSA at the beginning of this audio entry was produced by Rebecca Nay of Tranny Wreck Radio. Please contact your representatives and urge them to oppose a non-inclusive ENDA bill. Send an email to your representative, it’s quick and easy! Do it now! Listen to Rebecca’s latest podcast and also Ethan St.Pierre’s latest podcast with Marti Abernathey for more on this issue.
