Ookay.So the exams are over...don't know all the results yet,but they're not good.What's worse is I am not sure I want things to work out here.I kinda really want to start something else.That's what lead to this pathetic stage of things actually.*sighs*We'll see what happens :[.

Also I finally have time on my hands*l*.So I made myself a new icon(run,Ray,run ;) ).Which lead to the making of another icon:

which,aside from not being too good,is too big :P and trying to decrease the size it turned out like that

which I'm not very satisfied with,but I don't know what to do with that size :P.
Also I made these today

and

under the influence of

brooklinegirl's post *g*.

I watched Hard Core Logo again the day before yesterday.Maybe I should have waited for a time when I wasn't so tired and downright sleepy at the end...Anyway I caught more things that second time *l*.I think reading fics also helped.Speaking of which,I need more HCL recs *makespuppydogeyesatflist*Please?:0)
I have to make some HCL icons...possibly a wallpaper,but I haven't tried to make one yet...
And I may have to not only finish the fourth DS season (but,but then it'll be over *sniff*),but re-watch at least some of the eps before I start working on that video I've been wanting to make for weeks now.
Argh it's so hot here!Maybe I'll go to the beach and plop in the sea now.It's a shame,I live in Varna and I've gone to the beach -one- time this year.Time to remedy that,yup.

Yay! No more exams.

The Paul Gross.

brooklinegirl is on crack, isn't she? *g*

You have trouble understanding HCL? I'm with you here. It's really hard if English is not your first language. I'm thinking about getting a close captured copy.

HCL recs. Hm.
Read

cesperanza's Bricked In. Read everything by

cesperanza if you haven't yet. That's her fiction site.
And try

brooklinegirl's HCL fic. And

dsudis wrote one too.

Um. That's all for now. :)

*grins*

I'm not on crack! I'm just - admiring Paul Gross. Intently.

And yay! HCL. Uhm, I have a whole set of HCL/Headstones related posts here. Estrella has a great Ray Kowalski/Billy Tallent fic here. I have a handful of HCL fic recs here (Alex's "Snow Falling" is one of my all-time favorite fics.)

And I am deeply in love with that Ray running icon. It's mesmerizing.

I'm not on crack! I'm just - admiring Paul Gross. Intently.

Hey! I like people on crack! They are totally my favorite people. It's practically an expression of love.
So there.

*huffs off to read Estrellas Ray/Billy fic*

Regalis, what's your first language? Not English? I would never have known. So, what is it about HCL that makes it hard to understand? ::curious::

Nyn, check out these HCL recs.

And I love the Ray running icons. Heeeee. ::kicks exams for you::

You have trouble understanding HCL? I'm with you here. It's really hard if English is not your first language. I'm thinking about getting a close captured copy.
well,no,not exactly trouble -understanding-,although they do speak quite quickly and proper articulation isn't their top priority *g*.But it was a bit overwhelming the first time and I'm not sure I registered everything that happenned then...I didn't pay enough attention to all the details at any case.It's true that when it's not in your first language,even if you speak it well,it's not always understandable enough the first time :].
And what is your first language then,if I may ask?
Yay,thanks for the recs,I've read only Bricked in(and some of [Unknown site tag] 's DS fics)!

Thank you for the recs!:))(omg RayK/Billy?!*gulp**nyn's mind fills with...pictures*)
And I am deeply in love with that Ray running icon. It's mesmerizing. *g*Thanks.I've been meaning to make it for a while and I have to admit that I like watching it,too*l*.It's Ray!And he's Running!;))
Also,you like PG very enthusiasticly.Nothing wrong with that ;))!

Nyn, check out these HCL recs
Ooh,thank you!!:))
*stomps over the exams**g*thanks ;)

That unknown tag was

cesperanza .

It's German. And you would know if you could hear me talk. :)

And HCL... I can't really explain it. Almost everyone speaks pretty quickly. And often rather quietly too. But normally I don't have a problem with that.

I've never seen another movie that I found that difficult to understand, actually. I've seen it about six times, I think. (*g*) And I still don't understand everything.

*shrugs*

It's true that when it's not in your first language,even if you speak it well,it's not always understandable enough the first time

It's worse, actually. I've seen more than once (about six times I think *g*). But I still don't understand everything.

And you may. :) It's German.

I ::HEART:: the German language. I seriously love the way it sounds. I studied it in high school and even dated a guy from Munich for a short time, but I retained NONE of it. ::sad:: It atrophies when you can't use it.

So what parts of HCL have you wondering? Also, is it the actual words they're saying that you can't understand, or is it the meaning of the words? Tell me which parts, and I'll try to enlighten you. *g*

::spams Nyn with LOVE::

Almost everyone speaks pretty quickly. And often rather quietly too. yes,yes-quickly and quietly!For some reason,I need to hear foreign languages louder than I need to hear Bulgarian in order to catch everything.
And *slaps head* now I realize that I knew it was German-form when you put the Viper ep for download!Sorry,my brain was soup then*g*.

And *slaps head* now I realize that I knew it was German-form when you put the Viper ep for download!Sorry,my brain was soup then*g*.

Uh. That doesn't mean anything actually. I downloaded it. I only put it up in German because it wasn't available in English.

(I also have Suspicious River in Italian and Excess Baggage with a Russian voice over)

Heheh,to quote(or,um at least approximately ;) )

c_regalis - if that's spamming,you can spam all you want anytime ;)).
It atrophies when you can't use it. Yes!That's exactly what happened to my German.I took German courses for a year and in the end was pretty good at it,but then I stopped using it and it went away :(.Although I must admit that I didn't like studying it or its sound(nothing personal!:]) too much and maybe that helped the forgetting process.Soon after that I got hooked up on Buffy through transcripts *cough*yeah what? ;] and realized they were airing it on Pro7 and I watched obsessively and a lot of the German came back -for the time-.
*l*I may watch HCL again to check if I still can't get anything and ask!:)

I ::HEART:: the German language.

Huh? That's something of a rarity. Most people don't like it too much. But hey, I'm not complaining here. :)

So what parts of HCL have you wondering? Also, is it the actual words they're saying that you can't understand, or is it the meaning of the words? Tell me which parts, and I'll try to enlighten you.

Oh, thank you. *beams* The get the meaning of the words if I understand them. So, it's the actual words that are the problem.
It's been a few weeks since I saw it the last time, so I can't come up with many things right now. But. *g* One thing I really need to know. When they are at Bucky's farm the film crew is waiting outside. What exactly does Joe say to Bruce when he comes outside. He did all this just to get Billy back? Is that right?
Oh, and another one. What does Bucky say to Billy when he gives him the guitar?

*joins in with the spamming*

Ok,I should have said -suspected- you were German *l*.But when I see someone speak or,um write German and also say in refference to itit's not very exotic for me in the same post thread I draw conclusions *lol*.Yep I feel like some kind of stalker now :0].
I also have Suspicious River in Italian and Excess Baggage with a Russian voice over *l* cool.Is excess baggage any good?That was the first other that DS CKR film I heard about years ago.Ugh russian voiceover.They usually make it too loud to hear the original sound and yet quiet enough to hear that -there is- one.And I get some Russian but not enough to be comfortable.

Yay! I fucked up the italics. Sorry about that.

Oh,don't worry I do such things all the time</> *l*

But when I see someone speak or,um write German and also say in refference to it it's not very exotic for me in the same post thread I draw conclusions *lol*.

Ah. You are right, I said that. :)

I also have Suspicious River in Italian and Excess Baggage with a Russian voice over *l* cool.

Well, I take what I can get. *g*

Suspicious River in Italian is really really annoying. I don't like Italian very much. Everyone sounds always so... upset. *g* Also I don't understand a word. :(

Regarding Excess Baggage, I have no idea. :)
I haven't seen it yet. CKR has only two or so very little scenes and there is that Russian voice over.
I actually tried to cut the CKR scenes to put them up at

ds_noticeboard. But it's some kind of compressed avi file and when I cut scenes out the frames start twitching when you try to play the file. Also the sound is asynchronous. Very asynchronous. It's the same thing with Tru Calling and Memento and some other movies. That's the reason why I put the complete episode of Viper up. If you got any idea how I can avoid that I would be really grateful.

Also, YAY! I got a stalker! :)

Spam away people,this jl's been way too quiet anyway *g*
What exactly does Joe say to Bruce when he comes outside. He did all this just to get Billy back? Is that right?
I can hear most of it...but not all :].
Joe:I kinda bulshitted you...Bucky's legs,as you can see...But fuck,Billy wouldn't have gone for any of this shit if I hadn't so...I (logged in ?? locked in?)
Bruce:So you used it to benefit money from this?
Joe:Yeah (unintelligible) fucking film (star?started??)
Bruce:What about the record company money?
Joe:I fucking lied,Bucky's got his legs back,so cheer up,chill out./goes back inside/

Huh.What program do you use for cutting files?I haven't had problems with Virtual Dub,um that's when it plays the sound at all :P and when it doesn't-WIndows Movie Maker is actually pretty handy,too.
Otherwise-maybe you could check the exact parameters of the compression and adjust the options so the outcome has the same compression?
*l*I don't like Italian either.I prefer Spanish.Not that I understand a word of either.So I even prefer German *g*.
And I'm calling the ISP tomorrow for sure!I can't upload at all,it keeps timing out!If they fix the speed,after I'm done with the BG I can post the Tru Calling and Memento parts,too.

Also, YAY! I got a stalker! :) *grins*Oh,yeah,be afraid ;))

But fuck,Billy wouldn't have gone for any of this shit if I hadn't so...I (logged in ?? locked in?)

Yep, first problem. :)

Bruce:So you used it to benefit money from this?

Aaah. I always thought: You used the benefit money for this?
And was like, huh? Benefit money? What benefit money?

Joe:Yeah (unintelligible) fucking film (star?started??)

Uh huh. That exactly what I hear. *g*

Bruce:What about the record company money?

I only understood:
Bruce:bla bla record company blabla?

Joe:I fucking lied,Bucky's got his legs back,so cheer up,chill out./goes back inside/

Yep. This one I got.

Thank you!

I work with Linux mostly. And I tried Movie Maker (windows xp) and I always got something like Codec not available. Cannot be downloaded. Please restart Movie Maker and try again. Grrr.

Virtual Dub. Hm, I have to try that one.

And I'm calling the ISP tomorrow for sure!I can't upload at all,it keeps timing out!If they fix the speed,after I'm done with the BG I can post the Tru Calling and Memento parts,too.

Hey, that's great. Do that. You got Dead Zone too?
Um, never mind. I will manage to cut the damn scenes. It can't be that hard, can it?

Sadly, I never got to use my German outside of a classroom. And I have these moments of hearing a random snippet and knowing exactly what it means, but I have more moments of "Oh, I totally used to remember what that word meant. I don't NOW, but I used to." And as for speaking it, I'm hopeless.

Stay tuned! I'm about to transcribe the HCL bits for Regalis. Mine differs a bit from yours.
