1) the reason the files were getting errors when i saved directly to the external in method like umpty-zillion that I tried was that Z had made a mistake in setting up the workaround thingy to save files over 4 GB to the external. But then he fixed it and it worked. One of the two worked, anyway. So I am in the process of recompressing and then I can burn that as a DVD. Maybeish. Probably. Anyway, 30-40% chance I can get it done by tomorrow.
2) I won two free tickets to DC tomorrow in the drawing they did! Yes!!! I didn't know how many people entered so I don't know what the odds were, but I had decided not to go, and then had realized that I need to have meetings with like everyone who's going to be on the bus so if I went I could get way more done, so basically I needed to go, even though I'd decided I was way too tired, too broke, and too busy. So winning tickets at least meant that the broke part is taken care of, and the meetings I'm going to have will help with the too busy. I'm going to bring a power strip and work the whole way down with the head ref on reverse-engineering the jam stats from the last bout, which they didn't write down during the bout-- I know, WTF?????-- but i won't complain too much because I feel like our refs are really working super-hard this season and making great progress. I just don't grok how they have so many people and yet can't write down stats! It seems weird. But I suppose they just finally have enough people to man the outside fully-- it does take a lot of folks-- and not so many with time for pencils. Anyway. So we're going to figure it out looking at the video.
Hopefully I will also have time to bang through a bunch of the stuff for the next bout's raw footage, while I'm at it. Because that's what I need to do this weekend and if I can get it done while on a stupid-long car ride, so much the better. I need some sort of talisman against motion sickness.
So I am victorious.
Z needed to get out of the house so we went to dinner tonight at our favorite place. It was busy. I had a beer. Then we went to the grocery store to pick up some travelin' snacks. By the time we got to the pop aisle I was leaning on the cart handle. I have been literally stammering with weariness all the way home. I need to sleep NOW.
I guess I'm packing tomorrow. Here's hoping I don't oversleep or I'll be going nude to DC.
But anyway-- victory!! huzzah!!!
