Just checking in. Need to do a few things with the music page. Watch for more available downloads and more tunes on the streaming jukebox.
Hello there

The latest movie is up.
Check out the latest movie over at the videos page. It has a Star Wars theme, pays tribute to a few loved ones gone by, features the garden, the dog and baseball.
The only thing I’ll say is that I sat with this one longer than usual. The general idea was basically repeated chronologically, gardening, followed by baseball, followed by Eve and Karen. After the editing, other stuff came up, like an inpatient chemo infusion, so there was no opportunity or pressure to wrap up. Then, last night, after having a perfectly shitty afternoon, Em kinda suggested that I take another look, especially since we’ve basically got enough ‘footage’ to get going on the next one.
I like what I’ve done with this and I think I’m getting used to being at this plateau with iMovie. Rather than looking for big ways to alter the raw minutes of film, I’m just trying to polish and embellish the the skills i have. The normal pattern had been: intro, chapters, conclusion. Here, I added to the intro so now there are really two intros. The transitions between the chapters and the editing within chapters is pretty much what I’ve been doing all along. Same kind of snipping.
As far as conclusions go, I’m most fond of the re-cap at the end of the Liam Finn movie (#4). The conclusion for #7 feels like a bit of a cop-out, but it seemed important to get Opie in there – I’ve been thinking about her a lot lately. I wanted to end #6 with a clear Cylon defeat, but I can only work with what we have. Convenient excuse. At least Kara kicked one Cylon’s butt.
The latest…
It occurs to me that every post could have this title…
I haven’t posted the next movie yet. We saw some great Phillies games and Em’s Dad is in town. She’s back on inpatient yesterday and today, so that’s really the focus of activity. She seems to be doing well at the moment, but we’ll see what the weekend holds, as the white count is a bit low.
Other than that, Passover is pretty much here, and Dorothy and her family will be following shortly. That should be interesting. We’ll see how much activity I’m up for, as far as Seders and what not.
Other than that, work has mellowed out a bit, but there’s a civil rights case that needs some TLC after yesterday’s plaintiff deposition. The client did well, but I want to set it up right. Maybe I’ll call my new friend Dr. Goldstein.
Latest ‘Cancer’ Movie not really about cancer
What a whirlwind weekend pf activity, as Em is feeling good and on her end-of-cycle break from treatment. This means that she was gardening on Thursday, at a Phillies game on Saturday and entertaining friends from out of town on Sunday – whew! I’m tired just talking about all of that. The thing is, the more good stuff she can do, the better it makes her feel.
So now we have enough clips to do a movie out of those three events. No needles, no blue tubes, no purple gloves, no chemo. A cancer movie with no cancer? That’s something new.
Expected to be done shortly. In the meantime, enjoy the Spring!
Frazier settled
OK – that’s nice. I’ll get to catch my breath this weekend. In the meantime, the number is not what I would have hoped for, but that’s the nature of compromise. If I’m learning anything, I want a case to be set up just right in order to take it to trial. What do we have for Sherwood? Looks like that’s next.
Trial Madness
Frazier might be about ready to settle. I know my reluctance is related to the bad outcome from Barsky, but this isn’t the right case on which to take a flyer. This isn’t the right plaintiff. On the other hand, if we have to go, I feel like there is a lot going in our favor. Plus, I’m curious to try a case with Kevin and Litsa – always a lot to learn.
As of now, we’re on for tomorrow. So I’m going to finish my Requested Points For Charge now.
One Half the Battle
These continue to be a lot of fun. Here’s the latest movie. Em is now half way done with chemo!
OK – that could have gone better
Barsky trial was a defense verdict, with no viable option for appeal. Ugh. Client is obviously not happy with outcome, but, as disappointed as I am, I’m still glad for the experience of doing a jury trial in NJ. Now I’m ready for anything.
Which is good, because we’re picking a jury in Frazier tomorrow! That’s Philly, but the stakes are a little higher this time. Let’s put on a good show!
Woah, woah, woah!
Lots going on – no time to talk! Barsky trial is beginning thrid and final day tomorrow. We’ll see how things go for my first jury trial in NJ.
The new video is up. Here’s the link. I’ll embed it later and Em can send it around via email, planet cancer, etc.
Phils won today – beat the beloved (sic) Mets 5-3 today. Fantastic!
Ferrari pulled out the Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday. Kubica choked on his start and let the Ferrari’s gobble him up. Nice to see Massa turn things around after a few problems in the first two races. Of course, neither he nor Kubica are on the fantasy team. Oh well…
Categories and Pages
They don’t seem to get along. I want all motorsport posts to automatically apperar on the motorsport page. That could happen if the motorsport page was not a ‘Page’. Thins being the way they are now, what I really need is to put the pull down on the main page and that will automatically generate an archive page that has the content I desire. Let’s try that.
