Did the Punk Rockers Remember The Triscuits?

“It's no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favorite films wouldn't even speak to each other if they met at a party.”--Nick Hornby

We are all a lot of different records in this class. There's some classical, some country, some rocking tunes, and something that sounds like it's from "Brigadoon." And the thing is, there are certain songs that can get along with one another, or play pretty for a short time, but they wouldn't gravitate at a dinner party. Throwing Muses could never share chips and dip with Michael Bolton, for instance. No, Throwing Muses would just point and laugh...Michael Bolton probably double dips. And who the heck invited John Tesh???

MovieMaker is pretty awesome, but damn tedious, too. It's hard to pile all of these different tech proficiency levels and expect order. Those who are very proficient revolt, those mildly proficient wander in and out, and those who still struggle are squelching, "what? Do that again! J---AAAAAAAAAA---SONNNNNNNNN!" Poor Jason.

The demos were outstanding and made the day go by fast. I was surprised when it was time for lunch. The time is ticking on my own demo. I'm just ready to do it. It is what it is, at this point.

This is a great program, though. I love this. Can you only do the SI once? I mean, what if we want to come back?? What's next? I don't want this to end....
