The best scenes in the "Intolerable Cruelty" movie that I compiled together for our "Rushie" viewing pleasure, has been removed from YouTube.

I know some of you here have been victimize by YouTube removing your videos and now I can join that club! I knew it would happen to me sooner or later. Now I can truly relate to your frustrations.



 


I feel more pissed, because it was my first time editing from an actually movie, so I had alot of trouble getting the editing just right and then I was having problems uploading it. Dailymotion immediately blocked me for copyright infringements, but it took 5 download attempts and 6 hours until I figured that out. Then I tried YT and it took an hour to download, but it worked...unitl now. To make matters worse, my original copy of that video file, which I had stored on my hard drive, was lost when my computer crashed a few months ago. My video is totally gone now. UGH!!!

They're pointing the finger at the copyright owner (Universal), but whoever is to blame I curse them with a lifetime of diarrhea!!!  In the words of Donovan..."YOU WHORE!!!"

That concludes the end of my venting session for the day...thank you for reading.
 

My goodness, if it's not trains crashing into each other, it's now fires in my neighborhood. On Monday, fast blowing winds caused multiple fires that swept through southern California and 3 of those fires were right in my area. I board my two horses at a stable that was right in the path of the fire.

I was at work watching the News station on television, and they News was only showing one fire a few miles from my ranch, and I figured it was safe at the time and I'll go to the stables on my lunchbreak to check the hores. Suddenly, the News station goes to footage of another fire that just erupted right next to my stables!! At that same moment, I get a call from a friend saying "The ranch is on fire!! Get over here!!" Thankfully, I didn't get into a car accident on the way there with my erractic driving.

By the time I got there, my two horses were already evacuated, but I stayed to help evacuate the other horses and ponies. They had taken all the horses out of the stalls, and put them in the riding arena and turned on the water sprinklers, until the rescue horse-trailers got there. The smoke was so intense...I'm still coughing and having trouble breathing. When the last horse was loaded in a trailer, I then went to the refuge stables to find my two horses. I was relieved they were both OK and safe.

As the hills behind my stable were burning, embers were flying everywhere and one landed on a stack of hay bales and burst into flames! Right next to it were tack sheds (where boarders keep their tack and equipment) and two sheds were burned to the ground. Meanwhile, as the firemen fought the burning hay bales, myself and other boarders and volunteers evacuated horses out of the riding arena only a few meters from the flames. I was actually surprised how calm the horses were. They were nervous, but not freaking out.

We took the horses to a nearby college that had an equestrian department with corrals and they housed our horses for 24 hours until the fires passed our stable. 

I'm happy to say no horses were hurt at my stable, but other stables weren't so lucky, I heard 3 horses died and a few people burned trying to rescue them. My horses are now back home and things are getting back to normal.

Here are two videos. The first video is my boarding stable catching fire. Checkout the young fireman, he is CUUUUUTE!!!  My boarding stable isn't the nicest looking place, but it's cheap and they feed the horses well and it's close to my house.

(Sorry I couldn't embed the video, but the YT user disabled it).

This second video is us walking the horses down the highway to trailers. I'm the one walking two horses (a brown one and a black one) behind the big tall grey horse.  

Now I have to spend the weekend getting caught up with my studies, I have a midterm on Monday and I haven't even studied at all.

Well, that explains why I haven't been around LJ lately. I hope the rest of you ladies had a better week then I did.

Have a good weekend everyone!!

Hello Girls!!

Sorry I haven't been around lately. This class I'm taking for night school is kicking my butt and it's taking alot of my free time away. I miss LJ,  I miss my Rushie friends, and most of all, I miss my web sister, Cate .

I haven't posted an entry in a while, so my first one in a long time has to be of Barbossa. I'm happy that there will be another POTC and I hope we'll see alot of Barbossa and learn more about his character.

There was a terrible train wreck in my hometown of Chatsworth on Friday. A freight train hit a passenger train head on and killed 20 people . Ironically hours earlier I was riding my horse on the dirt path along the train tracks right where the accident took place.  On weekdays, I usually ride my horse after work, around 4-5pm, but that day I took the morning off from work and rode earlier then usual. I'm so glad I did...the trains collided at 4:23pm and if I rode during my usual time, me and my horse could've been hurt or possibly killed. Aside from the train cars de-railing, debris went flying everywhere.

Today after the wreck, the police had many streets blocked off and they spent all day clearing out the wreck. I rode my horse on top of a hill and watched below, it was rather surreal to see such destruction...it looks much more dramatic in person then seeing it on the TV news. 

It's going to be creepy to ride down that trail along the tracks again after this.

Even angry and baring those yelllow-greenish teeth, Hector is still sexy ;)

There's not enough hours in a day...I didn't get half of what I wanted to accomplish this weekend done. I feel like Barbossa in this pic: red-eye, tired, and frustrated. Now Monday is upon us, the busiest ugliest day of the week for me (as some of you may know :/  ). I better get to bed and get some rest.

Well, I hope you all had a pleasant weekend.  Take care all and best wishes for the week!! :)  


 

My laptop computer, that has all my Geoffrey pics and screen cap from his movies, crashed and won't work!!!!!!!!!!!!! That will explain why I haven't been around latley...I was trying to fit it myself...but no luck.

I'll try to save the hard drive before I take it in to be fix professionally...so wish me luck that I won't lose valuable "Geoffrey" data!
