Penguicon 7.0 Fortunata 2009, Take Two
The original video used a fragment of a well-known cantata, with credit given to the composer, performers, et cetera. Which did not meet definition of "fair use", and the video was pulled from Youtube. This is the reposted, with no change to the image sequence. The new music comes from the fragment selections licensed for use with Premiere.

Blood Donation #35
Looks like I've made my 35th lifetime blood donation. Seems to be getting harder and harder to do it. The veins aren't working as well as they used to, plus apparently my blood iron doesn't bounce back like it used to anymore.
Today's donation went pretty slick. They had both the Sunflower/Flint Hills rooms that they had during the summer and the normal Ballroom space. People who made appointments went to the smaller Sunflower/Flint Hills rooms, and walk-ins went to the Ballroom.
There was no waiting to check-in or to give blood. It went fast...though it was kind of lonely not seeing all the other people giving blood.

Who the F*** is Corey Cole
And, why do bill collectors keep calling me for him/her....I've had this number for over a year now. Nobody listens to my OGM....they just keep asking for him/her, and then think that I'm supposed to get him/her to call them. Well, guess where they can go....

Another K-State Federal Credit Union FAIL.
Today, I had another FAIL with K-State Federal Credit Union.
I went to deposit a check from my parents, something I've done often with my other bank without any problems.
The teller stares at the check for a while, and then asks me my account information and then wants me to endorse the check.
But, then says it can't be deposited. Goes off and comes back saying it'll take up to a month before it can be deposited. And, wants to know if I still want to deposit it.
Well, she made me endorse it already.
And, then there's no sign that I did the deposit....so I have to take it on faith that when the check clears, it'll be deposited into my savings account? And, that I'm not going to get any notice one way or the other?
If they weren't going to accept the check, they shouldn't have made me endorse it first. I would then have had no problem with going to a different bank to deposit the check.
Remind me what were the advantages of being in a credit union, instead of a real bank?

HIS Free Furniture Giveaway
Helping International Students had their annual Free Furniture Giveaway this year on August 30th. Postponed from August 23rd due to rain.It was interesting to see what all furniture was being given away, and that it was more than just furniture. Makes me wonder if I should rethink my upgrade plans.
Like someday I want to follow through on my threat to just have a recliner sitting in the middle of my living room in front of the TV. But, that calls for the displacement of the futon that currently occupies the spot. I've debated on whether it would move to another part of my condo, or find its way out to the trash. But, the giveaway gives me another option. Wonder if I'll get a new cover for it in the mean time?
Elsewhere, it does have me wondering if I could've found a new home for my old dryer...instead of having it hauled off. Too late for that, but it does make me wonder about other future upgrades. Guess it would depend on the process of having the goods taken off of my hands, etc.Also I thought I saw things like clothes being available. I threw a whole pile of pants and shorts out soon after moving here to Manhattan, on account that I've gained a little weight starting the job at K-State. Actually, there's another growing pile of pants and shorts...and shirts now...forming since the expansion has continued.
Plus there's probably that pile of household gadgets I buy, that after I get...I find I have no use for it or that some better gadget has come along.
Hmmm....
On another subject, it did also make me think about getting my driver's license...and maybe owning some vehicle so that I could help out with the transportation of stuff, etc.
