I Don't Think Our House Likes Us Anymore

So, yikes. At least now I can't say I have nothing to post about. We've got some serious looking problems here at the House of Two Foo's (Foo & Mrs Foo, that is). Rain has become our sworn nemesis and frequent tormentor. My digital camera's on the fritz again, so here comes another video. This time, I used my less fancy analog Hi8 camcorder and captured it using the marvelous little dynamo, the Adaptec Gamebridge TV. I'll let the video do the rest of the explaining...

P.S. - I just want to add that I'm pretty proud of what I accomplished here in this post. I shot this video sometime after 8:00 PM, captured it, edited it, converted it to Flash video, gave it the little buttons, uploaded it and fixed a dozen little mistakes I made along the way. It's now about 10:10 PM and it's a fully finished product. It's even well behaved...it doesn't start itself when you load the page, it waits for you, patiently, to hit the play button. Hm. Go me.

I guess that goes to show what a little motivation can do. I wanted to make sure I got this up on the blog tonight because there's really nothing I can do to make this house situation better at this moment and I feel like doing this is as close as I can get to doing something.

This is gonna be a tough few weeks. It's kind of a "when it rains, it pours" deal, here. Figuratively and literally. We were already completely wiped out, financially, when the laptop broke and needed to be fixed. Our 2nd wedding anniversary is Sunday and we took all of next week off (Thanksgiving week, so really just 3 days as far as A. Duie Pyle is concerned) and had all types of plans to go out and do fun things, etc., to celebrate. Now it looks like we'll be spending a week looking at a hole in our ceiling because at least that's free. But...as I said in the video, things could get a lot worse. The biggest damage is in a room we don't really live in everyday, so life can pretty much go on as normal once we get the stuff cleaned up. Still...bleh.
