Hey, Ari. Yay for finishing Weeping!!!

Allaboutwords13 · 08-31-2011, 04:44 PM

My laptop is being overworked. haha. Still downloading Doctor Who and True Blood. And then converting.

lisalulu09 · 08-31-2011, 04:45 PM

Whatever for?

And where are you downloading from?

Arianna Sterling · 08-31-2011, 04:48 PM

Yay indeed. Thanks

Sheesh, poor laptop! Not that I can say much. I'm sitting here downloading a bunch of new anime episodes.

Allaboutwords13 · 08-31-2011, 04:48 PM

Downloading episodes because I can't afford the dvd sets at the moment. http://www.megauploadagora.com.br/

And some episodes of true blood are easier to watch if i download them rather than watch via streaming. :/

lisalulu09 · 08-31-2011, 04:50 PM

I would download from iTunes to put on my iPod if I'm going away or anything.

Allaboutwords13 · 08-31-2011, 04:55 PM

Yeah but I can't afford to download episodes from itunes at 2 odd quid each.
I convert these and then put on my ipod. lol and dang it! I just deleted something i needed -.-

Oh, no, I found it. lol

lisalulu09 · 08-31-2011, 04:56 PM

What did you need?

And if you get the standard episodes, they're about £1.80 each, same as a music video.

Allaboutwords13 · 08-31-2011, 05:01 PM

Still, i don't get them from itunes unless i have to. If i can download them online, I'm all for it. I needed like... 6 episodes of true blood i've missed. lol

Kyrie · 08-31-2011, 05:04 PM

Morning.

lisalulu09 · 08-31-2011, 05:08 PM

Hi, Ky.

Maybe I'm just an iTunes addict? Lol. But if I can get them on the 'net with subtitles, if the DVDs are unvaible yet, like the rest of Glee so far, I'd sooner do that.

Allaboutwords13 · 08-31-2011, 05:10 PM

Oh well, if you need subtitles, then of course, get them from a proper source or whatever. lol. I've bought nearly a whole season of Hannah Montana from itunes before, so it's not like I never buy from there. It's just in this case, I don't want to, if i get the box set later on.

Arianna Sterling · 08-31-2011, 05:11 PM

I just finished downloading like 30 episodes of various anime that I need to catch up on. Of course those aren't really available via anything else but streaming and my laptop doesn't like to stream, so...

lisalulu09 · 08-31-2011, 05:11 PM

Sometimes being hard of hearing means limited options. Like the cinema, subtitled films are always on at a ridiculous time!

Allaboutwords13 · 08-31-2011, 05:13 PM

Oh yeah, same when you have 3d and 2d films, and the 2d is always on either early morning ,or late at night. I HATE 3d! Well, unless it's a really big movie. Like Harry Potter. But even that wasn't worth seeing it in 3d. :/

Okay so maybe not entirely the same thing, but similar. haha

lisalulu09 · 08-31-2011, 05:14 PM

I manage, but it would be nice to have more options as to subtitles, y'know?

Allaboutwords13 · 08-31-2011, 05:17 PM

Indeed.

Arianna Sterling · 08-31-2011, 05:17 PM

Completely unrelated to anything, I just want to say that I really don't want to go to Reading Poetry today. Am going to, of course, I just don't feel like it.

lisalulu09 · 08-31-2011, 05:18 PM

Also, Ari, how are you on the 3 Act Structure?

Arianna Sterling · 08-31-2011, 05:26 PM

I completely disregard the existence of the 3 Act Structure during my writing process.

lisalulu09 · 08-31-2011, 05:30 PM

Oh. 'Cause Kat's reading the first person version of Suns and Stars 'cause I need advice, and the 3 Act Structure is one of my weakest points.

But if you want, you can join in.

Arianna Sterling · 08-31-2011, 05:32 PM

I'd be willing to read it, but I wouldn't be able to tell you anything about the structure. It's not something I pay attention to.

lisalulu09 · 08-31-2011, 05:35 PM

OK. I also want advice on the structure of the scenes - how they end, scene breaks, stuff like that - pacing and character motivation.

If you're interested (it's unfinished by the way) PM me your email address.

Allaboutwords13 · 08-31-2011, 05:38 PM

Lisa, do you want me to correct any spelling errors, or just note it?

lisalulu09 · 08-31-2011, 05:39 PM

Erm, correct them in a different colour or something.
