Please rise! The Hon. Judge Swampgirl, Presiding!

The events transpired on the evening of April 10th, 2008 and persisted for two days with lingering effects for weeks. Being filed today are 51 counts of gross misconduct and artistic obscenity with intent to disturb the peace.

I hit the hot button today, to see what i've missed during the week, and EVERYTHING, I mean *EVERYTHING* is music from my youth that I absolutely HATED when it was new. I'm FIFTY, for christ's freaking sake! What happened? I feel like I'm being hunted across the moors by hounds or something! Someday someone is going to find you people and play Britney Spears and Celine Dion at you until you crack!

Then i look at the Top Sifts, and the highest vote is in the thirties. My sift has been perverted!

I BLAME THE CHEESE!


---------------------------------------------------------
Also for entry into the Court’s records-

Surgery Sift
This queue was inspired by Snoozedoctor, who encouraged me to “go medical” after the sleep sift. There were some very interesting comment threads in some of them, and spurred some other interesting posts.

Sift Patrol
This was probably one of the hardest to put together, because it’s so difficult to find anything other than videos that (A)depicted police officers as evil oppressors of the people or (2) mawkish, maudlin tributes to heroes. Tried to focus on their daily challenges and as usual something oldey for Swampgirl’s Vintage Channel.

Video Editing Software - Recommendations?
posted by schmawy 5 months 2 weeks ago • 297 views

Don't know a darn thing about it, but shot video at a friends performance, with two cameras and separate sound and am looking for entry level, inexpensive video editing software to try to put it all together on a PC (I know, I know, if I had a Mac this wouldn't be an issue).

Any ideas? Comments would be much appreciated.
