Stolen from [info]intinerant_vae

The top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing’s users. As in, they sit on the shelf to make you look smart or well-rounded. Bold the ones you've read, underline the ones you read for school, italicize the ones you started but didn't finish.

There's no underlined ones! How can this be??

*sigh*  
I wanted to finish my travel posts tonight but Photobucket is soooooo slow.

So instead I started looking at my vids and *grrrrrrrrrr*

As LadyT knows I finally finished my vid for [info]xx_squish_xx while I was at her place. And then the green lines of death appeared. They weren't visible while editing, but after publishing there they were!! I finally got back on track to fix it - and they can't be fixed.

Apparently, with Windows Movie Maker, the lines are common when you use too many transistions. I thought the whole point of the PTBs giving us transistions was for us to use them? Maybe the point is to frustrate us instead?

I'm determined now *resolved face is on*. I'm going to bite the bullet and buy a video editing program. I'm thinking PowerDirector6. Judging from the reviews it does a good job and is in my limited price range. Has anyone out there an opinion on it?
