riverdressesFIRSTLY! Since I haven't been updating much, I haven't had a chance to let m'dearest ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nentari know that I received a lovely surprise in my postbox recently! Will you forgive my sloppiness, sweetheart? I adore my book so much & I'm very touched that you sent it to me. Thankyou so much, love! ::hugs you::
It's been indescribably hot here for the past four, nearly five days; as in ninety degrees right here in San Francisco. It's been so intense that I can barely sleep at night & I've been getting rather dizzy & headache-y at night. It's been lovely out, but just too hot.
Went to lunch with the lovely girl I work with & my physician/boss/neighbour. She said the office had been doing so much better, so we could celebrate. It was a very nice lunch in a very nice cafe & the three of us had a splendid time. I also learnt a touch about wine with a few sips of a rather nice white wine. & happily, it didn't taste like furniture polish or make me want to cringe after I tasted it.
(I'm really bad with wine, actually; I sort of hate it. Champagne or something cute & mixed for me please! Or a Guinness.)
Speaking of being out & about with people, I think my own return to nightlife is going to be a lot sooner than I had originally thought it would be. Ideally, I would have liked to return this very week, but I think I'll give it perhaps a couple more weeks, if not just one more.
I'll probably feel the mad sense of panic when I'm actually on my way there, but right now . . . I don't feel any of that. Rather, I feel kind of excited to go back. White Zinfandel & Gauloises on Thursdays again. ♥
Also, I have a question for my dears! Does anyone use GOMPlayer to screencap things? KMPlayer's display kept fucking up when I tried to cap my Smallville DVDs & of course, VLC is kind of useless when it comes to screencapping, I find, unless I want to do it all manually, which I don't.
GAAAAAAAAAAAH, WHY IS SCREENCAPPING SO FRUSTRATING FOR ME. ::growls::
& curiously enough,wordsindreams has suggested that I return to Twitter (I've rather abandoned it) & well, I'll be seeing everyone there soonish, I do believe! At least my Twitter app will get a little use now . . .

Date: 2010-09-29 06:39 pm (UTC)LOL! I'm the opposite. I can't drink champagne much or I'll feel like puking. Meanwhile I LOVE wine ... especially red :D
I wish I could help re the screencapping. I never even heard of GOMPlayer. I have VLC, but it bugs me because it doesn't pause instantly for you to get a screencapture, so you might miss a specific moment. Have you ever tried IrfanView? I've heard good things about that.

Date: 2010-09-30 04:40 am (UTC)Teeeehee! I could drink nothing but champagne for the rest of my days, but I might just run away from wine. But I still plan to try White Zinfandel - it sounds like I might actually like it. :D
It seems like a LOT of people haven't heard of GOMPlayer; I can't find any tutorials for it at
