I came across the cutest thing today. This person set up a puppy cam on their Shiba Inu puppies and it's just so adorable. You guys just have to give it a look...

My muse left me again.  She is so flaky lately.  I can't seem to keep her around long enough to get anything accomplished.  I am maybe halfway through a video for the challenge over on Kawoosh and I can't seem to find the energy to finish it.  I have no creativity at the moment... :(  This is a sad month for vidding.  Maybe something will hit me later.  Even if it's too late for the challenge I would still like to finish it.  It's been a while since I've finished a video.

Well, there are a few things that are new this week.  The new kawoosh challenge is up and running.  Its a single secondary character challenge and for specifics go HERE, the challenge is running until Oct 14th so you have plenty of time to submit a video for this.  Unfortunately my muse left me over a month ago and she has yet to return to me.  I have a character in mind just not a song so *fingers crossed* I hope I can enter this challenge.

Also, I have kept up with the working out thing.  Now that I've gotten use to the machine and I'm sure I'm not going to fall off of it I was going to get weights to hold while using it.  We will see how that goes.  I've already lost 3 pounds which I am happy about.  I am going to try to eat better than I have been which will be a challenge in itself, I love food.  I have already started to, kinda... We've been cooking more so far less eating out, which is also saving money so thats a plus :)

I guess thats all I had to talk about... Life really isn't very chaotic at the moment, which is a good thing.

Over at Kawoosh they've decided to choose the next challenge a little differently.  That is in the form of a vote!!  You have three choices to choose from but you only have until Sept. 14th so I suggest you hop on over there and cast your vote. I look forward to seeing all the amazing videos.

Ok so I decided it was about time that I start to get in shape.  We have been eating out far to much and not getting nearly enough actual movement throughout the day.  Working in front of a computer all day will do that to you but thats not an excuse its just a reason to get motivated.... Which I am trying to be?!  Anyway, this quasi motivation came about when I came across some guys blog that said he walked The X-Files in 6 months, meaning he walked on his treadmil watching each episode of the series' 9 seasons and the first movie.  That's what gave me the idea to attempt it :)

I am what you might call a dvd series junky.  I own the entire series of The X-Files(9), Buffy(7), Angel(5), Gilmore Girls(7), Stargate SG-1(10), Stargate Atlanits(4 so far), and believe me when I say MANY more.  I admit I have a problem but thats not the issue at hand.  So, after reading that this guy was able to walk The X-Files I realized that I could do that.  That would give me an excuse to watch all my shows and get in shape.  The only thing I needed was a machine small enough to fit in the living room... Problem!!

I ruled out treadmil (way to big and expensive) so I set my focus on ellipticals.  They aren't as big as treadmils but I didn't really find one that I liked and I didn't want to take up all the floor space and I was about to give up on that when I came across the Inmotion e1000 elliptical which is great and soundless!!!

I figured I would keep you up to date on my progress, assuming that I keep with it but maybe this will give me more incentive.  So today was the first day I tried it and I was happy with my stamina, I had it on the lowest tension but I did lasted the entire length of the show and probably could have gone for another hour but I didn't want to over do it my first day.


( day one statistics )

I was just watching Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog for the hundredth time and I figured I should spread the word to those who haven't seen it yet.  It's an amazing bit of musical fun and it's incredibly funny..  So this is me spreading the word.... If you like superheros or villains and if you like musicals then this is for you!!!

Ok, so I'm officially upset with the new episode of Bones.  I mean it was a good episode and Booth was funny but...
( spoilers after cut )

Stargate Atlantis will continue through the end of this season but SciFi has canceled the series. Read the article, HERE.  It talks about Atlantis movies and there's always the third series to look forward to  :(

Well, I woke up to a great morning.  I was just checking youtube and it turns out the BudongChowBC closed their account so I take that as a huge win for me. :)  I just don't understand what a person can gain by pretending to be someone else?!  Anyway, I'll be leaving for a week long vacation to San Diego tomorrow so no work for me which gives me great joy!!  And Breaking Dawn came out today so I was going to stop by Books A Million and pick it up so that I can  have something to read on the flight tomorrow.

The votes are being tallied for the Crossover Challenge on Kawoosh and as soon as the results are posted I will post a link.  I'm looking forward to the next challenge, my muse has left me in kind of a slump as far as vidding goes.  Lets hope it doesn't last too long.

Now that my problem is mostly resolved I am determined to help others resolve their problems... There are two particularly terrible people on youtube as Gatekeeperdude and Nightstrider25.  Gatekeeperdude stole at least two of the three videos posted on his page, one of them even has the credits of the person who created it, and the tags are for a completely different show (did this person even watch the video he uploaded?) They are the Savin' Me and the Smooth Criminal video. The other is Nightstrider25, at least 3 of the videos have been identified as belonging to someone else.  Is Nothing Sacred Anymore (which I think is rather ironic), I'm With You, and What Hurts the Most.  This person is more difficult as they disabled comments on their page. I would suggest for this person, should you choose to help, sending them messages, flagging their video as inappropriate, or sending messages to the people who comment on the videos. 

To get you in the mood to help take these people down, go here

Help get the word out!!!

BudongChowBC on youtube has removed my videos!!! Now if only I can get them to recreate their account using their own name instead of mine things will be fantastic.  Not sure how I am going to do that though, looks like they have disabled comments. But I do have to say it was a very welcome surprise this morning. :)  

Thank you everyone that helped me out on this matter.  I would ask anyone to contact me though if you come across anyone else posting my videos up as theirs.... You should only see my videos here, on kawoosh, or dailmotion under budongchow.  Thanks again!!!

A person pretending to be me on youTube as BudongChowBC has stolen four of my videos and my name and pretended that they are hers.  I don't have a youTube account and I haven't for a long time.  I'm just so mad that she did that.  I put time and effort in to making them and I can't believe that someone would disregard that so completely.  I'm sure that person doesn't even know where the name Budong Chow came from.  It pisses me off that someone would be so lazy and talentless that they would try to pass themselves off as someone else.  I can tell you intimate details of each video when I made them, why I made them.  I also have them linked here far before she stole them and passed them off as her own.  I just hate the fact that she stole my name.  I make sure to stick my name and a watermark on my videos so that they don't get stolen but there is little I can do when they create a variation of my name and use that. 

This is a bigger problem then I thought.  I only started looking because I read on the Kawoosh forum that this was happing to a bunch of people.   I didn't think I would find anything but within a few seconds of searching.... MY VIDEOS on this losers site.  It just really bothers me.  I hope that none of you have to deal with this problem but if you do would you let me know how you handle it?  I left comments on her videos and her youtube account but I am only one person and short of annoying her to death with posts saying this video is stolen I don't know what else I can do. 

I would really appreciate any help that you guys can give me... go here and annoy this person, that would help :)  In the very least it would make me a little happier because right now I am livid.  I don't think I've felt this mad in a while.  I am generally a very happy person but right now I just can't seem to ease my mind about this.  I just hate that all these people are commenting on how good the videos are and how great her editing was when it was me.  I guess I should be flattered that this person wants my life but I'm just pissed!!!!

The voting for Kawoosh's crossover challenge ends Sunday.  Head on over to the site to see all the entries and to pick the top four.  Rules for voting and the videos for the challenge are here.

There are some really good videos and some pretty unique ideas so please just give them a look when you have the time. 

Rae came up with this awesome LJ community called Vid critics.  It's a place where you put you music videos, from any fandom and people will critique it, giving you honest feedback and pointers on how to make it better.  Its great if you want outside help to improve your vidding talents.  It's awesome and you should really check it out if for nothing else then to see awesome music videos for multiple genres.

Wow, Its been a while since I've updated this.  And as soon as I get a chance I will post my newest video for the most recent challenge on Kawoosh!  But for now let me say that there were some good ones.  For this challenge everyone had to cross Stargate over with some other show or movie. 

I chose to cross over Stargate SG1 with One Tree Hill/Home of the Brave/Farscape/and a little bit of Buffy and Brothers and Sisters.  Now  I know what you are thinking, how can that possibly work?  Well, I used the song Just a Dream by Carrie Underwood and focused the video on Vala.  The video shows her past, when she was younger(this is where One Tree Hill comes into play) and shows a future she dreams of but will never have.  I was really proud with the way it turned out.

Anyway, to see this video and all the others in the challenge and for directions for voting please go HERE

Description: This was part of a challenge on Kawoosh!  It's just a fun, cute, very short video I made focusing on the couples and/or not couples of both SG-1 and Atlantis.

Maybe I will expand this after the challenge is over Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!!  Let me know what you all think!!!
