Hi Cam! I checked the thread yesterday, but saw you and Penguin having fun and tiptoed quietly out again. You guys are a riot.
Chloe!! You should have said hi.. Pengers and I were just hanging out.. I'm glad that we can be amusing though.. What have you been upto??
I've been working very hard, but these last couple of days have been a little easier. I'm actually working on one of the RENT film's competitors this fall, though it comes out a little earlier.
Oh ouch.. You are working on a competitor.. isnt' that conflict of interests?? hehehe today has been dead.. I'm soo ready to go home.. I would rather be be busy than bored to tears..
Trade? I've been way too busy...
Yes, I've been thinking sabotage is the way to go - but actually, this film is very different and not direct competition in either content or release date. It's funny, though, I have stills from RENT on my computer screen behind what I'm supposed to be working on.
That is too funny.. Hey whatever works though..
OMG one of my employees and I are delirious... We sound drunk and stoned..
I wish I could hear you, I could use a laugh!
It's really rather hilarious.. I'm sure those around us are cracking up.. especially considering she's in another office.. The funny part is that we are sober imagine if we were..
...stoned? Sounds good to me! Well I'm off - it's so great not to have to work late for a couple of days. Have a good weekend!
Update from my hotel in Pittsburgh!
First of all, the ethernet in this hotel is crap and it's making me angry.
Second of all, this area is so cute.
Third of all... damnit, I want to move in.
The drive was really smooth. Some rain on the way, but we went through a tunnel and it was sunny on the other end. Good stuff.
Anyway, just dropping in... OH! And my dorm building DOES have that wall. HOORAY!
This is rather late, but I'm glad to hear it, Lari. Sun at the end of the tunnel - that's a good sign.
And four walls. Four walls is always a plus.
How true, Atrias...
I'm feeling frustrated right now because those clips on the RENT movie site sound so bad on my computer - I know a lot of that is my speakers, but I won't be able to listen on good ones until Monday.
I love the clips, personally. I don't understand what's so bad about them. I adore what I hear.
Why do people seem to have gripes with One Song Glory??? I can't see anything wrong with it! XD
Well, on my computer they sound quite distorted, especially OSG, which also sounds somehow speeded up a little to me. My job is editing sound, so maybe I'm hypersensitive to it. I'll listen again on my state-of-the-art sound system at work.
ETA: It also just occurred to me that these files might play differently on different operating systems - some might be more compatible than others.

Well, I'm on a Mac OS X... I'm using my iPod earbuds to listen. And I'm in luuuuurve...
I'm really glad to hear it - I'm on OS 9 here, but OS X at work, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Then again, I've never taken music classes. I have amateur ears. I love it, nonetheless.
Still, I think people are judging too fast. You really have to see the film WITH it to have a real sense... And we don't know what's cut, either.
Also, for those who've listened to the OBCR forever, anything different is going to seem odd.
Sorry if you've already been asked this (I haven't been around much lately), but how did you come up with your cute user name?
My name's Larissa, but I go by Lari. I also have the tendency to be obnoxiously loud without realizing it.
For example, I am infamously incapable of speaking at a whisper. I've tried before, but people within a 15 foot radius can STILL hear me. It's actually pretty sad.
Hence, LariTheLoud. For I am loud and opinionated. XD
And yeah. I'm receptive to pretty much anything... I wasn't expecting a carbon-copy of the OBCR, because that would be pointless. They want people who DO own the OBCR to be interested in buying this new soundtrack... why make it exactly the same?
The clips sound pretty good to me, but I'm totally too excited to care if that means they actually ARE any good
I like that they sound very different from the OBCR. For exactly the reason you stated Lari
You have been gone Chloe, but now are back HORAY!
Nice explanation of your name Lari.
(wow I'm ultra smiley happy today, I think that's Cam's fault )
Everyone seems to be fairly opinionated around here, so you fit right in. Do you have any acting ambitions? Because what you describe sounds exactly like a stage whisper. Larissa is a beautiful name, by the way.
Actually, I don't have any acting ambitions. I'd rather write creatively--and I do! VERY often!
Thank you, though. I usually just go by Lari... I am so russian.
I just watched the RenT trailor for the first time. (I have not been with a nice enough internet connection until right now)
wow. I am so freaking excited, I can not believe it!
Thanks, Penguin - you may have broken some sort of smiley record there! I'm glad you're feeling so good. It's hard for me to absorb all this new stuff, and part of me just wants to wait until the CD comes out and listen to the *real* sound.
Lari, a lot of people here are into writing, like Cam and Nia. Do you do fanfic?
