The World Famous Fluffy and The Aquarium Channel

I FINALLY  got the video from facebook up into YouTube!!!
I used  Snagit, a part of the Jing network.  Gave up on the rather complicated instructions from the Movie Maker people.
Snagit had my video up into YouTube in less than 5 minutes!  Unfortunately, after a month, it has to be paid for.  So, expect several Fluffy videos up in the next little while!
Here is the five minute one of her jumping at the TV when The Aquarium Channel is on!

The Steven and Chris Show

I decided to go for an audience seat at The Steven and Chris show on CBC television.
They had a bunch of warnings, to say that seats are so popular that people might get turned down!  I was slightly worried that I wouldn't get my date.
They got back to me very fast, though, and I will be watching the show live on Wed., September 18th.  I will find out later when it will be aired.  I could let them know about me, so I told them of Hugo and Fluffy Tales being presented to The Dalai Lama.
Here's hoping that they will mention me on the show.  They like to talk of audience members!
I will get some FREE STUFF, too!!!  They always give away things.  Maybe I will win some big thing, too.
Wish me luck!

How to Meet H.H. The Dalai Lama. According to Wikitravel

Here is the webpage about Dharamsala.  Scroll down to where it says:  "Meet The Dalai Lama".
Hilarious!!!

I just looked at the time that it has taken to convert my 5 minute video!
SIX HOURS!!!!!!!!!!!
No more posting videos only to facebook!  I will put them into YouTube, and share with facebook.
Yikes!

Waiting.....

I am falling asleep here, while my five minute facebook video of Fluffy jumping at The Aquarium Channel converts.
I want to add a title and credits in my Movie Maker.  Then, I will be able to post it to YouTube, etc.
It is only half done, and has taken 2 hours, at least!  Probably doesn't help that I got Skype again.  
Skype always clogs up my computer.  :-p
I will put the video into my blog by tomorrow.  Once it's converted, I will fall asleep!
To dream of all of the black kittens that I looked at online today!  I will have to make a collage of black kittens!
I bet that you are saying to yourselves now,"Find a black kitten for yourself already!!!"

Today at the Park

Today, I went to the ravine.  It was beautiful and peaceful near to the waterfall fountain.  Lots of people and their dogs.
I had no luck selling, so I tried at the Queen St. part of the ravine. I saw an old dog that could barely walk, because of arthritis.  That made me feel some relief that at least Fluffy never had to suffer like that.  She did have arthritis, but could still walk easily, even though I had to lift her to the windows.  My basement windows are four feet off the floor.
I still can't face going to the boardwalk.  And, I only took my books and sign today.  Also couldn't face setting up everything, without Fluffy next to me.

New Places

I am trying out new places to sell my art and books.
Places that won't remind me of Fluffy being there with me.
Today, I went to Kew Gardens, but not many were walking on the paths there.  Also, I would sometimes go there with Fluffy, just to be out.
Tomorrow, I think that I will try the ravine park.  Fluffy didn't like it there, because that is where the coyotes live.
Maybe, too, I will see a little kitten needing help, someday soon.  A tiny black one...
Soon, I hope to see a reincarnation of Fluffy.  Last night, I dreamed of her and Hugo playing together again.

A new interest in my book, "Hugo and Fluffy Tales"

I have offered to send a copy of my book, Hugo and Fluffy Tales to Ani Choying Drolma. 
She is a wonderful singer of  Tibetan Buddhist chants, and the founder of The Nuns' Welfare Foundation in Nepal.
Here is a copy of  the email that I got from her assistant.

On The Beaches' boardwalk!

I was selling on The Beaches' boardwalk this weekend.  
No luck.  Everyone was at The Taste of The Danforth.  At least, the people with money were....
Oh well.  I never make money during that. It was nice to be enjoying the sun, and the views.  Especially of one of the lifeguards!  I noticed a few other ladies smiling at the site of him!
I will be back next weekend.  For now, I am bugging CBC's "Steven and Chris" to be on their show.
Great show!  I wonder if they are as funny in real life?

Finally, the video is done!

Finally, my video of Nik Beat's July 23 'Howl' radio show is done, and up on YouTube!
I hope that I never have to add so much audio again!
Nik Beat's guests are Tracy Lynn Challenger, a car poet.  She loves her vintage Dodge Challenger, and writes about it.  Her friend Pete Vee does a song about Tracy, called "Hell on Wheels".  
Nik also has phone interviews with Stephen Eyes, and a great new Canadian director, Joseph Procopio!  Joseph is only 19, and has won 39 awards for his work!
The last interview is with Kevin Kane of the group, 'Grapes of Wrath'.  He sings a song live!
Here is the video of the complete show!

Life Right Now

Fluffy is complaining.  I am trying to upload the last Howl radio show video into YouTube, and it's taking FOREVER!!!
I tried it as a high definition file.  Too large.  Tried it as the 'recommended' file.  Failed.
Now; another hour or so, to see if the smallest type of video available will work!
I need to really get Robert the radio tech to boost up the audio on the headphones when I video the Howl show next!  Then, I will NOT have to add any extra audio bits to the video.  I will be able to pick up phone interviews and music as it happens.
This video had two, rather long phone interviews, and two songs that I had to add!  I took off one song, to see if it would go up.
Fingers and toes crossed!!!  
If it STILL won't work, I will have to figure out how to split the video in half, and keep both halves!
