So, I should be working right now. Nicole made me this nice little index card of all the things I need to get done today, something she does everyday, something that she has trained me to need, so much so that when I’m away from her, I make her send me a virtual index card, otherwise I’m like a lost cat searching for their yum yums. Or something like that.
However, today, for some reason, I strayed. I strayed from the almighty index card and decided to make a video in iMovie, which is to say, go me. Seriously. I’ve come a long way in iMovie since that Vegas video Nicole and I made which, at the end of it, she scolds me for not knowing how to turn off the recorder. But, this time! THIS TIME! I found a way to splice TWO videos together, make the sound on the original videos go away, and then add music to the clip. I even added fades! FADES! MUSIC!
This is a glorious day for me. And, I know, you’re all wondering, “but, Jamie, aren’t you like, good with technology?”
Yes. I kind of am. BUT iMOVIE? I don’t know. Shit’s not intuitive. And maybe you’re sitting there being all, “dude, my five year old cousin knows how to use iMovie.” To which I’ll respond with, “well, maybe I only know how to do complex technological things like make websites look pretty.”
Also, I HAVE TO GET BACK TO WORK. HI SHATTERBOXX CLIENTS!
Oh, wait! Here’s the video I made! I didn’t shoot the footage, but I was there and I added the music and and and GO ME! I suggest you get high, set this puppy to full screen, and enjoy. Or, you know, don’t. Because drugs are bad. Tsk tsk.

“I suggest you get high, set this puppy to full screen, and enjoy.”
Okay, this is a bookmark, then.
okay, for serious? I could really use someone to make me index cards with what I’m supposed to be doing… because most of the time I’m all “huh? what?” and then it’s 5pm, time for cocktails!!
Jellyfishes are my favorite, and Spongebob’s favorite too. More reasons why I love you? ‘Cause I do.
PS. Check your mail soon
i love love love Jellyfish! so pretty to watch.
whenever i visit the monterey bay aquarium, i get hungry for sushi though. :/
THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I FELT WHILE I WAS THERE! Why the hell does that happen I feel so bad!
HI SHATTERBOXX CLIENTS!
PLEASE SEND RAINBOW MEAT! AND FOOD FOR THE JELLYFISH! AND DRUGS FOR EVERYONE! PAYPAL!
What I want to know is how you got the embed player to be pink. THAT is my favorite part. Well, that and the fact that I totes have the munchies now. Nom, nom.
This video makes me want to be a jellyfish.
I love love love love love love love love that song. Thank you for introducing me to it
NOW YOU ARE A MOVIE PRODUCER???!!! Like.. on the side. Like.
And Like only when Nicole is not home to make sure you are doing your index card jobs!
Loved it! For someone who hates being photograhed you sure are good with the camera.
xoxoxO
Seems like a good way to be productive but not doing anything really. It’s beautiful. Good job!
That song always makes me want to cry until I throw up. In a good way. Or something.
I’m fairly sure that jellyfish should be on your index cards every day.
You make me so proud, Chico daughter. Wish I could say you’d inherited some of that talent from me. Aw well, congratulations to your mom and dad, but most of all to you. You’re a star!
Awesome Jamie! I’m glad it turned out so well. Can you teach me how to use iMovie?
JEWWYFISH
Seafood, Yum!
Cool jelly fish…now show us your cardboard bits. I’m intrigued to see what these index cards look like. Care to share?
Best photo credit ever.
Now where’s the mary jane you promised me?
What?
i totally loved it! TOTALLY!!
don’t worry Jamie.. i don’t know how to use iMovie even if i’m 23.. so be cool
have a nice sunday sweetheart..
love.xoxo
The fade is just as magical as the jellyfish! Great work! Now please send me a note card with what I’m supposed to be doing besides reading your blog…
First of all, I was sent your blog with the promise that I would love it. I subscribed right away. I L.O.V.E., love it! So funny!
Now, iMovie and other such editing tools freak me out, but I never claimed to be technologically savvy, so way to go! What a great video! What song is that you have in the background? I must have it!
Sometimes I find myself sitting at my desk wondering exactly why Jamie Chung steals your Tweets. It’s one of cyberspace’s greatest mysterious of all time. Seriously, it’s baffling to me!
Then I realize I should be working too.
i really thought i commented on this.
but i didn’t.
but here is my belated comment anyway:
I NEED AN INDEX CARD EVERY DAY TOO THANKS BYE.
OMG! Awesome song in your video! I kept replaying just to hear the song
Sigh. I love Damien Rice.
I was so excited when I discovered how to fade music, I totally get your enthusiasm.
I’m also an avid list-maker, without lists I am pretty much hopelessly lost.
