Half Asleep / Half Awake

It is currently 2am, I have been editing since about 9pm and I decided that this would be an appropriate time to write my BEDA post for tomorrow. Today. Whatever. Want a sneak peak of what the video is about? Well, I'll just tell you regardless of your answer may have been. The footage was taken last weekend when I went to spend time with family at my grandfathers cabin on Lake Cavanaugh. I was really excited to get a lot of footage and while I did get plenty for the video, the weather was not really optimal and I didn't get specific things that I had intended on getting. Sigh, oh well. The video is turning out fairly well, I think/hope. I am having one giant issue with a cropped/recentered shot not showing up in playback, which is driving me crazy. I even exported the video to see if it was a playback issue and it was not. So I've had to call it a night until I can get a hold of MHoney to tell me what I messed up on. As per usual. By the way, the video is set to the beautiful music of this guy right here. His name is James and as you can see if you check out any of his videos, he is extraordinarily talented. I'm very fortunate to be using his music, even though I am only using about a third of the song for the video, since I didn't have enough footage for a four minute video. Travesty, I know, but I tried to make it work.
Alright, no one cares about a video they aren't going to see for…I have no idea when it will be posted. My lack of social life and general activity at all has lead to me creating a pretty decent backlog of videos. As in, I have enough videos for the next couple of weeks. And those that aren't completed have at least been filmed or planned out in great detail (I don't really script vlogs and such, but I do always have decent notes.) In addition to the borderline obsessive recording/editing, I have been baking. It's getting a bit out of hand. There have been cookies, a pie, delicious vanilla honey pound cake and I am making dinner tonight, which means mac and cheese cupcakes. You read that right. I am so excited. May also make these peanut butter and jelly bars for dessert.
Man, this post makes me feel particularly lame, for some reason. If anyone happened to click on my blog today thinking 'hm, wonder what Kayley's up to?' they'd probably agree. 'Oh, she's just…talking to a camera and making baked goods. Hm. Thrilling.' Alright. I'm starting to invent characters that dislike me, I think that means I need to stop blogging. If you want something a little more intellectually stimulating than the likes of me sitting on my couch, or something, go read the post I wrote yesterday. Actually, I wrote it a couple of weeks ago. But posted it yesterday. Unimportant details. Alright. Sleep. I think I'll come back to this in the morning.
Well, it's morning. Actually, it's noon. I went for a walk and got 88% dark chocolate and iced coffee and that has been my morning. Nothing else to report, so I'm BEDA'd out for the day. xx

Days until London: 25.

Those mac and cheese cupcakes look amazing! I definitely bookmarked the recipe. :)

I'm not gonna lie, I thought the mac and cheese cupcake would be some sort of disastrous bread-noodle-cheese mix (that now sounds good) but the recipe really looks amazing. So much so that I want to have a continuous supply in my dorm.

Those cupcakes, omg! yum!
I wish I could cook but I can't really be bothered to most of the time. I just want to eat the food not work for it :P

First, as others have said, those mac and cheese cup cakes look pretty freaking delicious. On my list.
Seconds, have you seen this Youtube flowchart?

I've found that when I have too much time on my hands I just start cooking (at least recently with all my friends leaving for uni, because I start later than them). I'm going to try those mac & cheese cupcakes, they're adorable! I'm looking forward to your new video, and I hope the issues you have with it get worked out:)
