On Friday I tried to do some video editing but I couldn’t find Windows
Movie Maker. I guess it was on my previous computer that I’d used it. When I
was trying to find a download I saw that Windows doesn’t support Movie Maker
anymore, but I found a version on Pirate Bay. After I’d installed it though it
turned out that I didn’t have the codecs for the videos that I wanted to work
on and so Movie Maker wouldn’t read them.
I took a bike ride in
the evening. It was quite a bit cooler than the day before but I was okay in
shorts once I started moving. It seems that I pass about the same percentage of
people with the new bike than I did with the Phoenix and maybe a little more on
the hills. I rode to Bay and Bloor and then back.
I watched a couple of
episodes of Leave It to Beaver. Eddie Haskell found a gimmick to cheat on his
homework. He copies Wally’s answers then he writes those neatly but he writes
the solution sloppy so it’s hard for the teacher to read. His strategy is that
the teacher will get so frustrated looking at the solution that he’ll be happy
to settle for the answer. Then Beaver came in with a new pair of sneakers and
said he’d made the basketball team. Eddie told him, “Some basketball player!
You couldn’t dribble down your chin!”
In the second one
Beaver got a typewriter and was following the lessons in the booklet that came
with the machine. That involved covering up the keys and trying to learn to
type from memory. Gilbert told him that his piano player tries to make him play
without looking at the keys too and he wondered why they make learning so
difficult. Beaver theorized that it was because if they made it too easy the
world would be full of nothing but typists and piano players.
I watched a skit from
an episode of The Ernie Kovaks Show in which his wife, Edie Adams played a sexy
weather girl named Cloudy Faire. She thought her map of the world was of the
United States and so Boston was in Russia and Florida was in Africa.
