Worst. alarm clock. ever.

I was hoping to sleep in a little today. Sadly, the birds around here had other plans. Just after 7am, the very loud screaming started up outside - I sigh and hope to get back to sleep soon. This isn't that unusual, we get quite a lot of the sulfur crested cockatoos around here, and they are damn noisy birds.

But the noise goes on and on, and gets louder and louder. I peek out the window, and there are quite a number of them in the trees swooping at each other and just screaming. It continues. After about ten minutes of this, I went outside. They were at war! There are bits of white feather floating around, and the noise was so loud I put my fingers in my ears. Dad and I threw some sticks up into the branches, trying to get them to go away, but mostly they ignored us. They've gone now, but it was on for a good half hour or more. The noise was unbelievable.

+ Nsync interviewing people on the red carpet - 37 meg (eta: file has become corrupted, will repost link when I've got it reuploaded, sorry)
From the 2000 Grammys (and pre-Grammys party, Clive Davies' bash?), Nysnc did red carpet interviews for Rosie's show. The party the night before the Grammys, they aren't too successful, but there are lots of cute and funny moments (JC interviewing Chris! turps33, this is the footage I was talking about that this shot is from). At the Grammys red carpets, they manage to speak to a lot more people...but not Backstreet *g*. I love this footage :) Ripped from Nsyncland dvd #6.

ETA: And I've finally discovered how to get decent quality video from camera to computer. Of course, if I have half a brain I would have realised this months ago rather than thinking it was a software setting.

I adore that footage :) And incidentally, I tried responding to the last comment you sent me, asking if I ever got the Unedited Xmas message, but it wouldn't go through. (The response to the comment, that is *g*) The answer is yes! I did. I ended up opening up IE (I couldn't get it to work with Mozilla) and saving it that way. Thank you again :)

Silly lj, but I'm glad that you got it :) I'm not sure what was going on with some of the links, never had that problem before.

And this red carpet footage is just adorable - "Puffy! Puffy!".

I've had starlings and mynahs feuding like Hatfields and McCoys here for the last few days. Not noisy enough to rival cockatoos, but more than enough to chase me out of bed before 6.00. Must be something in the air!

Spring has sprung, the grass has riz, and...it's war.

At least the cockatoos waited til 7am, thank god for that :)

Which, although tragic, is probably for the best. I may have spontaneously combusted if that happened. :-)

bachelor_girl go boom? Awww :(

Actually, the not talking bit is so funny, I don't mind that we didn't get them chatting to each other. Mostly *g*.

Have you taken the link down? It's not working and I'd love to see.

Nsync interviewing Backstreet. Whoa. That would be a head rush *g*

So weird, the file seems to have become corrupted or something, it was there earlier, I saw that it was getting downloaded a few times. They're in the process of doing work on/replacing the server my site is on, so maybe that caused it, hmmm. But I'm reuploading now, and will let you know when it's back *g*.

That could be my next project, big post o'crossovery clips...
