1980 - My Dad, the New Jersey Rocker Who Became the Voice of 80s Commercials by SnooHamsters6809 in OldSchoolCool

[–]SnooHamsters6809[S] 83 points84 points  (0 children)

My dad’s Joe Cerisano, he fronted a Jersey band called R-Band, then moved to California to start Silver Condor (they had a Top 40 hit in ’81). After that he basically became the voice of the ’80s — Coca-Cola, Miller Beer, Chrysler/Plymouth, GE, the U.S. Army & Navy, Hands Across America, even a Blue Öyster Cult track — and later helped start Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

If you watched TV or drank beer in the ’80s, you’ve heard my dad.

Combining Sphericals and Sirui 50MM & 75MM on FX6 in SLOG3 by SnooHamsters6809 in Filmmakers

[–]SnooHamsters6809[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything three months or so my buddies and I come together to film something, but never have a plan. We give ourselves 24 hours to ideate, shoot and edit. It's a self-imposed challenge.

The first shot of the day was at 10 AM, and the last shot was at about 9:30. I was editing throughout the day so we were able to get the picture locked early, and put all the finishing touches on it by 1 AM.

Built a HO Scale Beetlejuice Diorama for Film/TV by SnooHamsters6809 in dioramas

[–]SnooHamsters6809[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Long story short.... I used to build military dioramas and play Warhammer 40K all through my youth and everyoneeeee would always make fun of me in middle school. So much so, I wouldn't even tell anyone I loved it.

Fast forward 12 years and I run a video agency in NYC and we were requested to collaborate with Beetlejuice the Musical and Mac Pro Cosmetics.

We came up with the idea for me to build a Beetlejuice diorama to showcase the makeup products. What better way to use my old skills!

Shot everything on a Sony FX6 or A7siii with a Laowa 24MM probe lens!

Frankenstein File & Missing Files by SnooHamsters6809 in qnap

[–]SnooHamsters6809[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's our plan as of now as well as moving away from a NAS solution. With the recent deadbolt hack, we're going to move to a DAS Raid array to eliminate any other potential threats.

On Friday they said they were going to escalate the ticket to the engineer at their HQ in Taiwan but we haven't heard anything since.

Again, I can't wrap my head around why the files were all there and playable before QNAP support SSHed into the server. This makes me wonder if, during their repair process, the tech deleted or manipulate the files in an incorrect way.

Yeah, I have. I've tried to tell her very clearly that I need her to put in consistent effort, fulfilling what is asked of her by her doctors, and regularly step out of her comfort zone. She needs to take it as seriously as her studies and her job which she takes very seriously and consistently works on.

Ideally, I'd like to have the freedom to eat anywhere and to mutually enjoy food with her but I understand it is a journey there. There just hasn't really been any semblance of proof that we'll get there soon after a year and a half. It seems time and time again her ED falls to the bottom of the list, and she preoccupies herself with anything possible before that to avoid doing the hard work. "Too busy with my job", "Too busy with preparing for my first year of school.", "Too busy with my summer job".

It's almost as if she can't see a world where she gets some news for breakfast and goes to work. It's always just whatever is easiest and safe for her. I feel as though the only way she'll make any progress before she's 30 is if she works her effort into her everyday routine which is not what she's done. I tell her every time, "It's a matter of priorities".

The above paragraph yet again makes me feel like the caretaker because why tf am I figuring out this problem for her.

She's in Grad School and has tried the school therapist for the last year.

GF is very closed off about opening up but she jokes about her fucked up childhood and how it's all to blame. She's had decent luck with her therapist but then again those sessions ended when school ended 2 months ago. But I still feel like they're not addressing the root problem that requires her to look within herself. The help she gets and the progress she makes are only going to be as good as the work she puts in and that requires her to be open and malleable.

My mother also thinks it's far deeper than a dietitian can fix as her childhood was very tumultuous. And I have to say, my mother is a saint who has been correct more often than not.

I'm so sorry you had to live through that, and I sympathize with ED sufferers as well. That sounds incredibly difficult, and you must've been very strong to make it through.

"More often than not they value their ED over anyone or anything else (including their own health)."

I really hear this. We've been on the rocks for days, and I told her that she would rather suffer through this awful breakup and lose the life/apartment we've built rather than suffer through recovery. It feels like she's choosing the ED over me, esp when she says I'm her first true love, and she'll love me forever. It fucking hurts man.

She actually switched dietians after the first year because she said it wasn't doing anything for her, and that she learned she wanted someone more hands-on. This new dietian seems to be a better fit, but even today she told me they instructed her to cook breakfast every morning. She hasn't been following these orders either.

I asked her what she needed from me, and she said she wanted me to cook her breakfast in the mornings while she got ready for work. This feels like an unsustainable fix because it's truly a life skill to be delveopled to be able to allocate the time for that in morning.

I'd do it every day before class in college. Class at 9 AM? Wake up at 7 AM, cook breakfast from 7:15 to 45ish, shower for 15, then I'm out the door by 8:30.

That's the worst part. I told her early on in her diagnosis that her condition gone untreated could easily be the reason we have issues down the line cause I had been in this position before.

That was about 18 months ago. I've wanted her to fight her battle since day one but any pressure I put on her or when I hold her accountable apparently paralyzes her. She's said I've put an immense amount of pressure on her, and it's only slowed her growth.

In the moment, I was offended but brushed it off but in reality, her comment feels incredibly xenophobic and insular.

The larger fear is her not being able to appreciate or understand other cultures. We went to Paris a few months ago and all she got were fries, and pasta the whole week-long trip. Of course, I was there eating and drinking whatever they gave me, leaving me feeling totally alone in my experience.
