Saturation level?

I've heard of the phrase "point of diminishing returns" and my feeble understanding of it is that, at some point, the benefits of a particular activity eventually cease to outweigh the cost of performing the activity.

Of course, the problem with ME is that I work best under pressure. I wish that weren't the case, but it's true -- I require external motivation to complete most anything I undertake. Left with too much free time and I begin to vegetate... like a liquid which takes the form of its container, I do actually require a container with rigid walls to hold my shape rather than being able to hold my shape independently.

I'm putting together a video for church on Sunday and I don't have the first notion of how to edit video, or even operate a digital videocam. I think I was able to capture some video tonight, but I haven't yet figured out how to transfer it onto my laptop so I can work with it.

Thank goodness for Blue Fish; I know that HE knows what he's doing, and he and the entire Purple Fish Guts family will be coming over on Friday evening... hopefully we can put something together or at least figure out where to begin.

I'm really looking forward to Thursday night as well. We're having a very special guest over, and I'm excited! More about that tomorrow, though.
