The graduation went OK, and I didn't have to video too much of it. We had to do pictures once we got home though, and I don't think my dad liked the fact that I took like 100 pictures in a few minutes so he had to download them all to the computer before going to hit the graduation parties. I skipped those even though I was invited to a few, since I didn't really know the people (although apparently they invited me specifically - seemed a little odd). Instead I redid some of the coax in my room to eliminate one run of coax down the hall and instead use some of the stuff I fished through the ceiling/walls a few weeks back. I managed to make the raw non-computer video look decent on the projector too - I think there might have been a very slightly loose connection somewhere in there. I watched the second half or so of the MTV Movie Awards, and while they were sorta funny, I have to agree with Gollum's "MTV Sucks" quote. I also jumped through the first half (I love digital video and jumping through an hour and a half of video in a way you can see what you're doing in about 2 minutes) and watched Yoda's speech which was funny but didn't have quite the um, impact as Gollum's. Then my brother and I broke out the Courage Under Fire laserdisc as somehow neither of us had actually seen that movie before. Good story, good effects. They did some odd cuts though - it was weird for him to be in the middle of an interview that's quiet and stuff, and you feel the impact of the helicopter rotors and gunfire right before they cut to the war footage as a memory since they cut the sound before the video. Kept you in suspense until the end though - I guess I'd have to recommend it.
