It's so frustrating working on these digital copies of old poorly done worn VHS tapes of this show. Most were tapes copied off other tapes, then converted to very blocky MPG of the 90s. For all the time spent on each still video capture of the series, the end results is only a little bit better because the quality was so poor to start with. When there's at least a little more quality, it gives me substantially more to work with & the enhancements are dramatically better.
Sorry for not posting much. Due to lack of donations I've had to spend most of my time doing almost anything short of selling my soul or robbing a bank to avoid starvation & try to keep my rent paid. Still not doing well at it though. The rent was due on the first day of the month, & still hasn't been paid yet because the monthly server bills comes due again in just a few days.
So PLEASE donate if you want Betty's to continue to exist! We can't make it without a little help from everyone!
Having more setbacks this week. Then Thursday, a couple transformers on a pole about a block away exploded with several large explosions & flashes of blue light, then I lost all power as the pole was engulfed in flames & sparks. My power didn't come back on until Friday morning. Without power, I can't do most of my work.
Fortunately I had battery powered efficient LED lighting, & plenty of old rechargeable batteries that still work (even though most of the batteries are over 15 years old), so the kitties & I didn't have to sit in the dark. My neighbors weren't smart enough to be prepared & own a functioning flashlight. At night looking out my upper floor windows, every building was pitch black for several blocks in every direction. The only light in the neighborhood was coming from my windows. Occasionally I'd see someone in a neighbor's window trying to navigate by their cell phone screen light. We're doomed if society had an extended power failure.
I did the opposite, & actually shut off my phone during the power failure to save its battery power. Not knowing how long I'd have to go without charging it, I figured save its power for emergency calls only. I turned on the radio for the news but they never mentioned a word about the explosions, the pole burning down, & the blackout. So in case of an emergency, I guess we can't depend on the media to keep us informed. Maybe if it got knocked out by a storm, it would have made the national news because the weathermen would all want their 5 minutes of national fame.
Seriously, if some small town 40 miles away gets just 6" of snow it makes the national news that Buffalo is in a blizzard. But most of the news that day during the blackout seemed to revolve around banning plastic shopping bags, how cold it will be for St. Pat's day, & Trump rather than any mention of the explosions, flaming transformers, or the blackout effecting an entire district of the city... good golly, we are doomed!
I turned on my scanner radio. But because police have changed to digital communication along with some fire channels, & the electric company, I couldn't pick up many details on it either.
Because no power in the neighborhood, there was no internet, or wifi, & I don't have a data plan on the phone.
So the kitties & I spent the day & night cozy with classical music on the radio, while the rest of the neighborhood wandered around in the dark lost. I got a nice 7" tablet for free to review that I got to keep last month. But with no wifi on, & no data plan, I couldn't get online with it. But I did have one of my favorite Sci-Fi series loaded into it, Stargate SG1. So at the end of the night before bedtime, the kitties & I curled up to watch a few episodes on it before going to sleep.
When the power first went off, the cats thought it was some kind of fun adventure. As somewhat natural nocturnal animals, they were running around, bouncing off the walls, & chasing each other until they got worn out. Even with all the LED lights on it was a dimmer & different atmosphere than they were used to.
Anywho, the next couple of YCDTOTV episodes didn't have anything interesting on them. But in episode 120, "Cleanliness", they get to dress up in sailor outfits again. Not exactly girly, but definitely sissy-like.
Enjoy!
