I dreamed I was back in school as an adult and it was a class on Sunday. The only other two people in my class were an adult version of Amy from grade school and some girl who looked like Mikayla from Survivor. Anyway, there was some big project due and I forgot it was even assigned, and I was panicking. That actually woke me up early...
On that note, that actually did happen in grade school. There was some big project on presidents and I don't think I even started it. I didn't get penalized or anything. I don't know how I got away with that one...

VirtualDub Audio Display
I can't believe I was ignorant of this for so long.
In VirtualDub: View > Audio Display
Knowing exactly when silence starts and stops makes editing out commercials a hell of a lot easier, especially when there's sound before and after any picture on screen. I always wanted something like this in VirtualDub so I wouldn't have to rip the audio, load it in Audacity, and try to guess where to edit the frames like an idiot. I don't check for VirtualDub updates that often, but I'm on version 1.9.11 right now and apparently it's been a feature for a while now.
I only started to search for a "VirtualDub Audio Display" when trying to record the anime sequences from Persona 4 (which I got yesterday -- only four days after I ordered it!). The screen would fade to white and there was a point where the music stopped and you heard a sound that signaled when a battle was going to begin. I wouldn't be able to tell how to edit the video based on frames like I normally do if I'm really looking for sound cues, and as long as VirtualDub stutters while playing videos, guessing for an exact time wasn't an option either.
Of course, now I have to keep the VirtualDub window maximized, but that's not a big deal.
