I don't know why I keep trying to make vids to Swell Season songs when I know how incredibly difficult that is.

I think I've used up nearly all of the footage of this couple and there's still over two minutes left of the song.

AWESOMELY, I managed to finish my Amy Pond/THE UNIVERSE vid, which I'm really happy about because the idea's been in my mind for MONTHS. It's uploaded to YouTube and I'm just waiting for the MU upload to finish before I start pimping it out.

It's really nice having vidded something that I actually want to show to other people again.


You know what else is nice? Tomorrow the fam and I will be headed down to Durham to catch the In The Heights tour. SCORE. ♥♥♥

So I finally gave up on Sony Vegas because it was just ridiculously frustrating and confusing for me. But I miss vidding, so I was determined to find a replacement program.

Mission accomplished! I just finished my first vid with Corel VideoStudio, and while it is not something I would show to other people, being a fairly ridiculous and not very well-made thing, it is a vid and I enjoyed using the program and yay maybe now I can get back to serious vidding, woo.

So hey. Does anyone know of any good Sony Vegas tutorials? The only ones I can find are in video format, and that just...doesn't work for me.

I'm up to 362 icon spaces filled. This is a bit ridiculous, but I love it.

I can't decide whether to start writing this cyberpunk original fic 'verse or just do worldbuilding stuff for now and save the actual writing for this year's NaNo. HI INDECISIVENESS.

...it doesn't have a plot yet. Just worldbuilding and character stuff. I'm pretty sure this is one story that is going to need a plot, unlike Most Everything Else I write.

*

I don't know if I've ever talked about my Discworld-collecting tendencies in detail here. So here's the thing: I am a very sporadic buyer of Discworld novels. I buy whichever one looks most interesting to me when I'm standing in the bookstore, is the basic gist. Which amounts to buying them in an order that makes no logical sense. The awesome thing about this is getting to know characters really well from their later appearances and then going back and reading their first appearance for the first time, when they were less developed and the concept wasn't quite the same. Really, it's awesome. ♥

Someone needs to make an Amy Pond fanvid to "Once In Love With Amy". Although probably not until we've got decent footage of her snogging someone. BUT STILL.

End of post.

You know what fanvid should exist in the world?

A Martha-leaves-the-TARDIS vid set to "Show Off" from The Drowsy Chaperone.

...It would be hilarious.

...don't judge me. :/

Okay, so maybe I've been listening to Love Again on repeat far too much. IT IS A VERY CATCHY SONG. And maybe I have in fact despite my better intentions started making a DW vid to it. (If it turns out too similar to Forever, pssh, I just won't show it to anybody else then. Like when I make vids that suck. Easy solution!)


Today our landlords sent a handyman over to fix various stuff around the house that is Not Working, which regrettably meant that I had to, like, interact and talk to people and stuff like that. D: And will have to do it some more tomorrow because the bathroom sinks aren't fixed yet and need special equipment or something. But! The front door lock is working correctly now and the upstairs bathroom door closes properly and those are both positives, so, maybe it balances out?

...my asocial tendencies, let me show you them.


Otherwise, I've been mostly just playing MarioKart DS all day. Ohgodiamsoboring.

  • I made fudge! It's currently cooling on the counter. I'm looking forward to it.


  • Today's mail brought the concert tickets! *celebrates* This Friday, the House of Blues, kids. Shane fuckin' MacGowan.


  • ...sometimes I feel bad about how much I fangirl Shane without stopping to note that, yes, I am a fan of the band as a whole, and, no, Shane-minus-the-Pogues wouldn't be quite as awesome. So take this as a note that when I fangirl Shane, fangirling the rest of the band is implied to be part of it. ...but I really am a huge fan of Shane himself.


  • On a different note, vidders on my flist, could you offer any help? I've been trying to render a vid in Windows Movie Maker (yes, yes, I know) for about three days now. Every time, the actual rendering seems to go fine -- it'll hang for a couple seconds, then continue on -- but when I play the video the image will freeze at a certain point. The audio will continue on fine, but the picture will be frozen -- and it's at a different point each time I try rendering. I have no idea what's going on. Any advice?


  • [livejournal.com profile] metafandom is covering RaceFail09. I wish I had something enlightening to say here, or a good way of summing up the whole thing, but I don't and I can't. So I'm just gonna say that there's a lot of intelligent, eloquent people saying a lot of things that a lot of people -- me included -- ought to listen to. Also, there's a lot of fail in fandom. Well, in the world in general, but I like to think fandom slants towards more intelligent, accepting people, and it's always sad when that belief is proved wrong.


  • This is another one of those "I'm sure I had other things to talk about but I don't remember what they were" bullet points. Sorry.

Happy Pi day, kids. <3


Also, I am somehow two-and-a-half minutes into a LOST vid that I started last night on a whim. There's still like two minutes left of it, but...that's kind of cool. I like what it looks like so far. We'll see how/if it turns out.

New idea for an Andromeda Harper-centric fanvid.

We'll see how this works...I only have random episodes to work with, and it's been a while since I actually finished a fanvid, so I'm not going to promise to finish it, much less share it, but...we'll see.

It's an interesting idea, anyway.

SPOILERS for Psych 3x01 Ghosts )

Overall: Powerful episode. Psych does emotional drama, and does it well. James Roday gets a chance to remind everyone that he can do genres besides constant comedy. And it still feels like Psych, it's still got the humor and the buddy elements and everybody's there even if for only about twelve seconds (Jules, what happened to you? Working a case without any backup or what?) A great start to the season.


story from real life and related ponderings that got longer than I thought they would )

Today is the first exchange of our Secret Santa. I am...slightly nervous about delivering my first gift. Um. (I told our dresser I didn't know how I was going to smuggle it in without my recipient -- or any of the cast, since they have a cultural aversion to secrets apparently -- seeing it. She said "Bring it in a bag!" Then she said "Oh, wait, you never bring a bag and everyone will immediately know why you brought one." So, yeah.)


FANNISH STUFF. In bits and pieces. BECAUSE.
So, Dr. Horrible. Why, yes, I am a sucker for lonely-loser villains. Who sing their feelings. Add Dr. Horrible/Billy to my list of fannish crushes, gais. And one of my spot ops and I spent much of yesterday quoting it at each other.
But. I'm really not happy about Penny. She had absolutely no agency throughout, barely had a personality, and totally failed to subvert any of the genre tropes I was hoping for. JOSS. I EXPECT BETTER OF YOU. You could have told the same awesome story in a much more awesome way by giving Penny some real personality and letting her make some active choices.
However, I do have a Dr. Horrible icon now.

[title of show] has made it to Broadway, that magical street of dreams (or that shameless commercial whore, depending). Have I talked about this on here yet? No, I don't think so. Anyway, I'm very very happy about it. And would kill to go see it. Now I just need Zanna Don't! and Evil Dead: The Musical to make it to the Great White Way. And a decent Chess revival. And a trip to New York with a lot of cash.

My daddy is buying tickets for me and him and my mom to go see the touring cast of Spamalot this November. Like, right after my work contract ends. *bounces* My daddy's so cool. (And, he's vaguely alluded to possibly taking me and my mom to see Wicked when the touring cast passes through the area next May. Yespls?)

I'm dying to see the new XF movie, and I know next to nothing about it having somehow totally failed to find any decent spoilers. But MULDER. SCULLY. MY FIRST REAL FANDOM. OMGYAY.

I really want to write fic, but am totally failing to. All I can get is tiny, nonsensical bits and pieces. I've tried a couple [livejournal.com profile] 1sentence attempts because that's usually a pretty good writer's-block breaker for me, but I keep stalling out about halfway through every couple I try. *flail* Any advice?

...On the "accomplished!" side, I have a Lost Desmond/Penny vid finished that just needs to be uploaded and pimped out. Unlikely to happen today, though. On the grounds that I need to leave for work fairly soon. But soon? Hopefully. I like it. It's kind of a darker take on the pairing than I usually go for, and we all know screwing up the couples I love is like a drug to me. And I think it turned out pretty well, for being a study of the pairing rather than a straightforward story.

...oh, that just reminded me I have to hit up LVI and make sure no one else used that song for Des/Penny. Athough I doubt it. It's...not obscure, exactly, but neither is it what I expect most LVI vidders to be drawing upon for music choices? ...okay, that sounded all music-elitist and that's really not how I meant it.

...shutting up now before I offend anyone further.

Besides, it's INTERNATIONAL DAY OF FEMSLASH! ...I would use a femslash icon here, but I kind of already committed myself to the Dr. Horrible one, didn't I? I'll try and do a picspam or something else to celebrate after work. But for now, I'm going to go feed. Because I'm hungry.
