My geeky face, let me show you it! (With bonus twice-baked vids, and a fresh from the oven vid rec!)
I have no idea how this little thing I was gonna share got this long...
Recently nicole_anell recced "Proud" and taragel said some lovely things about it too. Which--awwww! ^_^ (I love keswindhover and missmurchison sooo much for buying me at the VVC auction and finally making me watch BSG. *G*)
Then this morning I had a dream where "I'm Not Dead" and "Cuz I Can" had actually been much longer vids/songs, but I chopped out big sections before sharing them with anyone. So I was watching the full length ones and it was kinda awesome, because CIC had this huge section in the middle that was spoken-word/quasi-rap and all the footage for it was stuff I'd never seen. Which, if I have to imagine footage that doesn't exist, this is how I would like that to happen, thank you. Bonus, turns out there was an episode where Faith showed up on Galactica! (Though, srsly, I *know* I would not have forgotten that.)
And these things have what in common? Vid mashups! (Just go with me. :P) Mashups are always fun, and there are some ridiculously perfect ones out there for vids that aren't mine, but I cannot share those. So if you want to see those other ones you'll just have to beg other people to share.
But one of my favorites of my own vids is a Proud mashup that jarrow and sisabet made with Rhianna's "Umbrella". (Which I would have totally LOL'd about if I hadn't watched it before I knew what song was coming.) You guys, it makes me tear up! I cannot promise the same for everyone else, but still. Kara is Rhianna! Rainman Adama! Little Miss Sunshine Laura! Kara will always be Lee's friend, and they will all shine together! (Except when they don't. ::cries::)
And my dream made me want to share another jarrow mashup of "Cuz I Can" with Teairra Mari's "No Daddy". Because it's *almost* like finding a big part of a vid you cut out and forgot about. ;D And there are matches in that one that are *uncanny*. In fact I'm pretty sure jarrow likes it better than the original vid, but he's mean like that. ^_^ I haven't mashed anything up to "I'm Not Dead", but in lieu of that, I offer a mashup to "God Is A DJ" that I came up with all by myself, and is therefore *super* predictable, but whatever, Kara *is* a brick house, dammit. (So are many other kick-ass chick vids, turns out, lol.)
But before I stick in vids, I need to single out jarrow one more time for a vid that *is* brand new and also *awesome*. If you're a vid-watcher and have somehow not seen this recced, please run over to his journal and check out "Like My Very Own Blood". It's a portrait of Daddy Adama and Kara, and, wow, it makes me miss my frakked up show. The cutting is relentless, and the pacing, literally, took my breath away. Just at the point where I wasn't sure I could take anymore, it shattered to a standstill and left my heart bruised and aching and...dying to do it all over again. ;} I never hated Adama, even at the end, but this vid has something for everyone, IMO. You can read it as an indictment or as a layered tragedy. It's all good. (VERY GOOD. \o/)
And now, mash-ups if you feel so inclined! :D (There are download links below the streaming if you'd rather go that route.)

But I didn't just pop up to rave about someone else's new vid, and belated dress my own up for Halloween. I came to embarrass myself, w00t! If you happened to watch the vidder profile that the amazingly dedicated bradcpu put together on me (before a video game tried to end his editing career *g*), you might have caught the part where I shockingly admit that maybe I kinda totally want to be Starbuck.
I'd give you a minute to absorb that bombshell, but I have GEEKY THINGS. A couple of weeks ago taragel linked to this Face-In-Hole site (I can't even read that name in my *head* with a straight face.) And I happened to have some pics from Halloween that were good fodder for...putting in holes. So I now show you what a world with only people who look like me would look like. If that world consisted of Starbuck, Six, and Sam Anders. (Everyone else was replaced by shrimp, sorry.)
Me!Kara wears more make-up and has a scarily bright outlook on life.

Just be glad I skipped taking a new picture of myself to use the template that included Lee. That could not have ended well. \o/

Awww, I always wondered what I'd look like if I was taller and had boobs. Turns out? FREAKY.

LOLLLOL--Forget holes, I look like I *ate* his face in this one. XD

And that should be more than enough blackmail material for one post. :P
