short n' sweet catching up

IT IS RAINING WHERE I AM.  This is the most exciting thing I can think of right now, which is both a good indication of how much it's needed and how desperately glad I am that it's Friday.  Good tea weather, really.  Bad weather to actually leave the house, which means I'm tragically missing something billed as "Vivaldi as if he were in a grunge

I hadn't heard of Rasputina either until this one, but they're good stuff with ages of stuff I've just started listening to. And I feel it sort of supports my complex feelings towards DW at the moment AND has gorgeous cellos so WIN-WIN! Though I wouldn't object to someone else wandering along and picking it up either, it's something I just want to exist. (I'll cop to the second one as being a bit more bitter in my mind, but I've thought it would be a good one ever since the Flesh people and Amy specifically. It was originally my "disappeared Olivia" song for Fringe season 3, but I couldn't twist the Peter/Oliva-ness right. ;)

I'd put Y to the side too, because while it's an interesting idea, I already knew the setup wasn't something I loved. But post-Runaways reading and some Dragon con discussion I gave it a go, and I'm definitely enjoying it so far. Can't enthusiastically recommend it right now, but enjoying it. :)

Yeah, mostly I came across three or four articles in a row where Dan Didio said some um, douchebag-ey things. About completely different topics, which was not so endearing. And more than any influence, except well structural, on the reboot specifically, it's another reminder for comics tourist me that DC is this giant thing with a long history of having a lot of terrible stuff right along with the awesome bits. Just generally puts smaller yay! in my enthusiasm?

I don't think anything's going to stop me from picking up Wonder Woman next week though.

*makes vague grabby hands gestures* I really don't want to sweep the song out from under you but maybe if it's still seeming like an awesome idea after I've seen the finale, and if you're not going to do it (because if you ARE then I will keep my mitts off), we could work on doing that vid in some collaborative way? Like either I could got off and vid it and let you beta/get suggestions from you as to how to approach it/let you give me an actual storyboard/anything in between any of these options? I just love the song and the broad concept of a DW vid to it and would like to Help That Exist even though at the moment I am also in a bit of a, "But how would I do it? I don't know, but it must happen somehow!" place!

So, um, maybe we should revisit this after the finale?

Let me know on Y:!

And yeah, DC (well comics in general but I know DC best) is really...not the place to go for uniform excellence. There's a reason I drift in and out of it and have never been THIS into it before, which has something to do with enjoying it best when I'm viewing it as archetypal, cyclical stories I can pick and choose from. This new closeness to the material is going to prove...interesting. o.O

BUT WONDER WOMAN IN A MATTER OF DAYS. I AM GETTING LEGIT NERVOUS AND EXCITED.

*nod nod*

And nah, if I really was seriously hoarding it for me to make it wouldn't have shown up in a public link. Especially since it's a really vague thing in my mind too beyond "BUT IT WOULD BE PERFECT!" So I'm definitely open to chatting about it post-finale, where hopefully I will be making less conflicted faces at Who and it will still be a thing that needs to exist. :)

And heh, with comics I almost feel like a fan who got into Star Wars with the prequels. This monthly stuff is confusing! And well, I still don't know how much I want to get invested as a whole thing, but I'm having fun with it so honestly I don't know why I want to be such a downer on myself. BECAUSE WONDER WOMAN IS OUT TOMORROW, OMG. *bites nails*
