I've been thinking about vids a lot lately and how I might actually try my hand at making one someday. I have this very specific idea for a Farscape vid to Langhorne Slim's Say Yes that I ponder every time I listen to the song, and really, I'm just curious about how people make such amazing things that I enjoy so much, like this vid of Ruby and ( Read more... )

I don't have anything to show for these past few weeks, except perhaps my miraculously intact skills at juggling. I have been carrying around so much work stress, home stress, Family Business stress, and quite a few damn heavy boxes of responsibility that I'm not even sure how I've managed to get my hands free long enough to run a comb through my ( Read more... )

Today has been a series of frustrating schedule and chain-of-command misunderstandings and generally amusing but also annoying situations at work. I am looking forward to the weekend just so that I don't have to troubleshoot and explain anything for a few days ( Read more... )

I took yesterday off to try to wrangle the many boxes hanging hanging around my house. I had my faithful companion, sc-fi television, to keep me going, and I unearthed most of the various things that make up my kitchen while I watched the Battlestar Galactica marathon on Sci-Fi. I caught the tail end of season three, and watched Starbuck sprial ( Read more... )

OMG Monday. Everyone at the library appears to have taken it on good authority that today is crazycakes day, so I'm coping by drinking a huge coffee and requesting punk-pop albums from inter-library loan. The problem with embracing a reference-librarian's lifestyle is that I tend to do a lot of information-gathering when there's downtime, but all ( Read more... )

1. The other night, kjabernathy accused me of being obsessed with Duhkat (entirely true) and also of writing the story I'm writing about Lennier's accidental redemption in such a way that Delenn is the Father and Lennier is the Prodigal Son. And while the latter is also - if unintentionally - true, kjabernathy insisted it was extremely problematic because in this ( Read more... )

kjabernathy is watching more Battlestar Galactica, most recently Exodus, Part 2. There are many reasons I love her, but this thing she has to say about Tigh is near the top of the list: and Saul, oh Saul, who was always a little bat-shit has just stepped into the role of head Bat, King of the Shit.

The subject line of this post is from a very bad episode of ( Read more... )

This has been a whirlwind week. olivia_circe visited and kjabernathy got a blog. I watched eight hours straight of Babylon 5, through the end of the second season. I watched the season finale of Battlestar Galactica and then watched the last fifteen minutes again immediately after and then did a dance around the room. I took two half-days off, which is a bit of a miracle ( Read more... )

I'm not wearing socks. This is because it's 50 degrees out and sunny. It's pre-spring. It's a hint of soring, a taste to hold us through the rest of winter. And I'm actually warm enough not to wear socks while I drink my coffee and eat a slice of cinnamon swirl bread fresh from the bakery on this glorious day off ( Read more... )
