I've done a lot of genre markings at work, and use the time to fill my mind with YouTube videos and summer radio. Today Maria Wetterstrand did her summer show, and she played First We Take Manhattan. That song has never registered on a vidding scale for me before, but now I immediately thought, has anyone made a Magneto vid to this? And if not, why ( Read more... )

Just got back from seeing a restored version of The Monastery of Sendomir, a silent movie with Tora Teje. It was quite the accident - I arrived too late for Taking Off and figured, hey, restored silent movie, sounds fun. :-) It was, too (and the pianist was excellent), though I don't recommend eating a pizza before going to the cinema. The first ( Read more... )

You Can't Keep a Good Woman Down
Multifandom music video celebrating women who may no longer be young, but are more awesome than ever.

Performed by Cyndee Peters.

Thanks to: bookelfe and roseveare for the beta - bookelfe in particular was subjected to so many drafts I'm surprised she's still talking to me ( Read more... )

New Inkheart icon. W. at work is teaching me Arabic, and since fire (naar) and heart (qalb) were among the words, I got the idea to make this icon. I fully admit to cheating with Dustfinger's name - it's just the words for "dust" and "finger" and I'm sure it makes no grammatic sense whatsoever. But I wanted to make the icon today and not have to ( Read more... )

I was reading the news on Robin Hood's Merry Men and noticed that one of the ER prettyboys is joining as Will Scarlet. Which made me wonder what's up with the Will Scarlet as resident hottie trend, if it started with Christian Slater or happened before that. I mean, I love Ray Winstone to pieces, but resident hottie he's not ( Read more... )

I have started collecting files for the older women vid, and as usual with the multifandom stuff, there are different aspect ratios. Now, I personally don't care much, but I know a lot of people do, and I don't want a silly thing like that to stop viewers from enjoying the awesomeness of the characters ( Read more... )

I just got pinged by Jeremy Crawford. (See jeremycrawford for explanations of who this jerk is.) The funniest thing is that he has changed his username - while last time he was ( Read more... )

I have compared the Supernatural boys to Macken's Roy & Roger before (Dean is Roy, Sam is Roger), but this clip really proves it. *laughs self silly* I am sorely tempted to make a vid, except I know that the people who'd get the joke are far fewer than the people who'd go, "I don't see what Supernatural has to do with Macken..." Besides, how could ( Read more... )

I'm done with the Doctor Who story. Whew! It ended up at a bit more than 20,000 words. I still have to read it through and make changes, not to mention have it off to a beta reader, but at least there's an ending.

Anyone interested in doing the beta? I haven't found roseveare online to ask her yet, or heard back from jadelennox, but more betas are always good. It's ( Read more... )

fox1013 has an interesting post that ranges from yuletide to Heroes to other things, and I made a comment stating things I had meant to state about Heroes in my LJ, so I figured I might as well re-post the comment here.

( cut for spoilers up to 2x03 of Heroes )
