Hello, friends!

I have not posted (or even kept up with the flist very well) in many months, and I have lots of updates! But the mere thought of typing all that out is exhausting, so I shall simply ask you a Supremely Important Question.

This question brought to you by a "Wolves" slot machine in Las Vegas. (It's been a fun weekend.) :D

So keerawa asked a question recently on dues_research about the location of the 27th District in Chicago. And I made the supreme sacrifice of getting out my DVDs and watching some due South (oh, horrors!) in order to discover the address, and then I started looking up more addresses and locations used on the show, and by this time I was in full-on research mode (renenet, you ( Read more... )

I finally have another vid! w00t! This is: (a) my first collaboration ever, with the amazingly talented and enthusiastic and patient laurashapiro; (b) my first due South vid; (c) my first full-length vid using FCP; and (d) my first VVC submission in two years. It premiered at Club Vivid on Friday.

sdwolfpup has just posted a lovely and insightful Fraser/Vecchio fic, with Ma Vecchio (!!! <3<3<3) as the central character, and I adore this story and you should all go read it right now! And send her encouraging feedback! SDW has just recently jumped into the fic-writing pool; this is one of her first endeavors, and it looks like her fics are gonna be ( Read more... )

A quick update, just so you know:

1. I won't be around much, if at all, for the next week; laurashapiro and I are collabbing on a Club Vivid vid and it's due in ONE WEEK OMG and I am so not ready and there is still lots to be done and have I mentioned yet that I hate deadlines? *spazzes* Anyway. Gonna be keeping my head down and FCP running pretty much nonstop ( Read more... )

First, a shameless self-pimp: I'm in charge of Fridays (Character Day) this month over at ds_recs, and I've been posting about various female characters in due South. So far I've recced Elaine Besbriss, Meg Thatcher, and Maggie MacKenzie (with a small mention of Francesca Vecchio). Quotes, screencaps, analysis, "why this chick kicks ass", and just general ( Read more... )

This morning when I woke up, other than a slightly phlegmy throat, I felt fine. Went to work. Started feeling tired, then weak, then more phlegmy, then even weaker, and right now my body is so sensitive that every inch of my skin feels like it's bruised. It hurts to move. It hurts to roll up the sleeves of my sweater ( Read more... )

So today was a totally sucky day at work, what with every single person in the fucking company coming by my desk every 5 minutes complaining about how they need me to fix such-and-such and can it be done yesterday, please? and somehow I managed to refrain from telling all these people that see, there are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an ( Read more... )
