I can't keep on working all of my life / I want to be happy instead
First a few links:
tzikeh would like you to take her poll about usage of 'netspeak in your spoken language.
elynross reminded me I wanted to pimp the livelongnmarry auction, which, in her words, is: a fandom auction to benefit marriage equality. Proceeds are going towards the fight against the California initiative which will legally destroy existing same-sex marriages and ban any further ones. Check out the comm profile for more info.
Vidders, have y'all heard of epic_clipage? I like having the whole episodes in front of me, but that might be useful for some folks.
Here is a really neat vid-meme started by daybreak777: Ever have a moment in a vid that just gets you? Whether it’s the opening chord of the song or the last frame, it’s the cut that you think about while driving, while randomly washing dishes, the cut that makes you think, I have to watch that vid again. Here are some of mine!
Holy cow this was hard. I had to limit myself to the first five that came immediately to mind. Heh. Spoilers for the vids in question, of course, and possibly the fandoms. :) Also, assume that all of these vids are fantastic all the way through, because they are. These are just the bits I always think of.
Hello by merryish (Stargate: Atlantis) - My favorite moment is at 1:42 (I downloaded the vid and re-watched it so I could tell you this) where the music drops back out and when Teyla and John are stick-fighting and I really cannot explain why I love it so much, but the way it's timed and how hot she makes it seem with a simple fade to black at the end just thrills me. I LOVE that moment.
Writing Notes by heresluck (Buffy) - Totally the part where she intercuts from the herb Willow used to wipe Tara's brain to her hugging Tara after she's got her brain back from Glory. Wow. WOW. Such a great moment. I get chills! (Especially with the lyric - "I'd never do anything to hurt you.")
Prophecy by sockkpuppett (Angel) - Angel and Connor with their backs to the door, near the end of the vid. Just thinking about it makes my heart hurt.
Cuz I Can by dualbunny (BSG) - It seems impossible I could pick one moment out of a vid filled with awesome moments, but the bit I always think of that makes me want to watch it again is right at the beginning, the movement of the person bending down at the boxing match to Kara's mug coming down during her drinking session with Lee. Pulls me in every single time. (And also, because I downloaded it to get the timestamp, Kara's smile at 00:44 after she's wrapped her wrists. Katee Sackoff = how so beautiful?)
Hold Me Now by alkampfer81 (Princess Tutu) - First, if you haven't seen this vid because it's anime, don't let that stop you. Please. I linked to the strangefandom post because it tells you how to download it; I can also attest - though I don't approve of people doing this with other fan's vids - that it's up on Youtube. You should download the official vid, though, because it's amazing. The moment I always think of for this vid is when the prince goes spinning and then slams his sword out and then the ravens turn into blades. The music there is incredible and the vidder handles it beautifully.
Wait, wait, I have to do Swing Down Chariot by fan_eunice, too! Because it's a Dogma vid and that bit where everybody starts dancing and then Matt Damon does the little hands-in-the-air dance is for the win.
There are too many excellent vids to list!
Tomorrow is More Joy Day! I am really excited! Which is nice, because I haven't been excited about it until yesterday, so I'm enjoying it. It helps I got most of my MJDay items done yesterday. Heh.
I cannot stop listening to this song. Gorgeous.
