Vid Recs, Sweet Charity, etc.
1. Sweet Charity (the fannish charity auction) sign-ups are going on until tomorrow, the 28th. Go forth and offer your skills! Vids, fic, art, clothing, baked goods, anything else. (I don't know where the heck I've been because I thought there was a whole week left in the sign-ups.)
2. You know what else is tomorrow? DEXTER PREMIERE OMG.
3. I'm trying to get caught up on SGA because I hear I'll love last night's ep. So far today I've watched "The Queen." Non-spoilery thought: That was really dumb.
Some Vid Recs
Dexter:
I Am The Drug by chasarumba (premiered at this year's VVC)
An urgent craving you cannot ignore
Blood Makes Noise by wyomingnot
The din in my head, it's too much and it's no good.
Stargate Atlantis:
2 Atoms in a Molecule by zoetrope
(Note: Link goes to an outside site. Once you click on the title there, it takes you to a flash animation page. I couldn't find a LJ post to link to.)
This is another example of the charming & impressive creativity when it comes to vidding in SGA. This fandom thinks outside the box. Also, aww. ♥ Sheppard/McKay
Eta: Thanks to sadiane for the post link! Also, check out the companion piece, "Absolutely Cuckoo," which is also linked to in that post.)
Prison Break:
Hide U by lady_m4ryjane
Season 2-centric, the relationships the convicts have outside of prison. I also liked that it focused on how those people's lives are worse as a result.
(The music is a mashup of Kosheen's "Hide U" and Placebo's "The Bitter End." Kosheen is one of my favorite more obscure bands, so I was really excited to see them used in a video, even as part of a mashup. Actually, I really love the combination of the two songs.)

Crack!vid, T-Bag/Michael (season 1). In which T-Bag is Avril Lavigne because he's the motherfuckin' princess. I...just. What. This fandom has no shame, and I love it. Did I mention the crack? I don't even know what to say to this.
