Babies and Trends and Stuff
Saturday was awesome. Todd and Cole's baby shower was much fun and I'm pretty sure the baby is going to be the most stylin' tot in the world. It was so good to see them again and I hope it won't be such a long time before the next visit. Sunday was NOT awesome. I spent the day at a birthday party...for a ONE year old. Jeez, what exactly is the point of such a thing?!! I was roped into going with my mom to my cousin's baby's party. Yeah. Lame.
Moving on, I've started to notice some definite vidding trends in certain fandoms. Stargate SG-1 seems to be ruled by 70's music. SGA is all about trying to "out-cool" the others. LOST is all about A/U. All of these trends have worn out their welcome as far as I'm concerned. Meh. This is not to say that some of the best vids I've seen haven't sprung from these trends (ok, maybe not the SG-1 thing...), but when the whole fandom gets on that (or any) bandwagon, it just becomes a breeding ground of mediocrity. So I say, yes, bring back the simple stuff. Or not. Whatever floats your boat :)
