Though there was that one vid to a song by Gackt....

Ugh, winter. I just spent close to a week in Florida (all work, no play) and come back to temperatures that keep dropping below freezing at night.

I feel guilty using one of my Sarah Connor icons when I haven't seen this week's episode yet, but I'm still recovering from last week's awesomeness. So instead I've been gorging on action vids tonight,

Welcome back, and stay warm! Also, it was lovely to meet you finally, which I should have said earlier. I hope election night was fun at the hotel?

The only person I know watching SOA is e_juliana, I think. I hear it's good, but I have limited time/energy, and bikers aren't exactly my thing. Also, I'm binging on TWW reruns on Bravo...

Thanks, and it was great meeting you too! Election night at the hotel was -- odd, but then I hung out with some friends who were in town so it was okay.

My go-to choice for TV critics, Alan Sepinwall (no offense to Tim Goodman!), seems to think that SOA is good after getting off to a slow start. I can't say that bikers are exactly my thing either (though apparently the show has a couple of solid female characters in the mix), but I'm trying to make some contingency plans to fill the void for when The Shield wraps up next week, so I'll probably check it out around the holidays when everything else is on break.

I'm binging on TWW reruns on Bravo...

Heh, I can see why that show might be back in fashion these days. *g* By the way, go Henry Waxman! But I can't see him inspiring the kind of fannish fervor that Rahm Emmanuel has generated recently.

You might want to follow dayIn03 -- she's a vidder who crosses both YouTube and LJ communities, and her work is very interesting.

Thanks! I know I've seen a few of her Supernatural vids.

Hi! First, Thank you for the nice words.
I do pretty much cross worlds. I think, like me, most ppl are introduced to vidding through Youtube. I eventually joined LJ because I realized this is where everyone is, and I wanted to be part of the community. There are so many scary talented vidders on Lj it's ridiculous. LJ really is the place to learn pretty much everthing there is to learn about this hobby. I still upload all my vidz to YT & Imeem because it's just easier to view my vids there & there are vidders on YT that I admire, that are not on LJ.

balistik94 (Bill) Created a community for vidders on YT (http://www.youtube.com/group/artvid) have a vist :)

Hi! I just subscribed to your YT channel last night. I was really glad to come across cool, new-to-me vids by you guys last night on a YT playlist that petetheprince made which included your "My Darkest Side" Spider-Man vid. And I just rewatched your new Matrix vid -- the balance between the relationship & action parts works really well, you have a lot of strong cuts & clip choices, and for a vid that clocks in at something like 4:30 it never drags or loses momentum or focus. Nice!

And thanks for the link -- there's so many vids on YouTube that I've never known how to find the vidders making stuff that I'd most likely be into, so up until now I've mostly stumbled across vids randomly and that can be pretty hit or miss. I was wishing last night for something like a YouTube vid digest, with weekly recs for the most interesting new stuff, especially from people who aren't on LJ. But there's so many vidders out there that I don't know how anybody could sift through all of it. So now I have one YT community that I can check in on regularly.

[balistik94]

Thanx for mentioning us! I know a few other vidders that post their vids on youtube and LJ : DC AKA bananainpyjamas, charmax and mranderson71.

Cool, thanks -- I like all three.
