Okay. So. When the new Star Trek movie came out I went to see it and thought it was a terrific summer movie (except for some gender issues that made me cranky), and didn't think much more about it than that. Then when renenet was here last week we watched a bunch of Star Trek: TOS, which was mildly amusing; it doesn't hit any of my personal buttons, but it's kind of cool to see one of the ur-texts of fandom and particularly of slash, plus it brought home to me just how inspired the reboot!movie casting of Zachary Quinto was.
I've been thinking about the show very little, and about the movie even less; mostly I've been trying to keep my head down and get some work done, because I am behind on everything. I've been spending evenings out in the yard, trying to get the weeds under control and listening to propulsive music in an effort to stay energetic.
And - you can probably see where this is going - on Sunday I got blindsided by a vidsong for the movie, possibly with tiny bits from TOS thrown in.
::throws up hands::
I don't even know! I assumed it was a crappy idea and would flare out after 24 hours as my (many) crappy vid ideas usually do, but two days later I've listened to the song approximately 347 times and the lyrics are starting to have interesting possibilities and it is very shiny source and seriously, somebody stop me, I have two unfinished timelines already and something like thirty ideas in queue plus did I mention I'm behind on everything and have no time right now and the movie isn't even out on DVD yet! (Although I gather that hasn't stopped some intrepid vidders. And apparently the movie works really well to Britney Spears, which... breaks my brain a little bit, but hey, whatever! More fannish joy for everyone, I say.)
I don't even have a Star Trek icon. I'm not sure I actually want a Star Trek icon. (Well. Maybe a Spock icon. Or two. I mean, come on, SPOCK. I am not immune to the awesome.)
...I am so doomed.
