Edit (yes, another one): Just remembered the good advice someone gave me lately about lj-cuts. Trying to employ it.

So ... most of you are never going to the reading that I do with Barthes and Benveniste and Foucault and de Man and all the rest of those guys. For starters, their stuff is hard to find, unless you happen to have access, through a ( Read more... )

So last night Mr. Catastrophe and I trekked on up to Huntsville, Alabama, where the Space and Rocket Center's Museum is showing a traveling exhibit of Star Wars props, etc. tied into real-world science. You could built a mini-droid and stuff, and even ride a hoverlift, but I wasn't really all that interested in the "hard science" stuff. As a kid ( Read more... )

... So I succeeded in finding RotS online and downloading it to my computer (despite already having the DVD). If anybody knows where I can get .wmv files (or comparable) for the other episodes ... let me know, pretty please? I have delusions of fanvidding.

Also: yay for the road trip home! Six hours today, probably ten tomorrow...whew!*

Dear Mace,

You and I have never been especially close, and I know we don't always see eye-to-eye, but I am going to set all that aside right now and just be honest with you.

Honestly, Mace: WTF?

Qui-Gon returned from Naboo by way of Tatooine bearing news that the Sith had returned and also bringing the Chosen One who was born to stop them , ( Read more... )

DEAR ANAKIN: YOUR CRAZY IS SHOWING

Anakin, you are sweet and passionate and energetic and full of zest and compassion and humor, and I truly, deeply love you. And before we die, I want you to know. So because I love you, I have to tell you: Anakin, my darling ... your crazy is showing. I totally heard you blame Obi-Wan for, apparently ( Read more... )

So because two fanvids are apparently not enough, I got all excitable and did and Ani/Obi not-quite-slash that was hilarious to me while I was making it and might be hilarious to you when you're watching it.  Or it might not, depending.  Anyway, you can catch it here:

None of these videos, but especially this one, would have happened without the ( Read more... )

So, basically I don't deserve the squee.  But today, after weeks of trying first one thing and then another, I was FINALLY able to pull together a fan video in iMovie.  It's about ... well, Anakin, what a surprise. :)

Y'all can go and watch it, but I won't be mad if you laugh. It's kind of clumsily edited together, probably because it's my first ( Read more... )

So the Fan Humor in the Archives event was today, which included two fabulous presentations and then mine, too.  I'm posting the flyer for the presentation and the handout that I used, about which: it includes a summary for people who didn't know the story, a reading list for the academically minded, and a seriously restricted rec list for Palpakin ( Read more... )

 So, I was having a conversation with Mr. Catastrophe this evening about my fanfic, because I can trust him not to be excessively complimentary (you wouldn't think that would be a desirable quality in a reviewer, but actually I appreciate honest criticism if it isn't flames, or at least I try to and I'm getting better at it).  He's a good sort.   ( Read more... )
