School. is. kicking. my. butt.

I do, however, have a 4.0 so far. This is of the good.

Still, I feel very guilty fannishly. It's almost impossible for me to do anything but work and go to school right now. I still have a Sweet Charity video to do. And I can't find time to even edit ten seconds here and there.

*sigh*

Miss you all. Talk later.

Hey, guys. Dudes. Dudettes?

I have been so busy! I went back to school when all your backs were turned and quietly snuck away from fandom. It's rare that I have a spare moment, but I'm gonna be closer to my job soon because I'm finally moving back to the little vermont city, and that'll eek out about an hour and a half of travel time every day. FREE TIME WHEE! Full time school and full time job? I have never worked so hard in my life. But it's worth it. I feel great, and happy, and also, my ex and I kissed and made up and we're having another go at it... and we're very solid. We've both learned to appreciate each other in the two months that we were apart, and it's all very... happy bunnies. I sound like a hallmark card, but I'm just very happy. I do wish I had more free time, but I figure I have less free time now so that I can have more free time later? Maybe. Anyway, I'll have a month off of school in May.

Question for those in the know, about Copyright law, because I'm doing my oral presentation in a humanities course and using it to try to convince people of the artistry of arts that ride the back of other arts... like, say... vidding.

Is there a good place to find examples of cases won in favor of Fair Use? With details, and etc.? I figure my peers would actually be the best place to turn for stuff like this.

I just spent half a day trying to get this uploaded with my internet cap. OH MY GOD, I HATE HUGHES NET!! er, I mean. Enjoy.

Feedback is always appreciated.

I've been wanting to write lately, really bad. Every now and then I take a swing at it again, but I never seem to finish anything. But I have this fic all plotted out, Merlin of course, because that show has inspired all kinds of fannish activity in me, and half written, and.
That's it. That's where I've stopped. I wish it would finish itself. I want to write, but I have absolutely no follow-through.

Once more, I'm working on some angsty layered stuff in the background, but fun crack occupies the front of my brain. I do have some surprises up my sleeve for a Merlin vid once the season finishes out, something I'm looking forward to finishing, and a Supernatural video that is kicking my ass, but actually feels like something I haven't said before, so AWESOME.

Until, then.

CRACK. Crack that ATE MY LIFE.

( Vidding Notes )

I've once again put away everything serious to vid complete crack. In my defense, I made awesome headway on the two serious vids (Nicky, the artsy one I talked to you about is coming along swimmingly).

But. BUT. I've spent a week on this crack-ass vid that a part of me wants to keep all to myself because I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH. I'm enamored of my own vid, even though it's terrible. It's a great feeling. I just know about three people are going to watch it, and everyone else is going to roll their eyes, and I do not even care, because I adore it.

I don't know when I'll get to share it. It's not even done yet, but I'm already worried about this terrible internet connection. I WANT TO SHOW YOU MY VID DAMMIT.

Er, does anyone have a copy of Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" they can megaupload to me?

Don't ask. Really.

I just got a friend request on myspace. From a, "Rodney".

Yeah, my brain immediately went there.

For just an instant I wondered how he was getting internet access from Atlantis. I'm not even kidding. Oh, me. You lose so much sometimes.

BLARGH.

wink.wink.

Nabbed this from ras_elased. Ship me, Slash me.

i ship it.

I have a better internet connection than I thought I would. Downloading is still going to be an issue for a little while though. It slows down WICKED, even when I try to download a screencap pack. Ugh. I'll have to figure something out, because that means no uploading as well, and that's just not going to work at all.

And now? I'm really sore. Like, aching all over, sore. Between moving my bestfriend last week and moving myself this week, I have a hundred tiny bruises, and actual knots on my shins. Someone must have snuck in while I was sleeping and beat me with a sock-covered quarters.

You know what would be really great? If one of you brilliant writers on my friends list would be super sweet to me and write me a Colin/Bradley RPS fluff fic. Yes, I know, whine whine, but there is so little out there, and with those recently released cute extras from the dvds, I'm pathetically into the idea. I'll trade you a vidlet for the fic, even. *bats eyelashes*

And the fic I'd really really like to read?

Bradley getting turned into a baby duck. I KNOW OKAY DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT. I did say it was fluffy right? BABY DUCK FLUFFY. And Colin has to sneak him around on set and make excuses for Bradley, and Bradley trying to wear Arthur's armor, but it's way too big for a duckling, don't you know, and *dies from cute*. And somehow it all works out, and Bradley becomes Bradley again, and is still completely ridiculous, but now he knows things about Colin, like Colin practicing his lines in the mirror like a SERIOUS actor, and how Colin sleeps with his feet outside of the blankets, and that he likes to read scripts on the floor, and they have lots of sex, the end. I haven't even read the story and I want to squish it to pieces. I'm not usually all about the changes-into-animal trope, but I am so in need of comfort tonight, you have no idea. Baby ducks are what I'm all about, okay?

And Bradley gave me the idea. Just, okay, here are a few screencaps from the DVD extras:

( Click here for Baby!Duck!Inspiring!Bradley )

None of you would want to take up that challenge, right? I'd write it myself if I had any talent, but I think this takes a more talented hand than mine to make it not-totally-horrible.

No? No takers.

Yeah, I figured. *sigh* I live to be a lonely bradley-duck lover.

I swear, if this video doesn't make you tin-hat, YOU ARE A ROBOT.

Happy Alone by danegen. Jared/Jensen, RPS.

The most happy-making vid to ever make happy. Truly a joy to watch.

Having now seen Twilight...

I feel a bit like I've been date raped.

WHAT WAS THAT? DID I LIKE IT? DO I WANT IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN?

Those are all very good questions, and god help me, I DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWERS.

Colin/Bradley RPS. It's going to happen. Just accept it, world!

So I'm moving. Again. This time to get away from a broken heart. Aww, boo hoo, sadness all around, I'll be okay, seriously. It's been kind of a rushed process though, and it's really complicating the final stages of my Sweet Charity video. I think for the first time ever I'm not going to be done on time. Tell me I'm not a terrible person!

I really shouldn't have let myself goof off with that Merlin vid. But dammit, I needed a little cheer. And Arthur IS a bitch, I told you so.

Three video clips, for your pleasure. If you're interested in why so many people are watching this show, but don't want to download a whole episode, take a look behind the cut.

( 3 embedded clips of Merlin 1x10 )

They've also been added here, with the detailed episode reaction.

I don't even DO episode reactions for the most part.

MERLIN MAKES ME WANT TO. I just. I dunno. It's a thing. I think I have an actual *crush* on a television show. How does that even work? I can't buy it flowers. Well, I could, but that would just be... weird. Weird-er.

ETA: NOW WITH A FEW VIDEO CLIPS OF THE EPISODE FOR THE CURIOUS

( SPOILER WARNING: Merlin 1x10 )

Did Jensen really just say that? NO FOR REAL SOMEONE TELL ME THIS IS NOT IN MY HEAD, BECAUSE IT REALLY COULD BE.

Jensen: "I gotta sleep next to him (Jared)." @ 7.23min

Fact: Jared and Jensen. Conclusion: THEY ARE TOO FLUFFY BUNNIES TO BE REAL.

Seriously. How are they even in this world and not only in my fevered imagination? I feel like I'm going to wake up one day, and they will have matching wedding bands, and tatts that say "jaredHEARTSjensenHEARTSjared" around their wrists and matching life insurance policies with each others' names as the beneficiaries, and the best part is, I WILL NOT EVEN BE SURPRISED.

Jared and Jensen. People, there might never be two guys in this world who are better BFF's. I'm almost jealous!
