1. For my birthday I got a finally-done-up flat bathroom and kitchen, which is super, super exciting, and we also got a heater last week and we've started to hang our paintings finally (my mother likes to give art - other people's, not hers - as gifts and also she owns a lot of art and we got to steal some), and basically it's all very exciting and the flat feels like home all of a sudden! It's pretty great. I took some photos. My photography is pretty rubbish, but hey.
( a bunch of photos for the bored/nosy )

2. I have been watching the hell out of Fringe lately. That is a good show, y'all. Although sometimes kind of gross.

3. I learnt how to make .gifs!

This is my first one! It is kind of small because tumblr is a brat and LJ/DW aren't really great for gifs. Anyway it's a bit too energy/RAM intensive for me to do often, but it's always fun to have a new skill, you know?

4. I've also been rewatching Stargate - first because

shihadchick and

blademistress were doing it and tweeting about it and that kind of behaviour is contagious, and then because

dazyndara is staying with me and she's watching Stargate for the first time. That's been pretty fun. No exciting opinions yet.

5. I got an external hard drive for the first time in ~4 years. I sort of can't believe it. I remember my first external hd. It was 200G (massive at the time - my laptop held 40G), thirty centimetres long, twenty centimetres wide, and five centimetres deep. It weighed ... well, I never weighed it; it wasn't really heavy or anything. It had a fan and moving parts and you had to plug it in to the wall. It was brushed silver. And it cost like $250. This thing? $110; one terabyte; a nice matte black; completely USB powered; weighs hardly anything; slightly smaller than my hand (I have smallish hands). I don't know what the point of this ramble is except: technology, people!

Also, it's pretty amazing to be able to download stuff and not delete it straight away.

6. I saw Harry Potter! I have thoughts, but I want to see it again before I try to express them.

I just made a whole bunch of new friends, so OBVIOUSLY what I'm doing is posting another meme post. SORRY GUISE. For those playing the LJ game, I just unfriended a bunch of people and communities: people I'm following on dreamwidth who don't flock their entries, and communities that got annoyingly spammy. I really doubt I got up anyone's nose and as you guys know I'm way, way too lazy to flock, but if I defriended you and you want back on, tell me tell me. I was really aiming at consolidating, not cutting. (Also: defriending amnesty. If you've been wanting to, do it, I promise not to cry.)

So this is particularly bad timing for three vids that are all basically Issue Vids. If you have Issues with Issue Vids, steer clear! For these vids I think it's particularly important that you watch them before reading my commentary, so uh. Please do?

Day 16 - A vid that told you something new about a show/movie you already loved
My Medea, by

yunitsa
Joss Whedon shows; Girls in Boxes; premise spoilers for Dollhouse; spoilers for Firefly; Buffy included but (IMO) no significant spoilers; violence against women, general creepiness.

( blah blah )

Day 17 - A vid you wish you had made
Let There Be Guns, by

kuwdora
Stargate: SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis; everybody has guns; tv violence, no spoilers worth mentioning.

I'm not a vidder, so this was tough for me, but this is sort of an attainable goal: I wish I was as witty as this vid. Of course it starts off with a bit of an advantage because it uses a hilarious song, but the spark of genius that first combined the two - well, I desire it! There's nothing much to this vid except wit, and I love it.

Best Bit: Definitely "naw, not me, I got me a rifle." &Vala; The timing on "we could go out and shoot things" is really good, and "we wouldn't need the police no more" is extra-good because it comes from an episode about, like, separationists so I think it's hilarious. The vid mostly depends on visuals rather than canon knowledge, so I like that that's a scene where canon knowledge makes this extra funny.

Day 18 - A vid that made you investigate that vidder's other work further
Bachelorette, by

obsessive24
BTVS, ensemble, spoilers for the whole series, rapid cuts

GUISE GUISE, I know I've recced like fifteen vids which are all RARR JOSS HAS PROBLEMS, but this vid? sort of pro Joss! You should watch it!

( etc etc )

SO THAT WAS A LOT OF TL;DR. Watch some vids, guys!

Current Mood: thirsty

So everyone's seen those 20/30 days of vids/tv shows/fanfiction/whatever memes going around, and I really like them because I like to rec and I like to read other people's recs but I rarely do it without some kind of structure/being forced. So I like that. On the other hand, the chances of me being able to post 20 times in a month are slim to none. Plus, I figure I'd get boring. So I'm going to do my version three at a time, which is one week, and if it takes two weeks then so be it. Also, I'm doing the vidding one, because vids are cool. I figure three vids is about as many as I can expect my random flistie to watch in one day.

Preliminary Notes:
- I really like multifandom vids. Like, really. Half of the vids I plan on reccing are multifandom, so if you don't like those, steer clear.
- The recs are going to be, obviously, skewed towards fandoms I'm in at the moment. I tried for a bit of range, but you're going to see a lot of Jossverse vids, partly because I'm watching Buffy really heavily at the moment, and partly because I have probably read three or four BTVS fics that I enjoyed, but the good vids seem to come one after the other. There are a couple of fandoms that I think have fabulous vids that are notably missing: Battlestar Galactica, Stargate: Atlantis, and Doctor Who. Yeah, IDEK what's going on there, but I'm in a Jossverse place so I'm just going with it. Supernatural gets a little work-out, too.
- I really like political and meta vids, so there's going to be some of that.
