- Getting stuff done, yay! Although in odd order and at odd times.

- I am somewhat absurdly obsessed with Lamb's Gorecki right now even though it is both cliched and old news. Um, I'm working on a Face of Boe FST.

- Daleks in Manhattan. Wow. I don't know what to say about that other than Pig Slave Mutant Dalek Human Hybrid WHUT??!?!? Actually I found Dalek Sek's evolution to be even more revolting/disturbing/comical. And I do have to say it fills me with joy that my city has a place in the mythology of the Whoniverse. Can you tell I'm just burning through these episodes to get to the thing at the end of the season I know about but haven't seen?

- I feel very solid today, after feeling like I was flying apart at the seams for the last couple of weeks and not in a good way. I am also deeply away of how fragile that solidity is. So I've got a certain quiet/heavy thing going on. And really want to be around people, but am really better served by taking a lot of late night walks alone right now. I don't know what I'm processing, but I can tell I am, just not at a particularly conscious level.

- The heat here is insufferable, but there's been lots of strong wind, and it's been making me itch to go flying like crazy which is stupid because I hate flying in summer. Hate hate hate. Because the plane bounces around like crazy and it makes me nauseated as all hell. So in a way I am glad I have this bug that I can't afford in $$ or time right now when I know better than to do it, because it will make me full of hate and pukeyness (pukiness? how would you spell that?). It's probably just a sign that Kali and I should get back to our WWII screenplay (yes, there's a WWII screenplay, and it completly pre-dated current obsessions, I might note! Product of our obsession with Flyboys which no one else saw even though it is WWI slashy goodness and they had a lion!)

- I am still a freak magnet. Today I saw a guy crossing the street with a cat sitting on his head.

- This vid! Oh this vid! It's so why I love this fandom in a I'm a big goddamn sap sort of way. I totally want to have it on my IPod, and while I know how to do that stuff with YouTube this has thwarted me. (So if you can figure it out, let me know. I know I should just be able to downlaod and convert, but when I download it downloads some 15 second ad instead).

Today I saw a guy crossing the street with a cat sitting on his head.

This vid! Oh this vid!

Dear gods yes!!!

[redstapler.livejournal.com]

That video is amazing!

I don't usually have the attention span for that sort of thing, but WOW!

Well done to the director for picking so many perfect moments.

Because I am a movie trailer whore good vids just break me, but there aren't many.

[redstapler.livejournal.com]

Back when I was writing "Secret Chord," I had visions of a Deathly Hallows trailer set to "Hallelujah."

It so captured my brain, I even pitched the idea of a fan trailer contest to a friend of mine who works with Warner Bros, just so I could do it.

Kali and I have actually pretty much storyboarded a Descensus trailer.

[marchek.livejournal.com]

That's an amazing video. The shots and the pacing are right on target. I've never heard the song before but it's perfect.

Thanks for sharing.

Did the guy know the cat was there?

[used_songs]

That was such a good vid, and I really liked the song, too.

I never did get why the Daleks turned human slaves into pug slaves. How would that benefit the Daleks???

[rm.livejournal.com]

pug slaves! I wish they had been pug slaves!

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

Wow, I must wish they had been too! XD XD XD

meanwhile, more obedient? tasty? early hybridization experiment to test human suitability for such things?

[laufeyette.livejournal.com]

you made it through Daleks in Manhattan? congratulations. it's all gold from here forward.

you simply must let us know what you think of The Family of Blood. :)

[gement.livejournal.com]

Indeed. My partner, who's nearly as die-hard about DW as I am, almost stopped watching after Daleks in Manhattan.

Re: Family of Blood though, I wonder if rm will think the persistence of the balloon is as dumb as I thought it was. Time will tell. And now she'll be sure to mention it, either way.

I laughed out loud. Only YOU. heheheheh

[tdanaher.livejournal.com]

I made a link for you.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1641367177611417638&hl=en

You should be able to download it for your iPod from there.

[rm.livejournal.com]

You are glorious.

Hi I'm not really here, really, because I'm busy! with chores! and packing for a trip! really! *nodnodnod*

But I just wanted to drop you a link to se's journal where you can download a higher-res version. "This is Everything" is one of my favorite vids in the whole world. Also, more of se's vids here, of which I particularly recommend Expectations (Ianto!), I'm a Terrible Person (Owen!), I Will Do These Things (Gwen!), and Set Fire to the Third Bar (Iantooooooooo!).
