Let Them Vid Cake!!!

ACK!! Previous posts did not mean that The South is a happy shiny lalalala land of misunderstood progressives. Not at all. Just don't give up on us, cause I see a lot of hope here.

And that is ALL I have to say about it now and I am retreating back into my fannish world where Vampires can go good, Cheerleaders can become chosen ones, Astronauts alternatively save and damn the Universe, a train can mean many many things - but it always means this one particular thing, needles are hot, red-eyed writhing on the ground is even hotter, Diabolical Love is still love, finding your Gay Man Purpose could be as simple as wearing tighter pants, and puppets know twu wuv.

So I came home last night with a liter of vodka and a vat of olives and a brand new shaker. Go Me. I deserved it. I think.

I also tried to vid a few martinis in and that didn't go over so well.

I fell asleep way early on with result being that when I got up this morning, everyone else is still asleep. Such is the way the cookie crumbles and dear god, since talking to tzikeh last night - I want cookies.

Lum has posted her vid. Go check it out if you missed it - "Mr Brightside" by the Killers and it is just a wonderful exercise in POV and and Angel as a character and his emotional maturity.

I loved listening to Lum while making this vid. "Angel is about 19," she proclaimed one day. I looked on doubtfully. "I am giving him points for being a hero," she explained. Later on, she revised that age to 16. I just smiled and would have raised an eyebrow if that was a skill I possessed. Finally Lum admitted he was 15 and I looked over at the 15 year old heartsick boy crashed out on my couch watching "The Invisible Man" and so feeling the weight of an unfair world -

he tried to take Family Medical Leave this week from walking the dog because his heart was broken:

Dawn: I don't think you can do that - Sissy will probably fire you if you don't walk him once a day.

The Boy: I'm pretty sure it's the law (again referring to the FMA).

So - yeah. Poor Angel.

Lum moves thru vid farr at a very different rate than me. I tend to catch the tail end of her farr and try to ride it out until I am sufficiently invested in my project to self-sustain. This latest round has been kind of unusual in that I had a first draft of my vid fairly quickly.

But as renenet is quick to point out - a first draft only. I am entering my "look at the project sideways" phase of vidding. I don't know anyone else who does this. Do you do this? Renenet has given me these great ideas and revision things - and also has demanded that I cut down on "cake" clips.

sisabet: I am trying to juxtapose that it isn't always ANGST/DEATH -sometimes there is cake
renenet: this vid is not about cake
renenet: cake is jarring
sisabet: but the cake is sooo cute
renenet: there are tiny little crumbs of cake in other places, but this cake is too cakey

I love her so. I am excited about finishing the vid but...

Right now I can't do that by watching the vid straight-on. I know what needs to be done, but in order to do I have to distract myself. So, I've quit listening to the song and instead moved onto another song. A song about Deadwood and Death and Angst.

So I want to vid cake. I really really do. I just don't seem to think that way on my own.

On the positive side - I was telling heresluck last night - I decided the POV of my Deadwood vid was God and that it was God in Emmylou Harris Form and now I have this to amuse me in my brain:

sisabet: and I realized the POV of WaTexas... is God
sisabet: and God would take Emmylou form
sisabet: and then I naturally went to Wondertwins
sisabet: cause of the word form
sisabet: and I was all God and Jesus Diety-Twin Power Activate
sisabet: complete with purple jumpsuits
here'sluck: ......
here'sluck: ......
here'sluck: ......
sisabet: and I needed to tell you
here'sluck: I have missed your brain SO MUCH.
sisabet: cause God was all "Form of...Emmylou Harris"
sisabet: and Jesus was "Shape of those coolass cowboy boots from Blue Kentucky Girl"

Now I am off to the comic book store and the CD shop. My I-Man DVD for "The Other Invisible Man" has a scratch on it and I need to see if my dude can fix it cause I need that ep for the vid. Also - I need Nightwing... for other reasons.

And cake!

(no subject)

So my CD store guy had Quantum Leap S1 dirt cheap and I need to distract myself from I-man for a good couple of hours so my life is now set.

Off to dye my hair and join Sam as he realizes his brain is Swiss Cheese. YAY!

Fighter Pilot! I REMEMBER WHEN THIS AIRED!
