Babies and Trends and Stuff

3 Comments

Saturday was awesome. Todd and Cole’s baby shower was much fun and I’m pretty sure the baby is going to be the most stylin’ tot in the world. It was so good to see them again and I hope it won’t be such a long time before the next visit. Sunday was NOT awesome. I spent the day at a birthday party…for a ONE year old. Jeez, what exactly is the point of such a thing?!! I was roped into going with my mom to my cousin’s baby’s party. Yeah. Lame.

Moving on, I’ve started to notice some definite vidding trends in certain fandoms. Stargate SG-1 seems to be ruled by 70’s music. SGA is all about trying to “out-cool” the others. LOST is all about A/U. All of these trends have worn out their welcome as far as I’m concerned. Meh. This is not to say that some of the best vids I’ve seen haven’t sprung from these trends (ok, maybe not the SG-1 thing…), but when the whole fandom gets on that (or any) bandwagon, it just becomes a breeding ground of mediocrity. So I say, yes, bring back the simple stuff. Or not. Whatever floats your boat 🙂

What’s that sound?

Oh, that’s the sound of CRUNCH TIME! I have an assignment due by noon, and as always, I haven’t started it. Actually, I have started it, I just haven’t started writing it. Lucky for me, we have another snowday!

We had a snowday Monday and I had to attend the state ACT conference yesterday in Charleston (a big thank you to the ever wonderful for his hospitality and assistance and to for just being himself). To be granted this day off is really a blessing for me–I can actually do my work.

Once I get my paper done, I plan to have fun today *glances longingly at ‘s newest vid*. I can’t wait to see it, but I’m holding it as my reward for finishing my paper, so I’m waiting. Maybe. Hehehehe. Happy Hump Day, everyone!

Find, er, yourself. I’ve been out of the loop in major ways lately. Between work and school, I haven’t done much online. I have no new layouts, no new vids, I rarely comment on journals, heck, I rarely see journals. I sincerely hope that my decade of blogging hasn’t been a phase that I’m slipping out of. Yeah, that ended with a preposition, so what? Anyway, to update:

Lost was fantastic last night. Like Todd said, Eko selecting trees made me giddy. Charlie’s story not boring me to tears pleased me greatly. Locke creeping me out pleased me just as much as anything, and Hurley setting up his story has me looking forward to more from him. Two thumbs up…just like Hurley would do 😉

Fanvid-Recs continues to receive new submissions and we’re up to something like 60 vids now. Nearly all of them are just flawless vids and I’ve been able to see vids from fandoms I haven’t really been in to very much. It’s just how I wanted it to be. Yay!

I rocked my first assignments in each of my classes. I don’t think I should have too much of a problem pulling a couple of “A”s out of them.

Hobbit is doing fine. She’s lost a lot of weight and looks much sleeker, but she’s retained her cuteness. She still wants to overeat, but that’s our fault for feeding her four times her recommended amount daily for the first year and a half of her life.

I’m doing fine, I suppose. I visited Ben and Jesse for a bit which is always a great way to feel alive again. I’m almost considering contemplating getting out of the house more, but I’m not ready to commit to that idea just yet. Heh. Hopefully, I’ll do a little something and have more to write about at some point. Until then…
