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 🙂

New Phrase Day

For the first time the phrase “took the mickey outta me” came to mind.  Every school in the free world is out tomorrow due to snowfall–except mine.  The county where I live is covered in snow and has called off school, but the county where I work has only three inches of snow and has decided NOT to call off school.  Damn.

I have to admit, the headline that VP Cheney shot someone made me chuckle today.  I can’t explain it, but I think it was a combination of the headline and the picture that MSNBC used that did it.  Of course I wish the man who was shot a speedy and painfree recovery, but I guess reading Perez has demented me.  All I could think of was Perez saying, “Dick Cheney will shoot a bitch!”

Hey, It’s Me!

It’s time for a general update, boys and girls.  I’m still tired.  Work is starting to reeeeealy pick up the pace.  I *still* don’t have Fandom Room finished.  We are seriously lacking snow.  The end.

Actually, just because I can, and punkimonki on LJ is a genius:
