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 🙂

Thursday was a tremendously great day. I got to see Todd and Cole in Greensboro. It was sooo great snarking on the Vegas Buffy Homecoming trip and seeing the new baby furniture and getting T.A.G. on DVD. Narayan came up too and just made the trip perfect. After eating more bagels that any one person should Friday morning, the movers showed up and we were on the road.

With a couple of tiny exceptions, my house is set up and ready for visitors. I don’t actually close until tomorrow (Monday), but I stayed there last night and I’m bringing Hobbit today. The new furniture is EXACTLY what I hoped for, though the coffee table was damaged in shipping and the replacement won’t arrive for a couple of weeks. Once I get a new door installed and the table placed, I think I’ll be just as happy as can be.

Come visit me now!

It’s Tuesday!

Good TV tonight…don’t forget. Ben came down this weekend for a quick visit. Chinese, toy shopping, Van Helsing cartoon, much fun. Going to hit the road soon to scout out apartments and jobs and whatnot. Should be interesting to say the least. Horrorfind is coming up soon, so there’s another road trip. GOTTA see Todd and Cole, so there’s another. Man, I hope I have enough gas money 🙂
