Good morning! And somehow we're already to the last day of the weekend. Ew. But it was a good weekend overall, so it's not so bad. Yesterday, I worked til noon, then we took the dog out for a walk and went to see Superman.

Y'all, it's so much fun. It had a little bit of a slow start, but once it really kicked in, it was awesome. Special props to our new Superman David Corenswet, who was an awesome, sympathetic and believable character, in addition to 100% looking the part. But the movie was absolutely stolen by Edi Gathegi (who got to redeem the shitty way Xmen First Class did his character) who killed it as Mr. Terrific. The other standout was the CGI, especially that relating to Krypto, Superman's dog. It was obvious that James Gunn is a dog lover and that he'd dealt with a hyperactive and recalictrant canine in the past. (As the owner of one, I adored the little collections of pixels.)

I felt like the first half of the plot leaned a little too heavy on putting said dog and an equally pixel-made baby in danger, but it didn't stop me from enjoying it. It even managed to make me verklempt a couple of times. In the end, I didn't necessarily believe in the much less complicated and kind world that James Gunn created, but god I wanted to live there.

After that, we went out to dinner, and had a lovely meal, and then came home and relaxed.

I decided that I wanted to participate in the fannish exchange at the next ghost concert, so I got myself a bead kit, and some temporary tattoo paper and am working on making some shit. I don't know that I'll be able to make too much, but we'll see! I've got four bracelets so far.

This is going to be a long week, waiting for the concert at the end. I picked up a third overtime shift for the month, so I'm going to almost pay for the concert or pay for hotel with that, which is awesome.

Okay, it's time for me to go forth and maybe put on some clothes and consider what I want to make for breakfast. Would I prefer pancakes or a dutch baby. I have some bacon to cook, so that'll go with whatever perfectly. Everyone have a stupendous Sunday!

In which we make another time jump, the Foundation is now in its monarchical phase, while Empire seems to approach its version of the Third Century Crisis. Also: Demerzel is still my favourite.

I had the opportunity to go to a concert of his recently and enjoyed his part of the show exceedingly. The opening act, Puddles Pity Party, was very much not my thing, alas, but Mr. Yankovic is exuberantly himself, the costume changes are lolarious, and the music is inimitably Weird. If you like his work, you'll almost certainly like his concert. Extra points awarded for the songs (not all of them, alas) that had text videos, effectively functioning as closed captioning with a sense of humor.

Also, the audience was full of people wearing extremely cheerful shirts, and made great viewing.

I have not seen the most recent Murderbot yet, but I did spot David Dastmalchian as John Deacon in a clip of Weird-the-biopic which was played at the concert, so that's almost the same thing, right? I was very proud of my facial recognition software for picking up on that. I would like to belatedly award points to the casting department for finding a way to get another MENA-descended person into Queen, which is a great joke I didn't get at the time.

I loved the new Murderbot short story, which I read aloud to my SO.

It's Saturday! We decided to switch Superman to today, since we were both still a little hung over from the concert yesterday, and neither of us was excited about being out late. Today, I work from 8-12, and then we have the movie at 1:30, then the MD German Festival for dinner. It should be a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to it.

Yesterday, the person who normally makes calls for the team was out, so I was kept jumping. At any given time, I'd have four or five emails of people to call. I got all of them done, so that's something. Scheduled a lot of people for STAT tests.

At about eleven, my boss thanked me again for helping out. He said he'd depleted his balance of points for our in house recognition system, but when they replenished, he was sending some my way, but he also wanted to do something else. He's trying to decide what. (Money is always a good thing. lol)

Cut for some mental health thoughts )

Tomorrow, I have my Strixhaven game, which is always fun. It's a game light weekend, but that's okay. We're going to actually go. out and do things! Movie! German festival! It's going to be a good weekend, I think.

On that note, I'm going to go forth and get myself together. Everyone have an amazing Saturday!

June postal mail from fen brought me a beautiful card from [personal profile] elayna. It's colored by hand and she indicated that it was done in pencil -- must be some very special kind of pencil -- there's a depth of color and a shine to it that doesn't look like other pencil-work I've seen. And she pointed out that with one of the images being a compass and one of the images being a wolf or wolf-dog it made her think of due South. Also, she put a wolf sticker on it and used a maple-leaf postage stamp. I <3 everything about this card very much!

Amedia puffs in belatedly with info on tomorrow's online binge watch ... (Possibly today's, depending on when you're seeing this message! Saturday the 12th, at any rate.)




    We're watching an anime called Sakamoto Days about a retired hitman who runs a convenience store. I know practically nothing about it, but it sounds simultaneously cute and violent and tbh, I am here for that. ;-)


    Here's a link to the Netflix trailer.


The binge begins at 2 p.m. Eastern time (US) and usually runs until 5 or 6 pm. Here's the Zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/91462849358?pwd=TzNLZnplUDFCcVVTUE96dzhmam9Odz09

prozacpark: (PLL - Ali's funeral)
[personal profile] prozacpark posting in [community profile] vidding
So, I am looking for a fanvid made for festivids for “Snow White: a Tale of Terror” called “Bare your Teeth” using Lady Gaga’s teeth by vidder e- transitions back in 2010.  

I seem to remember having accessed it either through YouTube or Vimeo at some point but all of the old links I have found link to a download on the vidder’s personal website, which no longer exists.  

I’m hoping for a link or if someone had downloaded it at some point and still has it, I would be forever grateful.  

Noms Close in Two Days

(Link to tagset for convenience)

No further queries at this time. Nominations will close Sunday, July 13th at 9:59PM Eastern Time. What time is that for me?

If your nomination was rejected, it was because it was not disambiguated (aka putting the fandom name in parentheses after the ship). The correct format is Relationship!Character/Relationship!Character (Fandom). The disambiguation just needs to be clear enough to us so that we can associate your ship with a fandom in the back end.

For example: Adopted Sibling!Aerith Gainsborough/Adopted Sibling!Sephiroth (Compilation of Final Fantasy VII) would be acceptable, as would disambiguating with (Comp of Final Fantasy 7) (CoFFVII) (CoFF7), etcetera. A full explanation of formatting rules, such as abbreviations for relationships to save on characters, can be found here.

Please disambiguate. If you nominated a ship in one of the following fandoms, it may have been rejected. Please double-check that it was formatted correctly, and then resubmit if it wasn't. If you believe we made an error, please drop us a line.
