I made it! Also, DW and SGA

I am here in Springhill Suites in Chicago at Vividcon. Yay! Transportation wasn't too much of a hassle besides minor things like forgetting my iPod USB cord *face palms* and things being slow. But it is all worth it now that I am here with VVC people that I know and wireless internet. Looking forward to seeing more people!

The only bad thing is I'm still not finished with Doctor Who (finished 3x06) and SGA (finished 3x15). The good news is I am LOVING both seasons of both shows. The Doctor Who S3 plots are exactly what I love (DALEKS=love), Shakespeare/Harry Potter, Doctor backstory and I can't wait to get to the Jack episodes. I am enjoying Martha a lot, at the moment I like her a bit better than Rose but they're both enjoyable in the end and I do love how Rose is not forgotten. Somehow I have gone from thinking the Tenth Doctor is mildly cute to SQUEE cute and really hot in that lanky way. So that certainly helps.

As for SGA, I have gone from a crush on Rodney to fullblown, total fangirl LOVE. He's on my OTC list now. I want the show to be All About Rodney so I've LOVED McKay and Mrs. Miller and The Tao of Rodney both which overloaded my squee-o-meter and left me in a ecstatic, blissful state all evening. The Game was also perfect and slashy and cuteness of McShep so I loved it almost as much. And I am really loving the plots of the show and how they're making the Wraith complex villians and not just one dimensional, disco clothes wearing bad guys.

I will definitely get these finished before Premieres because I will NOT be spoiled for them. I'll probably be watching both starting with Doctor Who tonight so if anyone wants to watch them with me, I'd love to watch with fellow fans. And still I am just SO glad I made it to VVC and it's finally here and I have a whole day to relax and meet people before programming starts tomorrow. YAY VIVIDCON!

So cool :) Who have you met ????
and good luck with catching up on shows :)

Oh I've met everyone. Seriously. I couldn't list all the names but probably about half the people coming. Everyone is so awesome, being with vidders/vidfans and other fans in general is too wonderful for words. Coming on Thursday is great because I get to know everyone.

Thanks!

I am enjoying it so much!

Apart from the Dalek 2 parter, I thought the 2nd half of Dr Who S3 is by far the stronger half...it really made me like DT more with tempered performances instead of the angry speed monkey he would often become in crisis times.

Wait til you reach Ep 10 (my favourite of the season) & the follwoing 3 parter to finish things off for the year...some AWSM viewing there!

So I've heard...can't wait to watch it all!

Hey! I'm so glad you're having fun at Vivid-Con. I'm glad the transportation worked out, too...and I'm glad you got your book to sign but what happened to LoTR?! (j/k)
Anyway, I have somehow gone crazy obsessed with Heroes since we finished it and I have this crazy urge to watch the entire season over again! At the very least I want to watch the amazing episodes again, i.e. the Noah (Noah!!!) and Claire episode (forget what it's called), Five Years Gone, the Hard Part, etc. I also have a crazy urge to watch that amazing Sylar vid again...I also need to download that song, since I also love it...luckily, I'm going to bestbuy and getting a LAPTOP tomorrow so that shouldn't be much of a problem for long. XD
Anyway...come home soon so we can marathon Heroes AGAIN! I don't know if I can wait for the 28th to buy the dvds myself...heh.

I already have Fellowship of the Ring with me so I didn't want to take your copy too. Didn't have time to read it though. I will make a cd/dvd for you when I get home for Heroes. The Sylar video is here (http://obsessive24.net/videos.html) if you want to download it. I don't think I'm going to marathon Heroes again but the good episodes definitely. The waiting is going to suck but it'll be worth it in the end.

Yay Doctor Who! I loved the third series so much it's not even funny.

[identity profile] anoel.livejournal.com 2007-08-10 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm starting to love it as well. Good to finally get the DW love :) And now I really need a DW icon...

BTW (this has nothing to do with your post): I got a laptop! Sony Vaio, 2 GB memory, 120GB hard drive, 15.4" screen. Best of all, it was relatively cheap...$800 (on sale from $1000). Only thing that concerns me is the graphics card, it's an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 with 224MB video memory. What do you think?? Opinions?? The computer's still in the box and totally returnable. I bought it on kind of a whim and now I'm second-guessing myself, or experiencing buyer's remorse, or something...
Anyway, I hope you're having a ton of fun! :)

[identity profile] anoel.livejournal.com 2007-08-11 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
It sounds good :) Problem is the graphics card is integrated but that might be okay if you're not doing serious gaming. I'm not sure how it is for vidding though. Here's a link: http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3056&guide=Graphics+Card+Guide+2006 but it just talks about gaming. There is this "you won't get very good performance at all on Sims 2 with the GMA" which I found on a forum so I'm not too sure how you'd feel about that. For video editing though it should be good although a dedicated graphics card would help with effects and stuff.

I am! Having the best time of my life again. It's awesome :D

Oh Rodney McKay... *sighs* He's the only man I would ever concider leaving my fandom for.

Wow, I am really late on this but yes! Mmm Rodney. And now you are ;)
