| Spring Break |
[Apr. 9th, 2006|08:18 pm] |
So its finally Spring Break and boy do I need it. I plan on spending it by watching lots of TV shows (mostly Due South and Buffy), reading, vidding and of course, sleeping. I may even try my hand at a bit of writing, not sure.
I'm trying to see if I can finish most of the episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer this week as I've only seen random episodes and vids for the show and figured I need to get the whole experience. Compared to Firefly, I do struuggle a bit with really identifying and loving the characters but I do relate to Willow somewhat and like all the characters, especially Giles and later I love Spike. I will say though, that Angel looks sooo much younger in the first season and that it makes him so much hotter. He's so pretty and has the whole mysterious thing going for him. Speaking of pretty, Fraser has reached the top of that scale for me. I'm on the sixth episode now and I keep repeating how beautiful he is. In that pure, utterly gorgeous and angelic type way. Definitely one of my favorite characters of all time as I can't help falling for his good character and honor and cuteness. And I love all his different environment pain and naivity to the ways of Chicago. Fraser and Vecchio are just too cute together, really funny and although I'm more behind them in a friendship with a light side of slash way, they definitely have their moments. I'm looking forward to the Fraser/RayK episodes though, after falling in love with them by seeing Burning Down the House and Eclipse and am now restraining myself to stay in order. And it is here where I have to rec one of my favorite videos from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) heres_luck, "Out here" which shows Fraser's pain so well but also has an amazing sequence with so many emotional stages and final victory. It's blows me away everytime. Also another rec for a story for Fraser/RayK would be one of my favorites, Heavy Bag by katallison that gets to me everytime I read it. And while your there, End of the Road is one of the most amazing stories I've ever read.
Speaking of fic recs, I just read one of my favorite fics ever that's gotten me back into Duncan/Methos and fic reading. Check out Straight and Low by lastrega. Found it randomly and got hooked with its funniness and it being incredibly HOT. Some fics just hit my kinks *perfectly*. Walls and seducing always get to me and this one did not disappoint. So now I'm back into DM/M and planning on seriously working on my video that I planned for them last fall. It'll be much better now since I can use my dvds to vid. And I have another vid idea for them which I think could turn out well. Duncan/Methos vid ideas don't come to me very often but when they do, they hit hard. It feels like the song is made for the ship and the voice just calls to me that its completely them. Really want to vid them now, overtaking the two vids that I actually wanted to work on this break. But I don't mind, I just need to vid and stop doing nothing. It's been too long since I seriously undertook it. This couple is actually the one that I'm going to try to write for. We'll see what happens there.
On another note, I got into Chapman University with good financial aid and a nice scholarship and I think I might be going there. Having a great film school right there is extremely tempting...
ETA: I am reeeally excited for VividCon. I can't believe I'm going and that I'll have a chance to be around tons of vid meta, new videos and amazing vidders. Sounds like heaven to me. |

So I saw the fandom meme going around and decided to just fill it in myself for a bunch of my fandoms. Always fun to think about.
Firefly
1. The character I first fell in love with: Mal. Obviously. Was in love with him from the beginning and was oh so happy to find a Joss character that I was hopelessly in love with.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: That'd be Zoe. Watching the series again, I'm liking her more and more whereas at first she seemed a bit one dimensional to me.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't: River. I enjoy her funny lines but am meh about the crazy girl stuff. She did get better in the movie but I still don't get the love.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates: Um...do people hate characters in this fandom?
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer: Well I still have a bit of love left but I'm liking Simon less than I did before. I got caught up in the hotness before but he can be a bit of an idiot although it is perfect to make fun of. Although he's great in Ariel.
6. The character I would shag anytime: Mal. Guhh. He is to die for.
7. The character I'd want to be like: Mal definitely. I'm a lot like Kaylee but it'd be fun to be more like her as well. Also it'd be cool to be like Zoe.
8. The character I'd slap: Probably Simon for being so easy to fool. But in a good way.
9. A pairing that I love: Anything with Mal except Book and River ie Mal/Simon, Mal/Jayne, Mal/Kaylee, Mal/Zoe, Mal/Inara, etc. Also I like Jayne/Simon and Jayne/Kaylee.
10. A pairing that I despise: There's none that I really hate, just don't get a few. Not into River so anything with her, I'm not into. Didn't use to like Wash/Zoe but I'm warming up to them.
( More (Veronica Mars, Grey's Anatomy, Queer as Folk, Highlander, Nip/Tuck) under the cut ) |

Just wanted to give a (belated) happy birthday to tinamishi! Hope you had a wonderful day and received lots of wonderful gifts :)
In other news, I'm so glad it's Thanksgiving break and I'm planning to work on my HL vid all 5 days. Started clipping yesterday, hoping to finish that by tomorrow so I can really get going on the video. I want to try not going in linear order like I usually do and just throw some clips on the timeline and see what works. |

| OMG Methos!! |

Wow. How did I miss this one? So apparently there's a new Highlander movie in the making and Methos ie Peter Wingfield is going to be in it. It's called Highlander: The Source (http://www.highlander-thesource.com/) and it just started filming October 17th. I soo cannot wait for next year, all this great stuff is happening. But more Methos! Yay. I didn't think I'd ever see more of him besides what I haven't seen, which coincidently, I'm watching right now. I'm working on planning a Methos pov vid right now actually and its renewing my Methos love big time (which just takes watching one scene...). Perfect timing for perfect news.
In other news I loved the last Grey's Anatomy. It didn't kill me emotionally (just haven't been in the mood for that recently) but it had its moments and it was hilarious in some parts. I still am not over Cristina's boyfriend declaration, such a cute and funny scene. I wish it was Sunday every day.
Today is also the first day of NaNoWriMo (http://www.nanowrimo.org). I'm going to try it with the story idea I have but who knows if I can get it done, my writing motivation being what it is. Deadlines do help though so we'll see. Don't want to give away too many details but basically its going to be a fantasy/sci-fi/romance epic type story. Going to try for 2,000 of the 50,000 words today. |
