Never Better

I"m on a vidding kick. One new and an update of my Pike vid. And I have a Kirk/McCoy one to Song 2 by Blur coming within the week. Depending on my schedule.

Title: Hero of this Story
Fandom: Star Trek
Rating: PG
Clips from Star Trek XI, Song is Hero by Regina Spektor
Characters/pairings: Gen, Kirk, Spock, and Pike. Musings on leadership and failure.

(  Vid under here! )

And the updated Pike vid:
Title: The '59 Sound
Fandom: Star Trek
Rating: PG
Clips from The Cage and Star Trek XI, Song by The Gaslight Anthem
Characters/pairings: Gen, Pike focused with an occasional wink at Pike/Number One

( Most of the edits are mid-end if anyone cares... )

Title: Apocrypha
Words: 736
Rating: PG
Pairing/Characters: Number One, some Pike/Number One
Summary: She does not have a name and that is fine with her.
Notes: Mashed up references to various Number One canon/speculation etc.

( She has never relied on a name to define her )

Comment and I will comment back with a picture of the fictional character that most reminds me of you. Then post the same in your journal.

Warning, they will probably make no sense. Just saying.

Because I love procrastination and tonight is my last real chance to do so until thursday:

Give me a character (or multiple characters, or a pairing, or a theory, or a ridiculous AU, or anything you like, really) from a fandom (er, preferably one that I'm familiar with. If you don't know whether I know a fandom or not, feel free to ask. Crossovers are absolutely fine), and a theme to go with it (by 'a theme' I mean anything that will give me some idea of where I'm going - be as vague or as specific as you want to be), and I'll write you a one-sentence fic. You may make as many requests as you like; I may answer as many as I feel capable of.

I don't know why they decided it was a good idea to make us rehearse on a friday night but here I am, making puppets and dancing & singing around to songs that aren't even in the show for the past two hours. And we aren't done yet! Instead of out bowling and playing laser tag with my friends. I am damned dedicated to making this show not suck.

Oh my life.

At least I'm well rested and 90% on top of my work lately. I have also had too much caffeine today. Oops.

Another fun meme brought to you by rfreebern.

I can't wait to go out tonight. I intend to cause shenanigans with my tricorder.

Guys: I made a fan vid.

Yep. A Star Trek vid even.

A Pike vid.

Yeah.

Edit for info since this has gotten pimped around a bit:
Title: The '59 Sound
Fandom: Star Trek (duh)
Rating: PG
Clips from The Cage and Star Trek XI, Song by The Gaslight Anthem
Characters/pairings: Gen, Pike focused with an occasional wink at Pike/Number One

( I don';t think it completely sucks so it's under here if you want to look... )

God I'm a dork. I blame startrek_diary

"Using only episode names from one TV show, cleverly answer these questions. Try not to repeat an episode title. It's a lot harder than you think! Repost as "My life according to ..."

( I chose Buffy.. )

Hidden talent I didn't know I had #48: Making up limericks.

I've been rping in limerick form for the past few hours. It's going much better than I thought.

Somehow I pulled an A+ off on my last history of Illustration assignment.

I did it in about an hour, hour and a half tops including all of the research. 500 words, half compare contrast of two posters of my choice and half a biography on an illustrator from the 1800's. I also turned half of it in a minute late. Oh well! good thing I decided to do it, I almost skipped it.

In other news, betrayme's friend Gwen is visiting and arrived safely about an hour ago and startrek_diary owns my soul. Otherwise life as usual, procrastination and lots of doodling.

Black & White Ball tomorrow night, I'm excited and have my outfit all picked out because I am a dork.


I should probably sleep soon, but I've been terrible about that lately...

Best parody of the scene I've come across. omgomgomg
I was dying of laughter, which is proof I am a complete dork when it comes to type.


in other news Cabin in the Woods released teaser posters today: http://www.fearnet.com/news/b16086_sdcc_2009_cabin_in_woods_teaser_poster.html

I'm in love. I don't want to wait 7 months to see it, I want it now.

Today I skanked around twitter following Comic Con madness. Adam of Mythbusters challenged followers to find him in costume, madness ensued, hints were given, very bad guesses were guessed... but no one saw him (or saw and realized it was him at least) until later in the day when he'd changed out of the costume. He promises to tell tomorrow.

Also Wil Wheaton is going to be in The Guild season 3 as a villain and the Guild cast dressed up as their game characters for their panel. They are amazing on all counts.

I suppose you might want to know something real-world-y but my life is boring. Tomorrow I'm going to the botanical gardens outside of chicago and I bought Good Omens(at long last) and Deadeye Dick(a Vonnegut) tonight. I intend to finish at least one tomorrow, if not both.

I am breaking my lj silence to squee about Doctor Who, and Dollhouse, and probably something else fandom-y that I have now forgotten....











in non-fandom news my life is lame and I'm working on a design for threadless. That's about it.

Jumping on the 'here's my prospective schedule' train:

M 1-6 Artist's book (fine artyness and crazy all in one!)
W 1-6 SCREENPRINTING AT LAST
F 1-6 Editorial Illustration, which, despite being my major and with tom garret I'm least excited for. but I need the practice and take a semester without and illustration course would be dumb...
and then I'm taking History of Illustration with is all online.

I'm excited for no night classes. They are probably my least favorite things ever. Lithography on Tuesdays is my alternate. Which would be really cool, I may take it next spring...

w00t.

hmm, I should probably go work on my hw now. I have to write a proposal to email by tonight. I should get on that.


Also I'm using the little mermaid as my comic final ^^; THIS TIME MY GROUP CHOOSE IT NOT ME. It's going to be cut paper and siloheuttes and I am very very excited, I'm thumbnailing/sketching today.

EDIT: LOL I turned in my sheet without Artist's Book on it. my internship spot was on it instead. FAIL. I went by and fixed it, I'll get my fixed schedule tomorrow. Everything else is set though!

Which internet meme are you? You're a Rick Roll! You're no stranger to love… You've gone beyond a joke just for the internet community and have hit the mainstream. Guaranteed to bring a smile to everyone's face, you're both sweet and funny - the first few times people encounter you, anyway!

this is a beautiful thing.

Fuck you snow! It's very unfair imo.

and I didn't bring a hat today, or wear boots. boooooooo.


in other news I keep having weird dreams, and I've actually gotten some things done today which is an improvement on the rest of the week.

Tomorrow I go see Rent downtown, I'm very very excited. It's gonna be awesome.

WATCH IT.


It's so pretty, I cannot wait until october!

hilarious....and kinda true.

the full text was better:

Ooh... somebody's wearing their classy pants. You're not extravagant or show-offy, but you appreciate having nice things, like a designer mug instead of a disposable to-go cup. You're calm and confident, so you'd be perfectly comfortable ordering coffee at a sidewalk cafe in Paris or at a restaurant that's so fancy they don't even put the prices on the menu. No matter where you go, you won't let anyone intimidate you -- you demand respect.


I should sleep soon...

...I think they are replacing tuesdays as my shitty day.

I didn't go to class, didn't get any work done, etc etc, I'm a lazy dumbass lately.
Spring needs to get here faster. I am in serious need of recuperation.




LOL OMG NEVERMIND I CAN HERE MY NEIGHBOR UPSTAIRS WATCHING THE BUFFY MUSICAL EPISODE.

THAT MEANS THE WORLD IS AWESOME.

The internet is boring me and I have class until 9:00...and it's a workday! A perfect excuse to internet, but I'm already bored.

In other news I lost my cell phone last night. I think it fell out of my pocket when public safety gave me a ride home last night. I hope. I had it right before I got in (thank you twitter addiction!) and did not have it when I got home.
