Vidding, fic recs, travel, etc.
Apr. 29th, 2008 09:51 pmFic Recs of the Day:
Two SPN crossovers - one is crack and one is simply funny.
Not the Music in Me - a bodyswap-crossover between SPN and High School Musical from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rionaleonhart. It is quite fabulous!
Attack of the Five Foot Ten Woman bymusesfool - it's a SportsNight/SPN crossover that is perfectly voiced, wonderfully characterized and amazingly plotted. Six steps beyond Thespis, you'll find... Winchesters at CSS.
Finally finished my Sam's Birthday vid, which I'll be posting on Friday. OMG this was hellish to render - something was glitching in the last half of the vid, and I ended up having to cut and paste said half into a new file, and then splice the two together. At least I didn't have to tweak with the timing, like I did with Badlands earlier this month. Why can't the tech side of vidding be easy?
The good thing is, in going through all the eps of SPN, I found the image I used in this icon. It's about one fifth of a second in the car towards the start of 1.02, and unless you watch frame-by-frame you'll miss it. Yes, the TV Guide images are lovely, but I like my little Sleepy Sammy icon, too.
Perhaps because I'm damned tired right now and still have to finish cleaning up the playroom because someone thought it was a good idea to get my son the LEGO Mosaic for his birthday. Two hundred single-sized lego bricks. On the floor. I just want to vacuum them up. But I won't.
I'm traveling this week, and in packing my carry-on, I realised that every year, for the last few years, I seem to add an additional piece of technology to my satchel. I've been carrying a camera on trips since I was about six, and I got my first walkman before I went to camp at 11. I added a laptop in 1992, a cellphone circa 1993, a Newton in 1994 (but I stopped carrying it the following year), a digital camera in 1999, an MP3 player in 2000 or 2001 (I had a Rio Riot - it was huge, and held I think 20 GB of content, which was a lot back then), a digital video camera in 2003, an ipod in 2004 and now, my GPS is coming on the road with us, which will help us get around on the backroads of NY State.
And everything needs its own charging cable.
My tech takes up a carry on bag; my cosmetics fill a quart-sized plastic bag.
In 1992, or 1997, or even 2001, it was quite the opposite.
TheWB is relaunching ( as a website. )
Will do a vidding-and-fics-I-posted-this-month wrapup post from the road tomorrow, including yesterday's Schoolhouse Rock Parody, Unpack Your Adjectives...
ETA: BBCAmerica shows are now on iTunes, including Torchwood. Only one ep of Robin Hood up so far...
