Ah, Mondays. Especially after a four-day weekened....

[heidi]

...and especially when you'd set aside time to work the day after Thanksgiving only to find that your office is closed and completely locked so even though you can get past the fingerprint-identification, you can't actually get in.

Posting by the numbers today...

1. Amazon has the Complete Buffy on sale for under $95, and there's free two-day shipping. That's slightly more than half off the official price, so if you're looking to get it for the holidays, today might be a good day for the getting.

2. I'm still taking requests for vids - I really want to make a few for y'all during this holiday season, but you need to submit more bunnies! shay_renoylds, can you post the one we were discussing in your LJ earlier this month? To keep it organized, it would be great if you commented with a few requests here - get serious, schmoopy, cracky - I want to get creative.

3. Speaking of crack, I made a Doctor/Master vid!

Title: Say My Name

Music: Destiny's Child's Say My Name. Yes, it makes for crack.

Details: At least, it started as crack. Then it got angsty, as my crack seems to do. Inspired by a line from the Children In Need special, although with no spoilers for it; spoilers for S3 of Doctor Who.

Summary: The Doctor is worried that Lucy is coming between the Master and himself; can true love survive? Spoilers for all of S3 of the new Doctor Who.

Pairing: Doctor/Master

Rating: PG-13

I recommend letting the whole thing load first, so it doesn't skip - or download the higher-res version because it's just lovely in full-screen format.

Vidder's Note: This is the first time I've tried to match up some of the mouth movements to the song lyrics - sometimes it works, and sometimes I know it's off but I liked the effect or the clip anyway...

Higher-resolution version on MegaUpload.

Also available on YouTube.

4. Sometime tomorrow I may manage a longer post on press coverage of "James Potter & the Halls of Elders Crossing" and why no "journalists" seem to be able to figure out how to use Google, and thus end up writing things like:

Rowling's decision is expected to cause a surge in the number of unauthorised tales by fans.

O RLY? A surge? Because the numbers have been so paltry to date? Because there's a dearth of sequels to the Harry Potter series?

Clearly, reporters weren't able to use Google to learn anything real about the fanfic before they started writing stupid articles and can't manage to use Google now to learn anything about the enormous mass of Harry Potter fanfic that already exists on the net.

5. Hey! SHOW is on tonight! Is this the last ep for a while or are they just airing through December with the rest of the pre-strike episodes?
ETA: Ooooh! Excellent and spoilery-for-backstory interview with David Anders here!

6. The number six waves to the Zone.

7. Saw Enchanted yesterday. Was completely enchanted and in adoration, especially over the Central Park scene. Am about to download soundtrack on itunes. Wish XMen III had been a musical because James Marsden and Hugh Jackman singing together would've been lovely.

I saw in an article today that they're adding Giselle to the Princesses at Disney - not sure if that means she'll be a part of the Princess line or if she'll just be a walk-around character or various other aspects that would be overspoilery to discuss here so I think I'll just save them for tomorrow. I know there's a lot of fellow Disney fans on my flist -what do you think about Disney bringing the Enchanted characters into the Parks? ETA: Spoilers for Enchanted in the comments!

8. For those of you who enjoyed last week's cover song collection, BestWeek Ever has a list of songs that are impossible to cover. I do remember a Madonna cover of one of the songs they've listed, though.SO I guess "impossible" just means "bad"?

Have I told you in the last few days how much I love that vid? :D I've pimped it to anyone who has even a remote idea what dr who is lololol

PS I sent a friend to your Jack vid and her quote after watching was....."DROOLDROOLDROOL!"

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Oh Honey! Thank you so much!

The Jack vid was just fun to make. This one was just completely stuck in my head and I had to put it together.

Go request a vid! How about something disney-rific?

[kimmparker.livejournal.com]

(total icon love btw)

I have no good creative bunnies :( If I think of something I'll add it definitly. I NEED to see Enchanted, haven't had a chance yet. i'm glad that so far everyone seems to like it.

I'm always amazed at what just a little bit of research can mean between looking smart and looking like a fool. Though, a large part of the audience won't know the difference. We in fandom are special. <3

Also, I might be a little bit in love with you and that video right now. What a perfect thing for a late Monday at the office.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Hee, glad you love the vid! I may do another one about their True Love.... I may just toss it into my poll thing - did you request a vid? Please do!

Giselle as a Disney Princess? But she never was a princess to begin with. And she never actually married the prince. Nancy did that. So will we have Nancy as a Disney Princess?

Not that I care very much, but Giselle doesn't really *belong* as a Disney Princess.

And I so loved the Central Park scene.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

No, but Nancy is a princess! Princess Elphaba, as Harry called her once I explained who played Nancy.

And there is nothing better than the Central Park scene. Re-watch it here!

[heinous_bitca.livejournal.com]

Well, isn't Pocahontas a Disney Princess? And Mulan? They didn't marry Princes either.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Technically, no they're not part of the standard Princesses line - but neither is Nala from the Lion King and she is a princess!

You might want to watch this for a funny take on the topic.

[pheebs1.livejournal.com]

I saw Enchanted too!! James Marsden was so funny!!! Bless him!

WOOo to complete buffy, thanks for the tip off!

But...I already have three covers of "Rehab" and it only came out last year. I've got Seether, Girls Aloud, and this one:
Rehab - Paulo Nutini

[hermione-like.livejournal.com]

A girl on my flist who works/goes to Disneyland a lot said that Giselle is already in the parades at both parks. :)
