• 04:12 @windiain Sam would make friends with a t-rex and get to ride that around. #

Thanks, Andy Garcia Voiceover!

GUYS! THE WEBSITE'S FACELIFT HAS BEEN REVEALED!

( Sure it looks shiny, but it's still wtf as ever. )

This is why we can't have nice things?

So let's end this on a note of joy:

This has been your fandom moment of zen.

Good morning to you all. Or good night.
I wanna start today by telling you of how Ellen Tigh loves my fanvids.

A long time ago, I noticed my "Alcohol" BSG fanvid was under "Music" on Kate Vernon's Myspace page. It made me really excited, but I still didn't know if she was behind the site or had even seen it. But when I realized I would have the chance to ask her herself at Starfury I got really excited, and opportunity showed up right away; I had very mellow fellow fans at my Meet'n'Greet table so I actually did a lot of the talking with the guests, and when Kate Vernon came there was half a pause as we'd said all "how are you"'s, so I immediately jumped in and told her I had sort of a weird question to ask. (To her credit, she didn't even vince, lol) And so I asked her first if she was behind her own MySpace page and she said that her assistant or whatever maintained it for her. All right. And so I continued to ask about "a Battlestar fan video under her music section set to the song 'Alcohol' by Barenaked Ladies.." and she knew right away which one I meant. "Well", I said. "I made that video." And her face just lights up, and she leans over the table to grab my hand and goes "OH MY GOD I LOVE THAT VIDEO! YOU SHOULD MAKE MORE!" :D :D :D :D :D :D

Could not have had a better start to the con, seriously.
She really liked it, told me to send it to her Facebook and she even asked me if I'd told James Callis & Jamie Bamber about it. I don't really know why I would tell them about a fanvid on her MySpace though.. the only conclusion I draw from that is that they've seen it too? Maybe? And maybe ever Michael Hogan? :D
But seriously, that is so awesome. And since it's been pulled from YouTube by Barenaked Ladies' record company, for some reason her MySpace has been the only place where you could still see it, though not anymore. But! Thanks to Vimeo, here it is;

First thing I found as I sat down to check my email: some anonymous person bought me an LJ virtual gift. I now have a sparkly snowflake on my profile for the next couple of weeks.

Thankyou, mysterious gift-giver! That was a wonderful way to wake up.

Today's version of 'Stairway to Heaven" is by Robynne Dunn - in the style of "Lucy in the sky with Diamonds" by the Beatles.

I should've learned back then that I should get used to disappointment re: football. LIFE SUCKS KIDDO.

( plus a photo I took which I interpreted rather loosely )

AUUUGH. I just checked Ticketmaster to see when John Mayer and Taylor Swift would be in Dallas. I knew both of them would be in town in March, but I have just discovered they'll be in Dallas two days apart--John on the 9th, Taylor on the 11th. How can I possibly pick only one?

Thanks, friends, for the good vibes the other day! Just one of those times when everything hits at once, though it turned out not to be a bad day at all. In fact, I got high ratings on my evaluation. A wee bit of holiday malaise, as usual, but overall things are much better now!

Tonight is my annual viewing of one of my all-time favorite movies, The Sound of Music. Whee! LOVE IT. Every single thing about it. Well, except for Liesl/Rolf, who are rather annoying. And I'll repeat what I say every time I post about it: The Baroness is not evil. She's just misunderstood. Hmph.

I recently finished reading The Knife of Never Letting Go, by Patrick Ness, which was highly recommended by taragel. I quite liked it, though not as much as I'd hoped, and it led me to some curious thoughts on American vs. British "styles" of writing. ( A few thoughts, with minimal spoilers. )

Another book rec: The Know-It-All: One Man's Humble Quest to Become the Smartest Person in the World, by A.J. Jacobs. My sister loaned it to me over the summer, and I really loved it. ( So, you want to read the encyclopedia? )

Although I don't have much to say about it, this week's episode of Friday Night Lights was stunning, of course. [No real spoilers here.] But I'm a bit confused by all the consternation in various blogs about how Coach calls Landry "Lance". I could've sworn that in S1 we learn that Lance is his first name, but everyone calls him Landry. Am I mistaken?

And I'll wrap up with a short linkspam:
-- Indi pointed me toward a fun quiz: What is your decorating style? Mine was 50% Nantucket, 25% Zen, and 25% Vintage Modern.
-- Poniewozik posted an interesting take on the HIMYM "Dirty Frosty" video that has gone viral.
-- Hitfix put The Amazing Race on the top 30 of the decade, and his description is a good explanation of why I also love it.
-- The NYT has a blog post on the new (and annoying) trend of when party hosts expect guests to pay their share.
-- Mental Floss unveils the underground CAPTCHA industry.
-- Sign On San Diego has a great piece on attracting boys to ballet.
-- Jezebel hopes that Gabourey Sidibe can have a long career in Hollywood, but they're worried she might not get many good roles.
-- And they have a fun post (with several cute cat videos) discussing just what cats do all day.
