Festivids and Marching on

grammarwomanI made two vids for Festivids!
Creator (Eureka, Jo Lupo)
What's Your Naked (What's Your Number, Ally/Colin)
They were both really well received, especially by the intended recipients, so I'm happy about that.gwyn guessed correctly that I had made the WYN vid for her, so I owe her a prize. You want icons with that? ;)
I still want to go back and respond to all the comments, which sets up a weird pressure in my head to find umpteen different ways of saying "thank you". Oh, fangirl problems...
I finally got a new laptop to replace my current workhouse with the broken hinge. The new one has Windows 8.1, UGH. I forget each time how much I hate setting up machines to have all the correct bells and whistles, and deleting all the unwanted crap. (McAfee can go suck it with their horrible protection and whiny "don't remove meeeeeee!" warnings.) Having this new awful OS on top of that just feels me with dread. Once I'm done, though, it will be zippy fast, and I can gift the Emperor with my old one (set up in the basement with a monitor, so he won't destroy it with the wonky hinge).
January blurred into February, and now February is almost done, too. As much as I love snow, I'm good now, so spring can arrive any time. Plus, March means my birthday and a visit tokass! Note to self: start planning media to bring for the trip for potential recruitment.
Speaking of new fandoms, I have fallen hard for "Arrow". I blazed through most of seasons 1 and 2 last weekend. I knew it was full of fabulous ladies, but no one told me just HOW full it was! Ladies everywhere! Duplicitous DAs and CIAs and CEOs, a whole rainbow of HBsIC. I was spoiled for a lot of it, thanks to Tumblr GIFs and such, but I'm still enjoying small unforeseen twists. However, I am getting tired of the Identity Angst and SECRETS EVERYWHERE. Hasn't that shit bitten them in the ass enough already?
Speaking of fabulous ladies, "Agent Carter" has ended, alas; I'm trying to manage my expectations so I won't be utterly crushed if it doesn't get renewed. We had a sublime run of it, and the DVDs can't come soon enough. I'm really hoping that "Agents of SHIELD" can build on some of that energy and keep me excited for Marvel on TV.
In other news, "Glee"'s final season is filling me with complicated (and CAPSLOCKy) feelings. What a long, strange trip it's been.
What all are you watching?

Date: 2015-02-27 01:43 am (UTC)The Identity Angst is my least favorite part. Well, that, and Ollie's general manpain. At least there are Diggle and all the ladies around him to give him neverending crap about it!

Date: 2015-02-28 10:56 pm (UTC)Actually, I do sort of want to take advantage of an offer you made to me a while ago--I am trying to finish this Steve/Bucky story that's bedeviled me for a really long time, and I'd like to finish it soon. I think I'm going to take my laptop to Escapade to work on it and see if I can't edit it into something not horrible. And I haven't had anyone to really beta for me for forever, and you offered, so I'm accepting, because I would love to have someone say "no, sorry, go back to the drawing board" if it's not salvageable.
When's your trip to the fabulous kass?
(Also, I want to braid you hair again at VVC--I remembered what I was doing wrong with french braiding and can now do it right.)

Date: 2015-03-01 08:36 am (UTC)I am traveling out the last full week of March, Tuesday through Friday, so she can get properly sick of me. ;)
I will aim to have braidable hair at VVC; I may whack off a few inches before then, but there should be enough. I do like getting my hair played with.
