icepixieA compliation of the past 24 hours on my computer:
- I think I broke something laughing at this. And now I have the llama song stuck in my head.
- Remember how I was thinking "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" would make the best vid ever for Doctor/Rose? Well, someone actually did it. (Or rather, it's a Beatles medley with that as part of it; whatever.) Ha!
- I am currently devouring every video/audio clip and/or photo I can get of David Tennant. God, the man is ADORABLE. The accent makes him even more so. And he was a DW fanboy! Hee! Not to mention he sounds fairly intelligent when some reporter shoves a microphone in front of his face, which is always a plus.
- I've never seen it (although I think PBS may be doing its usual import of BBC dramas and including it this year, yay!), but from what I can tell, Blackpool could best be described as "cracktastic." Check out Clip 4 here, and a longer clip in the comments here. The police capture a teenage criminal while lip-synching and doing Broadway-style dance to The Smiths? Meh? I sat there for a long time afterwards going, "...the who in the what now?" And then I watched it a few more times because it was just so bizarre.
- I would hope that this has been recc'ed all over the damn internet by now, but if you've missed it: Nostalgia's Notes on the Domestication of Birds. Mind-bendy and heart-bendy and perfect. F'r instance: "Either way people didn't tend to hang about and he could stand there trying to look deeply immersed in official Tesco thoughts. Tesco Value thoughts, perhaps, which weren't as good but were a better deal for that penny people were always offering for them." Exactly what you're thinking has happened has happened, and it is done so. well.
- I finally found some reeeeally good DW vids here. Very good.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
castalianspring, I think you would particularly enjoy the music of the "Exile" vid, even if you're not a Who fan.
-laserhead, I can't believe I didn't rec this series to you earlier, since I found it about a month ago, but...you must read it. The regeneration makes the tenth Doctor into a chemist. I assume, since the author is getting a chem degree, the chem stuff is fairly accurate.

Spent the morning at the public library. Found out that the archives of the Tennessean and Nashville Banner are not indexed. Oof. Spent a while flicking through some reels of microfilm before giving up and deciding to get as many actual dates as possible before trying that again, instead of just waltzing in with "1933-1940." Ugh. Lord, flicking through microfilm that fast gives me a headache like nothing else.
Now, I'm off to tackle me some Blake for comps. Ick.

Date: 2006-03-07 08:51 pm (UTC)Yes. Yes, it is. Because that show is so British it makes my teeth hurt. *g*
Bwahah! Bah, I meant to steal some tv from you before you left. Oh well. Probably a good thing I didn't... off to comps!
Oh, you should've! Although then you might have less impetus to join us for the Sci-Fi Channel Who viewings, or the Cupid mini-marathon that really ought to happen the night after comps...

That would be fantastic. :D Do you have my school address, or do you need me to e-mail it to you?

Date: 2006-03-08 05:39 am (UTC)The Dalek song was priceless...the Beatles medley was great (and "no one you can save that can't be saved" KILLS me!)...and I've bookmarked Wolfling's vids to go through later. (Those should rock--I love some of the Buffy & Firefly vids there already.)
Thanks for sharing!

I need to poke through her (his?) FF vids at some point. All the timing in the "Exile" vid is just perfect, and good timing of actions/clip changes to beats in the music will make me love a vid faster than anything else.
Thanks for sharing!
Yep! Can't keep all the fun stuff to myself, now, can I? *g*
