exsequar: (BSG Kara lost)
I've been wanting to do another music video for a long time, but when I switched to Mac I lost my Premiere and all the surrounding tools that I had built up, so it's been hard to even consider tackling all that again. But I think this is something I'd love to do during my (very short) summer, and I finally have an idea I love!

The song is called "Destroying Angel" by Sneaker Pimps, and I want to do a video to it about Kara (and Leoben and maybe Lee and/or Sam) of BSG!

I've loved this song (and this band) for a long time, and their music has always felt perfect for vidding to me - haunting, melodic and weird, with very unique rhythmic patterns and instruments, which is exactly what I love to vid (that perfectly describes No More Good Guys, the song I vidded for Faith). The problem was that I could never get a subject I wanted to vid to match with their lyrics, but today I was listening to my iPod, this song came up, and I was like "....KARA!" It took the events of the end of season 4 to make me see the connection, but it's definitely there.

This is the song:

This is a live version, but it sounds incredibly close to the recording, and I thought you wouldn't mind the very cute (and androgynous) singer! ;)

The lyrics and some thoughts. Spoilers for ALL of BSG. )

It's all still extremely sketchy in my head, but I can see this becoming something beautiful. It's an intimidating idea, because there is SO much source material and I don't even own all of it, but I think it would be a whole lot of fun. I do love my Kara, and making a vid of her would nicely round out a trio of vidded obsessions (Faith and Winchesters being the other two). Does anybody have any thoughts they'd like to throw in? Even if it's just to tell me that yes, this is a viable/good idea, or no, here's the issue with it... I just want to talk this out with someone else who knows the canon!

Merlin Rec!

Sometimes I Forget I'm Still Awake by [livejournal.com profile] paperclipbitch, Arthur/Gwen, PG, 4000 words, big spoilers for 1x12
An absolutely gorgeous, quiet little story about Gwen and her sadness, her complicated fondness for Arthur, and his complicated fondness in return. I can't say more because of spoilers, but if you've seen 1x12 you know what this is about. And it's beautiful. There are some lovely Merlin and Morgana moments as well. Just a wonderful story, and I hope the show does as much justice by Arthur and Gwen.

And now, The Hot People Meme! Basically an excuse to picspam prettiness. Who am I to say no? Going with the random sixteen number because 10 just isn't enough! :) I imposed a strict 5 pictures per person rule or else this would have taken me HOURS. (ETA: Okay, so it took hours anyway. WHOOPS. Pleeeease take a look? Haha.)

Come see the pretty! Something for everyone, I promise. )

Wow, I... essentially wasted most of the afternoon on that. *FACEPALM* Ummm at least it's very pretty? Sigh.

It's been snowing allll day, it's quite lovely but keeping me from going and doing a couple errands. Classes start tomorrow and it'll be nice to have something to do. So in the meantime I'm basically just being a blob!

Lalala.

exsequar: (BSG KARA)
I LOVE KARA THRACE.

I watched three earlier episodes of BSG today - 2x06 thru 2x08 (Home Pts 1 and 2, Final Cut) - and I have decided my favorite part of the show was early/middle season 2. Because Kara and Lee were at their absolute finest! Some probably spoilery rambling. )

I really, really, REALLY loved this show back then. It gave me great JOY as well as a lot of intellectual fodder to think on. Now it's more of an... exercise? I still love it, but it doesn't make me bounce around for days with squee. (Except for the finale. DUH. :D) I may have to consider buying season 2.0 (I only have one disc, that I burned when I had it from Netflix) because it's so frakking wonderful. ♥!
