Seriously, interwebs, how did you not tell me that this video existed for the last three months? Shame on you all!

Every morning, M gets up and wants to watch "DV" which is toddler for Music Videos. IDEK.
But, since I am also a huge fan, who am I to tell him no??? We now have a long list of favorites, but he's actually talking enough now to ask for them by name (sorta) and today he wanted, "OH!! RIDA!!!"
It certainly got me pumped up. So, I shall share!

Absolutely Incredible
Jan. 9th, 2011 06:09 pmThis is a fanmade trailer to The Hunger Games.
I'm blown away and would absolutely go and see this movie. And if anyone knows who xtsukichan13x is on LJ/DW or the like, let me know!

Dec. 22nd, 2010 02:51 pmI feel better.
And I have new clients coming in this afternoon and lots to do before then, but I feel pretty good.
Physically speaking, I still feel like crap, but meh... can't have it all I guess.
*********
I've been doing a lot of thinking over food culture and food shame, re: the post I made a few days ago. I definitely want to submit something to the Food Carnival. I'm really looking forward to it.

Here. Have a Linkin Park vid. :)

I'm a Dork
Dec. 8th, 2010 03:11 pmThis video fascinated me, but in my cynic mode, I scoffed at it.
Then, I read this interview with the director, Dave Meyers:
"We were both very into the idea of getting away from Hollywood and featuring real people in the video," Meyers said. "So we featured real people; they weren't actors. Finding two gay guys in Budapest was a challenge, because it's not as accepted there as it is in West Hollywood. I found an actual, real couple.
"The girl in the video isn't actually a sick girl, but we got her to shave her head, and, if you're an 11-year-old, that's a massive commitment. The people's commitment to it was really beautiful," he continued. "And then in the last scene, that wasn't 250 extras, that was 250 hardcore Katy Perry fans. Those people were jumping because they were loving life."
So Twitchy
Dec. 6th, 2010 11:26 amMy life is out of control and I cannot keep up. Work is making me sick to my stomach with stress and if one more person tells me to calm down, I will lose my shit. Don't be that person. Just don't.
************
This weekend happened. There are many things that I would like to talk about, but some of them are making me twitchy, so I don't even know where to start. That and the fact that some of the things that are making me twitchy were within my power to control and I let it happen and I don't know if I'm okay with that or not either.
***********
The people who are supposed to move our phones should be here in 3 minutes. I don't have the keys. I'm pissed about this.
***********
Met with the phone people. Had lunch. Saw this vid (thanks A!!).
Feeling better, though still overwhelmed. Food helped. A lot. (Apparently, I'm hollow. I've now had toast and fried rice today and I'll probably eat at least one more time. Oink. [I'm being sarcastic. Usually I skip breakfast, though, and all day today I've been starving!])

Harry Potter Vid of Awesome
Nov. 29th, 2010 10:32 amI found this on the flist this morning (thanks,
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
iambickilometer).It made me a bit teary, but it really captured everything about this series that made me love it. Also, they really grew up! Spoilers for all the movies thus far.
This one's for the lonely...
Nov. 15th, 2010 12:01 pmOh, my. I know it's sappy, but this song brought tears to my eyes when I heard it (for the first time today).
( Lyrics )
There are a tremendous number of stories in this song.
I love this commercial so much I want to marry it and have it's sarcastic babies.
Really.

Guys, I am in an almost deliriously good mood. Things went very well last week; this weekend was awesome, if too busy; I'm looking forward to this week - even with the absolute glut of work I have to do.
I feel frigging manic - and while I don't think I am, I'm honestly not sure.
Good things:
* Made money
* New cases
* AWESOME cases
* New office space
* Standing up for myself at work
* New laptop
* New experiences that I am embracing without letting myself freak out
* Sleeping enough
* Yuletide (even with the wank, I'm still excited)
* AMAZING music videos that exist in the world that I didn't know about, but now do
* Wonderful friends
* FICS!!!!!!!
* Good food
* Beer
* People who love me and call to say so
I dunno. I don't expect it to last, but right now... I'm frigging due.
Really.
*bounces*
Yuletide! Music Video Fandoms
Nov. 14th, 2010 11:24 amI have a keen interest in volunteering to write for lots of music video fandoms this year, and in furtherance of that interest - and also out of extreme curiosity - I was hoping that anyone who sees a music video fandom may be willing to point it out to me.
I'm posting this in my LJ. For the purposes of having everything in one place, I'm providing a link!
Please click here for music video discussions!

Watch the Way I Burn
Oct. 20th, 2010 01:41 pmI make no secret of the fact that I love Eminem. I like his style, I appreciate his musical stylings, but the aspect of his art (and I do call it art) that has earned my admiration the most is his ability to write lyrics that really get into your head and speak to you.
I read one review that says that "we can always count on Eminem for brutal honesty."
Yes.
So, it's no surprise that I'm stunned into a respectful silence about the song "Love the Way You Lie."
Today, for the first time, I decided to go and see if there was a video.
There is.
I came into this video not knowing anything about it. When it reached the 45 second mark, I started squinting and thinking, "Is that...? Wait, is that...?" And indeed, it is. Apparently, the makers spared no expense in this video and it stares Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan.
I am not really interested in debating the artistic talents of these two actors, but there is no arguing that both are big names. And watching them carry the story of this song took my breath away - in all the right ways.

I know. Hate me if you must, and I hate myself a bit for admitting that I like this, but...
THE SCENE WITH THE GUY WITH THE GLITTER OUT OF HIS SHOULDERS HAS CONVINCED ME THIS IS SOME SORT OF FIGHT BETWEEN FALLEN ANGELS AND I WANT MORE. OMG, I WANT TO READ THAT SO BAD!
Which brings me to a book I read, which someone (Benjamin Bliss) turned into a trailer and won a Book Award for:
The trailer highlights the thing about the book I hated (the Twilight feel of it), but also captures some of the things that made this book impossible to put down. And the ending... ( ambiguous spoilers here )

Donald Duck takes on Glenn Beck
Oct. 6th, 2010 09:44 pmGlenn Beck responded, in his douchebag way, accusing everyone against him of being a communist. *rolls eyes*
But in fairness, I shall post the vid.
Ponderings for the Ponderers
Sep. 23rd, 2010 03:34 pmI'm sharing links, because my computer screen is bogged with them.
First, this Snow Patrol song is eating my brain. I love it, and I love the lyrics.
*****************
Now, onto some links about feminism and obesity. No, I'm not kidding. *headdesk*
Has feminism killed the art of home cooking? - wherein Rose Prince blames feminists for obesity.
I... am utterly baffled by this link. Give me a break, please, and quit making other people's choices my fault. *rolls eyes*
Feminism to blame for obesity? Fat chance. - wherein Jessica Reed responds to Ms. Prince in a much more coherent fashion than I could manage.
And thanks to the wonders of the internet, I obtained a copy of the obesity booga-booga article also referenced in Ms. Reed's response. It's an interesting look at the effects of obesity on the individual and on a population as a whole, and the politics of calling obesity a disease.
It draws this conclusion: ( Cut for talk on obesity )
*****************
And this is an interesting bit of meta that I'm linking on why people don't write what they claim to want to read. Why am I not writing the stories I say I want to read?
While this article is aimed at fanfic, I think it's an interesting question to consider about original fiction as well.

Sep. 16th, 2010 11:06 pmSo I can close the tabs on my computer before I sleep tonight. *nods*
Ummm. Amazing. I really have no words for this, except that it proves that the future of film may actually be on the internet.

Ikea. Wow, that's all I can say. Wow. And I mean that in the best of ways! Ikea lets 100 cats loose into the store just to see what happens. And it's awesome!

For anyone who has ever needed a pocket Scott Summers. IDEK, but this is adorable. ♥

Green Lantern has Glo Balls? He should probably see a doctor for that. *snicker*
