Back at work and I am not going to bitch about it, no really! Mostly because this is a short week for me anyway and I'm making it even shorter by being a very generous little sister and taking the afternoon off to babysit my nephews and neice so that my sister can go on a trip to Ayr Races for her birthday. (Brother-in-Law phoned me a few times asking me for a favour and I was blanking him a little thinking he was atually going to ask me for money - when he finally came out with what he wanted I was so chuffed it wasn't a loan that I said yes straight away.) So any ideas on how to keep a three year old, a two year old and a... five month old (had to work that one out there!) amused for a day?

I'm behind on Final Straw I'm afraid, sorry for that - it will be updated soon though! I had a bit of a headdesk moment with it yesterday, the whole story is inspired by the Snow Patrol album and each chapter is inspired by a specific song on the album. The epilogue isn't, it's inspired by the current single ("You are all I have") which is on the new album. Got the new album yesterday, listened to it last night, and that song makes me want to vid (something I am slowly getting into on the side, as [livejournal.com profile] thedothatgirl knows with my "but how do I do that?!" emails... Thank you AC!). Wouldn't be a problem if the vid had anything to do with Xander and/or BtVS. But no, it makes me want to make a Doctor Who vid.

*headdesk*

So anyway, I'm heading home soon (about half an hour) and I'm going to try to make as many WKA banners as I can before heading up to the madhouse that is my Sister's place. Fun!
 
 
Current Mood: cheerful

Hehehe - you'll never be able to listen to music the same way again.....

It's a disease I tell ya!! Don't worry about emails I love to help where I can but if I can't I can point you somewhere that will. The songs that nag you the most will be the easiest to vid - whatever the fandom.

Whilst we are on the subject of Dr Who fan vids - check out this one- Milly is a great vidder (buffyverse) who posted a Dr Who one recently so I guess it will be of the same standard.

Also some wellknown vidders have just started a forum which will be a great place to lurk - not sure if forums are your thing but I can send you a link to have a look if you like.

Oh and I have just seen this so

ANother 9th & 10th DrWho vid - I'll stop spamming your LJ now...

Those are gorgeous! Thank you for linking me to them! Oh - and you know what? I'm totally burning you copies of the episodes of s1 and 2 so far to give you on Friday. Just so, y'know, I can corrupt you as well! (Plus, I notice Sean never actually answered whether he was going to be showing the DW episode on the Saturday night, have to say I'm a little *gnnnh!* that I'm going to be missing it (my little immediate reaction posts and replies are fun!) (And I'm also a little sad Sophia Myles has had to pull out of NFA, she was in the last episode of DW and it would have been very cool to see her!)

I am going to have to at least attempt this one I think, so you may be getting those emails soon - otherwise it will eat my brain. :)

Hehe, Well you certainly got me with VM so why not DrW? There is much buzz at the moment in 'serious' vidding circles about 'Life on Mars' - Did you catch that series?

And Sophia Myles - was she the Underworld gal?? Perhaps Sean cancelled one of the 'extra guests' he was moaning about.

*points at icon*

Muahahahaha!

Yup, she's the Underwolrd chick - also in Thuderbirds apparently (or so they were saying on the DW commentary, couldn't tell you, never seen it (the Thunderbirds film that is!)). I'm actually hald wondering if she's pulled out of the convention because of the backlash to the episode last week - or the expected backlash anyway - if that's the case then it's a real shame! (Plus, she's dating David Tennant and if she'd been at the con then perhaps he might have been around the hotel bar somewhere... *g*)

Babysitting sucks but *can* be a joy, if you find a way to amuse them!

It actually ended up being kinda fun, but OMG tiring!
