Robins form monogamous pair bonds that last through the breeding season, and the males are very protective of their turf.
I just got an email with that exact subject line. It was spam, of course, but it was such an inspired piece of work that I had to share it.

I'm back to being a little AWOL right now, life's taken one of *those* turns again and in an attempt to not actively kill someone* I'm keeping my head down and keeping busy with *stuff*. Getting my hall decorated, and when I say I'm getting it decorated, I'm doing it myself - I like decorating and so long as wallpaper isn't involved I'm actually pretty good at it and hopefully it'll be finished today. 'Course it kinda has to be 'cause I'm going back to work tomorrow. Joy.

'kay, this post is just to say I'm still alive and to say thank y'all for the congratulations on NaNoWriMo - I don't remember the last time I had so much fun writing something and it's still not done. So I'm away now, no doubt when I get into work tomorrow and find that for two weeks no one has checked the shared email account I will be posting a rant again...

*someone specific, not just a random stranger who looks at me the wrong way or something. Oh no. This specific person is not on eljay, this specific person would be lucky to tell her arse from her elbow and has been frequently mentioned on here.

The Art of Vidding Awards is now open for nominations!


My very good friend [livejournal.com profile] thedothatgirl is a helluva talented vidder and artist and someone who I have a huge amount of respect for. A little while ago, at the Serenity Cubed convention of all places, we got to talking about sites, vidding and awards. Andrea mentioned that she was keen to open up an awards site for a wider range of fandoms and asked if I would be willing to help out a little. I have to admit I was kind of blown away and flattered to be asked since I'm not widely known in the vidding community. I do have a little experience with vidding although I have yet to complete anything, but I do have the technical training to be completely impressed with the talent that is out there so I have to say I jumped at the chance to be able to acknowledge that talent in a publuc forum.

The AVAs are designed to include multiple fandoms, these are limited to the ones which the judges are involved in because we don't think it would be fair for us to judge something of which we have zero or limited knowledge. So for now, the fandoms we are open to are:

Bones, Deadwood, Doctor Who, House, Lost, Supernatural, Torchwood, Veronica Mars, Whedonverse (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly and Serenity) and Wonderfalls.

Come on over and take a look, if you are a vidder in any (or all) of these fandoms please think about submitting your vid!

And please, feel free to pimp the site around to anywhere you think would be appropriate, you can use the banner I have in this post (made by me...) or there are codes over at the site made by [livejournal.com profile] thedothatgirl you can use.

Cheers!
