vid recs

vid recs - These went straight to my 'favorite vids' folder after the first viewing, and still love them after re-watching countless times:
Be a Rockstar by chayiana (scroll down to the vid)
Music: Rockstar by Nickelback; Genre: Humor; Spoilers up to The Kindred
Characters: Lorne, Team, Todd (*G*)

So much fun... a witty idea at every turn, and images that fit the music perfectly (not necessarily in ways you'd expect).

What is Eternal? by gnine
Song: from Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Beethoven's Last Night
Character: Rodney
Spoilers: Big whoopin' spoilers for 'The Last Man'; the vid won't make as much sense if you haven't seen the episode.
(alternative lyrics link, as the one in the post stopped working for me)

Such a beautiful interplay of lyrics and clips; the song is *perfect* for Rodney. Specifially, the Rodney we see in TLM. More than a simple retelling of The Last Man, this vid adds a whole other dimension to it. Hard to describe... best watch!

The new challenge at artword sounds awesome. And challenging: Illustrative typography. And I won't have time for it this month. I'd be tempted to sign up but it would be beyond insane. I'll be lucky if I make my deadlines as it is. And there're those taxes too, which were due, haha, yesterday or so. I haven't even started. I guess I should call real soon and ask for an extension.

I'm itching to do a real quick fanart though, so I'm wondering whether I can dig out that short comic which I started for one of the flashfic challenges, on the last day of the challenge. It's already layouted after all, and simple to draw. One day, two tops. Maybe I can do that once I finish the historical book, to reward myself.

btw, I just saw that there is a LJ feed for Jewel Staite's blog. Been looking for that.
