gwynI feel like such a craptastic journal person -- I hardly ever update anymore, I never have much to say, and then I go and do the opposite of what I say I'm going to do whenever I do post. I still have a Men Who Make Me Happy post and a review of the season 3 LFN discs sitting here, waiting to be done as I said I would, and I also finished updates for the two works in progress, but I only just finished rewrites on Measure to send to beta, and Ciudad is crawling along. I want to do the Buffy one first, though, just because those folks have waited the longest.
And then I went and did a poll so I could get people to tell me what vid to make next, since vidding is the only thing I'm halfway focused on lately, but I let threat of bodily harm push me in the opposite direction of the majority-rules voting. Which means I'm working on capturing for the Deadwood all-cast vid, even though most votes went to the Buffy & Angel all-cast humor vid, with the spooky Giles vid a close second. But what did I do instead, and in between capturing for the Deadwood vid? Went and got obsessed with a Sharpe vid idea, and am now about 40 seconds into it already. Sharpe wasn't even on my list, because I hadn't found a song for it, though not through lack of trying.
But I was listening to an Oysterband disc (of *course* it's Oysterband!) the other day for this Band of Brothers song possibility, and I hadn't heard this particular song in a long time, and I just was... guh. Sharpe and Teresa. So unbelievably perfect that it made me almost cry! God, I love the two of them so much. I think Lt. Richard Sharpe and Commandante Teresa is one of the greatest love stories ever told, and I'm just thrilled to have stumbled on this song, even though it takes me away from doing the vids I was supposed to do! The big problem is of course the visuals, since Sharpe the movies (especially the first two) look so damn awful (cheap bastards!). I want to try color filters a little this time, but I don't get them at all, to try to spruce this up, so I have a feeling I have lots of hair-pulling and advice-asking ahead of me, even though the vid itself will come together super fast.
I cannot be counted on to do as I'm told, or even as I tell people I will do. Sigh. I am sorry.
