To infinity, and beyond!

Wow, so my Festivids assignment is very interesting. Not at all what I expected, and I'm a little freaked out because now I'm going "whyyyyyy did I offer that? What was I thinking?" and having panic paralysis. But first I need to finish this 700+ page fishing guidebook and the magazine that came in unexpectedly, and I'm six days behind on the book because the PM left for vacation and forgot to tell me the files were ready, and now I'm sweating bullets, and also, I have to finish my Justified vid first. Which is gonna be work. Hello, drowning not waving.

Yesterday I bit the bullet and got an iPhone. Also signed up with Sprint. I've wanted to get away from AT&T for a while because they support right-wing politicians, but I had a good (old) plan that I knew I could not find a similar price on anywhere since the move to smartphones has changed the cell landscape so much. I really don't need to be tracked down and I don't have family and whatnot, so it seemed really unnecessary. But my cell phone, which I only bought earlier this year, is borked again and doesn't seem to be fixable, so. I didn't get the new one, just the regular 4 model, and apparently I got their last white one (doesn't show messy fingerprints as much).

I feel like I'm not in a financial position to have one of these, but Sprint actually has a bunch of deals you can get, including a AAA discount, so that helped me somewhat. I have a lot of reorganizing to do of my electronic life. I just don't have the time or the energy. But I know I need to find ways to get some of these costs down, even if it includes changing providers and all the attendant hassles with email addys and links to fic and the rest. Why is this so hard? Why can't we just snap our fingers and have it done? I wish this was something I could hire out, because I'd totally pay someone to do all this shit for me!

So, hey, now if you have an iPhone, we could video chat with each other. I'm living in the future!

Hee - just ducking in as a reminder that you can vid any of the requested fandoms - don't get overwhelmed!

Oh, I know I could try one of the others, but they are so far from my interest and purview, and fortunately I already have a song for the matched fandom... so I'll se how it goes. I also plan to spend some time with a friend and talk about ideas and whatnot since she's vidded this fandom before. Hopefully, too, with almost three months, I can get something together.

Seconding that you can always go to the safety. Even if you aren't familiar with it sometimes it works out. The first year I did festivids I picked up a pinch hit and realized an hour later that the fandom was one I just. couldn't. do. in the time frame. I downloaded their safety movie to watch even though I'd never heard of it....and to this day it remains one of my favorite vidding experiences (AXE TO THE HEAD).

*hugs*

Yeah, my big problem is the safeties are so, so out of my experience and interest that I doubt I'd do much justice to them, and I have a song I've wanted to vid this fandom to for a while, so that will help. It's just really daunting especially with all the work I have going on.
