that damned elusive megaloo

So, I vidded.

Ever since I've heard "Shake It" by Metro Station, I could not get the image of the boys from Community "krumping" along to the beginning of it. Then I thought of more scenes with dancing that I loved from television shows and before I knew it, there was a music video being constructed in my iMovie. Scary, I know.

( Shake It, a multi-fandom dancing video )

I haven't vidded in four years and I realise some of the sources weren't the best, due to how fast I managed to cobble it together. Despite that, I'm happy with how it turned out. Also amazed I still like the song, considering how many times I've now listened to it now.

Still slightly reeling from Doctor Who and a longer reaction will come later, but needless to say I enjoyed it. More than Part One, certainly.

Oh, Tennant. I shall miss you. ♥

Happy Christmas, to all that celebrate it!

The family and I are off to my aunt and uncle's for dinner soon, so may you all have a marvelous day of peace and prosperity!

For our Youth Literacy class, we presented a group project on graphic novels. We worked in "reading circles", in which each person got a job assignment such as leader, connector, illustrator, vocabulary...er. I got to be the illustrator.

Our group's graphic novel was the first printed volume of Bayou, which is an online comic by Jeremy Love and Patrick Morgan. It's got a strong female protagonist, Lee, living in post-Civil War, pre-civil rights Mississippi. Her white best friend, Lily, gets kidnapped by a monster in the bayou, Cotton-Eyed Joe. Lee's father ends up getting blamed for Lily's disappearance. To save him from lynching, Lee must find Lily with the help of the other swamp monster, the kind Bayou. It deals with race, love and hatred, and Deep South folklore. It's extremely well done and I mean to finish it once school finishes.

Well, back to homework for a little while longer tonight.

I've been seeing quite a few people doing hourly comics lately, so I tried my hand at it to practice drawing daily more. I was also able to do it since it was a day off-- at work I have no time to do this stuff. (PS. That's grad school class I was attending in the evening.)

( Odd comics! )

Thanks to Hulu, I've found my (end of) summer show: Spaced.

I've finished season series one tonight and it makes me sad to know that there are only seven more episodes left of this glorious show. Words cannot express how much I adore both Daisy and Tim, never mind the rest of the crazy cast.

Alright. Going back for more now. :)

After borrowing the book from katzell for almost four years,

P.S. It was great. :)
