Things I am Happy about at this Moment…

Posted on January 11, 2009 | Leave a comment

1) A new season of Chad Vader begins February 1st!!!!

If you don’t know who or what Chad Vader is, go to this link and be educated. Truly, Chad Vader is one of the marvels of YouTube.

2) They’ve chosen a new Doctor, and it’s no one I hate. It’s actually no one I know either, but that’s a good thing, as I am able to come into this relationship with no prior baggage. He’s young, yes, but I’ve watched this interview with him, and I’ve seen a few moments of Doctor-ness in him. He’s certainly got offbeat looks. I like that in a British actor.

However, I still grieve the passing of the 10th Doctor.

3) The new season of Lost begins in a few days, and as I’ve just had a marathon viewing of the last season on DVD, I’m primed and ready. Time travel and disappearing islands and many other things I may never understand, yay!

4) My steampunk corset is half done. And I mean literally half done. Since it laces up the front and back, when it’s unlaced, it’s in two separate pieces. One side is completed, the other half still needs its embroidery, which I’m putting off, because the first half wasn’t all that fun to embroider. I tried a new embroidery stitch, and I’m sorta regretting it. But yay – half of it looks gorgeous!

5) I’ve sold 3 steampunk penguins this month!

6) It looks like Obama plans to pay for my chicken coop I’m building this Spring. More on this later.

7) And now I’m going to watch a Jane Austen film on tv.

Fun presents & the really cool people who give them!

Posted on December 16, 2008 | 2 comments

I have a cool friend.  She gave me this:

070426sonic_screwdriver

If you don’t know what this, I’m sorry to tell you that you are not one of the cool people…and by that I mean a geek.

I am proudly a geek, and thus I am happily running around my house, doing sonic screwdriver things to random objects.  My cat is pretty fascinated as well with the sound and light it makes.  I think he believes it might be a high-tech mouse (either that or he’s more of a cool people than I ever guessed).

If you’re still scratching your head over what this gadget is, here’s one more clue:

If you still aren’t sure, there may be no hope for your future gee- um, coolness unless you click this link right now:

Thank you, Bonnie!  😀

He’s what? He’s…regenerating?

My whole world just crashed and burned.

Well, okay, not my whole world, just the 1/8th of it that is currently Doctor Who obsessed… David Tennant has announced he’s going to leave the show after the four specials currently planned for 2009.

FOUR MORE SPECIALS! It isn’t even going to be a complete season! I’m honestly in shock, since he specifically squashed previous rumors that he was planning to leave.  But here it is, out of David’s own bloody gorgeous mouth:

And who will become the 11th Doctor?

YouTube Cupcake

Posted on October 4, 2008 | Leave a comment

I should admit up front that when I get sucked into youtube, I really get sucked in. It’s an evil place, youtube, full of the train-wreck sort of weirdness and overdose cute that I apparently find irresistible. Yay me.

It usually starts with such innocence. A co-worker mentions a funny song, the “Kitty Cat Song” and I go check it out, because I’m going to see her the next day, and I know she’s going to ask if I did. (Yes, I did, and now it’s forever looping around and around in my head, thanks SO much!). Or there’s a link in an email to a video the sender is sure I’ll enjoy. And I do. Immensely. I also enjoy the frajillion links along the side of that video – and do you know how many videos there are of moose attacking humans? More than there are actual moose, I’m positive.

But now and there I find a true treasure, and I’ll actually subscribe. Chad Vader. Simon’s Cat. The guy who posts the minisodes of Rescue Me, because I just can’t be bothered to turn on the TV for a five minute “show”. And then there’s “eclairification”. I thought for quite some time her name was Claire, because that would sort of make sense, wouldn’t it? But then I clicked her profile to subscribe, and discovered her name is Elizabeth. Huh…so much for assumptions. Anyway, she’s a girl who ‘vlogs’ about totally random things, and I quite like her, actually. I wonder if that could possibly be because she gets extremely (and unapologetically) nerdy about Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, books, and a number of other things that touch my heart and give me hope for America’s youth? So I subscribed to Elizabeth’s vlog, unaware that she was close to reaching her 100th subscriber, and therefore close to fulfilling her promise of baking each of her 100 subscribers their very own cupcake.

On September 11th, she carried through on her vow, and not only made all 100 cupcakes, but filmed each and every one of them on her vlog. Mine is at exactly 0:43 seconds into the video. And it appears to be chocolate.

She then sat in a public place and gave the cupcakes away to strangers. I think this is extremely cool.

And please, to all my friends, don’t be discouraged from feeding my youtube madness.  That’s one of the reasons I call you friends, right?
