Random fannishness #1: This is funny.

R.f. #2: While idling around Uptown today, I found and purchased a used set of Nikita Season 2, and a copy of the Homicide movie. The former I've only seen parts of, and those out of sequence; the latter I watched when it first aired, and it left me so utterly verklempt that, even if I'd had the wits to tape it (which I didn't), I don't think I could have watched it again. Until now. When I feel a resurgence of Pembleton-love brewing on my personal horizon, not that it ever really went away or anything.

R.f. #3: I've come to realize that one of my greatest fannish pleasures these days--now that I've given up any plans of ever actually making any vids--is running, on the monitor in my brain, imaginary vids whose virtue is, in large part, that they never *shall* actually get made and hence I will be spared the embarrassment of revealing to the world what a giant soppy cheeseball I actually am. They amuse me vastly, as I wander around the city with my headphones, listening to the songs to which they are set, and sometimes I laugh aloud, and sometimes I sigh happily, and always I can overlook the fact that none of these would actually *work*, either technically (in the sense of source providing all the actual clips needed) or artistically (oh my GOD, the cheese). And no, I am not describing any of them to any of you, given that I clearly still have *some* sense of shame left.

I do #3 so often that it's practically a separate hobby.

I love making imaginary vids. Of course, if I weren't a technomoron my real vids would RULE THE WORLD.

So, you know, we're doing Lord King Bad Vids as a separate vidshow at VVC this year. I think you need to either vid, or seduce a vidder, into committing one of your internal vids to real life, to play for us.... *flees*

(WHAT? I'm just going by your own definitions of them! heeeee.)

You know, I was thinking the exact same thing.

Well, you know, I *do* actually make vids and I still do #3 a lot. Like a lot a lot.

(And sometimes I even make them for real, only I disguise the part where I am a pudding-hearted sap by putting in shiny jump cuts and stuff. ::cough::)

I agree, Lord King Bad Vid is just waiting for you. If you wanted, I would be very happy to try to make a vid under your direction, or come out there for a weekend of lord king bad vidding. Of course, I'd have to scrounge up the money for a bus ticket, but I think that might be possible. Or, you could come over here for weekend. My couch is pretty comfy. We could do evil, wonderful things together!

Lord King Bad Vid is a great way to start vidding, because there is absolutely NO PRESSURE to make a "good vid". You just vid with your big cheeseball heart and create greatness. It's the best feeling!
