Summary: If you're unfamiliar with the movie, it features drag queens on a bus in Australia. There's no real story to the vid, just PQotD set to a fun song.

Notes: ( I realize I probably shouldn't be actively trying to turn people off from watching this vid, but I figure you should be given fair warning...  )

Round One Winners have been announced at Villainous Imagination Awards and Round Two is now open for submissions.



You guys should all go check out the winning vids, they're freaking fantastic, and made the round really tough to judge (but still TONS of fun). The awards turned out pretty good and I'm really happy with the new Matt Good themed layout (I also changed my LJ layout a few weeks ago as the old one had been up for awhile -- plus Jared = love).

I'm nominated in the Best of the Best Round at the Art of Vidding Awards, so...




...if you are so inclined ;-)

I've been frantically trying to get my Sweet Charity vid done in time, but my muse refused to co-operate until like a week ago. Luckily candygramme is very understanding and is OK with waiting a little bit longer.

Once I'm done that, I'm going to start working on a Dexter vid as I've found the PERFECT song! I'm just itching to get my hands on the DVDs so I can just get it made already!

I know I haven't been around much (again, some more), but I'm planning my return to LJ and fandom in general for mid-August, after I get back from vividcon (*flappy hands* Less than two weeks away!!!).

And now, a little poll, so I know who I can look forward to seeing in Chicago next week:

Poll #1030531
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 14

Are you going to Vividcon this year?

I got the new Matt Good album and it is fan-freaking-tastic (I'll likely be sharing it with you guys when I get the chance to upload it)! Also, I just bought tickets to see his acoustic show in October! Eeeeeee!

I finished Book 7 of Harry Potter a few days ago (was able to read it at work because being on chats thankfully requires very little actual work) and freaking LOVED it to bits and pieces!

Also went to see Order of the Phoenix last week and really enjoyed it (though the fact that I was watching it in Imax probably helped me to ignore all of the discarded plot points), the 3-D at the end was freaking cool! I just hope they don't keep that effect in when the DVD comes out, otherwise the entire climax of the movie will be pretty much useless for vidding purposes.

I know I should probably comment on the SPN season 3 spoilers at some point, but I don't really have the energy. I'll just say thank GOD Kripke finally cleared some things up so fandom can stop imploding already.

Trust in Teh Kripke, people.

( RL has been really stupid lately... )

This video is kinda old, but OMG it's too fucking funny. This is exactly my job. Seriously. I really do get people this dumb (sometimes even dumber) more times than I can count.

( Internet Help Desk )

I actually had a conversation with a woman the other day that went like this:

Dumbass: Does my password use small letters or big letters?
Me: They should be lower case.
Dumbass: ...you mean small?
Me: Yes.
Dumbass: ...OK, the letters are small, but the numbers are big. Does that matter?
Me: *shoots self in face*

I also had to explain what the @ symbol was to someone. And when I was finally able to dumb it down enough for her to understand she said: "OH! You mean a capital two!?"

*headdeskheaddeskheaddesk*

And I swear, if I get one more person who can't figure out where (or even what) the fucking address bar is and insists on typing URLs into Google search I'm going to lose my freaking mind.


But...some good news! I was finally able to communicate to my supervisor just how much the phones are driving me slowly mad, so he put me on CHAT SUPPORT! OMG it's SO much better than phone support it's not even funny! I don't have to make stupid small talk with people, I don't need to pretend to be cheerful, it's mostly a lot of copying and pasting and waiting around for peole to follow instructions.

Plus, it's very neutral and people can't yell at me! Well, I suppose they could CAPSLOCK at me if they really wanted to, but that would just make me laugh at them. Plus, the people who actually use the chat support generally have at least a little bit of technical knowledge and are usually able to follow simple instructions.

I've been doing chat support for two days and already my stress level is lower than it's been in months!

\o/



On an unrelated note, I just watched the "Drive" pilot and it was frigging AWESOME (has it even aired in the US yet? I don't think it has, so I won't post anything spoilery yet.)! Now I have a...*counts*...fifth fandom that has hotass brothers in it for me to slash!



I'm so excited, I have pretty much everything all set for my trip to Chicago for vividcon!

*flails*

I already have my plane ticket, the hotel room is reserved, I have roomies, my vacation has been approved. I just need to get my freaking Club Vivid vid done before May 8th (!!!) so I can start working on my Vividcon premiere vid. *tears out hair*


And OMG I love this mood icon! *smishes Jared*

Alright, so since there's absolutely NO way I'll be able to post anything about tonight's SPN ep without a terrible abuse of CAPSLOCK ZOMG(!!!), I'm gonna save the commentary until after I've had time to rewatch and/or get my flailing at least semi-under control. Because...DAMN!

I can't WAIT to read all the post-ep fics! *flaps with glee*


Though part of me doesn't want the SPN season to ever end, another part of me just wants all of the episodes RIGHT NOW PLZ.

I need a whole BUNCH of stuff from upcoming episodes for like 4 out of the 5 SPN vids I'm currently working on. *sigh* And now we're getting another hiatus. Lovely.

I also really need the damned "Heroes" season to finish because I have a ton of vid ideas for it but just can't bring myself to make any of them yet because every ep ends with a "To Be Continued"!


So in the meantime, and because I'm quite possibly insane, I signed up to make a vid for Club Vivid (it's going to be the first non-SPN vid I've made in a REALLY long time). So that will, hopefully, keep me occupied while waiting for the TV season to end.


Speaking of vividcon, would any of you planning on attending the con be interested in rooming with iseult_variante and me? We'd like to pick up two more roomies to cut down on hotel costs.


Oh, and I finally got around to getting one of those imeem dealies.


And just a quick random comment re: tonight's ep of "Ugly Betty" -- Eeee! Marc! *clutches*


*giggles at mood icon*

WOOHOO! I just got an email confirming my registration for Vividcon!!!

*flappy hands*

This will be my first time attending and I'm SUPER excited about spending an entire WEEKEND geeking out about vidding with people who are just as obsessed with it as I am!

*bounces*

So, are any of you planning to go?
