She Likes Coffee and I Like Tea

Good God, I can't even. There are NOT enough hours in my days anymore! Every time I try to sit down and write something, or try to find the time to film something, I just can't! There's too much else to do in the meanwhile! I mean, good lord, the only thing I've accomplished yesterday besides clearing off my desk and tidying up my room was posting pictures with commentary for Lindsay! It's only Tuesday and I am ready to crash and BURN. In a way I'm almost (BUT REALLY JUST BARELY) grateful for this impending Snow-pocalypse—it's my ticket out of a few things I JUST DON'T HAVE TIME FOR. D:



IN OTHER MORE EXCITING NEWS, Lindsay has been trying to figure out how to review My Little Ponies. I don't remember watching that show when I was a wee!Nella, but by God did I have the ponies themselves. Lucky for her, I have no shame and tend to HOARD things, for I still HAVE all of my childhood My Little Ponies. After retrieving them from my parents' attic, I threw the following together last night as inspiration for her. Because that's what internet sidekick BFFs DO.

( Behold, a picture journal of a My Little Pony story line I made up and enjoyed immensely as a wee!Nella...only with more adult words this time around, and a helping of self examination. )

As it is my want, instead of catching up on my TRAGICALLY BEHIND NaNo word count(BLEH I'LL DO IT TOMORROW /WHINING), I instead FINALLY uploaded the "pilot" episode of an internet review series I came up with, thanks to all the time I've been spending over at That Guy With the Glasses, and the work I've done with Lindsay for her own reviews over there.

The opening blurb explaining the premise?

Agent Anachronism from E.V.E.N. reporting for duty!

For reasons too dark and time-consuming to mention here, it is my job to debrief you on the entertainment and cultural phenomena of the Retro Age (i.e. 1950-1975).

My first mission: A review of the hit 1960's spy show, "The Man from U.N.C.L.E."!

Part One:


Part Two:



So, give them a watch! Feedback--as ever--is appreciated, and is considered to be a vital tool in the fight against the O.D.D.!! ;)

Oh, and OF COURSE, feel FREE to pimp this to everyone and anyone. *WHISTLES INNOCENTLY*


...now, if only NaNo wasn't so difficult to defeat...

HA, Lindsay's Nostalgia Chick review of Disney's Mulan is FINALLY UP over at thatguywiththeglasses.com!!

STILL re-writing my idea for my retro TV/Movie video review idea. I'm trying to write a fun introductory skit, so I can explain what I'm reviewing and why I'm reviewing it in a truly hammy and (hopefully!) entertaining manner. Also, trying to write something based on where I think I can film it and who I think I can drag along in this venture as other characters...who wouldn't want to be a character in a kitschy and campy vaguely secret!organization! spoof?! And really, who wouldn't want to watch the "Adventures" of Agent Anachronism as she saves the Free World one retro-review at a time?

...Well, back to the drawing board. And to this episode of "Man from UNCLE". Research is SO time consuming. ;)

So, I was at mirroriste's place today after work; watching Trek, knitting, and generally hanging out. We were chatting about this and that, and in ANOTHER case of my world being AN INSANELY SMALL ONE, I came to the startling realization that I had run into her once LONG before ontd_startrek.

The Time was Summer 2008. The place was NY Comic Con. I was still living with my parents on Long Island, and that morning I had made plans for a lazy summer's day, one of pool and gardening. That was when I got the call from Lindsay; "If you can get to the Javits Center by 3 pm and be my camera bitch, I can get you into Comic Con for free. You could catch the Hellboy 2 panel!" said she.

With a quick shower and a mad dash to the train station, I made it to Comic Con in time! And after enjoying various panels and things, I paid my pound of flesh by being Lindsay's camera whore as she video-interviewed various people about their cosplay costumes for a website she was interning for.

mirroriste WAS ONE OF THE PEOPLE WE INTERVIEWED.

For the LIFE of me, I had been trying to figure out WHY her voice and face were so familiar! But as we discussed our respective fandom histories, she brought up that she had been in the Kingdom Hearts fandom, and a little light bulb went off in my head.

"Do you cosplay?" I asked. Yes. "Did you go to Comic Con?" Yep! "...Were you King Mickey Organization XIII style?" ...Yea?

THE INTERVIEW'S EMBEDDED BELOW! GO AND WATCH!! Clips of her are interspersed within the vid!!



OMG THE HELL? FANDOM DESTINY, STOP FUCKING WITH ME.
