All sorts.. (Including Dean's To Do List update).

[ash48]

I have a variety of bits and pieces today.

1. For excellent recounts of the AHBL II in Australia you must check out my_sn_therapy's Syndey recounts Part 1 and Part II Part 2 includes some picutres. missyjack has a detailed recount of Melbourne's session

2. LJ has been a somewhat difficult place to be around over the last week. It has touched many on my flist and made me feel quite distressed. However, I kept reminding myself of the reasons I even have a LJ account and with spectular timing zimshan posted this amazing video which basically speaks visually about fandom and why I'm here. Check it out. It's Kill a Man and it's wonderful. (and I'm a little chuffed that a comment I made is in there too *g*)

3. Before the episode 5.21 I posted Dean's To Do List. Of course I couldn't resist doing a little update. I figure Dean had to mull over it to see where he goes next. Nothing profound. Just my little take (and hope) for things to come.

Thanks again to maichan808 for the graphics. *smishes*

4. Final episodes are always exciting but in many ways this one even more so. My understanding is that Kripke has always had a 5 year plan for the show. So this finale is kinda like the finale he has ALWAYS planned to have. I would like to think that what we will be seeing is what he was thinking about when he initially had plans for the show. I suspect things have changed due to the way the show has developed, but I wondered if this is what it has all been for in the first place??

We will see I suppose. \o/ (80 parts excitement, 20 parts apprehension. But mostly OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!)



5. Perth fan meet up looks set to actually happen!! Wheeee. If anyone had told me 4 years ago that I would be metting a group of (essentially) strangers to watch a TV show and be all fangirly I would have said they were mad. It's not something I would have ever imagined for myself and yet, I'm thrilled that it's happening. :)

6. My first non-SPN vid is basically complete - save a few tweaks etc. I am pretty excited about it I have to say.

See. Told ya it was a mixed bag. :D

Zimshan's vide made me CRY tears of joy. Oh, tonight is going to be brutal, bb. *clings*

Also I approve of Dean's updates, especially the first one. No way they're not going down together.

*hugs*

[ash48.livejournal.com]

The vid was perfect in every way. Just what we needed to see after the week it has been. :)

And oh yes indeed! If those boys go down (which normally, I would hate to see - but they'll be back!! \o/) they better go together...

Dammit being shaped till midnight! *stamps feet* I wanna watch the vid! Ok I am downloading (you know you've made it as a vidder and vid reccer when your vid watchers just download without even looking first :P lol) Yeah 1 hour to dl 40MB - ooh I love shaping NOT!

I am going to be in a kind of holding pattern till Monday I think. Already had to squish several urges to just click on trailer links. I shall resist! And I shall put it out of my head till then.

Yay for meet up!
And I love Dean's To DO list. Toilet paper drops essential.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

shaped? Not sure I've heard that expression before. I get what you mean though.

The vid is a very interesting look at how fandom works and looks at the positives fandom can produce..*g*

I have definitely squished urges to watch trailers for tomorrows ep. I am very proud of myself! :D

Holding pattern until Monday?! Man, I don't think I could wait that long..:)

(Still have had number confirmations yet...I'll let you know when I do.*g*)

"& GET MORE PIE" AHAHAH! &hearts &hearts

Love the 'FUCK' and starred addition too. OH DEAN.

Oh, and thanks so much for the rec! It's just coincidence that it turned out to be this kinda week in fandom, but I'm thrilled it served as a reminder at a needed time. :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

& GET MORE PIE" AHAHAH

Hee! I got in a lot of trouble in my last post for not including pie. So that's for Dean AND for the gals that needed pie! (plus he's so going to be hungry after saving the world).

Love the 'FUCK' and starred addition too

I couldn't think of any other way to show that Dean will say yes. It's a resignation...:( Oh dean indeed.

It's just coincidence that it turned out to be this kinda week in fandom

Yes. It was kinda spooky and perfect that it came out after such an awful time in fandom. Thanks again for it.

*hugs*

*can't speak, can't think, waits for the final episode*

I love that to do list. "Get more pie"....maybe they'll go down fighting eating...*chuckle*

xx

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hee! I had to add pie after all the calls for it in the last post. Plus I indeed think the boys will be mighty hungry after they save the world! :)

Catch ya on the flip side... as they say. :)

It sounds strange about doing a vid in something other than your fandom. I jump around like a crazy monkey there is no such thing as "one" fandom. I do a lot of Doctor Who vids but so many other things become "bright and shiny".

Too hard to stay focused on just one fandom...



And this is from the guy whose last four vids were Doctor Who...

[ash48.livejournal.com]

It sounds strange about doing a vid in something other than your fandom.

Yeah. I kinda harp on about it. *g* In some ways it's a big deal to me because I thought I'd only ever want to vid SPN. Nothing else has ever grabbed me as being brighter or shinier. And even though I love say, Fringe, I don't think I'd vid it.

Though this vid has been another great learning curve. Took a lesson in aspect ratio and interlacing as a result. Turns out movie ratios are different to TV. Which I knew, but yeah. Didn't apply to this vid at first. (luckily I have betas who know about these things).

And yes! I've noticed the Doctor Who focus from you lately. I'm getting that that's your favourite - even though you vid other fandoms. :)

[greenpear.livejournal.com]

I started out only doing Who but so many other fandoms caught my eye. But when I really want to do something "interesting" I return to the Doctor. I doubt if I could have done as well of a job with the "Law & Order" vid with any other fandom...

Perth fan meet up looks set to actually happen!!
For the final, or a catch up during hiatus? Either way, sounds fantastic; wish I knew more Sydney-siders.

I'm extra keen for this finale for the very reasons you stated. Once it's said and done, I'd love to hear from Kripke about it:)

Rightio! looks like I have a vid to watch!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

I tried to have the meet up for tonight but too many were unavailable. Looks like it will be early June. :D

I can't wait to hear Kripke's thoughts after tonight. I'd love to know if this was his plans all along.

Enjoy the vid. :)

[ancastar.livejournal.com]

Can't wait for tonight! It should be epic!!!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Epic all right! Almost makes me too scared to watch... :)

Enjoy hun! (not long for you guys now..)

Love the amended list! Kind of interesting how it hit the major plot points but left all the other bits and pieces still up in the air. And you worked in the pie ;)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Love the amended list!

Yay. Just a few little things I wanted to highlight I suppose. Plus it was nice to cross things off.

Hee! I couldn't get away with not including pie this time...:D

Thanks hun and enjoy the show.
