I don't beliiiieeeve it.....

Last week I was forced to take 3 days off of work due to some deviant flu strain and now I have to take 2 days off work this week because I did my back in!

URHG! I always feel guilty taking time off work. Plus I don't like leaving my kids for too long. (They were so sweet when I came back after last week's absence. They made cards and I got some little flowers and stuff.. awwww. Plus they were extra well behaved!)

But this time?! Reached over to get something on my desk and BAM! couldn't stand up. So off to the physio and doctors and I've on some some heavy duty pain killers AND 2 more days off work. Of course my biggest concern was the fangirl meet up tomorrow night. I don't care. I'm going even if I have to hobble there. (Actually I can stand upright today, so it should be all right).

The upside is I can work on my reports and maybe sneak in some vidding. \o/

Speaking of which. The lovely yourlibrarian won me in the ao3vidders auction. I'm looking forward to starting her idea. Thanks again to those who bid on me. I would love to be able to make you all a vid. (Maybe one day...) The auction raised a total of $1,835. Which is pretty good I reckon. I haven't got anything to compare it to, but that looks great. :)

Now. I need to do a little research, so I was wondering if anyone could rec me some Castiel vids?? I'm particularly interested in character study vids. Not shipping vids. I will be doing some searching of my own, but it's always nice to be pointed in the right direction. :)

Hope you all are well. Pop by and say hi. I think I'm going to be bored over the next couple of days.

ETA: I'm not sure whether to do a "tribute to characters who met their demise" this year. (following tradition from the last couple of years). I mean - we lost Ellen and Jo, but there are some awesome E & J tribute vids out there, and really the only other major OC's were Zach and Anna. Not sure whether to include Chuck? Or even Adam (again!). So yeah.... enough to hang a vid on? Hmmm... really not sure.....

Ugh, sorry you're feeling so terribly, hon! Hope you get better soon!

This has got to be my favorite Castiel vid. It's so fantastic and apt!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks sweetie. I am not used to being poorly I can tell you.

Thanks so much for the rec. I haven't been watching Cas vids, so I have some catching up to do. <3

Thanks so much hun! :)

<33 icon!

[deirdre-c.livejournal.com]

Ohh, your poor back!! :(

Also, WAH! When you line them all up like that-- Ellen, Jo, Zach, Anna, Chuck-- we lost some fabu characters this year. :( more.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Ohh, your poor back!! :(

I know! I'm a wreck at the moment. I do not like it! :(

We did indeed lose some heavy weights this season. Jo and Ellen were the big surprises - didn't think Mr. K would go THAT far. :(( I think I may need to consider a vid. (On top of those 300 other things I have planned!)..

Which means a suitable song...*ponders*

<33 honey. Love the icon! :D

Ow. Hope you feel better soon hun, especially with tomorrow's fangirl night. I hope the pain won't impose itself on you having a fun time.

Re: Cas vids, you can also try SVS's archive;)

I hope the pain won't impose itself on you having a fun time.

That's my concern! I wanna have fun - not be nursing a sore back. Hopefully I'll be more mobile tomorrow!

Ooh and yes - SVS archive. Good thinking batman! :D

My friend lola does a lot of Cas vids (there are shipping moments in them, but mostly they're Cas!). She's pretty experimental, and not all of her vids work for me, but they're definitely thought provoking: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=lolawaldorf#p/u/11/q2c8umA8cmM

(Requiem Mix might be my favorite. He will chase you is a great idea but...we always disagree of how much viewers get :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for the rec. I have just been indulging myself in her vids. She certainly has a unique vidding style and I have to say it's inspiring. It's different and I love to see different vidding styles and idea. I suppose they may not be as "accessible" as some vids, but certainly thought provoking and unique.

Thanks again. :D

[cathexys.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm glad you found her work inspiring! I'm very much looking fwd to your Cas vid!!!!

Back issues are NO fun. Hopefully you're hopped up on meds and not feeling a thing ;)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Oh yes! Meds are good. :D

Sitting in front of this computer = bad! *wills self away*

[greyowl88.livejournal.com]

Ah..Castiel vid. How about this?

So sorry to hear about your back. I hope you make it to your fangirl meat up. <3

*hugs you very carefully*

[ash48.livejournal.com]

OH yes, that vid was great! Thanks so much...

:D Accepts careful hug! <3

[dotfic.livejournal.com]

*hugs you* Hope your back feels better soon. Don't push it.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks honey. :) And not pushing it?! Man... I wish.. :)

[debbiel66.livejournal.com]

Just read this and am hoping you're feeling better. Back pain is the worst! Take it easy. &hearts

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much honey. I had no idea backs could hurt so much... argh. Though it's feeling better today. :)

<3

[tenaciousmetoo.livejournal.com]

Ugh. Hope your back returns to normal soon. There must be something in the air...mine's really acting up as well.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks hun. Hope your back is feeling better soon as well!

Interesting point about the relatively few characters we lost (in fact, if we consider the heaven episode we kind of got some back...)

There's Adam and Gabriel to consider, too. Rather ambiguous in Adam's case, but still.

Re; Castiel vids, the one I specifically remember is obsessive24's Fall of Man that came out last year.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

(in fact, if we consider the heaven episode we kind of got some back...)

Hee! We did. And I won't be surprised if we see from characters we lost this year make an appearance next season.

Adam's an interesting one. I had him in my last vid - but I had to show not!Adam as that's all the footage we had. Maybe this time I could actually show Adam... hmmmm...

Oooh and I'll check out obsessive's vid. Thanks so much. :)
