I just got woke up from a dream with 5 cheerleaders.
Curvy cheerleaders, in red & black latex sort of corsets with plunge necks down to their navels
doing a kind of porn star version of cheerleading.


bugger.


not that I have a Thing for cheerleaders specifically, but really, athletic and bouncy, there is no bad.



Earlier there were dreams with Doyle from Angel in them. Lots of running around at a beach. Very plotty, but I never figured out what the plot was. The kissing parts were nice though.

Some days, dreams don't suck.

And then someone turns up with a parcel
*sigh*

I'm reading the bit in Jenkins "Textual Poachers" about fan videos (songvids). The bit that impresses me is all the vids he's talking about were made with VCRs. I don't reckon I've seen any from pre-computer, and I think I had the vague idea that computers made them possible. But no, people used to do this with *tapes*.

*is awed*
*gets to feel like a relative newbie again*

There's some interesting stuff there, and other things that seem a bit specific, as in specificly out of date. The songs most vidded to, for instance. Though I reckon every fandom has at least one version of "Holding out for a hero", many of the other artist I'd have to look up.

I haven't looked at vids for a while. I think I started feeling a bit the way I do about drabbles - there's only so many tricks the form can play, and if you consume too many in a row they get a bit samey. This is *not* me being rude to vidders, there's some excellent songvids out there doing lovely creative things. Just they can blur together a bit if you watch too many at once. Especially many from within a single closed canon, where the favourite clips tend to turn up rather a lot.



This isn't actually helping me finish my essay.
There is always more interesting stuff in the world than there is essay to talk about it with.
