wanderings

Finished going through the yuletide source material, which is good, as I am also out of wine. (Not that I had a lot of wine, I just finished it, which is good, actually.) On to phase three, hurrah!

...and some miscellaneous recs to justify this post:

Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary, it exists. Joyous word geekery from the Oxford University Press.

An instruction to scarf tying. There are diagrams.

Josh Groban at Michael Bublé's Concert They're geeks and have fun with music. [This could be the most ridiculously fuzzy RPF slash ever. (The Canadian Politics RPF thing, it has done something to me. I'm sorry.)] It's adorable. In spite of years of lingering rage at the months of inescapable overplay of You Raise Me Up I find myself repeatedly, unexpectedly and unwillingly charmed by Josh Groban. (He knows how to make fun of himself, okay?) Bublé is pretty damn cute in this and the fangirls are amazing. In summary: Geeks!

For Your Entertainment - the music video that proves that Adam Lambert is the cutest little puppy ever. There's snakes and a garden and it's all very sexual and completely unsubtle. There is BDSM and implied glitter. [There is totally implied glitter. Things are ridiculously shiny and apparently after his AMA performance (which can be found on vimeo) his keyboardist tweeted a Velvet Goldmine quote. Implied Glitter.] Also: he has an eyebrow.

Vogue by sockkpuppett
300
Gorgeous and hilarious. An appreciation/viewing of the movie is not necessary for this vid. It's magazine-shiny. It really is. It answers the question of why there are so many shirtless and pantless men wearing capes in this film. The use of colour in this vid is fantastic. (Additionally, the red/white/blue lens thing coupled with the ridiculous Greco-Roman costume drama is glorious from a French/American political/historical/cultural perspective.)

Here It Goes Again by sisabet
Stargate: Atlantis
This vid is so much fun. It's set to a gloriously fun song and it matches it. It's filled with magnificent faces and jokes. It's the epic and true story of John's love for Rodney. It is amazing.
