masterofmidgetsI...probably should have considered how bad I am at horror movies before I signed up to do a presentation on Ringu for my Japanese class. I still would have had to watch it, but at least I wouldn't have had to watch it twice. It didn't seem that scary when I was watching it - I didn't realize how much it had freaked me out until I went to go to the bathroom afterwards and realized I couldn't move because I would have to walk past the mirror. Needless to say, I have not gotten very much sleep the last two days.
I did get an A+ on my presentation though, so at least I didn't suffer in vain.
This weekend I am making an Amy Pond fanvid. This is, like, an actual thing. With a grade attached to it. I'm having a hard time picking a good song to use for it. I have several Amy songs in my Doctor Who playlist, but they are mostly romantic songs, and that's not what this video is about - we've been reading about transformative fanworks this week, and I really want to do a project that a) reframes her as the protagonist and b) showcases how much awesome she is made of. Some of my filk songs fit better, but I don't want to use music that will be embarrassing/hard to explain in a distinctly non-geeky context. So I'm not sure what to do.
But that will keep until tomorrow. Tonight I am tired and grumpy and stupidly hormonal, so I am declaring it a night off and devoting myself to crime dramas and naval porn. Yup.
