Yay! Thank you anonymouse for the sparkly sunglasses. THEY SPARKLE. *admires*
So, here's a problem. As I mentioned I'm leaving this week to attend my son's high school graduation. That is not the problem, that is AWESOME (if a bit weird, because I keep wondering where all that time went that I now have an 18 year old kid on his way to college, but time marches on). I won't be back until the 6th.
It was not until looking at the calendar today that I realized...well, huh. This does not look good for the next installment of the Eleventy Project at all. The second half of this two parter will be airing while I'm there, and I won't be getting home until the day after the episode *after* that airs. There is a chance I might be able to do some vidding on kiddos computer (he's been making noises about wanting to vid and having me set him up). But I wouldn't count on it.
I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do here. I've become rather attached to the idea of having a complete set by the time season 5 ends. And a big part of the point of the vids themselves, for me, is that they are made in the context of the week(s) in which they *air* and how I feel about them right *then* (we all know things sometimes look different when you know what's *going* to happen).
Also, it's sort of a pride thing now. I set out to do this thing and by golly I'm doing it. Since I have the attention span of a gnat and starting new projects and things and dropping them halfway through is sort of my MO, it would be really nice to actually finish something I started. For once. So..what to do?
I could hold off on watching the episode that comes after the two-parter until I've vid that. But then I will be behind, and that...also removes the part where this is sort of an ongoing real time dialogue with the season. I don't like that. I can skip this two-parter's vid entirely, and head straight into the vid for the next one. But then I won't have a complete set at the end of the project. I can try to vid *both* at the same time, which...maybe? Or I could try to do all three as one vid (which may or may not be doable depending on how much connection there is between the third and the two-parter). Argh.
Thoughts?

If you're capable of doing two vids at once, that's a good idea. But even if you wind up a bit behind, you can still catch up before it gets to the end of the season.
