I have absolutely nothing exciting to report, but when I get out of the habit of posting it gets harder to start again.
Hrm...what should I tell you? I started watching Homeland last week thanks to![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
kudwora's talking about it...and then went through the entire thing so far in 2 days and am now chomping at the bit for the season finale. I kind of even already started a vid. In a way I'm glad I didn't discover it until the week before the finale on account of I may have had a nervous breakdown if I'd been watching week to week. It's more intense and much, much darker than tv shows that grab me this hard usually are. The two day marathon left me wandering around in a daze feeling like I'd been repeatedly punched hard in the gut. And glad for it. Daaamn.
The big problem with vidding it is that it is so layered and complex with intersecting plot points that literally anything I put down on the timeline, any decision I make about the direction of the vid by necessity means ditching a/b/c/d in favor of e. There is literally no way to fit everything in one vid. Hell, it probably couldn't be done in a 9 minute vid...much less the 3 and 1/2 minutes I have (the song is *perfect* even if I wish it was a minute longer). But I think I'm finally getting somewhere with it.
What are y'all up to?

OTOH, I just got this in an email:
" I just wanted to say that I thought the class was a lot of fun and I've never enjoyed an English that much until this past semester! "

I am going to have dinner with my cousin who I haven't seen since tax time last year. We are going to exchange family drama and catch up on life. I will have the Carribean chicken with Sriracha sauce.

And I did consider futzing with it, but I think it would disturb the structure of the song too much without enough return on investment (I'd need more time than I could squeeze out and still be in the same boat with a slightly less effective song).
