fanvid recs - Wiseguy

Since I've recently fallen into Wiseguy, I figured I'd start there with my fanvid recs:

Nights in White Satin by Lynn C and Tashery S (1993)

(You Don't Have To) Play Me Backwards by Gayle F &

morgandawn (1997)

Only the Good Die Young by

killabeez & Merricat (2001)

Take Me Out by

barkley &

destina (2006)

(inspired by

colls' post in

vid_bingo, I'm going to make an effort to post vid-related stuff over the next few weeks)

I'm kinda annoyed that NCIS: Hawai'i only has season 1 on Blu-Ray (season 2 and 3 are only available on DVD for some reason).

I'm almost halfway through season three as of the other day. Unfortunately, I'm not invested in Sam's subplot and I'm annoyed that a bunch of recurring characters aren't going to get any screentime this season, going by imdb (Jane's daughter Julie, Jane's ex-husband Daniel, Jane's love interest Joe, Kai's father Wally, and Kai's friend Hina) and that Jane's son Alex only gets one scene this season.

I have a vague idea for a couple vids, but haven't gotten very far in brainstorming songs for them yet. I might end up making icons for it at some point too.

Victory!

The fifth StudioWorks DVD set was the charm! (Considering this one was mailed in a poly mailer with no padding, I'm a bit surprised it arrived in pretty decent shape, let alone with a disc three that plays fine.)

Tarot Prompt Meme is back!

I absolutely love tarot for the rich visuals and just how many different readings/thoughts it can prompt. And many people use tarot for creative work, storytelling, roleplaying... and so here it is, the prompt meme! Featuring The Mystical Dream Tarot & The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracle.

Search maintenance

Happy Wednesday!

I'm taking search offline sometime today to upgrade the server to a new instance type. It should be down for a day or so -- sorry for the inconvenience. If you're curious, the existing search machine is over 10 years old and was starting to accumulate a decade of cruft...!

Also, apparently these older machines cost more than twice what the newer ones cost, on top of being slower. Trying to save a bit of maintenance and cost, and hopefully a Wednesday is okay!

Edited: The other cool thing is that this also means that the search index will be effectively realtime afterwards... no more waiting a few minutes for the indexer to catch new content.

Three things make a post

Still no joy on my hunt for a functional StudioWorks Wiseguy season 1 DVD set (if disc 3 works at all, 'The Marriage of Heaven and Hell' is very glitchy and 'No One Gets Out of Here Alive' refuses to play altogether).

(I'd think about asking Wahl if he has transcripts of his commentaries, but it looks like he doesn't have a website outside of Facebook and the idea of messaging him on Facebook weirds me out.)

I finished watching season 1 of NCIS: Hawai'i this weekend - I enjoyed it overall and I like that one of the season's significant subplots was Lucy and Kate's romance!

I also finally got around to making subtitles for a bunch of the fanvids I finished this year (I'd been kinda putting them off).

Does anyone know if there's plans for a Wiscon Vidparty this year (and what the submission deadline would be, if so)?

I've belately started watching NCIS: Hawai'i and I'm enjoying it so far! tbh I mainly gave it a shot because of Lucy, but I like pretty much all of the main cast (Jane is awesome imho). There's some standard police procedural dodgyness, but I'm finding it fairly charming. I like that the introduction to Kai was him complaining to HPD about them escalalating a situation. It's also neat how much time Lucy and Kate's romance subplot is getting.

( vague spoilers for one of the episodes )

(I was following NCIS: New Orleans pretty regularly from around season 2 until Sonja left in season 4 - I keep meaning to check out some of the later seasons and the season 7 episodes when Tammy has a girlfriend.)
