Festivids! And stuff.

I keep saying that I'm going to post more, and yet somehow it never seems to happen! corvidology recently came up with an interesting idea, however - making February "Things I Love" month. This has potential. On the other hand, I doubt my ability to think of twenty-eight things that I love. Twenty-eight different dinosaurs? Well, we'll see.

But in the meantime, Festivids happened! And this year, some wonderful vidder has come up with an utterly perfect MacGyver vid (proper MacGyver, that is, not the remake). It's here. Two and a half minutes of bouncy fun, and things blowing up. What more could you ask for? (Except possibly dinosaurs.)

I was also very much amused by this one, which is a celebration of the gloriously hokey 1955 movie It Came From Beneath The Sea, in which an unfortunately six-tentacled octopus is driven up from the depths by hydrogen bomb testing, and terrorises San Francisco. And it's a Ray Harryhausen octopus, which makes it even better. And look! I found this awesome Danger 5 one, that I somehow missed at the time. I loved that show. It was utterly barking.

Hope everybody has had a good weekend.

Things I love month is a lovely idea. And at least it's a short month. At the moment I can only think of Cheyenne that I love, but I can think of at least 28 things I love about him, so I might do that instead. I think therefore that 28 different dinosaurs is more than valid and I look forward to it.

It is a nice idea, isn't it! I just have to stir myself into summoning up the effort!

Well, you don't have to do it everyday in February and there's no reason not to do a dinosaur everyday if you'd like. :D

I also thought it might be a fun and silly way to get to know my new circle members a bit better.

It's a good idea. I'm not terribly good of thinking of things that I love though, other than car chases, swords, and things blowing up. And stuff that's been dead for millions of years, obviously. Also I'm working extra hours for two weeks in the middle of February, so it could all go horribly wrong! But every day is a nice thing to aim for. :)

I tried to do sleeping in but foxes and builders had a different idea, but yet I did NOTHING all weekend. Success!

Excellent!

Ooh, festivids! Thanks for the tip.

That sounds like a positive idea for February.

[swordznsorcery]

It does, doesn't it. Hopefully will be good and cheering if we're headed for some cold weather.

28 different dinosaurs sounds good! The octopus from 'It Came From Beneath the Sea' was excellent:)

[swordznsorcery]

It was. It's incredible how good it looked. Harryhausen was a marvel.

Ha! That was a fun MacGyver vid!

I'm sure you could do 28 days of dinosaurs, especially if you include films involving dinosaurs.

[swordznsorcery]

Films involving dinosaurs tend to be a teensy bit rubbish, sadly!
