It's a special day...

[thisbluespirit]

Happy birthday to whuffle, rosiedlotrfan, jaxomsride, and aralias! May you have a wonderful day!

Or, at least, as definitely two (three?) of you know, the best day you can, considering that this is Gauda Prime Day. May you keep your chins up, never lose your snark, keep the rebellion going, and probably you should watch fanvids and sigh?

Here are some appropriate vids I happen to like. It goes without saying that if you don't know B7, they're spoilery as hell. But if you don't know B7, you won't be, ah, celebrating Gauda Prime Day:

The Final Chapter

Intergalactic Space Crusaders

Last Man Standing

Cartoon Heroes (Slightly cheerier S4 vid, if you don't want angst!)

The Cave

My Life Would Suck Without You


And Another Man's Freedom Fighter - the piece of B7 meta you really should read. (♥ Also, it's not spoilery!)

*heads off to rewatch Blake*

Thank you!

[thisbluespirit]

I hope you're having a lovely day! ♥

[whuffle]

Sadly, I'm at work instead of being at home with Aoife and SailorSol both of whom are visiting. grump

[thisbluespirit]

Aww, but presumably you can at least look forward to seeing them later and maybe doing something nice? Hope work is not too bad!

[whuffle]

Really work isn't bad at all today. Myself, an intern, and one coworker are here, there's no classes and no clients. Without my boss, we are all quietly doing our own forms of fucking around. Mine is teaching myself Scrivener and working on what might someday be a novel.

Could be so much worse. Truly.

[thisbluespirit]

I'm glad to hear it. :-)

Could be so much worse. Truly.

And considering the rest of this post got eaten up by Gauda Prime stuff, then, yeah. Oh, yeah. It really really could... :loL: (Sorry, for the mystifying B7 stuff here.)

[whuffle]

shrug B7 isn't my cuppa but that's fine, no worries!

[mab_browne]

Thanks for those links. I felt like some B7 vids.

[thisbluespirit]

Glad I could help out! :-)

Thank you for the birthday wishes.

I still have not forgiven the Beeb for ruining my 16th birthday.

[swordznsorcery.livejournal.com]

Oh, man. I was coming here to share a wistful sigh with lost_spook when I saw your comment. It happened on your birthday?! That's just mean!

[jaxomsride.livejournal.com]

It was horrible, looking forward to a great climax, there had even been rumours of the Rebellion winning. Then we got Blake

[swordznsorcery.livejournal.com]

Ouch. I wouldn't have heard any rumours, so no expectations, but it certainly knocked me sideways. I was six. Heroes didn't die! My older sister had been a huge fan all along, and I know it really upset her.

I've always heard talk of Chris Boucher being "the man who killed Christmas", but to have your birthday ruined as well really sucks. You deserve some sort of "I Survived Gauda Prime" badge!

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, well, hope they didn't manage to ruin this one for you! ♥

[jaxomsride.livejournal.com]

Didn't watch much telly. Work managed to cast a pall over this one as they wouldn't let me take a day off.

[rosiedlotrfan.livejournal.com]

It was my 25th :/

[swordznsorcery.livejournal.com]

Thanks for these links! I will hopefully catch up with them during the day. Should have watched them yesterday, I know, but I seem to be a day or two late with everything on LJ just recently!

Such a shame we never got that fourth Kevin Davies doc. I'd love to have heard the cast's reactions to the events on Gauda Prime. *woe*

[thisbluespirit]

I don't suppose it really matters when you watch them. :-)

[swordznsorcery.livejournal.com]

Well, no, but every year I mean to mark the occasion, and then time gets in the way! "The Cave" is very good, isn't it. I don't like the song much, I admit, but it fits beautifully, and the editing is terrific.

[thisbluespirit]

Yes, it's really well done. :-)

[elviaprose.livejournal.com]

Thanks for reccing my vid! Made my day <3

[thisbluespirit]

It's an amazing vid! (I also made a bunch of posts, including that, over on Tumblr & you should see the nice reblogs it got. I realise belatedly that you might not have wanted it on Tumblr, sorry, but the damage is done, as I can delete my post, but the reblogs remain... /o\ Also Tumblr is weird and doesn't show this, which has such nice tags, you need to see it.)

[elviaprose.livejournal.com]

No, I'm delighted! Thank you so much!

[rosiedlotrfan.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the birthday wishes! And also for the vids, which I love - for values of 'love' that include NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn you, BBC!

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, well, glad you had a good day and 'enjoyed' the vids! :-)
