[#009] Oh hay

i. My Check, Please! fic rec post was finally finished yesterday; check it out here if you missed it!
ii. I watched Call Me Katie yesterday, which is a vlog-style adaptation of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. It was fucking adorable, and starred Aussies, and they fixed up a few of the things that I had always found annoying about the original play (which, I'll be honest, is probably one of my favorite Shakespeare plays). They're currently kickstarter-ing (is that a verb now? Does that make sense) the sequel which I have already done so, but if you're interested in doing so too, go here!
If you haven't even seen the series, go here for a mostly complete list (it's only missing the last few bits). You can just go through the tag chrono here, but it does miss a few items here and there, so doublecheck the list! (In particular, they miss a video near the start from Bianca that's pretty important.)
Because of this though, I have now been craving way more vlog series. I mean, it's not like I have enough television to watch, right? (I've been holding off on catching up, because I just want May Sweeps here and over so that it's finales and I DON'T HAVE TO WAIT EPISODE BY EPISODE.) Anyway, I've seen pretty much all of them, but there is a Much Ado About Nothing one which I'm debating watching (the actors look like babies and I don't know if I can handle that) and the Classic Alice one which I've never seen. I also discovered the Mansfield Park one yesterday too! So yeah, there's a lot. But I crave more.
iii. Speaking of, I now really really really wish there was one for Check, Please! because I think that would be the fucking cutest thing in the world. Like, the premise of the webcomic itself IS A VLOG. So it would work so fucking well. And can we have all the baking? Just all of it? Kind of like how they did Sanditon where every other video was an... ice cream related one? (I think? I can't remember honestly.) A bunch of us even went off on Twitter about how this would work. Now someone just has to make it happen. (I feel like it might be best to wait though until the comic is over. but then it means I wouldn't have it in my life sooner. if it ever did. ugh. sob.)
iv. I didn't intend for this post to be this long, but whatever. WHEN DO I EVER POST ANYWAY. SO Dancing With The Stars switch-up week was Monday, and it was okay. I feel like they've been much stronger past seasons, but there were only a few standouts of partnerships we WISHED had happened. Like Val/Jodie should've been the choice from the start. Or NYLE/SHARNA. Like, Peta's cool and I like her a lot, but fucking hell, I had been really hoping Nyle/Sharna had been the pairing from the start, and as demonstrated by the video I'm embedding below, their chemistry is kind of off the walls.
NYLE EVEN GOT THE FIRST TEN OF THE SEASON. I mean, he also got the first nine like two weeks ago, BUT YES, 10. AND FROM LEN. HOLY SHIT BALLS. If Nyle's at least not in the top 3, I would be shocked. (I don't know if I'd root for him to win outright....who am i kidding, i am, even though he is super awkward at points and it's hilarious how bad he really cannot dance)
v. God, this post is long. I don't actually have a fifth point, but it seems incomplete.... OH WAIT, I FORGOT THE MEME. LOL
30 Days of Fangirlism
Day 02 – Your current fandom
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Gosh, I wonder. Check, Please! is definitely my current fandom. I'm ridiculously obsessed and in love with this webcomic. I mean, I even babble about it to people in my real life like B and J who are like, uh-huh, yeah, sure. Although I did force J to read the last few comics of Year 2, and the first of Year 3, and she seemed to enjoy it. lol I would also vaguely count Teen Wolf solely because I still fucking read all the fic. Like, I couldn't care less about the actual show and what's going on there, but I will still read ALL THE FIC. I regularly check these different tumblr comms, and individual tumblr writers to see if they've updated. It's kind of sad. XD
P.S. OMG, I ALMOST FORGOT TO MENTION. I AM GOING TO MIAMI/CRUISE TO THE BAHAMAS IN OCTOBER. C and I officially bought the plane tickets yesterday and I am excited! I'm even more excited that I'm actually on top of my expenses? Whattttttttttttt. Yay, tax money lol.
