ravenHello, all. I am here to make a request. I am suffering somewhat at the moment from an attack of Life, and I'm numbing my mind by watching vids. I'm here to ask y'all for recs of whatever vids you're watching at the moment, with one caveat: I have no brainpower left. Not a single bit left. So if it's a vid with a deeply thoughtful constructed reality, or one that explores complex social and political issues - maybe not, mmm? I can handle vids that express "yaaay, I heart [character/show/that thing those characters do in that show]", and I can handle vids that are "yay, ladies!" or 'yay, geeks!" But more than that - anything that involves propositional content - and I have to hide. So sorry, I don't mean to.
To be helpful, here are some I do like and am watching a lot lately, with my current interpretations in square brackets:
-Ground Beneath Her Feet, Sapphire & Steel. [My favourite vid of all time. Atmosphere! Pretty people! Show lovely seventies weird-as-fuck show!]
-Rolling In the Deep, X-Men First Class. [Charles/Erik! <33333!]
-The Test, Star Trek. [Kirk and Spock's love is TWU FOREVER TWU kthxbai.]
-Past In Present, Chak De! India. [Brown girls! India! THERE IS SOMETHING IN MY EYE.]
-Space Girl, multifandom. [oh my heart, my heart]
...etc. Thank you all for your patience during these Troubled Times.

on 2011-09-20 10:43 pm (UTC)Time Lords Built This Citadel On Rock and Roll (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2A9UvJlTHU), Doctor Who. (My favorite cheer-me-up vid. I mean, seriously! "I made it for lols", says the summary, and it has ALL THE LOLS. Indeed.)
Dee Dee Dandy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UHkXT1TZ9M), Doctor Who. (Third Doctor being adorably goofy, to a Sesame Street song about the letter D. I show this to non-Who fans along with What About Everything.)
Lego Star Wars Orchestra (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O61Do03ZCjw), Star Wars. (Lego Darth Vader conducts a stormtrooper orchestra in the Imperial March, using his light saber as a baton. Yes, it is that cute.)
Doctor Pooh (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khe7IFIM_fU), Doctor Who / Winnie the Pooh. (What it says on the tin. I can't decide which is more scarylarious, River!Rabbit or Dalek!Piglet.)
The Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home blooper reel. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKkvbBoas9Y) (Again, what it says on the tin. Happy-making and quotable, yes.)

Delhi suggestions, please?
on 2011-09-26 07:19 am (UTC)my younger sister will be in Delhi for a few days, next week. She has read what the Lonely Planet guide to India has to say regarding tourist attractions, but I thought I'd ask if you had any ideas of less famous but interesting sites to visit.
She'll be on her own while in the city and won't have her own transport, so relatively central or easily accessible sites would be best. She's interested in history, culture, food markets, and shopping (mostly in terms of buying nice, lightweight cotton clothes for the rest of her travels in Asia).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance :)
