GTD (bonus cat)

Well, OK, it would be a stretch to describe it as EARLY, but my gosh, we got here in the end! (Yes, the internet is finally back, hooray!)

But there is a cute video from...probably 2017, taken by Ursa Minor of Sherlock, which I thought might be fun to stick on the end. :) Enjoy!

No Internet arghleblargle

Hi everyone. Sorry about dropping off the radar with no warning, I have an episode 99% complete but I have been without internet for...well, since Monday. They promised to fix it on Tuesday, then by Thursday, then today, and now they are saying they might come tomorrow.

Asking strangers who you are - a very early early bird

Why yes it is an ACTING VIDEO. Sort of. It's a video about data, and about casting type, and about how freakishly accurate the internet hivemind can be.

And also about how this could extend to choosing your dating profile picture I guess?

Oh yes, and if you are Arenaverse people, here...

Good Omens on Amazon Prime (Early Bird)

Boy, it's been a while since I needed a spoiler warning, eh? In this episode I attempt to process my dissonance and also express my deep and abiding love for David Tennant.

You know, as you do.

Hair tutorial: Figure 8 Bun

I sat down last Tuesday in front of my computer and realised I have no opinions on anything right now.

Don't Punch Tom Hiddleston in the Face (and other things I learned from Stage Combat)

Well, I literally just finished this video, and Ursa Minor is on my lap watching Wheels on the Bus while I type to you :D

I watched Avengers: Endgame at the weekend, (no spoilers) and it got me thinking about the MCU...also, I just got some really sweet gloves for my summer combat course. View Post

Lego Star Wars! Finally! Hooray!

Not Early Bird, but Stage Combat fun instead!

Hey everyone, 

My anniversary episode is going up on Tuesday, but because of (non-serious, just logistics) reasons, I would prefer not to put up an extra version for you early.

Obviously, that's a bit rubbish for you, so instead I thought I'd give you all something else to look a...

Acting Showreel take whatever

Sorted! The Women of Black Panther by Element (or Hogwarts House)

I am...pretty pleased with this one, though that thumbnail took a really long time to make because GIMP decided halfway through that the free select tool was...you know, not something I really needed at all. Thanks for that.

Still, I hope you enjoy it, and also share it with your friends. I...

Sorted: Black Panther’s Women by Hogwarts House. (Early access!)

A somewhat longer version (by 45s or so) than the final cut because clarity is more important than meandering in this case 😁

How to be a non annoying movie extra

I am going to be mostly offline until next week when the internet is connected at THE NEW HOUSE! Until then, here is your early bird video on how to be a movie extra and not muck it up. 😁

So!

TUESDAY, 1.30PM BST, BE THERE.

We aren't going to stream right away, my friends. Instead, we're going to try out a NEW YOUTUBE FEATURE!

I'm shouting a lot, sorry, I just thought this new thing is perfect.

YouTube has just introduced me to a new feature called Premiere View Post

Bye, John.

Cancer, as it turns out. Poor John. Still, he and his beautiful blue-collared glory lives on in my head and on my computer. And now on your screen.

Please note for extra smirks Sherlock glaring in the background while John looks like a cat model that you put on the front of Felix packets.

John (the cat) is not at all well, the vet thinks it's cancer, and he has gone downhill very rapidly in the last few days.
