Space and cars and creeps

[alias_sqbr]

I filled in my empty days stuck at home this month with the endless variety of the internet, specifically fanvids, which kept me happy right until I completely used up our quota (on and off peak)

First, The closest thing England has to a space program: the tv show Top Gear launches a space shuttle made out of a car (overall, according to Cam the "challenges" Top Gear dvd was very entertaining and well worth the cost of rental) Here's a bit about what Reliant Robins look like when not attached to a rocket

Secondly, a fanvid: Creep by BradCPU. Spike+Faith/Buffy+angst+Radiohead=love! Listening to the Coverville special consisting entirely of covers of "Creep", I was struck at how perfect it would be for a Spike/Buffy vid from Spikes POV (specifically, using a disconcertingly cheery cover and poking at the fact that Spike is not the lovable woobie he thinks he is, but that's just me) This is that vid, plus much more, and way better. It gives me chills, people. Chills!

I loved that episode. It was better than the American trip they did.

That vid was amazing! I had the chills too--all the way through! Totally overwhelming.

Huh. And that is the next dvd in the queue...

It doesn't seriously kick in for me until the final third, when the three threads come together, at which point it's just..guh.

I still think the Robin Reliant dragster that appeared on Scrapheap Challenge was better. It was built in 10 hours and didn't explode.

I'm not sure that's better so much as "Awesome in a different way" :)

Either way I know which one I'd rather drive.

That's a very different question. "Exploding in a ball of flames" does not preclude awesomeness, but it is fairly incompatible with "I would like to drive it", at least for most people :)
