miscellaneous stuff
Just a couple of random things:
-- I now have 71 "plays" for my fanvid on Youtube! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeS1Cqj6ucI) And believe it or not, not all those plays were me. :D Youtube also provides interesting statistics. Apparently my fanvid is most popular among males aged 13-17. (I'm guessing that's just among people who are logged in, though.) It's also most popular in the US, the UK, and Portugal. Hello there, you Portuguese Doctor/Sarah fan, whoever you are! *waves*
-- Calufrax is looking for more reccers, and I encourage everyone to sign up! It's nice to spread the fic-love around, and give some recognition to your favorite fics. All you have to do is join![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
calufrax (membership is open) and then sign up here.
-- David Tennant has a slightly disturbing story about someone who accosted him in a gym shower (!) in order to get an autograph. The way he tells the story is hysterical, though. Go here to see it (start at 10:55): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-rVzs-5Hos
-- The above clip also has a really funny "say the next line from 'Much Ado About Nothing'" competition between David and Catherine. That's right at the beginning, so just hit "play." (Guess who wins?)
-- On a more serious note,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
honorh has an amazing (and extremely well-written) in-person account of what it was like to go through the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. She was right in the thick of it -- the tsunami washed away her apartment minutes after she got out: http://blog.oregonlive.com/my-hillsboro/2011/04/personal_account_of_tsunami_and_aftermath_in_japan.html
I've already donated to Japan relief, but I'm going to see if I can donate again. I think it's going to be awhile before they recover from this.
-- Speaking of donating, the Just Giving site collecting donations for Cancer Research UK in memory of Elisabeth Sladen is now well over 5,000 pounds. I would like to donate, but it costs me money to donate in British pounds. Anyone know if I can donate in U.S. dollars? Or should I donate to the American Cancer Society in her name instead?

I can't watch the video but I'm bookmarking it for the weekend. A gym shower ?!?! That's, uh... one of those things that make me never want to be famous.
no subject
So, where's your Youtube vid? Have I seen it?
And yes, I would never, ever want to be famous either. Things like this make me glad that I've never wanted a profession where fame was even a possibility. DT seems to handle it with grace, though.

Don't know if you've seen it or not? Hmmm... when did the view count get so high? And who are the two people who have disliked me? *blinks*
no subject
No one has liked or disliked me yet. Of course, in the two weeks since I've gotten a Youtube account, I haven't liked or disliked anyone either.

Most importantly, though, the more different people who rec Calufrax, the more Calufrax will reflect the taste of a wide range of Teaspoon readers. And that's what Calufrax is for.
