in Featured Video: Star Wars Retold by Someone Who Hasn’t Seen It on Jandy's Meanderings
Now I won't need to watch Star Wars trilogy, or quadrilogy, or whatever it is by now. I got the story! That 4 minute clip just saved me HOURS!

Hours you weren't going to spend anyway. :p This is just the original trilogy - she didn't touch on the prequel trilogy, but it's not particularly worth watching anyway.

in Pet Peeve: Security questions asking for your “favorite” on Jandy's Meanderings
Well said! I have often worried about banks using "mother's maiden name" as it seem s that it would be easy for somebody to find out if they really wanted to. And they all seem to just love that one. I often use "favorite movie" and just vowed to never change no matter what new movie comes out that I like more.... First pet's name I guess is OK with me. Just can't use "pet's name"

Yeah, "mother's maiden name" is far too easy. I only use it if there's no other option. If I had EVER had a favorite movie that I could definitively point to, I might use it...but I'd have to go as far back as Hans Christian Anderson or Justin Morgan Had a Horse! (i.e., my favorite movies when I was, like, six).
A comment on my livejournal pointed out that the best was when the site lets you make up your own question and answer. When they do that, I tend to use something like "what's the full name of your horse [or dog]". Since we never use their full names, it's not likely someone would be able to figure it out (particularly with Cim, since his registered name is different from what I call him - someone could probably dig up Rebel's full registered name if they wanted).

in Watch So You Think You Can Dance! on Jandy's Meanderings
Wow! I might have even tuned for that. But since I am reading this on Thursday morning, I think I have missed it. Was the show taped in advance, or do they do these live?

They tape on Mondays, then it airs on Wednesdays. The results show on Thursday is done live, I think. It's good they don't do the competition show live; they had to keep stopping and restarting to get stuff right! Although not as much as they might've, honestly. The host and judges are really great at it.
And don't worry about having missed it; you couldn't see me and my friend in the audience anyway. But the dancing was great!

in The Great St Louis to Los Angeles Road Trip on Jandy's Meanderings
Great traveloge post! I didn't know you picked all the music to listen to while driving that matched what you were doing at the time. Reminds me of Pastor Jeff picking all the hymns to match the sermon! Such coordination!

Well, I don't really. Most of the time I had it on a mix - which is when the Sheryl Crow song popped up and I was like hey, this is a good driving song. I'm not actually sure the song "California" came on at all (or I think it did, but not right when I got to the state), but it was appropriate. So the music choices are representative of what I was listening to, but their placement along the drive is somewhat edited. More so later because I started just putting on mixes instead of consciously choosing what to listen to.

in Featured Video: Frames of Reference on Jandy's Meanderings
Just finished watching this. Plus reading the creator's post about it. I agree, very well done, and obviously with a lot of thought and work. Since I had not seen 80% of the films used, I know I missed A LOT, but it could see what he was doing with the "similar scenes" theme. Sorry Jonathan cannot use his real name on his blog.....

Yeah, I hadn't seen all the films either, and didn't recognize the clips from several of the ones I had seen! Even so. I keep wanting to do something like this myself, but I always get overwhelmed by the time it would take.
