youtube: chinese stuff & misc; meme

Putzing around on YouTube and found some random clips from CCTV (like.. Chinese MTV) and other Chinese clips.

+ S.H.E. - Bu Xiang Zhang Da - cool video with a dark fairy tale/myth theme
+ S.H.E- Yue Gui Nu Shen - I think the video is based on the myth of Apollo and Daphne.
+ Ella of S.H.E. covering It's My Life
+ video for "Tong Hwa" by Wang Kwong Liang. Oh teh angst.
+ music vid: S.H.E. - Tong Kuai
+ Angela Zhang - Aurora. Cool music vid; nice song.
+ music video: Pan Wei Bo - Bu De Bu Ai
+ Gackt performing 12gatsu no love song in Chinese live, as well as an interview in Japanese and a performance of Last Song. Yeah. He's pretty and I like his voice.
+ BoA's music vid for "ID; Peace B" It.. kind of reminds me of a Target ad.
+ S.H.E. vid for Bu Zhuo Ni De Peng You - all three like the same guy, but they find out he's gay. I can relate :-P
+ opening sequence for Taiwanese drama Chinese Paladin. Looks kinda cool.
+ Chinese Paladin fanvid
+ music video for A Chinese Tall Story starring Nicholes Tse and Charlene Choi
+ Gackt speaking Chinese with Vivian Hsu
+ Jolin performing at CCTV
+ China Disabled People's Performing Art Troupe's Thousand-handed Goddess of Mercy dance
+ Dan Radcliffe & Rupert Grint's names in Chinese
+ Dan Radcliffe and Emma Watson speaking in Chinese about movie piracy. Heh. Dan's Chinese is way better.
+ Nicholas Tse wishing everyone a happy new year and talking about what he's up to
+ Nic Tse wishing people a Happy New Year from his production offices(?). With his kids... pet tortoises. And then the interviewer is trying to get info about Nic out of the tortoise and... Nic is answering the questions as the tortoise. *facepalm*

Erm. Okay. I need to stop now. A real entry will be posted eventually.

A little something from shoemaster: the evolution of dance

And via rivier: Supersoaker Oozinator. This commercial is so wrong. Someone from marketing is going to get fired.

sga uniform guide

Lately there have been some quirks in fic that have really thrown me out of them. Silly little uniform things that I thought I'd clear up in a post.

With pictures and comments: SGA On Base and Offworld. I'm covering the uniform and most of the gear if I have the information, which has mostly been gathered by my fellow members at SG-C.net.

Image heavy. This is probably not 100% complete, but will be as screen accurate as possible. Gear and uniforms will differ from actual military standards. Comments and corrections welcome.

USMC

I don't really feel the need to go too in-depth here. The Marines at the end of season 1 and during season 2 ("The Siege" and "Duet") have been seen wearing Urban Digital MARPAT BDUs. It all seems like standard issue, so more information on Marine uniforms can be found here.

And thus ends my geekitude for the night. Feel free to direct people here or whatever.
