"I won't betray her trust / though people say I must"

1. Want to guess what time it is? HA. DON'T BOTHER. I'll just tell you: it's 7.36am. WHO FAILS AT SLEEP?

2. It feels like ages since I've posted, even though it's been barely... a day and a half? There are things I must do - like flist a bit and reply to comments and do this icon meme that lanafromoz took from me that I haven't even DONE yet, heh. But. SLEEP FIRST, AND SLEEP SOON.

3. The reason I'm awake this late? Well, aside from the fact that I took a nap from 6-9pm, and also headed out for another late-night supper/bitching session with noldoparma, it's because I decided I needed to STOP MAKING MAMMA MIA ICONS. So I finished the batch and have now posted them. I realise the only reason I ever end up posting anything at xitian is that I've finally decided that I NEED TO GET MY LIFE BACK. Posting means I will STOP MAKING ICONS. Urgh. In any case, 100 icons = DEFINITELY TIME TO STOP, Y/Y?

4. I've also decided that I'm going to be all restrained and NOT watch Mamma Mia again in the cinema. Especially since I JUST went again, for Viewing #4, with my aunts on Saturday afternoon. They had a grand ol' time, I must say, which is great. :D But I have now watched Mamma Mia once a week for the last month, which is, shall we say, a tiny bit excessive. I think I shall just be good from now on and wait for the DVD. I CAN DO IT.

5. Oh, MUSIC CRACK! You know who has a truly gorgeous voice? JASON DANIELEY.

SO. Jason has an amazing voice. AMAZING. noldoparma and I fell hard for him when we listened to him sing I Miss The Music in Curtains, and I must admit that he is one reason I wound up making that semi-impromptu trip to NYC in June when I heard Curtains was closing. (Julia Murney? Julia Murney who? Ahem.) ANYWAY. WATCH HIM SING AMAZING:

Oh god. The MOST gorgeous song in Curtains, and so beautifully sung. SO SWEET TOO. Aaron/Georgia FTW. Also, Jason is CUTE. Seeing him live = AMAZING. I still remember walking right by him when I was headed towards Virgin on my last day in NYC and he was just done with the Sunday show.



WORST-LIT STAGEDOOR PHOTO EVER. *weeps* Why didn't I use flash?!

He also sings awesome in this:

Jason for Jean Valjean, y/y?!!?

WHAT ALL THIS LEADS TO IS: Jason just released a new album with his folk/Americana band - Jason Danieley and the Frontier Heroes, and I absolutely HAVE TO PIMP THIS. His voice, as proven in the two videos I've already spammed here, is gorgeous, yes? Well, this album MAKES ME SERIOUSLY FLAILY. It's just... a bit of country, a lot of folk, and just AMAZING. He sings a folk version of As Long As She Needs Me that just makes me want to FLAIL - because I was, like, dude. Julia Murney has sung that song. DEFINITIVE VERSION, Y/Y? Well, turns out it's okay if A GUY sings it. Especially since he sings it so well! ;)



>> DOWNLOAD NOW. NOW NOW NOW. <<

Also folk versions of jazz standards like All Of Me and Ain't That A Kick In The Head. Oh, and Marin Mazzie pops up too. YAY. BASICALLY, TOO MUCH AWESOME TO BE BELIEVED.

Here's one of the songs on the album, What Kind Of Fool Am I:

6. Wow, that was FLAILY. Anyway - I watched the VP debate on Friday, because I was WORKING SO HARD that day. :P I'm not going to get into my thoughts on that, but this sums it up pretty well:
