memes + spn day! + vampire pornography + supernatural fandom is crazy but sometimes fun
1. So I spent today between studying Medieval stuff which is so boring I want to tear my hair out and twittering #luciferisrising, which means I ended up right there in the pseudo-religious war before they stopped everything. I mean, how freaking stupid is it that Puff Daddy of everyone (I refuse to call him by his current name, it's too ridiculous and I don't care about him enough really) sees the tweets for the SPN premiere, thinks we're Satanists and starts #godishere topics? And then of course Twitter shut both of them down and it looks like it has made Fox News, but seriously. Click on the tag and it becomes fairly clear that it's not a horde of Satanists taking over Twitter. Seriously. So much fail, but it's also way too amusing for its own good. Also, Puff Daddy should go hiding and watch more TV, but whatever. Though at least it was a welcome parenthesis from idiots discussing whether angels move celestial spheres or not and God's free will. *sigh*
2. MEMES! Uh, so, tagged by ladymacbeth77 for this one. Rules: Don't think to much. Write down a list of 15 books you're really attached to. Don't take more than 15 minutes: write down the first 15 coming to your mind! Tag 15 friends. -> whoever wants to do it. I'm too Medieval brain-dead to tag.
1. 1984 (George Orwell)
2. The Three Musketeers (Alexandre Dumas)
3. Wuthering Heights (Emily Bronte)
4. The Dark Tower Series - The Waste Lands (Stephen King) / well, I figured that a series of seven books can't count for one, can it?
5. The Grapes Of Wrath (John Steinbeck)
6. Maurice (E. M. Forster)
7. Lolita (Vladimir Nabokov)
8. The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay (Michael Chabon)
9. Diary (Anne Frank)
10. The Wasteland (T. S. Eliot) / I hope poems are valid, too?

12. High Fidelity (Nick Hornby)
13. Slaughterhouse V (Kurt Vonnegut)
14. Ten Little Indians (Agatha Christie)
15. Good Omens (Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman)
3. Stolen from practically everyone: sharing is caring!
For one week, recommend/share:
→ Day 1: a song
Day 2: a picture
Day 3: a book/ebook/fanfic
Day 4: a site
Day 5: a youtube clip
Day 6: a quote
Day 7: whatever tickles your fancy
And since day 1 is songs and I haven't inflicted music upon you in a while... you get three. ;)
Last Kiss by Pearl Jam -> I fell in love with this. Yeah, yeah, I'm still not done with my Pearl Jam phase and while this is a cover it's just so beautiful. And Eddie's voice, MMM.
Billie Jean by Chris Cornell -> so. I generally never liked Michael Jackson too much (musically speaking), with this song being the only exception (and I guess I'm not original there), but this version? Freaking wow. I just love how he completely re-worked it. And his voice, dammit. Just a gem imo.
I've Been Delivered by Wallflowers -> My latest obsession. They're good. REALLY good. (Btw, thanks wandersfound. ;) ) I'm still on the discovering phase, but this one is seriously so good. It has lyrics which are awesome and imo are kind of the proof that someone in there is related to Bob Dylan and the music is so good and just, they're awesome.
White Boots Marching In A Yellow Land by Eric Anderson with Wyclef Jean -> this was on the Sowing The Seeds compilation I bought because of a Springsteen/Seeger duet, which btw is the best compilation ever. It's another cover (lol, cover post!) of a 60s protest song done with the Afghanistan war in mind (I think it was recorded months after it started) and apart from me liking the lead singer a lot, I really ended up digging the folk-song-with-rock-arrangements + rap mixup. It's just so unique.
I'll Cover You from the RENT movie soundtrack -> so, pnr got me hooked up on Rent and while I think that my favorite song is Another Day, lately I'm totally all over this. It's just so lovely and it's my Rent OTP singing it and it just makes me happy when I listen to it. If I don't think about what happens in act II, but that's another problem.
4. I can't believe tomorrow morning (for me, tonight for you lucky not-Europeans) not only the SPN hiatus will be over, but I'll get the vampire pornography which means HIS PRETTINESS ON MY PC REGULARLY AGAIN. *dies*
5. Also, if today's craziness on Twitter has some results, I sure hope as hell that SPN's ratings are very high and that since the vampire pornography is paired with them, that it gets good ratings too. Ohmyyy.
6. Expect a heavy politics bitching post in a couple of days maybe. And it won't be pretty, but I won't let a certain idiot ruin my squeeage for point #4.
7. Okay, guess I'll go and head to bed, so at least I don't have the risk of oversleeping tomorrow morning. I doubt it'd happen, but still. Happy SPN day everyone who gets it regularly! ;)
