In which I affectionately make fun of the music industry, etc.
New pet peeve: People who review products on the website just to say, "I can't wait to get these shoes! They're so cute!"
That's not a product review, fool. I can see that the shoes are cute with my own damn eyes.
AO3 is acting super-slow and wonky lately. It's understandable since they're still working out kinks, but it just bothers me that this "7/8 chapters" label won't go away when it's a complete fic. LOL.
My sister was listening to this song on the way to St. Louis and the "I kill my dinner with karate, kick 'em in the face" line made me bust out laughing so hard for some reason. I had been feeling nauseated that morning and laughing for like two minutes at something made me literally feel like I was going to have to have Sara pull over so I could hurl. I have a friend with this hilarious/gross chronic problem of throwing up when she laughs too hard, but this was the first time that's ever come close to happening to me.
I've come to this random realization that there are a few songs out there that have what I'm going to start calling the "ballad sigh" at the beginning. Like, when getting into the mood of a song is such a ~transcendent moment~ that the singer has to take a breath before the song starts; and the producer or whoever of course leaves it on the recording so that you know this is a deeply moving ballad.
Most deserving example: "Mother" by Pink Floyd. My personal favorite ballad sigh is Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah" cover.
Least deserving example: "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" by Poison. That one sounds like somebody was like "Do a little sigh at the beginning, it'll really set the mood, yaknow?"
