1. The computer is finally fixed. I had somehow managed to er corrupt the system with a virus, which of course led to it being subject to an uncooperative internet browser and a desktop that refused to properly load (among other things, numerous pop-up attacks being one of them), I finally decided I had enough of this crap. I tend to be rather ruthless when it comes to disposing of material that displeases me (note the generality of the word material), and before I can even huff properly and/or throw a hissy fit, the matter is almost always already taken care of. Ha. I mean, it's not like I have an over-the-top familial attachment to my computer or anything--it's not like I named it '666 BEAST' or anything of that sort--but I do love to hate staring at my monitor. And it's not like I prefer to have downgraded software that clashes terribly with the new sheek black flatscreen--that's like saying Tal likes to have her possessions of secondary value. 'Scuse me, Mr. Virus thing, but my computer is very much not third-class nor will you succeed in making it that way.

Then I murdered it. XD (The virus, that is.)

2. I've been listening to a ton of Yuki Kajiura's works. I'm so in love. *___* Mainly I watch the TRC anime as a means for acquiring my daily (!!) fix for her music, but now that I've er somehow obtained a copy of the TRC Soundscape I & II, it's not like I'll stop, exactly. Watching the anime, that is. I--I like to yelp fanatically and call out the songs by their names once I recognize them in the scenes. It makes me beam.

The music itself is hard to describe. I like the vocals and I heard one fan describe it as... Japanese-Latin? So my fetish has finally been qualified--I've been interested in these kind of vocals since erm Angel Sanctuary days. Ahahaha. At least on surface level, the TRC music that Yuki Kajiura created for the anime does have a familiar scent to it and brings back images from the famed Angel Sanctuary OSTs, but still they're hard to compare and I think I should resist from such a felony. To employ the only standard cliche I can think of at the moment: it must be like comparing apples to oranges. They're both fruit, but obviously very different ones.

In both the Angel Sanctuary OSTs and the TRC one, I favor the instrumentals more--in the case of the music of TRC, the structure of each instrumental is very precise and calculated; you really feel as if the composer attempted to achieve the best melody possible by what they think sounds better. In addition to 'Storm and Fire' and 'A Song of Storm and Fire,' I really love 'Strange Games'. It suits Fye very much. XD (Fye is my favorite in the series because he's really very sexy. Hahaha.)

3. I've done some research on this.

My mother's name: night (although she thought it meant 'radiance'). Father's name: star (male variant). Mother's mother's name: star (female variant).

And my name: light (Roshni). I learned the name when I was lodging at a cousin's home when I was younger; he had other guests, among them a princess of maybe four years of age, her father whispering her name in the growing twilight as she clung to him.
