And August Brings No Warmth Or Comfort.
I have thoughts on the most recent episode of Body of Proof. ( Mentions of bulimia and fat phobia, so please be careful when clicking the link. ) -
You're Just A Little Bit Too Much Like Me.
So for April Fool's, my body decided to jumpstart my period without telling me. Ahahahaha, I hate you so much, body, you coffin-stuffer.
Anyway, I have The Eagle soundtrack and am completely in love with it, but my favorite song off of it is "The Return of the Eagle" because it's a jumpy little tune with fiddles. I love fiddles a lot. Whenever I ( Read more... ) -
Another Dang Twang.
So yesterday, I wrote Alex and Scott in Toronto for Gus's Take Your Fandom Home With You fest and included a bit about Stompin' Tom Connors, who is pretty much a Canadian institution by this point.
amy_vic and I fangirled over Stompin' Tom for a bit, so in the name of nostalgia, have my favorite Stompin' Tom song that is not The Hockey Song, Bud the ( Read more... ) -
Take Your Double Standard Love And Keep It.
Things of note:
- I had a dream that vinylroad uploaded the perfect Clint Mansell song for my fanmix, and then we had an excited conversation about music on the bus. I had trouble remembering the name of the song whenever I tried to bring it up with her, but mostly, we geeked out about scores and soundtracks and composers and the like ( Read more... )

She's Crazy Like A Fool.
So a while back, swing_set13 made an amazing fanmix for the Green Hornet movie. After I watched the movie, I downloaded it onto my iPod and set about having my mind blown at work on a daily basis.
There was one song by Placebo called Daddy Cool that I didn't realize was a cover until it actually started playing. And then I realized that I had literally grown ( Read more... ) -
We Could've Had It All.
So after watching The Green Hornet, I decided that I needed to hear Jay Chou's music. Because I am like that. And every article I read talked about how brilliant he was at fusing various styles of music together and making beautiful music, so I was doubly excited to hear his music ( Read more... ) -
Paint A Heart Repeating, Beating "Don't Give Up."
While this week has not actually sucked, it has been a long, soul-crushingly boring week, and I feel the need for happy things right now.
- two songs that will make your heart glad: a) Dean Martin - Powder Your Face With Sunshine, because it is impossible to hate life when you hear this song, and b) Kanye West - All of the Lights (Interlude), ( Read more... )

And You Can See That I'm The Last Hope.
Two songs that have been stuck in my head for the last week. I'm hoping that if I post them here, they'll finally leave and let me have my brain back.
Kid Cudi - Mojo So DopeThe thing about Kid Cudi is that I love his music, but I don't like his rapping style. I was bored listening to his latest album and wondering why every single music ( Read more... ) -
Shine Your Light.
Today has been a day and a half, and it has only started getting better with the judicious application of fudge brownies to my FACE.
So to prevent myself from feeling down, here are some wonderful things that are making me happy:
- leupagus and traveller are holding Promptfest '11: Mary Sue Edition here on LJ and here on DWCome join us and write awesome women ( Read more... )

You Don't Dig This Scene.
I just wrote up a whole rant about assholes in fandom shitting on peoples' fun for their own sense of self-satisfaction and then deleted it because seriously, fuck those people. I'm not going to waste time on them or let them ruin my day ( Read more... )
