discreet gave me 5 questions for the 5 question meme. If you want in let me know and I'll give you 5 questions.
1. What is your favorite TV show and why?
I'm not sure, currently I'd say it's a toss-up between The Mentalist and Faith/The Great Doctor. The Mentalist just left me with a fluffy gooey feeling (yay fanfic that's been canonized!) and Faith (aka The Great Doctor) because of politics! And sword fights! And stupidly pretty people!!!
Ask me again in a month I'll have another answer for you.
2. If money was no expense, where would you like to travel? Costa Rica; Peru (Lima to stalk, er I mean meet someone and Machu Picchu); South Korea (Seoul sounds so interesting, and apparently you can stay at a temple which sounds nifty); and a tour of Europe sounds amazing.
3. Do you have any furkids? If so, what are their names and breed?
I have a 3-4 year old calico named Calypso and last Saturday a black kitten came into my life. My neighbour's daughter and her friend found a cat they believed to be stray and I took her in here. I've got notices up on Facebook, the SPCA's site, Verdun's cat refuge site and an email to petluck.ca (though her info hasn't been posted there yet) and I'll be getting her checked by a vet soon to see if she's been chipped. The common train of thought is that her previous people turned her out. So shall we say 1.5 cats for now??? As for names, it's down to Spook, Shadow, and STOP ANNOYING THE CAT!!! (exclamation points included). That last one has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
4. What are 5 things that you can not do with out?
Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee.
Oh wait, you mean 5 different things?
1)music- It helps me shut myself away from the world when I need to be by myself for a bit. If I need to get angry I listen to Bikini Kill (specifically White Boy which can be really triggering for some people) if I need to chill the Faith soundtrack works. And 2ne1's Can't Nobody is my power song.
2)Family - I get so lonely and they just help me combat that lowly feeling.
3)Tim Hortons - honestly it's not just the coffee, it's the fact that I can sit and chill out for a few minutes and unwind a bit before getting onto the metro to come home. It's also nice knowing that I'm close to something recognizable.
4. Animals, even if I'm without pets I need to see them happy. It does me so much good to see this.
5. Laughter - Again, it just helps to fight my low moods. Even if it comes from being so tired and misreading an ad or a fart joke.
5. What kind of music do you listen to? Suggest some artists for me to check out.
Right now I'm digging KPop and 90s music.
Ailee has some pretty impressive vocals, I think Heaven is my favourite song with Korean lyrics
But you should hear her rendition of Halo:
And U&I is pretty much what introduced me to her music/killed me dead:
2ne1 is pretty amazing, in fact they're so well known (and well-sold) Microsoft uses one of their songs in an American ad.
Come Back Home which probably my favourite song from their album Crush:
I Love You is a stupidly pretty song and has an even prettier video:
Ugly. It's a live version, and it's pretty raw and stripped of anything flashy (skip to the one minute mark):
And Girls Generation. I have so much love for these ladies:
The Boys:
Genie (Japanese version). Not gonna lie I love this video for their legs alone:
Honorable mentions go to:
Jisun - What Do I Do (If this isn't one of the most heartbreaking songs I've ever heard I don't know what is)
Ali - Carry On
As for non KPop, like I said I'm digging the 90s:
Melanie Doane - Adam's Rib:
This was my shit, yo. Meredith Brooks - Bitch:
Holly McNarland - Elmo:
As for miscellaneous songs? Check out Yann Tiersen. He did a collaberative album with Shannon Wright that I'm still in love with. Pale White is absolutely my favourite track, though:
Midnight City is the only song I've heard by M83 but it's pretty fun:
Ooh, check out Chvrches, they're really amazing and I considered paying $100 for a day pass to a festival just to see them.
Lies:
I also dig Tegan and Sara, Stars, Explosions in the Sky, Raine Maida, the Tragically Hip...
Basically I'm really all over the place right now.
