I'm off work today. I really wanted to go in because I feel like we're (read: I'm) so far behind, but it's my day off and I'm not hot into the idea of working eight or more days in a row. I'm justifying staying home by getting shit done ( Read more... )

I'm all over the musics lately, I'm sorry. I know I have some outstanding comments to reply to and entries I need to comment on but you have to see this if you've never seen him before.

This is THePETEBOX, an epic beat boxer that creates songs by building musical elements on top of rhythms using what appears to be a synthesizer and pedals. I'm ( Read more... )

While getting ready for night two of the bachelorette this track came on my iTunes and it made me really happy. It's another one of those I downloaded for free on Amazon and it's so fun and poppy and encouraging and I love the melody of it so much.

Have a super-cute, great sounding acoustic that's almost better than the studio version:

One last thing before I head off to my girl Laura's bachelorette/bar party.

I've signed up for NaNo (username same as everywhere: lastofthewildes) but what I'd really like to write is an abstract, esoteric collection of short stories but I'm pretty sure that doesn't fit the category.

Now I'm on a hunt for a plot and characters and if maybe, just ( Read more... )

Have you ever heard a song/melody/lyric that connected instantly with your soul? The first time I listened to this track when Emily gave me a copy of Imaginaerum, it seemed so familiar to me. I got chills throughout my entire body and Goosebumps spread all over my arms and torso. I felt the flute melody in my heart and it was starling because I've ( Read more... )

Guys. Guys. This. I don't even. I can't.

I cannot express how excited I am about this collaboration, and if it weren't for Dejah tagging me on Facebook, I'd never have known. I'm honestly surprised Sharon and Tarja harmonize so well since they have different ranges. With Tarja's (obvious) background in opera, I didn't think it would be a good ( Read more... )

Completely inappropriate and juvenile video pimping. I broke up with Dave. He called me out and said, "I think we seriously need to talk," so I went over right after work. No use dragging it out further than I'd been pulling. He felt terrible that I'd interpreted his comment in such a way, but it is true that he and I would never be able to ( Read more... )

My brother's wife went into active labor today... but because her water hadn't broken and her contractions slowed, the doctor sent her home ( Read more... )

This is probably one of the most phenomenal songs I downloaded from Amazon today. I went and conquered the free music section and added about 200 new songs to my library. This, of the ones I've listened to, is one of my favorite so far ( Read more... )

Lots to talk about, but let me start with the fact that I taped a stink bug to my curtain so it can't crawl anywhere else and it is less than six inches away from my person and it really creeped me out. So I taped it to my curtain and now it can't move ( Read more... )
