only sleeping

Listening to: lab - Wheel of Fortune
Drinking: Chai
Thinking: How nice it is to see the surface of my desk again

I have spent the entire day cleaning and re-arranging STUFF. It has been one of the most exhausting days in history. (Which is why I'm waiting for coffee, right now)

And now, for your viewing pleasure? More desk pics!

Looking sorta respectable

Spongebob trick-or-treat.....*thing* (which is full of candy), subwoofer, Tiko the Attack Iguana, tiny fan, router from hell, and the stereo.

Right next to the desk, we have More Important Things! Television, DVD player, assorted DVD's, and other crap.

Books, CD's, cigarettes, flashlight, pens, notebooks, remotes, and altoids.

Photoshop book, speakers, Gollum statue, Sephiroth, Ron Weasley, Vivi, Spongebob, and Ducks of Good Luck.

Randomness:

New project, Soul Perversion, is still in the works. I'm working on a new layout, more new characters are being added as we speak, and I'm already 30,000 words into the first story that will be going up there. I *will* write a second story as well, before the whole thing is made public- because lord only knows how long it'll take me to add *more* content.

It's all in my head. I just have to motivate myself and get them *from* my head, into story form.

------------

You'll also be seeing a few mini character playlists popping up here from time to time. Why? Because it's fun, and it keeps me out of trouble. I need no other reason than that.

------------

I'm tired. It's been a long day. But productive, at least!

Listening to: Miyavi - Fuminshou No Nemurihime
Drinking: Minute Maid Cranberry Grape
Thinking: About what a lovely day it's been.

I am *not* a Miyavi fan. That said, this song is growing on me even more than Ashita, Genki ni Naare. (Even though every time I hear the latter, I think of the video- which has that endearing "Let's get Miyavi drunk and leave him in a field with a cardboard box, a toy piano, a peace flag, and a pinwheel!" vibe going for it) The music is catchy, and there's that sexy little exhale at the beginning that makes me like it whether I want to or not, because...well, c'mon. Sexy exhale! I am not made of stone, even if I *would* like to strangle the body doing the exhaling sometimes.

(Random note: New music up. Selections from Yasunori Mitsuda)

Had an absolutely brilliant day, even if it did happen to be Friday the 13th. Listened to music, hung out online since the DSL was finally working again, watched MoonChild and made up my own subtitles to go along with the movie. Tortured Tendai with my running commentary on gangster!gackt and vampire!hyde. Laughed myself nearly sick, got to see the Big Guy for a little while, and just generally had a wonderful time.

Now? I'm just all relaxed and happy, thinking over various and sundry new (and old) character ideas, smoking too much, and trying to get the Miyavi crack out of my head.

I have more to say, I'm just not in the mood to take the time to say it. Later, maybe.

Listening to: Oblivion Dust - Come Alive
Eating: Nicktoons sweet and sour candy
Thinking: Of ways to scrub out my brain so as to remove all traces of Ghost of the Robot

I've gotten started on updating the linkage. Unfortunately, if you're using Mozilla- the new navigation bar isn't going to show up for you. This does not make me happy, and I'm looking for a solution. If I don't find one, you're going to have to suffer. (Like anyone cares what I link, anyway)

Now, to kick things off properly? Some rather pointless babbling.

So. I spent most of yesterday and *all* of last night working on downloading Ghost of the Robot - Mad Brilliant. For anyone who doesn't know, that's the band fronted by James Marsters of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame. What possessed me, you ask? Well, how could I resist? For months I've been hearing rabid fangirls spout off about how utterly craptastic the music is. I've also heard just as many rabid fangirls spout off about how godlike and talented James is. I just had to hear it for myself.

So, I struggle. Curse BT every time the connection dies. Watch as it sits idle for hours, and then picks up out of the blue with a burst of amazing speed. On and on, until I got up this morning (er, afternoon?) to find it finished. The house is quiet, I sit down with my coffee eagerly anticipating what I'm about to find. I pull up winamp, load the album...

And what greets me? Utter crap. This goes beyond being merely "bad". This is embarrassing. Honest to god, it is the single worst bit of "music" I've ever forced myself to listen to, and all things considered? That's really saying something.

I swear to god, James is tonedeaf. You just...*know* there's a problem when you're suddenly realizing that this guy makes Britney Spears look talented.

In short? Unless you enjoy punishing your eardrums, avoid Ghost of the Robot at all costs. (Sorry, James. In the future? You might want to try "singing" without the British accent. Because, you know what? Dude, you don't really have one!)

In other news, I think I'm getting a cold. Must hunt down some tea, asap.

Yes, at last- I've remembered this blog exists, and gave it a facelift. You're all going to have to bear with me as I go through my current FF VII: Advent Children obsession, because it's not something that's going to be wearing off any time soon. Not with the prospect of clone!smut on the horizon!

And also, since I have so much bandwidth to burn through each month, I've decided to put up a few MP3's whenever the mood strikes. Right now, we have a few selections from FF VII, FF VIII, and FF IX- so if you want 'em, grab 'em...because lord knows how long they'll stay. The selections will change whenever I'm in the mood to change 'em, and who knows what you might find here the next time you peek in.

The links section is currently down until I have time to properly update it, but hopefully I'll get around to tackling that in a few days.

Have fun!
