Wikipedia entry, in case you're interested in that sort of thing

**the Palo Verde remix is probably my favorite, but they're all TOTALLY AWESOME! and there are other remixes actually officially produced and in existence, too, but Disney's being a sneaky evil mastermind about where, when, and how they release them. of course.**

"Hey Mel? Is it soda first, or icecream?"
-Vivs, on the topic of root beer floats

the girl is adorable, but sometimes I have to wonder how she'll ever survive.

she discovered 94.1 Madison WJJO while waiting in the van for me to return from nosing around BA, though (I wanted to give the librarian flowers, as she's retiring and I love her), so that was fun. even if she did ditch my Gershwin CD for it :[ (p.s. "Lullaby for Strings" is love)

speaking of CDs, the_automatik, I got your MP3 mix in the mail today! haven't cracked into it just yet, but I shall very soon.



...whoah. the dog just materialized from amidst the to-be-folded laundry on my bed. wtf? I didn't even know he was in here.

SO. HERE'S THE SKINNY.

beautiful, ultra-warm, sunshiny weather

OK Go doing their ridiculously awesome thing
+
the guts to chat with Damian and Dan and get their namey-scribbles on Leonardo (the Il Cenacolo tote bag), even if by the end of it I was shaking too badly (I AM A WEENIE, SEE) to go get the other two scribbles to make a full set

OMG AWESOME


I also love love LOVE how our schoolwide coping mechanism for the busiest, harshest weekend in the term is to GO OUT ON THE QUAD AND GET TOTALLY WASTED. no seriously. ♥

...I just have so much love for everybody right now, actually. and a not-cherry-tree flower floating in a shallow bowl :)


(p.s. smileysweetie, I actually see very little Cillian in Damian, but some, a little bit, and he's a total cutie completely aside from that, so yeah)

-crossposted over here so you kids can get in on the musicky fun, but you really ought to join audiochallenge if you haven't-

( AAH IT'S A MIX! )

music is love, so music for yous: The Decemberists, Roxy Music, Lynsey De Paul, Dusty Springfield, Ziggy Stardust, The Beatles. in... not really in that order.

( firstly, because I promised it: )

( secondly, an assortment I believe everyone should have, especially those of you who are among the 'phantom ladies' :) )

THAT'S ALL!

enjoy the music, dearhearts! and let me know if anything goes down, or isn't working, so I can fix it! also let me know what you downloaded, how you like it... I do this for you, but I'm really quite selfish! I want to hear your comments! when I'm very happy I use a lot of exclamation points! :D

do you love The Decemberists?
...who am I kidding? of course you do!

listen to them in concert here. oh, fantastic.


love and music,
Mel

HENYWAY, I am way too angsty-wangsty-schmansty ... that was supposed to me "schmangsty" but "schmantsy" works too 'cause hey, I am antsy -- too a-w-s whatever to sleep, yay insomniaandschooltomorrowandwhereismyroommateomfg--

a musicky meme snatched from drbillbongo.

These are the instructions:
Put your iTunes/Winamp/WMP on shuffle.
Say the following questions aloud, and press play.
Use the song title as the answer to the question.
NO CHEATING unless the songs you get don't make any damned sense.

O great pool hall playlist oracle, ( grant me guidance... )

and who knows, I may upload these tracks later. I seem to be on a sharing music kick. whee!

ETA:
Name a fandom you know I know and I'll tell you:
1. The first character/person I first fell in love with
2. The character/person I never expected to love as much as I do now
3. The character/person everyone else loves that I don't
4. The character/person I love that everyone else hates
5. The character/person I used to love but don't any longer
6. The character/person I would shag anytime
7. The character/person I'd want to be like
8. The character/person I'd slap
9. A pairing that I love
10. A pairing that I despise

AIEEE!!

silverjet747 sent me Lynsey De Paul - Greatest Hits!!! darling, I love you. you're not going to read this because you're hardly ever on lj, but LOVE.

Kitten is absolutely ecstatic, and because she is, so am I.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

fucking exhausted. brain made of putty. going to bed now.

while I'm out, though, do me a favor, if you'd be so kind:
please point me in the direction of your favorite band/album at the moment -- whether it's just a name, or a website link, or miracle of miracles something fabulous like some actual music I can get a hold of. because I'm so going to need something to power me while I'm knee-deep in CSS tomorrow/this weekend/as long as it's going to take for me to get this DAMNED LAYOUT up and running.

thanks, babes.

[ETA: lookit, I woke up! for now.
