( 5 Songs On My iPod that Should Be On Yours )

Saying 'Thanks' isn't big enough. Holiday sentiments aren't grand enough. New Years wishes and festive hallmarks can't capture this thing, I'm caught up in. But for now, it'll have to do.

I wish you(rs) a Happy/Safe & Holiday Season! A joyful & wondrous Twenty-Elevenses, and Thanks! ♥

6 More Weeks of Winter!

Fabulous! AND I'm not even being a little sarcastic.

New York winter's are so sudden it's merciless and so crisp in cold it cuts through you, but it also centers you. Massive snow later today and tomorrow it'll all be like it never happened. I'm excited. Love it, love it.

Of course, my joints, they protest. Just to be contrary I rode my bike for two hours while watching "Running With Scissors". They should condition soldiers this way, I feel like I could take on the world. ( ...and in that line of thought, Happy Year of The Rat! )

There is no four.

Working on my portfolio and organizing the LA thing is making me hella-anxious, and I HATE putting hella as a prefix. I mean there is only so much Val-Poking allowed; not even halfway done and I'm fit to burst!

Its not 'false modestly' or a 'flaky procrastination' thing. I'm just not vain enough for this much focus. My house is full-up with Val!Shit and it's quite a lot to sort though... so I've been making sure to have lunch with the construction crew on my front stoop every afternoon, to assure them I'm not annoyed, that I'm just photographing them because I'm weird that way and to ask their opinion about pretty much everything I own.

The Benefits of this Stir-Crazy Creativity:

1. I've re-opened my DeviantPrints account! The issue with art thieves... well, DeviantArt will never be known for their brilliant customer service, they're just too indie for their own good. But the hideous humongous watermark is certainly an improvement to doing, you know, nothing.

2. Fun commissions! Is there any better distraction than selfless productivity. I think not. Plus, it makes people happy. That's a karmic good I can do with more of. ^__^

3. iTunes conspires against me as a sign the universe is laughing and now you can too!
With "Amy Winehouse - Valerie".mp3 [7MB] and/or "The Zutons - Valerie".mp3 [6 MB]

4. There is no four, instead here is some photographic evidence of said Val!Explosion care of my niece Crystal's camera working skills.

Whistle While You Work

This Monday is lacking. I'm in need of cheer, aren't you? So, I'm going to recycle something that cheered me up last week... ("The Smoker" by David Schickler).

... only I'm going to add a pleasing graphic and a soundtrack.

jlh retold this short-story over dinner once. I never forgot it but I never remembered it either, until

bowdlerized linked to it.

So this is for

bowdlerized &

jlh mostly, in gratitude for the general cheering they provide that never goes unrealized. It's almost impossible not to grin after hearing this track. I dare you not to! In fact, I dare you not to whistle.

And now, on to the arduous task of training m'self to be left-handed, out of necessity, not a whim. There's a funny story behind this, 'cept it'd mean typing it. ^^; Another day then.

yay, March!

It's snowing again! This morning I got a brand new crappy coffee pot, Banana Walnut mini-muffins and Phyllis Diller coming on the View. As long as I keep Rosie on mute life really can't get any better than this...

'sfunny, it wasn't till I unearth a BitTorrent of the Mad Monster Party? (1969), my all-time favorite childhood movie, I realized what an influence she's been, to me especially. My "Sinister" Laugh^TM is directly a result of this amazing woman, and that's saying a lot... Ooh, she's on. Gotta go.

add/edits: mmm, that was both random and abrupt.

I had such a great yesterday, on two hours sleep I did shopping, cleaning, recoded http://ohshush.com/, which is entirely changed but looks remarkably the same ^^;, updated the cafepress store, special ordered my calendars, baked a lemon meringue pie... okay I just ate a lemon meringue pie, but I watched and waited patiently for my sister to bake the pie, and THEN promptly ate it all.

February was such a shit hole of a month; I'm so elated it's over an done with.

a) My paycheck was held over for a month. This is never fun.
b) my motherboard on my home PC fried. TOASTY fry...
c) got stalked, twice. Once on-line, once to my doorstep. Two different people mind you.
d) got on the outs with really close friend and have yet to make peace, which is un-fucking-settling.
e) had to suffer through both Torchwood and Veronica Mars Season Two. (Both such incredible let downs of their predecessors Doctor Who & VM SE1 respectively].
f) had to suffer through both those offenses while on bedrest, with insomnia & artist block :(

It's been March for a hot-minute; I've got a pot of brilliant coffee, a new motherboard with four bad-ass internal industrial fans, "Spaced" on the external hardrive for re-watching whims, a half-dozen ~~crappy 80's movies~~ Christian Slater flicks, and an entire Heroes fandom to mock ruthlessly. Good thing I had that maniacal laughter part down to a science since age four.

Fcuking Love you Phyllis Diller! <3

Feb - Week 1

Feb 1^st - Cafepress has these Calendars that I don't especially like. Not that that aren't lovely but they're biggish wall-sized and I like to carry something with that I can carry and doodle on. Conveniently enough VistaPress gave me the option to sample their desktop calendars and I'm simply over the moon about it. The best feature is personalizing it, adding in all the holidays, wiccan, urban, con dates, birthdays etc. and having them neatly included beneath the glossy finish.

[Poll #928077]Essentially, I'll do it through paypal but, if I do it this way I can e-mail you an invoice and you can pay either through paypal or with a credit card or what have you. And shipping is for them to send it to me, not me to send it to you. So, I don't make a profit really, but it's just sort fun and new yearsy and a Yay thing to do.

Feb 2^nd - Some More Covers XD.

Blink 182 - Seasons of The Sun [Terry Jacks cover]
Cake - I Will Survive [Gloria Gaynor cover]
Placebo - Bigmouth Strike's Again [Smiths cover]

I have a number more but they're mostly live and therefore of lesser quality. Should I bother?

Feb 3^rd - Insomnia is like an Evil Ex that doesn't know when to quit. All you have to do is mention her in passing and BAMM she's all up in your face.
I've caught up with some shows in the mean time:

Dead Like Me -
Season One : ( Nay )

Feb 4^th -

Dead Like Me -
Season Two : ( Yay )

Feb 5^th - Sat up first thing this morning and the world spun out from beneath me. Every item of food I'd digested in the twelve hours previous soon followed.

Feb 6^th - I really hate sitting around and doing nothing. Really, there was nothing left to do when you can't even sit upright without a wedge, but to catch up with even more TV.

Torchwood -
Season One : ( Nay )

Feb 7^th - So, very fucking ill. Managed to get the Laptop up and running for the first time since...the last time I was on bedrest. :(

Jan 22 - There comes a time in every persons life when they realizes they can't go another minute without watching a John Hugh's film. Appalled to have learned that my life-long friend J has never seen "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", today is one of those rare and beautiful days. She called out of work, we searched out the DVD [Bueller . . . Bueller . . . Edition], scrapped together the funds and hid-out with cheap take out and too many quilts.

Honestly; the thing about Sloane, is that pretty as she is she is delightfully necessary. Not one scheme they ran would have worked without her. She's grounded center in their vortex of stupid. Charismatic, obsessive, impulsive stupid, but stupid nonetheless.

Our party has never had a successful Sloane, we've very much been the dynamic duo. But this evening as it is wouldn't be possible without a beautiful and influential Clio to supply the source for our stupidity.

Jan 25 -

bowdlerized is my hero of the month, because I can finally get that Phil Collin's cover out of my head, having now heard the track to death, not that it isn't good. Not at all as it is resplendent but that's just my obsessive-compulsive opinion. See for yourselves.

Postal Service - Against All Odds (Phil Collins cover)
Sex Pistols - My Way [Frank Sinatra Cover] - listening-essential as it is the track that started the addiction [for me]
Gary Jules - Mad World [Tears for Fears Cover] - because this is both beautiful and one of the most listening-essential covers to come out this generation.

Jan 26 - Had a fucking ruin of a day. This having nothing at all to do with weather. I swear.

The one [remarkable] plus; got T-Shirts from Em + Chris and I think I may want to buried in them as there are more perfect than I imagine they could be upon first opening. Seriously, they meld to my flesh <3

Jan 27 - Had a last minute fuck-off to make up for yesterday and kidnapped and

Jan 15 - Spent half the day getting dressed to go all of nowhere. Kids suck. But watching Rattle & Hum to teach them about Martin Luther King Jr. sorta awesome.

Jan 16 -( INTESTINES!! )

Jan 17 - I'm still killing myself trying to get a hold of The Postal Service's cover of "Against The Odds". I thought this brilliant piece of resource here [link] would somehow be of help, but NOOOoooo the track provided is all of 29 second long. SUCH a tease! It only made me crave every item on their coveted little list that much more. I am d00m-ed.

The White Stripes - Jolene [Dolly Parton Cover] because it's listed in that cock tease of an article
REM - First We Take Manhattan [Leonard Cohen Cover] because makes me think of misstuesday
Everclear - Jessie's Girl [Rick Springfield Cover] because now that its stuck in my head, it might as well be stuck in yours

Jan 18 - I'm copy+pasting from jisuk DA account because I know there are people on my f-list who would resent not being informed.

_{"The last unicorn is coming out on a special edition DVD in WIDESCREEN and remastered audio/video so you can hear Amalthea's awful singing even better! Waaoh dudes. But here is the important part..

The writer of the novel and the screenplay, Peter S. Beagle, is still in legal battles about getting paid for it. He won't get any royalties from the DVD Osales either, frown. But if you buy it through Conlan Press he will get HALF of the profit and you can get it signed by him. And it's only $25! Signed by the writer, so much better than getting it through Amazon. And the unsigned one is only $15, which is cheap. You have no reason to get it anywhere else, unless you can't use Region 1 DVDs.

Click here to buy: [link]"}

On a not entirely unrelated note: I have the Last Unicorn remix somewhere amongst the 26,000 tracks on my F-Drive. It is mislabeled and keeps freaking me out when it appears only on random then vanishes into the mist. Curses.

Jan 19 - Ladies and Gentlemen, it is NOT winter in New York. That is certainly not snow I see out my living room window and that is definitely not crystallized breath haunting the native faces. What that is is God's precum, a practical joke on you whiners who don't know better. I'm telling you it is a set up and when you think you've whinged to your heart's content she is going to sit on your face and show you who ownz you. Currently I'm writing an epic letter to Santa and The Efret [not the one you imagine but the cool one who gets shit done] to get the message across next years that we're coming down and kicking your pubeless Assess!! You fucking pussies! Just for that I'm wearing something smart and going to see Bellmer Dolls while you congratulate yourselves on your on-line purchase of the matching set of gloves and scarves to wear to your Gay Prom, you posers you! I'm off to have mouth-sex with Vodka. So Fuck You.

If you were a real New Yorker you'd be http://www.crashmansion.com/ with me, pulling up a stool and show the likes how a REAL New Yorker forages for winter.

Jan 20 - How mad am I that I forgot my camera on the way out last night. SO MAD. And it was such a good night, such a good night* it left me wanting . . . to work, of all things!

Only time appears to be doing that trick documented in Tim Burton's "Big Fish".

There are these torturous and extended moments when the earth stills and no amount of effort on my part bring me closer to my goal . . . and then suddenly I'm wrong and everything is right and perfect, and the guy in charge of the gears throw a switch and the world spins twice as fast to catch up and I'm left exhausted, enthused and utterly stunned.

I guess in that respect you could say I'm in love with my work.

*Remarkably, I came away with more bruises from fighting with seven children for space on the King Size than ALL of last nights scurrying about. Considering how this time last year, the result for a show of the same size were markedly different I am VERY impressed with myself . . . and very much with the kids, too.

Jan 21 - Lately I've taken to re-reading a Scandal in Bohemia, first time since I was maybe 12. Just bits and pieces before bed each night. I've decided I want Irene Adler. Not to have her, but to chase her. I think I maybe always did. TV Husband not withstanding there is so much to be said for the sort of attraction that needs chasing after. The unattainable.

Sick to think that all my romantic yens are equally as cruel as they are self-satisfying.

In a related but entirely random sort of respect; I caught up with my TV Husband on Soapnet earlier where he was arrested apparently for coming out as a lesbian. Bad writers, bad-bad writers. Shoddy detective work, illegal search and seizure, public inquisition without the reading of rights, circumstantial everything just all over the place. It's a good thing Jeffrey Carlson tosses his hair so prettily or I'd have to get a life in that 45 minute span when I wait for the five-year-old to get out of school.

Jan - Week 2

Jan 8th - Being intuitive can be so harassing! The eight-year-old boy I'm caring for is very likely to be left back, again. I hate that I called it two months ago. Through my prodding he's been doing better but not enough to catch up with the rest of the class. This is so dispiriting, for me I mean. He's freaking elated about repeating the grade a third time. It's not that he's lazy, it's that he's too comfortable...I think. I can't really fault him there. 2nd Grade was certainly one of my better school experiences.

Jan 9th - Today I used the Ten Commandments to make a five-year-old cry and remorsefully prepare dinner for her sick mom. I feel powerful evil and have my ubber Christian parents to thank for that! ^___^

Jan 10th - The house is FULL of sickies, with drooling, drippy orifices. Very ew.

Jan 11th - A TV Husband makes it all worthwhile XD
"Almost at cruising altitude" indeed. Now I need shots. I should crawl over to a Clio's and put her giftmas present to good use . . . except I'm afraid the sickies may have got to me. Just ew.

Jan 12th - I vow not to invest any more money into a school that, for four consecutive years, left me feeling anxious and inferior . . . regardless of how they promise to sweeten the pot. Plus, if

jlh's theory is correct, I'll be getting a PHD any day on account of a lifelong and determined non-drivers status. Sweet!

Jan 13th - Yay! Drugs! Can't seem to drink Robitussin fast enough. Very nearly finished "INTESTINES" pic, but I want to give it one last once-over when I'm not high.

Jan 14th - A long-long while ago I wanted to write a post about Covers, how very suddenly they are my life. Not that they're in anyway better than the original or sometimes in any way worse. For me, listening to a cover is more like dipping into another dimension and sucking out its life-stuffs. I simply can't live without it. Very parasitic, my philosophy of Covers. Anyway, on with the sucking!

30 Seconds to Mars - Hunter [Bjork Cover]
Placebo - Running Up That Hill [Kate Bush Cover] Originally Gacked from machiavellian some 10,000 years ago
The Cure - Hello, I love You [The Doors]

I can't stop listening to The Postal Service - Against the Odds [from the Wicker Park OST] . . . except it's in my head, on account of me not owning it.

IT'S DRIVING ME INSANE.

I may die, honestly.

And the fandom part of it? ( Read more... )

People, when reviewing, say something, anything constructive. Tell me I can't spell, or I mix metaphors, or I always write 'too' instead of 'to' or I missed a hundred punctuations, plague my prose with run on sentences and that I've got no plot or sense of story-telling. All of which is very likely, but do not hate because of you're idiocy. I mean seriously, pick your battles, nimrod.

x-posted, because today I'm rant happy! :)

MUSIX

Kindly, Right-Click and Save As. Enjoy!

Personal Themes:
"Garbage - TripeMyWire.mp3" 4.09mb : A song 1/3 of my f-list have heard to death. So, it's only right that the other 2/3 download it immediately and play it on repeat.
[All-Time Favorite Garbage Track.]
"Placebo - Slackerbitch.mp3" 3.08mb : Exactly how many cuss words can one track fit? s'mind blowing.

+

Songs I Draw To:
1 "David Garza - Disco Ball World.mp3" 3.35mb : this is my happy song! XD
2 "REM - Leave.mp3" 6.68mb : before I got the track I would just watch that one chase scene in "A Life Less Ordinary" over and over, just to hear this song. Love it so!
3 "Placebo - Bigmouth Strikes Again.mp3" 3.50mb : T-they're just so good at covers!
4 "Garbage - I Just Wanna Have Something To Do.mp3" 3.35MB : I never heard this before

otemen sent to me the other day, now I can't stop listening to it ^_^

+

Songs I Write To:
1 "Esthero - Heaven Sent.mp3" 5.15MB : all about the pleasant rampage. Little girls & battle-axes, yes.
2 "Placebo - Hill.mp3" 4.52MB : which I got from

machiavellian sometime ago. I also exercise to this track, the baseline is something luscious.
3 "Cay - Princes & Princesses.mp3" 1.88mb : I'd put good money that no one on my f-list has ever heard this thing, well, certainly no one in the states. Random and invisible this awesome track is.
4 "Eddie Vedder - Naked Eye.mp3" 4.44MB : shut up, I like it! It's the last track I downloaded before 5H stopped hosting *nostalgic*

+

Songs I Clean To: Ironically, all of them Japanese ^^;
1 "little by little - Ireland Fortune Market.mp3" 6.08mb : it wormed its way into my playlist via Naruto, but belongs to none of its soundtracks ?_?
2 "Eden - Destination.mp3" 3.82mb : Theme from the anime Yami No Matsue. I am a sad predictable fan-girl, yes.
3 "Yamato - Rakuen NoTobira.mp3" 5.68mb : Theme from the anime Matantei Loki Ragnarok...blah, blah, blah. <3
4 "Ayumi Hamasaki - M.mp3" 5.15mb : didn't she perform this song dressed as Joan of Arc?
[I really wanted to add Chiaya-Chiaya from the Bombay Dreams soundtrack onto this list, but the fucker would not burn >:O]

+

Songs I Plot To:
1 "James - Destiny Calling.mp3" 3.52mb : this song made

tier_luren question his sexuality.
2 "Death Cab For Cutie - President Of What?.mp3" 4.59MB : I mentally cue this song when I ignore annoying people. Now, you can too!
3 "Sleater-Kinney - By the Time You're Twenty-Five.mp3" 1.99mb : this track made me love Sleater-Kinney long before I heard an album, seeing as how it's a B-Side on their only single ever.
4 "Juliette Lewis And The Licks - Got Love To Kill.mp3" 4.69MB : which I also acquired from

machiavellian sometime ago. It's just so sexy.

+

Songs I Simply Jones For:
1 "Manu Chao - BongoBong.mp3" by 4.32mb : Mandatory monkey song [in celebration of a local

emsariel.]
2 "Belle & Sebastian - Expectations.mp3" 4.93mb : Because I downloaded "Tegan and Sara - Superstar.mp3" 3.45MB from

ely709 and it reminded me of this song.
3 "Imperial Teen - Lipstick.mp3" 3.70mb : same as above, also Destiny's Calling by James [one list up]
4 "Evangelion REdeath - It's Gendo![Pimp Theme].mp3" 157kb : because

otemen simply needs to have this.
