GIP!!!!1!!2@!!! My lovely Syd has made me an icon, since I am temporarily without the software required to make proper icons for myself. It fits perfectly with all my dial-up woes.
So today I found a really old mixed CD that I apparently left behind at Christmas break. It's all instrumental. I know yesterday I listed the bands I wish I were listening to. As of now, it's "Execution at Banockburn (sp?)" from the Braveheart soundtrack (my favorite movie of all time), some songs from Gattaca, Gladiator, Red Violin (this movie has an *excellent* soundtrack), that one song that playes at the end of Far and Away, a classical piece that can probably be found in lots of classical music CD's, but which I happened to pull from the General's Daughter soundtrack, one song from Dragonheart? (I can't even remember if that's what the movie's called), one song from Wyatt Earp (the one with Kevin Costner -- I don't think I ever saw the whole movie, but I liked one of the songs on the soundtrack, so I downloaded it), a song from Ever After, a song from Meet Joe Black, and a song from Last of the Mohicans.
I *love* movie soundtracks. Even when they're, like, all instrumental. I get up and dance to them -- depending on the musical style it's usually my own warped version of ballet crossed with Hindu style hip swiveling. I love the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon soundtrack, The Piano. Most of my other favorites are listed above. I'll watch movies and then go look them up on the internet if they have a song I like. I remember getting really annoyed when I was little seeing previews for Independence Day that the music had so obviously been stolen off the Stargate soundtrack (the original movie, which I actually saw in theaters and which my family still owns on video tape). It still bothers me occasionally that I don't know what song was played during the trailer for Brokedown Palace. It turned out to not actually be part of the movie soundtrack, and since then I've heard it played in other movie trailers. It's a good movie trailer instrumental piece, I suppose.
Ah, well. Okay. Enough with my obsessive music musings.
I just realized that I did not mail *all* of my tv show episodes. I packed some of them in my suitcase. So I have a choice. I can either watch episodes of X-Men -- the original cartoon series, or episodes of Young Americans -- the WB's teen soap which caused me to first fall into lust with Ian Somerhalder.
What else? Hmmmm... I've decided I'm going to be taking a creative writing course over the summer, but I'm not sure what else I want to take. I might have to submit writing samples. It saddens me that most of my best writing is fanfiction. I suppose I could ask the professor if submitting fanfiction would be acceptible (simply to show my writing ability; not for any graded project). However, then there's the whole matter of it all being so very, very gay. And explicit.
*ponders*
Oh! Meme!
I don't know what's more disturbing -- that I have a larger wordcount than everyone I know, or that I'm so self obsessed that my #1 word is I. Wait. The gratuitous usage of the word "I" could at least partially be attributed to writing RPS in POV. Okay, I feel slightly better about that. Still worried about the wordcount, though.
Anyway, would someone be so kind as to keep track of the vids that are being made this week, so that I can download them once my computer arrives? I saw one recced on
kitkatbyte's LJ today. Were there any others in the past few days that I forgot about?
