Mirah and Milla, oh my!

[trinityofone]

Today I:

1. Went to my 9 a.m. tutorial on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and almost strangled a guy who first went off on a LENGTHY tangent about some nonsensical "post-colonial" reading of the text ("See, the narrative doesn't exist until Alice arrives--she imposes it on the citizens of Wonderland!" Right. That imperialist, seven-year-old bitch) and then told me it was "utterly pointless" for me to suggest that possibly, this was not what Carroll had intended. Sometimes I really hate English majors.

2. Wrote a draft of my history paper. It makes no sense and it's four words short (after dinner: add adjectives!) but do I care? No. My inner Hermione is rather peeved at me, but honestly, I could not give a shit. *loves the delightful doneness of being done*

I'm utterly exhausted now--I feel like a deflated balloon--but in the interest of being mildly celebratory, here is some music for y'all:

I promised smittywing more Mirah.

Sweepstakes Prize (That's the one I already gave you, right?)
Cold, Cold Water (lcsbanana, this song totally reminds me of that Stephen Crane poem you gave me for a prompt. Must write that fic!)
Special Death (This one's totally my Teyla song.)
Advisory Committee
Dreamboat
Don't Die in Me
100 Knives
Engine Heart (And these last three are all major McKay/Sheppard songs to me.)

custardpringle said, "Milla Jovovich does music?" Yes, she does! Here are three of my favorites.

It's Your Life | 2nd link
Don't Fade Away
Satellite of Love

(She wrote the first two herself; the third is, obviously, a Velvet Underground cover.)

Finally, here is something cool I got off audiography today. I think it's an interesting Atlantis or John-and-Atlantis song.

Big Science - Laurie Anderson

Enjoy! And, um, write more porn! I'm going to go pass out now...

Wait, except first: GIP! Extremely enthusiastic GIP! siriaeve is the best friend ever, and you should all shower her with porn and chocolate. *nods*

ETA: My favorite RL story of the day.

Hi! You don't know me (obviously), but yea, I was directed to your journal a long while ago (at least 2 months) for a really good story and yea, I just stuck around and read everything else here.

Wow, I babble a lot.

Anyway, I was wondering, cuz you're so freaking cool (a hell of lot cooler than anyone I've ever actually met, and that's saying something), do you think you'd mind uploading the Milla Jovovich songs again? Cuz yea, I'm a big fan of her movies (no, really I am) and my brother informed me she's also a musician, but I've never been able to find any of her stuff.

Wow, I babble a hell of a lot more than I thought I did. Especially when I'm nervous. o.o

*leaves you alone now* Sorry to like, disturb you or scare you or something like that.

....

I forgot to mention: I love your stories. My current favorite is a three-way tie (!!) between And Truth, Beauty, Four Quarters (I'm a sucker for AU), and The Sea It Swells (did anything else ever come of that story?), with DADT, Damyata, Dayadhvam and Idol coming in close second. (Yes, I have no life. That's been established by like, everybody. The highlight of my day is if I get a piece of mail. ANY KIND OF MAIL.)

*seriously goes away now*

Thank you for the kind words; they're really appreciated by totally unnecessary. I'm pleased you like my writing.

Here's some Milla for you (the three from above, plus one track I've since acquired):

It's Your Life (http://www.sendspace.com/file/nhh6py)
Don't Fade Away (http://www.sendspace.com/file/s8buvj)
Satellite of Love (http://www.sendspace.com/file/2snmcv)
Left & Right (Live) (http://www.sendspace.com/file/lsngn3)

Also, I'll let you in on a little secret about "The Sea It Swells"--it is "Four Quarters." It's the alternate (true?) way John convinced Rodney to stick with the band. *eg*

Thank you for the songs and, the story thing? Dude, that just rocks.
