Myself and another girl have to create a presentation on baroque music for our music history ysection of sound engineering.

Problem: I'm not terribly good at studying. I get distracted.

So yeah, gonna have to figure that one out.

PS. The Vitamin String Quartet is fucking awesome!

I feel kinda weird right now.

Right now I'm sitting in my room at Home 2.0. I'm tired and still have a good bit of homework to do before my class goes over studio design tomorrow (at least I think we are if the schedule is correct), but I feel satisfied.

I'm finally at a school where I am learning about things that I actually want to learn about, and I am learning a shitload.

The only way I can think to describe it is that I'm content but I want more of what I'm getting all at the same time. Kinda like a steady dose of pot without needing huge amounts more to continue my high. Just a spectacularly awesome equilibrium of learning.

New discovery, Korean music is awesome. I am thoroughly enjoying my new mini-obsession, though I'm painfully behind and have no money to start importing CDs.

Back to the studies!

Annoyance. When I'm in traffic going into the city and someone goes to pass me. This is not a bad thing, what is a bad thing is when they get in front of me and slow right down. That is annoying.

Anywho, I starts APRA101 (Academy of Production and Recording Arts) tomorrow, or technically today.
Kind of nervous, not entirely sure how the course is structured, but it's supposed to be very intense, very hands on, and ridiculously fun.

Which segways (somehow) into the apparent fact that I cannot get to sleep anywhere before midnight. Just doesn't happen. I'm gonna have to find a job that allows me to work 17:00 ---> 2:00, this would be awesome, but probably won't happen any time soon.

Gonna go check out obscure music nao......actually not so obscure, just a nostalgic shout out. Al Green is awesome. He makes me happy in the best of ways.

White Lies by The Dudes is stuck in my head. This was frustrating.

Later, White Light by Gorrilaz got stuck in my head. This was REALLY frustrating.

SOMEHOW! These songs are similar. And both are playing at the same time in my head. Therefore the only thing worse than having a song stuck in your head is having two similar but not similar songs playing at the same time in your head.

*bangs head against the wall repeatedly*

Best feeling ever, when you listen to a song and your adrenaline just goes through the freaking roof. You feel like you could run a marathon (but you couldn't) or fight off a phalanx of ninjas. <-----????

No but seriously, just listened to So Long by Jonah Matranga. I can't figure out why I love this song so much, but everything in it works.

So yeah, here it is. Live, and not the best quality, but I still like it.
(Song actually starts at 1:30)



Hope you like it.

So here's the news, I'm a frickin nerd or a geek, or at least in the minor sense of one of the word. That is to say that I love my anime, manga, video games (RPGs and MMOs namely), philosophy (though I'm emberassingly behind), literature, and never ever will Firefly be dead to me.

So yeah, some of my interests have this habit of being.....not interesting at all to others.

Then again, things that some people find infatuating......I could care less. You will never make me care about hockey, ever. You just can't.

On a side not, this gif is entrancing.



Ciao

(No seriously, just stare at it for a few minutes. Then try to stop looking.)

Aight, I would be far less stressed if I could figure out a pattern that determines what kind of music I like. There really isn't any sort of....way to discern if I'll like something or not.

Two of my favorite bands (or at least favorite albums created by them) are incredibly far apart in terms of genre. For note, they are Friend and Foe by Menomena and Chuck by Sum 41 (here is the exception, because I don't enjoy anything else Sum 41 has created.)

I look for music that is similar to what I like and end up getting stuff I could care less about.

So i guess I'm kind of a freak for my music, I like a lot of it, but there's nothing that could tell you why I like all of what I do.

And now I'm gonna go dance.

*dances*

And now  I'm done.

Last note here.

Why do people feel the necessity to be dark, moody, and......really creepy. I know I did it too, but I have grown to realize that it is really annoying. That is all.
