'tis in the east and rodney is

hmm.  so, other people have been experiencing fandom being dead for the past couple of days, but i've been writing again¹ and listening to music, which is what one² does when one writes.  since that's all that's going on, i thought i'd update about it, kind of. 

much of my recent music listening has been due to aeslis, who's a great music pimp and has recently introduced me to two things i really like:  emilie autumn and sweetbox--the former is a classically trained violinist/singer who produces sort of celtic/medieval/pop fused together, and her whole album is downloadable for free at her website;  the latter seems to be classed with j-pop, but doesn't really sound like it to me--it's kind of pop-rock with some classical influence and very strong vocals.  here are the songs that pimped me³: emilie autumn - save you :: sweetbox - chyna girl :: sweetbox - don't push me.

as for writing, i still don't really know why i let myself and wax talk me into writing an action plot, but it has gotten a little easier, and now it's over 9000 words.  my current favourite bit is "Stop moving me and I'll try not to puke on you!"  John snapped.



1.  !!!
2.  me, anyway
3.  actually aes first sent me "how strange" by emilie autumn, but "save you" was the one i was most impressed with.  i really like the intro.
