brigdhSo, I spilled water all over my computer today. I swear that these things happen only to me. Maybe if I wasn't the clumsiest person on the planet, they would happen less often.
The screen went wild and then it turned itself off, which I usually take as a fairly bad sign, and I had plenty of time to panic over it being permanently damaged while I waited for it to dry before taking the chance of turning it on. On the plus side, it was a good time to listen to what you sent me,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
b_hallward (which I'd loaded onto my ipod this morning). Because if there's ever a time for Tsuzuki music, it's when you're in angsty "I've destroyed something precious and now I hate myself" mood. I loved you though, and will email you comments on it in just a moment.
The computer works fine now, obviously. Though there was a weird moment there when I first turned it on when I thought all was lost. But it turned out okay.
In other news, episode 17 of Utena (Thorns of Death) is the best thing ever. I've been watching the series very slowly, though in truth I think I liked the idea of it better than any particular episode, but when Shiori had that line about "I love the way your eyes look when I hurt you" OMG DEAD DEAD SO DEAD. I love the angsty lesbians. I love this series. This series has my heart. I forgive completely the weird stuff with Chu-Chu and curry and cowbells, because there was pained, hurtful unrequited love between pretty girls. I want the next DVD RIGHT NOW.
The ask-me-a-question-about-my-writing meme is going around again lately. I would do it, except that I did it when it went around just a month or two ago (although then I think it was ask-me-a-question-about-my-stories), and no one asked me anything. Or maybe one or two people did. But not enough! So I refuse to do this meme out of protest.
I'm kidding, of course. As I am a total attention whore, I will always answer anything anyone asks me.

Date: 2005-02-19 07:36 am (UTC)Also, re: music. Are you still looking for Tsu/Hi music, or is that over and done with? -////-;;
And Utena is such good crack. Have you read the manga/seen the movie?

Date: 2005-02-19 08:12 am (UTC)I think what this teaches us is that I should never be the judge of obviousness.
2. This music was from something entirely different; however, if you want to rec me Tsu/His music, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO. I made a post about it a week or so ago and didn't get many responses, and I'm running out of time to find the very best choices on my own. ;_;
3. I've gone through the Utena series the complete wrong way. I saw the movie first; by itself, it is very pretty, and fun in a the-creator-was-on-crack way, but also insane. Then I read the manga; it continued to be pretty, and now at least had a plot to go with the pretty, but it's fairly incomprehensible by itself (at least to me. Smarter people may have made sense of it). Now, finally, I am watching the series. It's my understanding, from listening to other people talk about it, that I may finally get what the HELL is going on with all the princes and duels and incest and WHY IS SHE A CAR, I DON'T GET IT.
*ahem* And then I can go back and watch the movie/read the manga, and I will know stuff!

Date: 2005-02-19 09:32 am (UTC)2. Knowing that our musical tastes don't always~ dovetail :cough:80s:cough: ... here goes nothing.
- 'I'll Be' (Edwin McCain), which I used oh-so-long-ago to close Hisoka's birthday fic is THE TxH song for me, and always will be. There's just not a line out of place. (And yeah, it caters to both my love of character depth and my adoration of all things curtains!fic)
- 'Caught in the Rain' (Revis) Yes yes yes. I've got these lyrics incorporated into The Fanlisting right now. And I adore it. 'Trading thoughts, across from the room, I saw you surrounded... feeling us fall, without an escape, I almost let you down.' Please, find this one and listen to it at least once. If you're aren't sold... you aren't.
- Everyone uses Vienna Teng these days (fuu >>) but I love 'Eric's Song' anyways --;;; It's really an amazing love song. And darkness and love and addiction and com on. Too deep for most couples, so nyah. And so of course I give it to my best boys.
-Here's one that I hesitate to put on here, because if you really listen, words wise, this song tells a very specific story about a guy whose friend(?) is on his/her way up the performance art track. But imo you have to really listen to that, and the song isn't really... geared to that ^^; Also: the singers have really odd voices. But it's the only song on my list that comes close to expressing how I think Hisoka felt about his new partner in- let's say episodes 1+2, anime-wise. It's not an accurate representation of Tsuzuki, but it's what Hisoka might be thinking on that first case, pre-kidnapping.
The song is "looking forward/looking back" by Groovelily. You probably won't find it, so if you're interested I'll ysi it to you.
lyrics snip, the parts that make it for me:
If I were to open up my mind...
I'm scared of the words that come out at the seams
I am hounded by nightmares while you're chasing dreams
My vision is dim where it used to be clear
Looking forward to looking back on this year...
...But right now I am living through it
I can't see another way to do it,
I can't help feeling like I blew it...
...Another game, olly-oxen free me
'cause I'm tired of playing and I wanna go home
Where I will-
Where I'll get my life on track
And I know that we'll make it through thick and through thin
I know I'll get out more than I have put in
If I keep looking forward
Well, I am looking forward...
- 'Dolls' (Ayumi Hamasaki) is a little confusing (or maybe I've not found the proper translation yet) but is very much Tsuzuki('s optimistic side) to Hisoka for me.
- 'Open Your Eyes' (12 Stones) Clearly I think a lot about that whole crumbling walls aspect
- 'Simon' (Lifehouse) I feel I'm getting repetitive and I should just let you look up lyrics and see for yourself.
- I seem to remember having mentioned Joydrop's 'Breakdown' to you, yes? It's still my Kyoto Arc song of the moment. I feel that insecurity and accusation is a pretty big part of this relationship sometimes.
- Oh, and 'Total Eclipse (6:58 version)' XP
...phew.
1. Don't judge your audience by me- it's late and I have the mother of all colds and earth logic is not my logic anymore.

Date: 2005-02-20 11:44 pm (UTC)By the way- the copy of "Breakdown" I have seems to end very aburptly. Does yours do that too, or is there something wrong with mine?
