Random

Now that I've finally gotten around to paying for my usericons, I have new, extra spaces! Wheee. Because 115 icons just was not enough.

I really want a New York icon. But I cannot find one, and though I am usually competent enough to make any icon I want, google images has not provided me with any good photos. Does anyone want to be terribly kind and point out some icons that already exist, so I can be lazy and use those?

Speaking of New York (most labored segue ever), I need to clean my room so that I can entertain visitors. No: I really, really need to clean my room. It looks like a bomb exploded in here. Um, if they made bombs out of clothes and loose sheets of journal articles.

Oh, I don't want to go to class today. I'm very tired. Let's all just take a nap instead of working; I think it would be a very productive day.

Music meme

I actually have several interesting things to post about, having been busy for the last few days, but because I have class for many, many hours straight on Tuesday, I'm currently tired and lazy and want simple things. And comments.

So! Meme. The ipod horoscope: Put iTunes (or whatever other music player you use) on shuffle, and take the first five songs. This is your horoscope for the next week.

Death From Above - Go Home, Get Down
I like this band; they play a fun sort of Indie Rock with techno influences. The lyrics say, "So that you're not alone/ I wanna take you home with me/ Well, let's stay up all night/ Or you can while I fall asleep". Um, I think the music wants me to sleep with someone. But this apparently is not a relationship in which anything is talked about: "So if you tell me that you'll have me, never leave me til I die/ Why try?/ But if we're living and we're happy and I come back when I go/ You will know." Sounds dysfunctional.

Matthew Good Band - Raygun
Ah, Matt Good. My lovely obsession. These lyrics says, "Armour me with futile aspirations". Yeah, that's hopeful. Actually, most of these lyrics make me think I'll be joining a political protest sometime soon. But we also have, "We've never been there before/ You and me", so I suppose it could also be about my crazy relationship from the previous song making progress.

Fisher - Mad Girl's Love Song
Chamber pop of Slyvia Plath poetry! Which I have already uploaded recently. "I think I made you up inside my head" probably does not bode well for my relationship. Or, you know, my sanity.

Sonu Nigam, Gayatri Lyer (Bride and Prejudice Soundtrack) - Balle Balle (Punjabi Wedding Song)
Yay, bhangra! I don't know what the lyrics actually say, since I don't speak Hindi (if it's even in Hindi, I'm just guessing), but that title is sort of worrying to find in a horoscope. I am not planning on marrying anyone this week.

Jeff Beal (Carnivale Soundtrack)- Justin Calls Iris
Which is a good thing, because iTunes thinks my preacher would be a demonic creature in a relationship with his sister. Oh, Carnivale. You were so crazy and fucked up; why on earth did HBO cancel you?
