The Corner of Insanity

Details here

I'm still at home, but getting better now that I've added a course of steroids to the mix. Yay!

So... to spread joy, I'm gonna do some random music stuff. I have my music sorted by artist, so give me as letter and I'll go generate a random number and post music. :-)

Might be more things later... ;-)

I think I did this eons ago, but I asked aristoboule to tag me, she gave me T, so here goes:

( Cut for musical ramblings and downloads (no, really, see the icon) )

Title: Wrong Princess
Rating: G
Word count: 372
Prompt: Crossover: Final Fantasy IX/Kingdom Hearts, Zidane/Kairi: banter - “There are a lot of advantages to traveling with a thief."
Crossposted: finalfantasy_ix and kingdomhearts
A/N: Horribly incomplete, I know, but this is one where I have the idea for the ending, just no idea how to get there. This is "Alexander Battle", from an upcoming Wii Chocobo Dungeon game. Notice how it's a remix of the song from the next to last battle in FF X? Notice the cannon? See my brain go "Ooh, Prima Vista vs. Heartless Alexander summon" but not give me any idea how to get there?

Yeah. :-p

You are in a mall when the zombies attack. You have:

1. one weapon.
2. one song blasting on the speakers.
3. one famous person to fight alongside you.

* Weapon can be real or fictional; you may assume endless ammo if applicable. Person can be real or fictional.

1. 44 caliber handgun, with laser sight attachment. I've shot one of these before... believe me, zombie will have no head when the bullet hits. ;-)
2. Andrew W. K. "Ready to Die"
3. Dante, from Devil May Cry. One man army, big sword, big guns, and hell, you can pay him in pizza. ;-)

First off... haven't done this in a long time, so...

( 10 Random Songs for You )

Question for you music people - When you want to go through a list of music, do you want it sorted by album or artist?

My big plans for today and tomorrow involve cleaning up my house. While I've been sick it's gotten completely out of hand. I'm giving myself a reward - if I can get it back to normalcy by Monday afternoon, I'll take myself out to see Iron Man.

Looks like I may get out of meetings today, the consultant is sick.

Unfortunately, I think I am, too. Damn Yankee germs. :-p

Wrote 267 words on the Springkink prompt Final Fantasy VII, Kadaj/Rufus Shinra: sensory deprivation - What's wrong? Are you still afraid of the dark?. That leaves one to go, the Vergil torture prompt that I really ought to get down before I completely squick myself out of writing it.

Then six kinkfest prompts, and if I feel good about those, I'll go back and to claim some more.

Beat Final Fantasy IX yesterday, and oh, how I love that ending. :-) Next up is SMT: Nocturne, since I tend to see prompts and stuff about it everywhere.

ETA: LOL! Trying to write the Music tag, almost posted "You're a Solidor Now".

1) More Than One, for the ffvii_100 prompt Alternate Universes. Will have to tuck this one away and work on it later.

2) Completed the Springkink prompt Final Fantasy XII, Penelo/Basch: friendly kidnapping - "Basch thought that, perhaps, Penelo was enjoying her role as Sky Pirate a bit too much." Turned out a tad bit smuttier than I'd originally planned, but I'm not unhappy with it. ;-)

3) Posted an untitled 509 words for the gen_challenge prompt Final Fantasy 7, Sephiroth, weapons maintenance

Listening to The Slip, the free download from Nine Inch Nails... and I guess I'm just not that big a fan of the band, I'm deleting more of these tracks than I'm keeping. I like the idea of free music, though. ;-)

About to head to New York to visit my half sister and her family, and will probably be out of touch until I get back late Monday. Y'all be good. ;-)

NEW BLACK MAGES CD COMING!!!! March 19th!!!!

Website is flash, they have a trailer and a preview of one of the new songs, Opening - Bombing Mission from FF VII.

*goes to find a copy to reserve*

In other news, I'll be out of town from crack of dawn tomorrow until sometime Wednesday on a business trip. Not sure what my Internet access will be. Maybe I'll get some more Springkink prompts done, so I don't feel quite so "OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?" about the three kinkfest ones I took. :-p

I got yohjideranged to tag me, and ended up with the letter M.

( Let's see what I random up )

If you'd like to be tagged, leave a message.

Bad day! Bad, bad work day. No biscuit for you.

In good news, I found a torrent for the Crises Core soundtrack. OMFG. Absolutely incredible. The only tracks I didn't keep were the whiny J-Pop piece and their version of "One Winged Angel". That doesn't mean that it's a bad version, however... I have a real love/hate relationship with that song, and I really only like the version from Advent Children.

So, to those people who have PSP's... is there some way to plug a regular sized controller into it? I can't manipulate the tiny buttons that most of those hand-held systems have due to 20 years of arthritis damage to my hands, but I am seriously going to want one when Crises Core and the new Kingdom Hearts game come out over here.

( Thoughts after beating the original .hack games )

( New music you must download )

I think that's it for now... I have prompts to catch up on when I'm a little less drugged...

Wow, this is new, being part of a community where I'm tagged by people. I never got real involved in LiveJournal, it was just an account set up so I could see friends of mine. I am drunk (and off of free beer from a work function!!), but I do appreciate all of y'all very much. :-)

Anyways...

ladyofshadow tagged me to name seven songs you are into right now, no matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now.

Sophie B. Hawkins - Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover
Nobuo Uematsu - Sairin: Kata Tsubasa no Tenshi ~Advent: One-Winged Angel~
Ryuichi Sakamoto - Coro
Within Temptation - See Who I Am
Evanescence - Eternal
Ilaria Graziano - I Can't Be Cool
Jared Hudson - Final Fantasy 10 The Final Summoning OC ReMix

If y'all want any of these, let me know, I believe in free distribution of excellent music.
