Life Soundtrack meme

From the lovely and talented [info]stopthatgirl7:

Using only song names from ONE ARTIST, cleverly answer these questions. This is harder than you think.

So the official diagnosis is...

1) Upper Respiratory Infection
2) Fibromyalgia

I have horse pills for the first, and an increase in Cymbalta for the second with more to come if that doesn't make any difference.

In honor of being defective, here's my favorite song about it

Just a random thought

(Note to self: need headphones icon. Nero also in said icon is a plus.)

Hans Zimmer needs to be listened to under the best headphones you can afford. There are so many layers and little cues that make up his work!

Five more songs I have to stop myself from singing at work

1) "Vanity" by Yuki Kajiura This is a wonderful song about being afraid to love. For the two people who were reading my Devil May Cry future-fic, this is Maria and Nero's theme. I have an image of them dancing in a very formal setting to the last minute or so of this.

2) "Ballad" by Inoue Marina Japanese, I think from an anime. Absolutely gorgeous.

3) "Heroes and Thives" by Vanessa Carlton I got this from someone's Final Fantasy IX fanmix, and it nails Dagger and Zidane perfectly.

4) "Rock Your Soul" by Elisa I first heard this at a ballet recital a couple of years ago. Very poignant.

5) "Hold On, Hold On" by Neko Case This is about as country as I get. Wonderfully bitter lyrics.

Enjoy!

2. List (and upload) 5 songs that begin with that letter.

3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.

I begged [info]tracichan for a letter, and got B, so you get:

1) "Bomb a Head" by m.c.a T, which is not only a funny song but a crazy video.

2) "Blight" by Derek Duke, from the WarCraft III soundtrack.

3) "Blue" by Mai Yamane, the last song you hear in the last episode of Cowboy Bebop

4) "Baba O'Riley" by the Who

5) "The Burdened" by Takeharu Ishimoto from the Crisis Core soundtrack

Writing update

- I have one to write (22nd) and one to post (23rd) for [info]areyougame (FF VII/IX crossover)
- Need to pick a prompt for the next [info]roads_diverged and just write the damn thing instead of just thinking about writing it (DMC)
- Start on the Pride prompt for [info]thesevensins (FF X)
- Tangent to writing, but still important to my writing process: put together Maria's soundtrack and start listening to it (DMC)

That should get me to the end of February

Any of y'all good with Latin?

I went looking for a translator online to work up the lyrics to songs from the Epicon album, and... well...

I typed:
Fortuna, Hossana meus
Legionus ab comae
Fortuna, fortuna equis
ad pugnatoris, in veritae

I got:
Fortune Hossana my
A selection counting from hair of the head
Fortune , fortune indeed
to combatant , upon truthfulness

I now have:
A migraine. :-p

I have been to a few websites, but none of them have translations of the Latin lyrics. Most only have "Orchard of Mines" and maybe "On Earth As in Heaven". If any of y'all know a better way to do this, let me know? Thanks!

My second favorite part of the Inauguration

President Obama's *scuse me, squee coming on* speech was incredible and absolutely what we all needed to hear. That was my first favorite part.

My second favorite part was the quartet. I've seen Itzhak Perlman as a bitty kid on Sesame Street eons ago, and Yo Yo Ma is just amazing, as always. The clarinet (which I used to play) is the sweetest sounding I've probably ever heard. Enjoy!

Pardon the emo drama

No, really, emo is me )

ETA: LMAO! Then my music collection on random picks up Queen's "We Are the Champions". I think I've been told, no? ;-)

Music lyric quiz thingy

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song. (Skip the instrumentals, the remixes and the mashups)
Step 3: Let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.

I skipped the ones not in English, as well as one I could not find lyrics for or understand the lyrics of. :-p Some of the more off the wall ones will probably be posted for download this weekend. ;-)

I probably skipped 3 times as many songs as I posted... )
