New Fandom: Sorting the Stacks

I just had a moment where I said to myself that it was time to post to LJ. Then myself told me that I had nothing really to say. And then me told myself that having nothing to say has not once stopped me from talking in all of thirty years and today is not the day to start trying new things.

So I am posting. Except I should have a ton of things to say - I just watched 4 shows in their entirety in, like, six weeks time. That is intensive imput, people. I should have tons and tons to say or talk about or posit or write or ponder and yet...

::butterflies flutter around in the utter empty corridors of my brain::

So I need to be organized about this - because somewhere in the rooms off the empty corridors, there are thoughts and observations. I just can't get to them because I can't find them because my organizational skills suck and my brain is so cluttered that if you open one of the doors off my pristine hallways, you very well could be buried in an avalanche of magazines and roller-blading equipment.

So, I need to make a list of things I need to make into stacks in the nice clean hallways so that when the time comes to talk about it - I'll know where the stuff is.


lj cutting for talk about Stargate:Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica, Carnivale and Wonderfalls. I am trying to avoid specific spoilers, but you know - this is me. Carnivale might not be safe to read if you haven't seen it.

That Ole Music Meme

I got tagged by vagabondage!!

1. Total volume of music files on my computer: I have no earthly idea. I have music files (multiple) on every hard drive and then I have downloaded music floating in one catch all before I move it to a file and then I also have a lot of music in different aim ID folders and it all becomes very confusing but somehow - I can usually find stuff. I just have no idea where it lies as a whole.


2. The Last CD I bought was: "Quality" by Talib Kweli. I think.


3. The Last Song I Listened To Before Writing This: "When I Paint My Masterpiece" by Emmylou Harris because it is my favorite Dylan cover of all time, which is saying a LOT, but when Harris sang it - it went from being a song that I enjoyed to being a song that was suddenly intensely personal. Also, I am vidding it. This song is currently on repeat, indefinately.


4. Five Songs I Listen To A Lot:

All are songs that I want to vid or are vids or that live in my head because lately I have been in imput mode fannishly, so all songs I listen to are vids in a way. Or not. But still, are.

1. "No Touch" Madder Rose. This is my River song.
2. "Night on the Sun" Modest Mouse. This is my Atlantis song if just_eunice will collab with me.
3. "Grace" by Peter Mulvey. I love this song and it makes me happy and I just found a promo single in a dollar bin at a local used CD shop so I don't even have to hit repeat.
4. "Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik" by Outkast. In my head it is about Atlantis. Just. Leave me alone.
5. "Hold Fast to the Right" by June Carter Cash. If I can get through a song she sings without crying, I am doing really good. This could be an intensely creepy Carnivale vid that I will never make or advocate making because I think June would disapprove. But other than my own issues - I can see where this would really work.

Now, five songs that I have been listening to a lot in the past couple of months would be:

1. "Baby" by Imperial Teen - vid
2. "Johnny Feelgood" by Liz Phair - wants to be a vid
3. "Underwhelmed" by Sloan - yearns to be a vid
4. "Talking to a Brick Wall" by the Cooper Temple Clause - vid
5. "Waltz Across Texas Tonight" by Emmylou Harris - vid


And now I tag five people to also complete this meme - BUT ONLY IF THEY WANT TO DO IT!!
