Mom wants me to buy that barn I posted last night

[cornerofmadness]

Suck up the drive, was her exact words. Did you SEE how many garages it has? Yes Mom did you see the noose (possibly a half done lighting fixtures wiring). It's adorable. Yes mom it is. I'd have room for all my shit. You could buy MORE shit. oh right. you have no money. You got it mom.


I was supposed to be cleaning today but I didn't sleep all night so I didn't get as much done as I wanted. I DID get some of the edits done to my novella. I did something moronic. I highlighted the 'long' version before I sent it in then when I went to remove stuff I unhighlighted it and accidentally saved that. So I had to pick over 32 pages trying to find the stuff I cut for length. I'm still missing @ 500 words but screw it. I have enough. Now to use wildrider's edit (THANK YOU)

I technically need only 1000 more words to make 'novella' but as a mystery I feel it needs more of a build. I'm trying to figure out where (if anyone wants to look over a steampunk novella let me know)


I kicked off an interesting conversation on FB. I said something to the effect of 'I'm trying to think of what music would sound like in the far future (with alien influences)' and asked for ideas and just plain old music suggestions since I love music and am glad to have it (caveat, I like alt, rock, country, jazz, classical, pagan and more but am NOT fond of screaming metal (the metal where you can understand the singer is fine. I love that), rap and gospel.

My friend MKF sent this over on FB and I've been listening to it and this group all damn day. I love this song. I love the idea of doing the titular activity. They are well not quite Americana, more folk (my blue grass friends might like a couple of their more grassy songs)

"Three Days Grace - Never Too Late (Official Music Video)" (Watch on YouTube)

speaking of Americana, try this. Some people only know him as Lindsey or Eliot might not know he sings as well and I really like him.

"Portishead - Wandering Star" (Watch on YouTube)

And I have a free vampire flash fic for you all. It was written for a challenge. Hope you enjoy.

Father Dowling does more than solve mysteries

And for no reason at all, a Loki fan vid mostly because when I was in Buffy fandom fan vids were everywhere and while they're still out there my fandoms don't seem to share them (I'm not actually into Loki fandom, I found this somehow last night). It does seem to fit poor Loki

"Preview: Just In Time For Halloween | Season 1 Ep. 6 | PRODIGAL SON" (Watch on YouTube)

Of course she didn't see the noose. But other than that, yes, I agree with your Mom. Buy the stable. :D It doesn't have water stains on the ceiling. At least, not that you can see. You should at least go look at it.

I do like the Dance in the Graveyard song! Thank you for sharing it. Alas, Christian's video would not play (it skipped! Like a scratched record. Weird). However, I remember his voice.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

It's just SO far (like 55 miles)

I thought you might. I really liked it

I have NO idea why youtube does that some times. it does it to me even with songs I played the night before

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that is far.

I do, I like them a lot.

It's weird.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

further than I want

cool

yes

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah, it'd really suck driving over 100 miles round trip every day.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah. it'll be bad enough doing 60-80

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

40 wasn't so bad in FL. Actually, I think it was around 30, but it just seemed like forever, driving it on Fridays.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it was 40 to my college. I've done that for years

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yes, and even farther, I know. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

indeed but I'm getting old and lazy so...

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I really like Christian Kane's music...even though I'm not really that much of a country music type. He's got a great earthy kind of energy. I remember the episode on Angel where he sang at Lorne's bar. I was blown away by his voice then.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

He's a bit more 'country' than I like (ducks wildrider but I love his music. Yeah when he sang one of his own songs for Lorne I was impressed.

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

I love Delta Rae. I assume you've seen "Bottom of the River."

Yep, I know Christian Kane also sings. Darn him.

Thanks for the Loki goodness!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Yes I have. I've never heard of them until today but I think I've been thru everything that's been stolen and slapped up on you tube

I do like Christian

you're welcome

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. It's a good story, I hope you can get in the buildup; I wasn't particularly helpful in that area, just saying "It needs more HERE," but building suspense isn't exactly one of my strengths.

I didn't care for Christian Kane's most recent album -- it's very... Nashville pop. Not nearly as good as his first two albums (less mainstream, more Americana), but I LOVE his cover of "Fast Car."

I'll have to watch all the vids tomorrow.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah I need to figure out where to put some build up. Also do you think it would be beneficial to move the sex on an airship up a bit to work in more intimacy between the two men

I haven't heard the new album (title?) or Fast car will have to go look.

nods

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

It might. Get them a little closer sooner, perhaps, work up their relationship a bit.

I don't remember the title -- it's the one "Whiskey in Mind" is on (his first album was just called "Kane," and then he released "Kane: Acoustic Live in London." Both are REALLY hard to find now.) Oh, the album's called "The House Rules." Like I said, really too mainstream for me. It's very Nashville Pop, not nearly as good as "Kane" was. I hardly ever listen to anything other than "Fast Car."

It's been out for a while, but I don't see any info on a follow-up album.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

okay I'll play with that since I agree, the relationship is way faster than I'd like it to be (I'm not an insta-love person then again no one in the story claims to be in love. It's all lust)

I'll look it up. I'd probably like it better than you. I'm not into the heavy country sound like you are (but on the other hand don't like anything as bland and insipid as anything put about by Taylor Swift)

I do have Kane on CD...somewhere in this place

hehehe, here's another loki one:

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

neat

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

and now I can't stop... in the youtube zone :P

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh dear god. best find! (and now that I have internet capable of doing youtube I can't stop looking at it)

[rahirah]

I gotta say, the barn is pretty awesome.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I agree. It would cost me a ton in gas and wear and tear on the car though since it's over 50 miles away. Now if I taught half on line....
