Live Another Day....

[said_scarlett]

First off, many apologies to all who pinged me on Gchat last night. I was off bleaching some undershirts that had gotten mysteriously stained, and then vegged out on the couch for a while.

I'm over at my sister's. I'm feeling relatively sick today, and I don't know if it's just because I got so little sleep last night, or there's something that needs seeing to. My insomnia has returned with a vengeance, and I managed maybe a few hours last night.

I wanted to bring D the Halfblood Chronicles, but I'm lending out every single copy of the first book. (Except for my nice hardcover, but that stays on my shelf.) I still need to replace the third book, too. I figure it's high time she moved on to glittery elves. ;)

I was tempted to bring her some other Mercedes Lackey books - she's been warned - but really, I don't think she'd she enjoy the SERRAted Edge series - sure you've got sparkly elves, but they're sparkly racecar driving elves. A pity I can't find my copies of the Bardic Voices books, I think she'd like those.

My god, is there a classic rock band Dream Theater can't cover? I adore their Pink Floyd covers, but their Queen and their Zeppelin, their Genesis and their Kansas are just as amazing. And for bizarre, fannish reasons, them doing a cover of 'Carry On My Wayward Son' makes me extremely happy. (I know half my Flist associates this song with SPN, but for me, it will always be James' song.)

The kids are doing chores and I'm trying to kick my brain into gear. I have a ton of epic plots going on right now!

And I shall share another one of my little Henry observations: Henry is, arguably, one of the nicest, gentlest, sweet guys. And yet...he's most comfortable with one of the bloodiest, most violent melee weapons there is.

I wonder if I can make a plea for Burger King for lunch....

I'm sorry you're feeling sick. I hope you feel better soon.

Henry is, arguably, one of the nicest, gentlest, sweet guys. And yet...he's most comfortable with one of the bloodiest, most violent melee weapons there is.

I couldn't help feeling he was slowly getting used to what he had to do when he was playing the game, and used to using an axe to spill blood. I admit I may be reading into things.

Carry On My Wayward Son for James? Yes, yes.

I do! It seemed to be just my body protesting getting up so early!

I think he did, because you kind of have to in that situation, I just find it really interesting that the weapon that tends to be used the most (and in my canon is the one he's most comfortable with) is an axe. Just because it's one of the messiest, most brutal handheld weapons there are. Up there with maces. :D

After I played SH2, and I heard it...it just clicked for me. And that's all I can associate that song with now.

I agree, it is pretty ironic. I made a lot of use of that axe when I played the game, and they are... well "axe murderer" isn't a common scary phrase for nothing. (Not that Henry is a murderer...)

I know what you mean. For some reason that song out now called "The Love Remains the Same" makes me think of Heather and Douglas. I'm not even sure why, but when I hear it I think of how they could have this turbulent but loving relationship.

Yes because you know you want some cheesy tots.

I am going to pick up HBC at Borders next weekend. I have snazzy 30% off coupons.

I wanted tots and a chicken sammich, but alas, no burger king for me.

HURRAH! The first one in the series is The Elvenbane, by Mercedes Lackey and Andre Norton. Sparkly elves, incest, and lots of Badtouch for all! :D

Dream Theater sounds really amazing--what kind of music do they tend to turn their covers into? I need to check these people out.

I associate Carry On My Wayward Son with Yuki from Fruits Basket just because I saw an icon of him that had lyrics from it on there. XD;

Oh, I hope you feel better soon, and manage to get some sleep. *hugs*
