Sluggish Brain WINS

It's only a couple minutes after my discovery of the name of the song and band that has eluded me for months, but man I'm happy! This one song has been lyric-less, rhythm-less and nameless for way too long. The last time I remember listening to it was on the way up to Grandma's who knows how long ago and I couldn't get it out of my head. But now I remember it! And I'm so happy!

I really began pondering over this last night. I struggled to recall the lyrics and the band, but nothing came to me. I tried again today, though it was mostly through lunch that music really began bothering me. While I was trying to think of this song Josie came and announced that there was a song stuck in her head as well, and all she knew was the rhythm of "do do do." I knew the song, I knew I knew, but I couldn't think of what it was. So both my song and Josie's song have been haunting me all day.

Once I came home from school, I opened up my laptop and almost immediately found Josie's song. Well, that was cool. Went on Facebook in the first time in a long time again and posted the name of the song and band on her profile. Hopefully she'll understand what it means. Funny thing is, though, is that I have Semi-Charmed Life in my music library on my laptop. But for the life of me I could not figure out what it was.

Then I took care of the rabbits, went for a little walk and talk exclaiming how things are on the tip of my tongue but just out of reach--and not just music-wise. So then I came back inside, watched Lilo and Stitch with Ben for a bit and then renewed my search for my song. I remember hearing it on 96.3 most of the time, and since they have a history of all the songs they've played, I scanned through that again. I did so last night as well. I don't know how it caught my attention, but I found the song.

And that song will be my song of the day fo' shure!

This song currently makes me very happy. *squee!*

Okay--you know how hard it is to role play a character that cannot talk? Especially one who is ignorant to the fact that you can keep your mouth closed. And it's not even paragraph-based, but an actual in-character chat RP, so it totally restricts when I can write. Surprisingly, though, most of my points were grasped by those who I was role playing with. But it's not fun playing a mute character. It's just too hard! Amusing, but frustrating!

Riiight ... a little random. But you know what? There's not much I have to say! This weekend's gonna suck because I have all of my Forensics speech to pull together, not to mention my visual aides. I don't know how I'm going to do it. But, you know, procrastinators are often optimistic people. Let's hope I can stick to my motto, yes?

Got my movies back from Katie today. Last weekend I had a geek-out at her house with her, her step-sister, Alyssa and Stephanie. Stephanie wasn't happy, but while I was there we watched a couple movies, played an X-Men video game ... and it was fun. ^^ And now I can finish watching all of my X-Men movies again. And figure out how to get my hands on the Daredevil movie, the Elektra movie and I thought there was something else ... is there another Fantastic Four movie? Hmm. I'll look into it.

Bah. I was going to say something else, I'm sure of it. OH! Right. Excalibur.

So I've reached a point in the X-Men comics (about late 1994, a little bit before my birthday) where there's a huge cross-over involving all of the X-Men-ish groups, Excalibur included. Unfortunately, I'm only in late 80's with the Excalibur comics, right where they started. I've been reading them, happily so, at that. I mean, I can't believe how much I missed Nightcrawler. Gambit's awesome, yes, but so is Kurt. And Kitty. Meggan's not bad herself. I couldn't care much for Captain Britain or Phoenix, but at least Rachel's better than her mom.

Anyway, the quality of the comics I have sucks. Half of the time I can't read what the characters are saying or what the narration is trying to tell me. I had to pretty much skip over half of one comic because it was unreadable. I got the gist of what was going on, but it was still annoying. And as of thus far, it's not getting any better. I sure the heck hope so because I like Excalibur. I just don't want to kill my eyes while reading the comics!

Well, that's about all. I'm getting back into the habit of writing journals ... again, which is good. But I just don't know what to write sometimes. I'm thinking of re-writing Zodiac Tribes from scratch again. While my ideas evolve, I realize I really can't go with the format I had written. Maybe I'll have a NaNoWriMo of my own ... except it won't be nationalized. Write 50k words or something in one month. Or write about 2k words a day. That was one of my goals once. I also want to print out Ninja Woods correctly and see if I can find a place that will publish my novelette. And I still have to finish painting my Nightcrawler painting. I finished his head a couple days ago and I'm beginning to realize just out of proportion he is. This irks me so much ... on paper he looks fine. I used the same dimensions, using the transfer squares and everything and he looks the worst on canvas. Looks the worst? Jeez ... I really do need to work on my journal grammar. But eh. I'm not going to completely redo it. Just gotta finish the background and the butterflies and then I can ... do something with the painting. Right now he's stalking around my bedroom, going wherever I can put the canvas at the time.

I be done now. ^^
