A Safe Space for Moogles

Limp by Fiona Apple has a piano bit during the verses that sounds a lot like the unsettling music you hear when you're in the Shinra Tower. Just five notes, minor key (I think).

That's all. Carry on.

"Shawn," I called plaintively, "help?"

My favorite professor came running to my aid - and winced when she saw the state of my monitor. "Ooh," she said, "that's not good. That's a kernel panic."

That wasn't reassuring at all, but even as I resorted to a hard reboot, my Zen reaches into its memory and pulls out Eric Idle. "Always look on the bright side of life..."

So I went and got some animal crackers. Nom nom nom.

(I didn't lose any data, so don't panic.)

I've decided that this is my theme song for the next few months.

...When I'm not indulging my inner angsty Roddy, anyway.

Today in class we were introduced to GarageBand, and and and I made musics! Look, look! :D

First song: about 2 minutes, sort of techno-piano-ish.

Second song: about 3 minutes, far-east themed and heavy on the percussion.

Now I remember why I'm doing all this. The chance to be creative and make shinies.

This afternoon I dreamed that I was a pregnant Aeris, running around trying to avoid capture by Shinra (in a real-world suburb, if a rather run-down one - definitely not Midgar). They found me anyway, but Cloud and Sephiroth were there to help me, and we tricked our captors and scamperfoomed for the living of a life on the lam.

Also, I heard "Doctor Feelgood" and "Doctor Love" on the radio today, both of which put me in mind of Ratchet in an amorous mood.

My subconscious and my stereomancy are just going to have to battle for supremacy, is all.

"The Death of Optimus Prime" by They Might Be Giants never fails to make me cry. And get ridiculous images of Autobots singing sadly around a bonfire. And then I cry some more, because dammit they all miss him that much.

Winamp insists on playing that song for me every single day for two weeks straight. This is not conducive to my mental state.

ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM TRYING TO WRITE PORN.

Zen player update: still dead. Am still an idiot. Sending off my DS tomorrow to be repaired. Am still an idiot. Wasn't feeling well today, so stayed home from the shelter; will go a couple times during the upcoming break to make up for it. Feeling the lack of fuzzies right now. Am still a fucking idiot.

Had a fun weekend, but because fun weekends usually lead to floppy moogles, I'll leave the report 'til tomorrow and hope you'll be content with a linkdump.

So beckyh2112 showed me this, which is basically an index for a Japanese fanart site. Because I couldn't find any comprehensive image list links, I took it upon myself to look through every single image in search of the ones y'all might be interested. That's right, my dear flist: I looked at scary Japanese porn so you didn't have to. Well, unless you want. ;P

Divided into links for Transformers, FF7, Kingdom Hearts, and a few random ones I didn't recognize but thought were cool. The rest were all characters I didn't recognize. WARNING: a good handful of these are not worksafe. The bad ones are marked with a **; click at your own risk.

( Transformers )

( Final Fantasy 7 )

Also, FF7 fan remixes from our friends at OverClocked ReMix! Absolutely gorgeous. *pokes BitTorrent to download faster, dammit*

In other news, I finally got my hands on the last issue of Megatron: Origins. I... think I need to switch factions now, excuse me... *wobbles, swoons, thuds and worships*
