For Donnie Darko fans... [Apr. 16th, 2007|10:32 pm]
[Current Mood |weirdweird]
[Current Music |Liquid Spear Waltz--Michael Andrews (Donnie Darko Score)]

So I just downloaded the "Donnie Darko" double disk soundtrack and score. It's amazing, really. Then I went on the website www.donniedarkofilm.com for about an hour until I was a little too fearful to continue. I did, however, proceed to learn all I could about the Philosophy of Time Travel, The Manipulated Dead and Living, and anything else I could discover about "Donnie Darko". On the Cellar Door website you can read Roberta Sparrow's book. It's not very long and missing chapters but it's a fascinating concept even if it is fictitious. I now feel like I have a much better understanding of the movie at least. And this pointless research really has answered many questions I had after I watched the film. 

I have absolutely no idea why I just spent the last hour researching "Donnie Darko" but now I feel a little nervous but fascinated.

This song is "Brightside" by Turn Off The Stars. Im pretty sure it was in Beauty and the Geek but it's such a pretty song and i can't find it for downloading on limewire or online so here's a site where it's posted. Super sad. If any of you have it send it to me please?

[Current Music |Twilight--Elliot Smith]

  1. This weekend was too fucking emotional on too many different levels. im worn out but still up. making sense? nope.
  2. Screw this Elliot Smith song for fitting the situation too well. 08 Twilight.mp3 --Elliot Smith
  3. "Beauty and the Geek" marathon was on mtv so i watched like 5 episodes cuz id never seen the show before. it was actually a terrible show that was so addicting that i kind of really really enjoyed it. I'd marry Nate in a second if possible.
  4. Last week was actually great even though i thought it'd kill me.
  5. I wishing to god or some powerful being to strike me with any sort of plague imaginable because anything sounds better than dealing with school tomorrow. I just dont want to handle anything right now. I just cant.
  6. On a bit of an up note, hung with Pam and Rob a bit on Friday in their new apartment. It's nice to see a friend of mine being all independant and such. Made me happy.
  7. Screw it, I'm going to sleep.

Songs of the week. [Feb. 9th, 2007|06:53 pm]
[Current Location |home]
[Current Mood |sicksick of things]
[Current Music |Caresse sur l'océan--Les Choriste]

I've decided that in order to better share my music, I'm gonna post 2 or so songs once a week in this journal for your listening pleasure. They're not my favorite songs but they will be whatever song or songs i'm remotely in to that week. This week I have:

The Vincent Black Shadow - Metro.mp3 -- Randomly saw this video, really creeped out but the song is so catchy. Downloaded a few other songs by them and their kind of Evanescence-y or kind of like Tsunami Bomb. It's fun though.

02 - The Fratellis - Flathead.mp3 -- Yes, this the song from the new ipod commercial. The Fratellis are from Glasgow, I don't think they're that famous although they have a few EPs out. Another catchy tune.

01 Les Choristes - générique.mp3 -- From the movie Les Choriste, The Chorus. About bad french school boys inspired and changed by a music instructor. Its not as corny as it sounds and the music was great. This came out a while but I kept forgetting to download it. So good.

And that's all for this terrible week. I'm glad its over. Hopefully I'll get well physically and mentally soon. Enjoy!

Eh. [Jan. 25th, 2007|11:31 pm]
[Current Mood |pensive*swirling thoughts*]
[Current Music |Sea Legs--The Shins]

Firstly, "Sea Legs" is probably my favorite song off the new Shins album. It's very different than most of their other songs. The album is alright but it'll probably grow on my more in a bit.

Secondly, the last 7 days have been weird. Like they've been just a never-ending day that is making me feel strangely  and mildly upset. It's a bit inexplicable. At least I think i did mildly alright on my presentations.

[Current Music |Chicago (Adult cont.easy listening version)--Sufjan Stevens]

This break has been pretty amazing. Life is beautiful to me. I finally turned 18 which was actually a strange, but sad realization for me. I feel a little older, a little more hopeful for the upcoming year. 2007 may be amazing. I can see a strange glimmer of what this year holds. Prom. Graduation. College. I've been fearing the thought of leaving everything I know simultaneously aching to leave. It's a weird, surreal, mixed emotion. But now I seem to feel like I can almost embrace it. I do wish the break were a bit longer, I really haven't gotten enough sleep to last me. But I'm nearly done with all of my applications which is a little exciting and also making me a little anxious to figure out where I'll end up. Just some random thoughts. Meanwhile, how about that starting on break homework? Hm. Perhaps tomorrow. My mom has been treating me a little differently ever since my birthday. She's being less controlling, less worried, even a little more trusting. It's nice. I look back at 2006 and am a little bewhildered by everything that happened. It truly was a...crazy year. I can't even begin to delve in to it. Although my birthday held a few tinges of drama, it actually turned out nicely. Meanwhile, became obsessed with Marx Brothers again (Harpo is my love), and had a nice Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers with Becks (oh man, Fred Astaire, SO amazing). I think I'm off to bed. Hope you're all feeling wonderful.

And as this dark romance grows...for the starlight is so far away." [Dec. 20th, 2006|07:40 am]

[Current Music |Rose of the Devil's Garden--Tiger Army]

I had a series of dreamish-nightmares in which i worried constantly about Carton's paper and he was angry with me and I was upset. Basically, this paper has consumed my life to the point of every dream i have now is about it. wow. that's frightening. 

Also, in one of the dreams, Carton took us to some sort of Montecarlo pool as a reward for finishing the paper and I only remember me narrating a story of the event and that Ari Rokeach was in a speedo as red as ever. EW. 

Rufus Wainwright's "Hallelujah" playing on repeat actually helped me write a bit. Beautiful.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, im_a_jellybean sent to me...
Twelve records socializing
Eleven sharpies writing
Ten colors a-dancing
Nine bands breathing
Eight stripes a-reading
Seven cds a-talking
Six movies a-humming
Five cha-a-a-arcoal pencils
Four stella artois
Three emo lyrics
Two nose goes
...and a life in a death cab for cutie.
Get your own Twelve Days:

HAHA yay. blah, got most x-mas/hannakuh shopping done today. God why is the holiday season SO FRIGGIN' EXPENSIVE? Gar. Had a....kinda weird day. Kinda up and down. Or more so was a little low a lot of the time. oh well. only 3 days left this week. so it's kinda like today is tuesday. although if that were so i'd be excited because i could watch House (even if it is a re-run). lol. Most amazing show on the planet. my favoritest thing ever. i got some click-it sharpies today though. they're AMAZING. love them so. should be writing this paper though. ahhh distractions. Don't you hate it when certain guys act like teenage girls saying things like, "I dunno how I'm feeling...". Gr gr gr gr so frustrating.

"..music is made for love..." [Dec. 13th, 2006|10:14 pm]
[Current Location |home-ish]
[Current Mood |tiredtired]
[Current Music |What's This?--Fall Out Boy]

Found out last week that when Nightmare Before Christmas 3-D came out, they re-released the soundtrack with a secondary disk. I think these were the two better ones for your downloading pleasure.



Fiona Apple - Sally's Song.mp3  Fiona Apple's cover of "Sally's Song"

Marilyn Manson - This Is Halloween.mp3  -- Marilyn Manson's cover of "This Is Halloween"

Fall Out Boy - What's This.mp3  I don't like Fall Out Boy but the vocals are pretty entertaining

I actually really like the Fiona Apple cover so much. It's sorrowful.
