Aspirational lyrics

Sat, 09 Nov 2024 22:33:00 GMT

This past few days I've been listening to The Who in the car, and keep coming back to this line:

Like broken glass, we damage
even in defeat

I think that's going to be my 2025-2029 motto. As we enter a season of dangerous and corrupt authorities in various places, many of them backed by a vocal percentage of the populace, let's do as much damage as we can, as often as we can, to every injustice and every goal they have.

Some incredible anonymous author has rewritten Toto's "Africa" as a sonnet!

My sonnet-loving self is incredibly happy about this. ♥

Please enjoy. :D

songs on the brain lately

Sat, 23 Nov 2013 03:32:06 GMT

Dug out my music and started building some playlists for the car, which I've been putting off due to the complexity involved. (True facts: I am right now using THREE computers. I took pictures.)

Once I finished burning a couple of driving CDs, though, I started poking around through all the stuff I was glad to see but that didn't end up on a disc. So much music! So long since I last heard any of it! I'd forgotten some of ~~feelings~~ attached to certain songs that I used to mainline (thank you, O Repeat button!) when in the throes of writing inspiration. (Not my standard method, but I've still used it more than once.)

Sadly, in case anyone was wondering why I've been so silent: I have written possibly 100 words in the last month or more; I'm going to spend my next day off transferring some music to my laptop, in an attempt to spur me back onto the creative track!

Can't hurt. Even if all I get out of it is a tendency to sing songs nobody recognises under my breath at work.

( TL;DR End result: Earworm Attack. )
