listening to your album, watching your favourite movie

[ink_splotch]

Clearly I was accidentally POSESSED BY SOMETHING, or my mind seems to believe I'll be more inclined to revise with shiny new music to listen to. Or I just can't deal with the instant gratification of buying stuff on iTunes. No matter what, I just bought five cds.

I feel so ashamed. But, on the bright side, Mark Owen is a surprisingly good musician. Or maybe it's just that his voice is so lovely I don't actually care what he's singing.

Uhm. That might not be a good thing.

ANYWAY. Also, I feel the need to point out that Alphabeat are awesome and lovely and summery, and thus buying that CD is totally justifiable. And iTunes is like, crazy cheap. Which is why I keep going back to Apple, like the glutton for punishment I am.

I am blaming all this on hormones. And Gemma leaving. Thank god for seeing Sofie tomorrow, or I'd probably go a little around the bend.

Though I totally need to do a SummerMix or something. There's just so much happy-making summer music out right now, like Mika's Grace Kelly, or the afformentioned Alphabeats. Ee! Uhm, though, of course, I'll be doing revision mostly. No, really. I still need to read about 80 pages og history and re-read The Tempest, Titus Andronicus and Antony and Cleopatra. Which reminds me: poisoninjest has a celebratory Shakespeare post up with assorted quotes. You should go read!

In slightly saner news: Fanmark: The Hallmark of Fandom. Literally *made* from awesome. I'm particularly fond of So Long, and Thanks for all the Fic and A Bundle Of Joy: So You've Got A New Fandom. Oh fandom. Don't ever change. *hugs like mad*

...there's something wrong with buying CDs? D: I love buying CDs, specially if it's an artist I'm not entirely sure I know. The excitment of going home and listen to the CD and findinf out how many of the songs I actually like.

Me too! Except I really shouldn't be using money. Heh. Oh, well. The CDs are (mostly) really, really good, so I think it was a perfectly fair thing to do. *nods*

Heee. Oh, darling, you are such a media geek and I love you for it.

I MISS YOU AND WANT TO SEE YOU RIGHT NOW WAH!

... *was taken over by inner 8-year-old*

(Um, don't mind my voice when we meet up tomorrow. I might have accidentally totally not on purpose gotten laryngitis. THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING.)

Fanmark is the coolest thing EVER!

I am a media *slut* and I'm not sure it's a good thing. particularly when no university wants to let me do a masters in Cultural Studies, because they are all made from evil. *pouts*

I'VE MISSED YOU TOO AND YESTERDAY WAS MADE FROM AWESOME AND WE SHOULD DO IT AGAIN, POSSIBLY NOW. Also, I'm still calling you tomorrow. Mwah. Ha. Ha.

Fanmark is totally made from win.

Have some dimples!

Oh, you poor thing. *grins happily* Then you'll just have to make do with Shakespeare and the difference between anti-Semitism and anti-Judaism. Such fun!

TOMORROW, DARLING, TOMORROW!

DIMPLES!

May I enquire as to which cds you bought? :-)

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Of course!
Natasha Bedingfield, Unwritten
Alphabeat, Alphabeat
Mika, In Cartoon Motion
(my love for the above two albums is great. So, so good, particularly Mika, thought Alphabeat makes me happy!)
Mark Owen, Green Man (He. Uh. Nice voice?)
Mark Owen, In Your Own Time (Which is actually a really good album, and has Gravity, which is possibly the prettiest love song ever. Also Baby I'm No Good, which has pretty, pretty piano. I approve.)

I may have gone *slightly* insane.

Slightly?
