baka_duo_neko requested this, and since I haven't posted a music download since, say, February... *shrug* Here you go!


Title: Tomokazu Seki: Welcome to My Romance
Album: (I have no idea. Gravitation?)
Comments: Horrible Engrish? Pseudo-sexy lyrics? An attempt at rap? What's not to love? Plus, Tomokazu Seki is awesome. I actually like his music better than Inoue Kazuhiko's, and considering that I am so an Inoue fangirl, that's something special. ^_~

The Song

pereppi's sister-in-law is birthing (I think I got that right), so domacatrix and I were left to our own devices tonight. We went malling, and I wound up with two new DVDs (for the price of one). Joan found herself some shoes, and we had an interesting time trying to enhance our wardrobes. We fail at enhancements, even though she Looks Good In Everything.

kloos411 adopted a kitten named SabrinaHobbes. He's adorable~! Or his pictures make him look adorable, at least. And that's something.

I was hit on at the gas station. It was pretty hilarious.

Title: Celebration
Artist: Kool & the Gang
Album: Celebrate!
Day: Thirty!
Why? If you guys can't figure this one out, then you don't deserve the song. November is finally over! NaNoWriMo is done! Yay~!

lain_chan16 requested this one, so here's an extra song for everyone who doesn't already have it. ^.^

Title: Please God
Artist: Ana Voog
Album: Ana Voog
Comments: This song is uber-dirty. Love it or leave it; I don't care.

The answers to yesterday's meme have been posted, and comments are now unscreened. Go see how you did!



Song Title: Words That We Couldn't Say
Artist: Yoko Kanno
Album: Blue
Day: Twenty-seven
Why? There are always words we just can't put into writing. This song is for them.

Song Title: Chocolate
Artist: Snow Patrol
Album: Final Straw
Day: Twenty-eight
Why? This is either because you should worship your novel like chocolate, or because you should bribe yourself with chocolate. Or because I like the song. *cough* Guess which it is?

Title: Upward Over the Mountain
Artist: Iron & Wine
Album: The Creek Drank the Cradle
Day: Twenty-four
Why? Um. I don't actually feel like explaining anything. ^^ Sorry.

Today I've been a bum. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving (for my family). That'll be fun.

This evening, while I was coming down in the elevator to leave work and go to my car, I had a thought. Um. Well, first, read this thread in domacatrix's journal, since that will pre-empt what I say next. After the thread, Joan IMed me, and I couldn't help myself:

Me: Snakes on an Elevaaaaator.
Joan: Yessssss
Me: Creeeeeeepy.
Me: That's what occurred to me while I was taking the elevator downstairs today BY MYSELF and it started creaking and making funny noises. My brain went "...snakes could totally come through the ventilation holes". My next thought was "...holy shit. If that happened, I'd probably piss myself." My third thought was something like "...I wonder if that would make the snakes go away?"
Me: And then the doors opened and everything was okay.
Joan: lol

That's... in case any of you wanted to know what I think about when I'm by myself on elevators. *facepalm* It could be worse. Yesterday I took the elevator up by myself and my brain went "...dude. The back of this elevator opens." And then my brain went "...this is like something out of a bad horror movie." And then I spent the rest of the elevator ride (and my morning) wondering how I could die in an elevator. Oddly enough, snakes didn't even occur to me at that point.

I have a to-do list, and I'm not sharing it with you. Nyuhnyuh.



Title: Defying Gravity
Artist: Wicked
Album: Wicked
Day: Twenty-one
Why? This song makes me think of Joan. Partially because she made it her theme song last year, yes, and partially because I just begged her to email it to me (my brother has stolen my CD), and partially because it's a very Joan song. Um. So why put it up for a NaNo download? That should be obvious. Dude. If we can defy gravity, of course we can hit 50,000 words by the end of the month. Piece of cake.

So! I turned my internet off so I could get some NaNoWriMo-ing done today. And what did I do instead of write? I changed the oil in my car. It was productive, yes, but the wrong sort of productivity than what I need. ^^ Still, I did catch up a little on NaNo. Sort of. Now I'm only five thousand words behind instead of nine thousand. Woo!



Title: Schadenfreude
Artist: Avenue Q
Album: Avenue Q
Day: Nineteen
Why? I give you all permission to feel better about yourselves based on my inability to work on my NaNoWriMo novel and/or my inability to stay away from the internet for more than a few hours at a time. Okay? So. Go. *heart* Schadenfreude the night away.

edit:



Whahahahahahahaha. >D I'm catching up! Slowly, but I'm catching up! It's such a good feeling~!

Title: Focus on the Positives
Artist: Truth
Album: -
Day: Sixteen
Why? Tobacco = writer's vice. Um. Not in my world, but whatever. So! I don't know about you, but I'm over 5,000 words behind. Focusing on the positives is definitely my goal for the rest of tonight -- and perhaps the rest of the month. o_O Also, this song is funny. Download it. ^_^ *heart*

na_no_da_ rocks my socks. *horribly amused* A few weeks ago, I wrote her a letter in which I sort of rambled on about nothing, and at some point I decided I wanted a button or a pin that read "I write porn in public places", since I was, uh, writing smut at work. I also said something about how I could never wear it, really, although I would probably wear it to cons and to coffee shops so no one would bother me. Today she got online and told me the following:

Midnight: Oh I got you a present
Midnight: Oh oh I wanna hint what I got you!
Me: Sure?
Midnight: you can wear it to cons...
Midnight: and at coffee shops, no one will annoy you
Midnight: cause you have this
Me: XD Ohgod. XDDD
Midnight: Oh yes
Me: I take it you got my letter, then. XD
Midnight: yes.

Enough said. Now I'm trying to figure out how I can smuggle the button into work without getting a few choice, arched eyebrows. Oooh, that'll be fun.

Spreckin' of which, I started my new job today over at Wolters Kluwer. Um. Today was pretty much spent getting to know people (I fail at that), cleaning up the mess left behind by the previous person (which wasn't so bad; she just left a big pile of papers on the floor, which I haven't gotten to yet, and paperclips all over the place), and trying to figure out all the silly orientation stuff. Also, by getting the Best Coffee In The Building (there's a special room downstairs with the "Good Coffee", which one of my two bosses spent fifteen minutes pointing out to me before she showed me how to use the machine. So much love).

I'm in way over my head, job-wise, but I think I'll manage after a little while. ^^ Hopefully everything will work out and I'll be a happy chica, yes? Yes.

That being said, it's time for today's music download!



Title: Sooner Or Later
Artist: Fastball
Album: All The Pain Money Can Buy
Day: Thirteen
Why? This song speaks the truth. Sooner or later, we will push it through. We will make the novels see who's in charge. There will be winnage. Hopefully, it'll be sooner rather than later, but who are we to be picky?

Title: Open Up Your Mind
Artist: -
Album: Saiyuki
Day: Ten
Why? My mind could use some opening. How about yours?

Posting music downloads every day feels pretty weird. ^^ Is it just me?

Today was my last day of work at the spice company. On Monday, I start my new position with the publishing place, and I have to admit... I'm pretty nervous about it. Um. I'll be fine, though. Right? I hope so.

Title: You're the Only One
Artist: Maria Mena
Album: White Turns Blue
Day: Eight
Why? At this point, we should all be completely devoted to our novels. It's the start of week two, and we have all come to terms with the time and energy our succubus-like projects are stealing from us. It is the only thing we can love at this point. And oh, that's a lie.

...a better song for that description would probably be "You Were Always On My Mind". But that's too melancholy, and I can't find the CD on which I have the song.
