I haven't been posting much of anything here lately. I doubt that it's just because I've been busy with school.
.... *stares at Plurk*
THAT REMINDS ME. IF ANYONE IS WILLING TO JOIN ME OVER ATthe darkside PLURK, USE THIS LINK TO SIGN UP. YOU WILL MAKE ME TOTEMO HAPPY DESU.
*coughs*
Right. Anyway, an eventful weekend was eventful! Friday was a pretty "light" day for me (Library Orientations for both my En11 classes + a short and sweet lecture for my Lit 13 class), so I still had some energy left over to handle Kritika Kultura's late afternoon meeting. I now have a better idea of exactly what I signed up for, and I'm not sure whether I'm going to like it, but I do know that it'll be good for me in the long run. :<
Friday evening traffic totally fucked my mood over and sapped up my energy, but it was lovely seeing![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yukitsu, kye_kestrel, khursten and Sarah! We ate dinner and spazzed on random stuff before Sarah, Khursten, Yukeh and I went off to watch Wanted. Lynffles didn't join us because she had already watched it and she wanted to go home in order to put in more Plurking tiem.
There are no words to describe that movie's awesomeness. o_o
Got home real late and Plurked a bit more (SEE HOW IT IS TAKING OVER MY LIFE?), but that's okay because my Lit 251 class was going to be a free cut anyway. Slept in, Plurked even more, then zipped off to ADMU to attend my second class. All the readings I'm taking up are giving me a much wider vision of what graduate studies are like and what just how expansive the literary world really is. It's some kind of majorly cool.
Met up with Yukeh after class, and we headed over to Gateway to meet up withinnocentlyjaded, lonelybusiness, dreamlesssness (YES, FINALLY!), and... *drumroll* team7, who was totally eaten up by her job and stuff and IT'S JUST AMAZING TO SEE HER AGAIN, Y'KNOW? Read or Die things were discussed, game plans were drawn up, and spazzing was accomplished. Dinner was great -- I just wish I could've enjoyed it more. Heat + not really eating decently the whole day took its toll on me, so I kinda sicked up sometime before I had to head home. Sorry about that, guys. ~_~
Will be going to Mass in a bit. I'm willing to waste most of this day away because there won't be classes for us profs tomorrow -- it's ACP day, so all the college kids have some required thing or another to attend to make them Jesuits happy. I'm supposed to join Kristel and Yukeh for RoD business, but I'm not sure whether I can charter a ride.
I haven't posted music in a while, so here's a new mix to celebrate my first LJ post in nearly a week.
Techno meets Science Fiction: The Mix that Every Veritech Pilot Needs in His Bird
Let me explain the logic of this mix. These are the songs for the space cowboys and the fly boys, and the music that I think every pilot needs to listen whether they're piloting a living jet whose totally in love with them, or if they're bungling around in mobile suits, or if they're shooting down alien scum.
Sheryl Nome - Iteza Gogo Kyuji Don't be late
This is Sheryl Nome's first song, and what I think is the iconic image song of MACROSS FRONTIER... it's the track that played during the pilot episode of the series' release.
Pendulum - Streamline
Pendulum's one of those Drum & Bass bands that always hooks me with any of their tracks. My favorite song by them is "Hold Your Colour", but this one is extremely appropriate, given the theme of this mix.
Ace Combat 5 ~The Unsung War (Arcade Version) - Elemental Particle #2
Because no mix for pilots is complete without a slice off the soundtrack of a game totally devoted to pilots.
Afro Celt System - Riding the Waves
I used to think of ninja and night raids when I listened to this one before (SHUT UP I'M WEIRD OKEY), but then I started watching mech animu again. o_O
BT - Never Gonna Come Back Down
A life without wings and an endless sky isn't a life worth living at all for flyboys.
Evangelion REFRAIN - Kokoro no Genshi ni Modore (sublimation mix)
Most of the people on my flist are probably familiar with the original mix of this song, but I like this one just as much as that one. If you enjoyed the original, try this one out for a change.
Hiroshi Watanabe aka Quadra - GET IT BY YOUR HANDS
Here's something off the original soundtracks for EUREKA SEVEN. This is the theme song of a husband and wife dynamic duo who tried to live their lives as freely (and as detached from their past with the military) as possible without giving up their love for the sky.
Hora - Synthetic Anthem
I'm... lazy to write up an explanation for this one. Just poke it if you're willing to try your luck. X3
Hybrid - Blackout (Y4K mix)
I got this off an FST for SENTOU YOUSEI YUKIKAZE, and I'm sharing the love with the lot of you. It's prolly one of the best tracks in this set.
Iwasaki Tarou - The Blue Monday e'r'ectrical parade
Mandatory shot in the dark from TENGEN TOPPA GURREN-LAGGAN.
Ko Kimura - I've got it (eureka New School acid mix)
And another cut from EUREKA SEVEN. I think this was the song that really sold me on the series. Can you imagine hearing this while you're watching surfboarding mix vandalize a military airbase? @_@
Linkin Park - What I've Done
Because every flyboy meets his moment of revelation, and almost every one of them chooses to go on in spite of it all.
Max Graham feat. Jessica Riddle - I Know You're Gone
This is a track that embodies veritech/mech pilot romance, in my humble opinion. It's also one of the best ones in the set, so make sure to grab it.
Tori Amos - Take to the sky (live)
...Not a techno track at all, but I'll let the title speak for itself.
Links to previous mixes:
Love Songs Mix: The Last Love Songs on Earth (Set One) || Set Two [MASSIVE DUMP]
Special Mix: Sadface Songs - The Polite Version (Set One) || Set Two || Set Three
Battle Songs Mix: State of Emergency (Set One). || Set Two
Btw, if you guys want me to start posting just the music without blurbs or if you're okay with me posting 2-3 mixes at once, let me know.
I will devote another post to my epiphany on Hibari Kyouya of KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN! fame. >_>;
