the state of me:
- Not leaving LJ.
- Drinking coffee.
- Managing through supreme force of will not to devour all of the cookies I made last night while watching Perfume with my mother (good! really good! I was a bit dubious as to whether they'd be able to pull it off without the climax(es) being utterly ridiculous, but I should have trusted Tom Tykwer).
- Prodding wildly at a pinch hit fic that I volunteered to write in a fit of rash generosity. Hahaha. Actually, I do work better with deadlines, and this is the craziest deadline I have yet subjected myself to, so I may even finish it tonight.
- Listening to classical music turned up as loudly as I dare, thanks to Nny linking this SGA orchestra AU, which was like a kick in the figurative gut. Sometimes - not often, but sometimes - I really wish I still played euph in bands (even though I hated the euph) or that I dared pick up another instrument (even though it would be years before I'd be good enough for an ensemble). But I have choir, and I'm constantly startled by how good my choral singing has gotten over the past few years, so...I can tolerate the occasional bout of wild longing for another musical skill.
If I were Sylar, I would eat Richard Tognetti's brain. And then Tommy Emmanuel's. I'm just saying.

It makes me feel like I'm in a period piece.

Did you download any of the music I put up? The last track on the list I wanted you to hear, although I forget why it made me think of you.
And... *restrained flail of incredible joy @ String Theory*
