Ummmmm well. Done with most my schoolwork, so I'm going to start writing more - yay! Really excited about that. I've been reading a lot, as has been the case for the last month or two, and I'm just really looking forward to the summer... especially VIVA LA VIDA (or Death and All His Friends). Not in love with Violet Hill, although it's fun to sing along to, but Viva la Vida (the song) is one of my new favorites and from what I've heard of Lovers in Japan, it's a good mix of Parachutes and U2.

Anywho, no idea when I'll work on Tommy, but hopefully soon. Still trying to finish that Evo fic, but the going's slow on that one. I went to a Radiohead concert recently, and it was worht every penny. Thom Yorke is a crazy bastard, but it was awesome - the crowd was psyched, they had to come out for two encores. Radiohead = teh awsum.

No real exciting plans for any time soon. Hopefully I'll be able to make it down to my friend's lakehouse, and I'm excited to spend time in Boston (especially) and then New York in early July, and spending a few days in Austin later that month should be fun.

So. Gotten new inspiration from watching an episode of Evo last night on Veoh (they took a lot of the episodes off!), so I should go write.

(Viva la vida!)

Because I'm bored, I think this song is absolutely amazing, and I really want this CD to be released already.

I've been feeling a bit different lately. I think the proper word would be "relaxed", but I'm not sure if that would be accurate. It's more... just a general laid-backness. I've been getting frustrated a lot about everything, but now I think it's just kind of... who cares? Dunno.

Been listening to the Radiohead song Idioteque a ton lately (that's where the lyrics in the subject come from), along with In the Sun (I'm tempted to get the Joseph Arthur version). Pretty much I've been listening to all of Kid A, which I've decided is a masterpiece. Not generic rock, but that's why I love it. The thing about Radiohead is just that they're so out there. Their music, their lyrics... Idioteque is rock mixed with electronic music, and the lyrics slightly resemble a wartime attitude, although they still are just so vague and distant that it could be anything. Dunno. But I love Thom Yorke's voice. Just as I love Chris Martin's voice.

Now listening to the Radiohead song How to Disappear Completely. Very distant lyrics, very experimental music: "In a little while / I'll be gone / The moment's already passed / Yeah it's gone / And I'm not here / This isn't happening / I'm not here / I'm not here." I dunno. It's just great music to listen to and just think.

I really don't talk much about myself in this thing, do I? Usually it's writing or something fandom-related. Hm. Interesting. I guess there's just not much to tell about myself. I don't really feel like I'm hiding anything. *shrugs*

Dunno. I think it's time to listen to more Radiohead.
