This is a post that I literally waited MONTHS to make. :|

Sometime last year I stumbled upon a 2003 off-Broadway musical called Zanna, Don't! A Musical Fairy Tale ("a gay-is-good musical that crusades for heterosexual's right to love each other"). Jai Rodriguez (from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) is Zanna, Heartsville High's very own magical matchmaker in a world where homosexuals are the norm, and heterosexuals are subject to heterophobia (Also a world where chess champions, not football quarterbacks, are considered sex symbols.) where, naturally, problems happen when a boy and a girl end up falling in love.

Naturally, I went out and bought the CD, and I thought I'd share it with the flist, as I'm sure most of you would enjoy this, whether you're single or taken. :D

Here's the list of songs, but the cut following it details the plot (as taken from the CD summary) in case you wanted to understand everything that was going on. (Asterisked songs are highly recommended.)

( Spoilers and summary here )

Current Music: Zanna, Don't! - Do You Know What It's Like?

~~Wuh. Why is my teh_music post not posted yet? I know I put it up before the last batch of posts, woe. :\~~ It's up, hurrah!

They cancelled classes today, and of course I'm pleased, because it means a few extra days to read up on the Insurance Code and do exercises in Finance (which I keep typing as Finacne, wtf :|) -- and

jaig! You don't have to submit your research paper just yet, do you? :D -- but I'll be damned if I can ever be productive sitting at home. :\

Am going to this cafe place that my friend found, though, which is near our house and is relatively cheap for spending a dozen hours studying. Hopefully I can, with a burst of channeled energy, finish everything I need done for Marketing next week. Or something. Hurrah.

Watched Aeon Flux yesterday with my brother instead of Memoirs of a Geisha because we came too late and didn't want to see Memoirs halfway through, even though plenty have told us that Aeon Flux was a disappointment.

It was.

Plenty of my friends, because of Valentine's Day, I'm certain, have been all with the wallow lately. (Much love to all, by the way, and yes, this IS a late post on Valentine's. Ish. Don't you know, lateness is my trademark. Wouldn't be me if I wasn't late, and everything.) So, hm. If anyone's in the mood, here's a couple of different media. :|

Wallowing Resource Material:

For Wallowing - the playlist, which isn't much and is probably horribly outdated. I don't know the songs I own, but yes. Request away. :| I'll likely have time over the weekend to upload them for you.
A Story of Love - the story, by Ray Bradbury. Randomly posted, because my friend told me about it and I looked it up and wuh. Pretty cool.
The Art of Losing - the poem, by Elizabeth Bishop, which I remembered from first year readings and tried looking up, because I kept wanting to show it to my friend. (Yes, dolts, I'm not making her up. :| Incidentally, she was the one who referred me to the poem I posted a couple of entries back.)
DVDs - so I can't link to any of them, sadly, and neither can I offer them up for sending to random people, but no wallowing is good wallowing without ice cream, tissue, and these movies: Love Actually, Closer, Brokeback Mountain (Duh. :P), Love Story (which I've never actually seen, but you know. :P), and you know what? Try Little Manhattan on for size too.
Wallow Food - According to Barbara Novak, chocolate's a good substitute as any for a man, and this, Willy Wonka says, is because chocolate releases endorphins, which give people the feeling of being in love. If you've no chocolate, there's always ice cream, Oreos, chips, butter-caramel popcorn, pizza, etcetera. :P

Yes, I think that's about it for today. ♥

Current Mood: sleepy
Current Music: For What It's Worth - The Cardigans

Hello, friends, I bring you tidings of South Park episodes, four of the last few episodes that I've seen. And I've been watching South Park a whole lot--far too much than is probably healthy, but that's okay, because South Park is brain!mush love. I love Cartman. It isn't conformist to like him, he's awesome, goddammit. And the animosity with Kyle! *dies*

These two are SO adorable. :P

ANYWAY. Here are your episodes, they're about 36.6 mb each, and are .rm files.

711: Casa Bonita - Cartman will do anything to go to Casa Bonita.
CARTMAN: *singing and dancing* Casa Bonita! Casa Bonita! Cha cha cha cha cha!
KYLE: Who said I was inviting you?

714: Raisins - Stan turns into a hot goth. :P
KYLE: What the hell do you think you're doing?
STAN: *drinking coffee* Breathing deep the darkness that envelopes my soul.

801: Good Times With Weapons - Kids get carried away with play-acting.
KYLE: I'll use my special power to see the future to find our way.
CARTMAN: Hey guys, I have another special power. I can see the future too, only better than Kyle.

807: The Jeffersons - Michael Jackson moves to town, but the BEST part is, we see Kenny parka-less, and he talks! :|
KENNY: You owe me for this.
STAN: Dude, whatever, at least you get to do something.

Current Mood: hyper
Current Music: South Park 807: The Jeffersons

Uploaded two songs for the flist. :P Obviously everyone's heard of Rent. :P

( For the old year, Seasons of Love. Self-Preservation for the new year. )

Current Mood: giggly
Current Music: Absolutely (Story of a Girl) - Nine Days

So there've been mentions of Avenue Q on my flist and I had NO idea what it was but one bored day on Limewire and I found music. :| Since I uploaded all these for

miss_charmed, I figured I'd upload them for you.

I swear, it doesn't really even matter if you don't get the story, sort of. LOL. I just love musical music. :P

(For the curious, Avenue Q's made up of muppet-type characters. The musical's mostly a parody of Sesame Street, or something. I'm sure some of you would be more familiar with this than I am, lol.

What Do You Do With a BA in English / It Sucks to Be Me
Track 2/3 of the CD, in which our characters compare the relative misery of their lives with each other.
I come into this country
For opportunities
Try to work in Korean delis
But I am Japanese!
If You Were Gay
What I can only imagine to be the equivalent of Bert talks about how it's perfectly fine if his roommate, Ernie-equivalent (Ernie's the yellow kid, right? :| I always mix them up), were gay.
If you were queer
I'd still be here
Year after year
Because you're dear to me
And I know that you
Would accept me too
If I told you today
"Hey guess what! I'm gay!"
(But I'm not gay)
Everyone's a Little Bit Racist
Actually pretty smart. Everyone IS a little bit racist. Cool song.
Everyone's a little bit racist sometimes
Doesn't mean we go around committing hate crimes
Look around and you'll find
No one's really color blind
Maybe it's a fact we all should face
Everyone makes judgments... based on race
The Internet is for Porn
Haha, it's just silly. And true. :P
The internet is really really great
..For Porn!
I've got a fast connection so I don't have to wait
..For Porn!
Fantasies Come True
Oh, I love this. It's so wistful and cute and then maybe also a little sad. Awwww.
But I never thought
The things in my head
Could really happen
In my bed
My Girlfriend (Who Lives in Canada)
Denial song if there ever was one, hah.
So soon I'll be off to Alberta--
I mean Vancouver!
Shit her name is Alberta
she lives in Vancouver
SHE'S MY GIRLFRIIIIEEEEND
There's a Fine, Fine Line
I read this line somewhere and I was pleasantly surprised to realise it came from this song.
There's a fine, fine line
Between love and a waste of time.
There Is Life Outside Your Apartment
I thought of myself when I read the title of this song, I kid you not. *headdesk*
There is cool shit to do
But it can't come to you
And who knows, dude, you might even score
There's a life outside your apartment
But you've got to open the door
The More You Ruv Someone
Love and hate defined, lol.
The more you ruv someone
The more you want to kirr them
The more you ruv someone
The more he make you cly
...
That's why you ruv so strong
You want to make him DIE
Schadenfreude
Schadenfreude's German for happiness at the misfortune of others, which is what this song is about. It's cool. :P
Don't you feel all warm and cozy
Watching people out in the rain?
That's Schadenfreude
People taking pleasure in your pain
I Wish I Could Go Back to College
Oh, college. This one's one of the first I heard, and consequently loved. Honestly, I'm still in college and already I don't think I want to leeeeeeeeaaaaave. Oops.
I wish I could just drop a class
Or get into a play
Or change my major
Or fuck my TA
I need an academic advisor to point my way
The Money Song
One of the vaguer songs, I keep not paying attention when this comes on.
All I’m asking you
Is to do what
Jesus Christ would do.
He’d give me a quarter,
Why don’t you?
For Now
Whatever it is, everything's temporary, and only for now. :D
Everyone's a little bit unsatisfied.
Everyone goes 'round a little empty inside.
Take a breath
Look around
Swallow your pride
For now...
For now...
