I am enjoying my Friday.

I love my job. :D Just throwing that out there.


I would like to thank destinationsexy for helping me out with regards to my podfic request (and I thought I had redirected comments to DW to keep everything in one place. Ah well). I've also found amplificathon, and have picked up a few podfics from former fandoms that I still have fond memories of.

Part of the reason I requested podfic is because it's much longer than songs, and if I try to listen to music while I'm working, I have to pause far too often to select another song, for I am finicky and bad at playlists. But I'm figuring out which albums I like to listen to all the way through - Bullets is winning so far, at least until I get sick of it. I'm just waiting to accidentally type something about zombie girlfriends into the folder list I'm working on, though. /o\

I'm tempted to record some podfic myself, if only because there are stories I want to be able to listen to while I'm at work. But - I don't really like the sound of my own voice, and I don't know how to do it.


My alarm clock might not be broken after all. *stares at it suspiciously* I'll test it out tomorrow. And speaking of broken stuff, I really hope my mom replaces the CD player in her car before I come home. I want to give her lots of music for her commute! And listen to it with her while we drive to the mall/French Quarter/Magazine Street/grocery store/Elmwood/Taqueria Corona/Five Happiness/assorted delicious New Orleans restaurants.

music for my mom (also taking suggestions lol)
• Leathermouth
• Fall Out Boy (Folie A Deux, since she has their other albums already)
• Thursday
• Patrick Wolf


I am about 4000 words behind on my writing, but I feel pretty okay about it. Because writing is important, but so is having a life where I run into people I know and hang out with friends and leave my apartment. Besides, this weekend is looking quiet, so I can catch up some. And really, what's 4k, in the grand scheme of 410k?

Huh, Bullets is an interesting choice for straight playability. I love the album, I do, but there's a few songs that sometimes I just can't make it through. &babyChemicalRomantics; Revenge on the other hand is by far my favorite album to listen through all the way in the whole world! :D

I know! And my choices might change, but for the past week, Bullets has been it. IDK.

Hey, sorry about the lj comment fail, I didn't see your note about openID 'til I'd posted it. Palm--->Forehead. You're welcome though! Thought I'd let you know about this place too - theaudiolibrary (http://community.livejournal.com/theaudiolibrary/). It's audiobooks rather than fic, but I find it does a similar job. Right now I'm listening to Harry Potter, almost purely for the joy of 8 hours of Stephen Fry's dignified tones : D

No worries. :) I'm annoyed at myself for forgetting to disable comments on lj.
