The cursor always blinks first

I am feeling slothful yet determined today. So far this has resulted in blueberry bread, and may result further in me skipping the gym to brainstorm Kingdoms of Dust. The deadline of Kingdoms agrees with this, even if my pudgy areas don't. Right now I'm staring at the 11,000 words I've written so far and trying to figure out how to make them punchier and grabbier, and making notes in my head. The notes go something like:

• Replace stupid boring 'splainy prologue with something fun.


• Light a fire under Isyllt (Literally??? No, probably not.)


• Should the jailbreak be harder?


• Can't we get to the drunken zombie cobras already?


• Where is my cowbell?


• Spunky apprentice needs something to do.

Destroy every meme you touch

A music meme, via oddmonster:

1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List 5 songs that start with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.

I got the letter D.

1. "Dominion" - The Sisters of Mercy

Sunglasses! Spies! Hair! Von with a stick! Sax! All the love in the world is contained in this video. Also, it's (more specifically, "Dominion/Ozymandius") on the Kingdoms soundtrack.

2. "Dalai Lama" - Rammstein

This is as close as I may ever get to an industrial cover of "Der Erlkoenig," and for that I love it to pieces.

3. "Dark Side of the Glass" - Fred Mollin & Lori Yates

That's right. I own the Forever Knight soundtrack. Don't judge me! This is cheesy as hell, and it's on my faerie soundtrack.

4. "Days and Days" - Concrete Blonde

And only three days till the concert! Squee!

5. "Destroy Everything You Touch" - Ladytron

The eighth most often played song in my iTunes, and it feels a lot higher than that. Isyllt's theme song, and some other characters like it too.
