I should work harder

[liaku]

Did a big batch of reading today, and my brain is bust.  I'm all caught up on history, except the Mazzini reading, and half done with politics, which is good enough for the time being.  I think I might camp out with my computer at a café tomorrow if it's warm enough for me to brave walking outside.  I really need to write these essays (the study abroad one is finished and submitted, so that's one down), and maybe some leisure writing too sometime.

I've been reading Nation, by Terry Pratchett.  It is heartwarming, heartbreaking, a beautiful story for children, and an incomprehensible story for children all at the same time.  It completely makes up for Unseen Academicals, where Pratchett disappointed me quite a bit.  I've also watched the entirety of Chuck, and I recommend it to anyone who likes spies and dramedy, because it is wonderful, hilarious, and a brilliant work of TV.  Highly recommended by yours truly.

And I randomly decided to adopt a couple of eggs today.  Aren't they cute?  I'm betting they'll all die, but go clicky clicky on them to save them from their inevitable doom for me, will you?

I'm sure they will. I'll keep clicking until they are hatched.

I shall. Didn't Terry Pratchett also write Maskerade? The parody book about Phantom? I can't remember.

YES. THE POWER. DO YOU STILL HAVE THE RECORDING? I don't know why we thought it was a good idea, either. But I'm thinking it should happen again. O_o

They hatched! :D Naturally, this means I went out and got even MOAR eggs. The cycle never ends. I'm sure CLICKTHIS!!! spam is going to be how I lose all my friends.

Yeah, he wrote Maskerade, though it wasn't really his best work (he's written books that're worse, but mostly, he's written books that're waaaay better). Still a fun read though.

I recorded the POWER on a different computer, but theoretically... it exists somewhere on megaupload. If we have a go again, I say let me have a go with Rudolf since I can actually hit all his notes--but then, maybe me missing notes is part of the POWER, and I don't think I can outPOWER your POWER.

YAY! More clickin' for me.

And, that's what a lot of people say about Maskerade. I tried reading it but I got a bit confused as to what was going on.

And, I can't believe it exists still on megaupload. I know there are searches for MU, so I'm wondering if people found it and listened to our 'power'? Rudolf is all yours, I'd love to have a try at Der Tod. We need to plan this out because I'm going to be bored somedays and this will give me some serious lulz.

Yeah, honestly, I wouldn't even recommend Maskerade to a PotO fan as an intro to Pratchett. It's under par for him, though it's still a solid book--it was mostly written for laughs. His better books make you laugh, and then make you think. And then Nation goes the extra mile and made me cry.

...I really hope no one's listened to it. I can actually find my half of the songs on my filemanager. Mine's named southernhalf.wav, so I doubt that's immediately searchable. :P

Hopefully, I'll be free sometime to do another crazy recording. It'll be epic. And powerful.
