I am ridiculously in love with this video. Also, I'm avoiding writing.



Okay, back at it now ...

Since I've been friended lately (yay!) and because I'm sure the rest of you just can't get enough of me (bwa ha ha!!) ... I'm on TWITTER as twasadark where I attempt to amuse you with updates from my wild and crazy life (like when I happen to catch my birds getting busy with one another.).  Our online publishing company also has a twitter account under xcpublishing.  We've been publishing a line from each chapter of our free online fantasy novel The Gauntlet Thrown here (btw, I wonder whether this is intriguing or just annoying? If you can drop me a line about that sometime I'd appreciate it.)

And just to change subjects without notice, I'm really digging Audioslave. I have three of their songs on my Zune - Gasoline, Like a Stone, and I Am the Highway, all of which I love.  Can anyone rec other Audioslave songs I might like, or maybe an album of theirs that is the better than the others?  

I'm on the last ep of S2 of Dark Angel.  I did go ahead and watch all of S1 despite my vow not to.  It got less boring after the first disc, I thought.  And there was Zack to look at.  He's not as good as Alec, but then again, who is?  And speaking of Alec, I find it very unsatisfying the way they left his character just sort of fizzle out during the series finale.  Sigh.  Oh, well.  I guess that's what fanfic is for, right?  The absolute worst episode ever has to be Boo, the Halloween episode.  It was pretty dang painful.

Medium: Uh ... the real world?

Notes: Ever feel like your life sucks?  Ever just want to get plastered and sing loudly and off-key, much to the dismay of your friends, relatives, and neighbors?  No?  Well, for God's sake, just PRETEND like you want to, okay?  This mix is designed to cheer you up, honor cats, and just be silly.  Did it succeed?  Y/Y?  This is my first fanmix. And possibly my last.

So, my latest music obsession is SICK PUPPIES.  And not in the least because I am a sick puppy myself - bwah ha ha ha.  This song reminds me of Dean sooooooooo much!!  You can listen online or dl if you want.

What are your Dean songs?  Or Sam songs?  Or Bobby songs?  :-)

... or something like that.  So, I'm supposed to be kicking my own butt into working on my book proposal.  Am I actually doing that?  No, I'm doing something VASTLY more important.  Blathering.  So, here goes ...

Google is my LOVE.  Why, you may ask?  Because, I've been thinking about what song to put on the podfic for my story Day of the Dead
which has a Southwestern, Hispanic feel to it, mainly because it's set in my hometown of Globe, AZ.  Globe is rather underwhelming, but it does have DAMN good Mexican food.  It also happens to have my daughter and various other family members in it. 

Anyhow.

I remembered a song that I liked by a local band that a friend was sure would hit it big.  Well, they never did, but they did get some airplay for their song, which had a decidedly Latino sound to it.  This was back in the 90's.  Perfect song for this podfic.  One small problem.  I didn't know the name of the band nor the name of the song.  I did remember that the friend who loved them used to listen to lots of bands at a local joint called Long Wong's (torn down a few years ago). So I googled "Arizona bands 90's alternative rock Long Wong's", and I FOUND IT!!!!  Then I previewed their songs on Amazon and FOUND the song that existed only in the dim recesses of my memory.  Of course I immediately bought the mp3 album and have been playing it.  So, the point of all this?  What, you expected there to be one??  Oh, yeah:

Google
The Internet              =            WIN
Amazon

Since I actually remember a time before the personal computer and the Internet.

The band is the Pistoleros who put out a couple of albums and then changed their name.  Here's the song I'm obsessed with:  My Guardian Angel.  They sound a lot like the Gin Blossoms, which was another Arizona band, btw.

And also, I drool when I see my Cassie/Dean kissing icon.  Yes, I am one of the three fangirls who actually LIKED Cassie and Dean. 

Okay, so now I need to get back to Neolithic graveyards.  I'll blather about Ironman tomorrow, since it has provoked me to DEEP THINKING.
