back!

Damn, I miss LJ so much, but at last, I have returned! I know I said I'll be back sooner, but I've just been lazing around. The weather has been brutally warm. How is my flist? Still having finals?

I'm aware that I've been neglecting this journal since last year, but now that school is done till August, I'm gonna have quite some free time  so I'll definitely be around more. So yeah, I'm gonna start commenting on your entries, pretending that I've been doing so all along (ahem). But, if you're reading this and thinking, who the hell is this person, you are free to defriend me. It's completely my fault for disappearing for so long.

Now, I expect everyone already has a copy of this, but just in case.


I've listened to it a few times, and while some songs sound like their usual style, others are quite different. I think they have come a long way from Transatlanticism, which is a shame because for me, that will always be my favorite album from them. Oh, and What Sarah Said on Plans, that is a stunning song. That is not to say this new album isn't any good. It is. At least, I think it is. I need to listen to it more. So far, I like Your New Twin Sized Bed and The Ice Is Getting Thinner, probably because those two songs are more of their old style. Still, Seth Cohan would be proud.

Also: Supernatural Boss Eric Kripke Spills on Dean's Soul and Plans for Season Four (spoilers!) I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season. It sounds awesome. 
Music:: death cab for cutie; your new twin sized bed

It's 6am. I haven't slept the whole night. I'm tired, but I don't really want to sleep. You know how that feels like, don't you? (maybe that's the caffeine talking; coffee/tea)

No, I don't really know what I'm talking about either. (or maybe it's the soft soothing korean indie I'm listening to)

Yes, apparently, American and Canadian indie isn't enough for me. I have to go dig into the Korean indie music scene, even though I don't understand a single word or it. Okay, maybe a few phrases I do know, but that's about it. But their indie music is so very pretty, how can I resist? Mostly though, I blame Coffee Prince. It's a Korean drama, a very good one. I'm addicted to it, now in the process of watching it for the second time. Think Twelfth Night, but crazier, wilder, cuter, funnier. Plus, it's about coffee. ♥

Trust me. Watch it.




6.30am now. Should I even bother sleeping?

twilight playlist update

posted by [personal profile] somersaulter at 01:16am on 09/08/2007 under , , ,
Twilight fans, I posted download links to the songs on the Eclipse playlist yesterday, and I went a little crazy and decided to do the same for Twilight and New Moon. Plus, all the missing tracks have been found. It's all in that post here. Both zip files and individual mp3s are available. Have at it.

Sorry, non-Twilight fans (wait, WHY?) for the spamming, but hey, do check out the music. Stephenie Meyer has pretty good taste.


I'm almost done with Eclipse. Expect squee/review post later.


Oh, and Happy National Day to Singapore and all Singaporeans. Wear red and white and have a great holiday!
Mood:: 'accomplished' accomplished

the obligatory jared birthday post

posted by [personal profile] somersaulter at 09:05pm on 19/07/2007 under , , ,

As you most likely already know, we love you. Jensen loves you too. Would have written you a fic, but I'm kinda hitting a creative block lately. Sorry. But hey, Jensen loves you, that should be sufficient.


one; That was the first graphic I've made in a really long time. Guess Mr. Padawhack is what it takes to pull me out of my lazy Photoshop block. Heh.


two; Joining in the freak out, OMG DEATHLY HALLOWS. I'm kinda screwed though, since I'm still re-reading Goblet of Fire. I should really skip straight to Half Blood Prince, but I'm still stubbornly clinging on the thought that if I don't sleep, I should be able to finish everything by 7.01am, July 21. Why oh why didn't I start sooner? Okay, forget it, I''m moving on to Half Blood Prince.


three; I should write something about the end of Harry Potter, shouldn't ? (NO SPOILERS) Something about how it has changed my life completely and how it is most possibly the best piece of literature and adventure in this century? Uh well. It is quite something, I have to say. I have the utmost admiration for Ms. Rowling. The world that she has created is nothing short of amazing. From Hogwarts to Diagon Alley,  from Albus Dumbledore to Severus Snape, from Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans to Butterbeer, she has invented a universe so enthralling that you can't help being sucked in. (I remember back in Primary School, one guy insisted to a teacher that we should take the broomsticks from our classrooms and play Quidditch during our Physical Ed. lesson. It was hilarious.)

Not only is the story utterly captivating, her style of writing is potentially cynical and so sarcastic at times, which makes it fun and very entertaining. What amazes me the most, however, is how the stories have substance. It isn't singularly blunt action adventure. The underlying themes about friendship, courage, love, family, among others, ground the stories in realism even which in unbelievable settings.

Rowling is, perhaps, the only author that can write thousands of pages and still not lose her readers among the millions of words and chunks of sentences. Some may say she's overrated, but look at the status of Harry Potter now, 2 million copies pre-ordered on Amazon alone. It's a worldwide phenomenon, and The Boy Who Lived will definitely continue to live on. J.K Rowling, and Harry Potter, is beyond any rating.

I got a little carried away there. I should go back and read my Goblet of Fire Half Blood Prince Goblet Order of the Phoenix. Grr.


four; This song is amazing; sara bareilles - gravity
You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love,
And not feel your rain.
Music:: sara bareilles; vegas
Mood:: 'happy' happy
