Farewell Ladies and Gents!

Aw, the semester is over.

It's not that I'm not glad to run frolicking back to Birmingham where I can start packing to go to Ireland or anything...

BUT I am sad to see this class go.

Y'all were a lot of fun, and I had a great time this semester!
So, thanks, everyone!

I hope everyone is fairing well during exam week, and that everyone's papers came out fabulously. Keep on truckin'! You're almost finished for the year!

Anyway...

Catch y'all on the flip side.

Yay Music

Thanks for making all these cool playlists guys! My iTunes is a little on the lacking side so I am always needing good music references. Anyways, last class today, yay!! This class has really introduced me to a lot of cool new authors. I am definitely a new Kelly Link convert. And since everyone seems to love him so much I think I will pick up a few more Pratchett novels too. Since we all posted playlists, we should all recommend an author too!!

Andy is wikipedia famous

Hey Andy your wikipedia famous these days.

We need to spruce the place up a bit. Got a picture to upload Andy? Or should we come up with our own ;-)

Musics

So, I searched through my playlist and didn't come up with a whole bunch, although there were entire soundtracks on there that are worth mentioning.

I think somebody already said Harry Potter, and I love all that music. Also worth mentioning are all three of the Lord of the Rings soundtracks. I am an absolute sucker for every single track (a total of 56 songs in my playlist), and being a band geek and an absolute music freak, including classical, it gives me goosebumps every time. (Currently listening to -- "The Breaking of the Fellowship".) Also, Pirates of the Caribbean. Because you know what, those pirates can inspire fantasies for me any day of the week. ;)

Other than that, there's also some good stuff from Shrek (more of a fairytale, but I think it qualifies) - "My Beloved Monster" by Eels, I think they have a track on Shrek 2 also... if the movie and lyrics aren't enough to sway you, listen to the guitar riffs in the middle of "Monster". They are absolutely otherworldly.

I can't say too much for the rest of my playlist...it's all classic rock, 90's stuff, and classical. I will, however, say this: being in the Million Dollar Band last year and having to perform "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" so many times made me LOATHE that song, so for everyone that suggested it...I bite my thumb at you. :)

My Song List

I really do hate technology. I had an entire play list typed in AND "Save Now"'ed and it's gone. The internet went wacky and it's gone. So I have to be creative ALL over again ( not easy) and here's the second one, not nearly as good as the first.
And they're not in any particular order...

-RESPECT (for Monstrous Regiment)
-Do You Believe in Magic?
- This Magic Moment
- Hedwig's Theme / (any Harry Potter music by John Williams will do really...)
- Puff the Magic Dragon
- Zombie Jamboree
- Magic Carpet Ride
-Bitch (...for Monstrous Regiment)
- Night on Bald Mountain ( because it's just spooky)
-Mummer's Dance
-Dragostea Din Tei (because it's just plain weird)
-Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

:)

My songs...

So, I just looked through my entire iTunes library to find some songs for you. I'm a little disappointed that I just looked down and saw one of the songs I found, but I'll list it anyway. P.S. I don't know how to do the cute little link thing so that you can click and listen on here, sorry.

1. The Devil Went Down to Georgia - The Charlie Daniels Band
2. Fairytale - Sara Bareilles
3. Genie in a Bottle - Christina Aguilera....lol.
4. If You're Going Through Hell - Rodney Atkins....maybe.
5. Keep Holding On (From "Eragon") - Avril Lavigne....good book, disappointing movie.
6. Kryptonite - 3 Doors Down
7. My Alien - Simple Plan
8. What's it Feel Like To Be A Ghost - Taking Back Sunday
9. Zombie - Cranberries


So....yeah...out of 2626 songs in my library, I found 9. That's the best I could do.
