It's time for a random soundtrack thingy!

And now... for a thing to share with y'all!

You know the "stupidest short story" that is now a novella-in-training? It has a Latin title, but I don't want to reveal it all. Just the last word: Omnia. C'mon, language aficionados! I'm sure you know this one!

Okay, enough with the elementary Latin. Let's get to the random thing to share. How about the soundtrack to the novella? Yeah! I always wanted to do this, not just share the "official theme". Let's get to the beautiful list!

1. "Klapp Klapp" by Little Dragon
2. "Cannibal" by Silversun Pickups
3. "Somewhere" by Run River North
4. "Coming of Age" by Foster the People*
5. "Violet Hill" by Coldplay
6. "Every Now and Then" by Garth Brooks
7. "What the Water Gave Me" by Florence & the Machine
8. "Wanted (Dead or Alive)" by Strange Talk*
9. "Nowhere to Go" by Nite Jewel
10. "Gold Lion" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
11. "Seasickness (Part 1)" by YAMANTAKA // Sonic Titan
12. "Promise" by Wild Nothing
13. "Are You Okay?" by Dum Dum Girls
14. "Walkin' After Midnight" by Patsy Cline
15. "No Rest for the Wicked" by Lykke Li
16. "Don't Change" by Morgan Kibby [a.k.a. White Sea] (INXS cover)
17. "Very, Very Hungry" by Brian Eno and David Byrne
18. "My Silver Lining" by First Aid Kit
19. "People Help the People" by Birdy (Cherry Ghost cover)*
20. "[Animal]" by A Hundred Waters

*Thanks a lot, work. You're the reason these songs got to be part of the soundtrack.

I'm not gonna link to the songs for two reasons:
1) I'm lazy
and
2) I'm tired of linking songs that later turn into dead links

One more thing... the "official theme" to the novella is "Somewhere" by the excellent Run River North. If you haven't listened to their debut album, I'll forgive you this time for missing this excellence. But don't let it happen again!

Some sorta updates... *snores*

Well, life is always coming at me from all sides, so naturally I find myself unable to do certain things. But here we are, on Memorial Day weekend, and I have today off to do nothing but laze around like the loaf of sourdough bread I am*.

Phone interviews went well, but did not translate to second interviews or offers for employment. I must soldier on. There is a career fair the day after another interview, so I'm going to take advantage of that. After those two major events, I will do another sweep of job hunts and blanket all the banks with résumés and cover letters.

Writing has been on and off, just scribbling into my Moleskine Volant with a varied selection of Pilot Precise V5 pens between lulls in my work shifts, whenever inspiration strikes. That's why I'm always with a notebook and pen these days. But today I will work on a novel project long dormant and now ready to be worked on. God help me. 8-/

Been having plantar fasciitis issues again, but have found solace in an excellent foot lotion and an Accu-Tap massager my parents have. It does wonders on my heels. I did about ten minutes per heel yesterday before my closing shift and I hardly had any pain. Very nice!

However, I was struck with a low blood-sugar attack before I went to bed late last night, so I was unable to sleep, being sweaty and shaky. I stayed up about an extra forty-five minutes, eating some almonds and cheese with a tangerine. And some Lorna Doones and Mountain Dew Baja Blast (limited time only!).

So wow. Man. Lemme return next week with an ACTUAL entry of some substance. Until then, remember kids, tangerines will save your life.

*But surely I am the prettiest loaf of sourdough bread this side of the Mississippi's ever seen!

Quick updates on life, the universe, and... that's it

Hey party people, sorry it's been dog's ages since I last wrote on here. So lemme fix that for y'all!

• been reading the excellent RowdyKittens blog. After reading the author's book You Can Buy Happiness (and It's Cheap), I'm now a fan. Go check it out!

• Jamming out to the new Little Dragon album, especially "Paris"*. Hell yeah!

• Had a phone interview on Monday, another this coming Friday! Will keep you up to date on how those went. The one on Monday came as a huge surprise. I hope I get a second interview. 

• My parents are going work-camping again. And thus, party at my house! (No, not really.)

• Man, I can go for some French onion dip right now...

• Finished the "stupid short story" (now a novella in training) I initially talked about on here. Changed some details so now the famous musicians that were high-schoolers are now random-ass peeps in college. And I pictured the teacher as Christoph Waltz the entire time. *not ashamed*

That about covers it. Stay tuned for more bloggy goodness from me and other random things I want to post on here! See ya!

*Couldn't link to official video, since it's blocked for us Americans. Wahhh.
