Spazz

The other day I went with my brother to the music store. He was looking at amps, I was continuing my seemingly endless quest to find some sheet music for Carry On My Wayward Son (I actually found some! But it was in a huge book. WE SHALL SEE.) when I decided to wander over to the guitar section to stare at the banjos.

They were expensive. So was the $300 Fender tenor ukulele. Seriously. $300 for a ukulele, who the hell do they think they are?

But then.... through the haze of expensive instruments, it appeared:



His name is Dean. I am in love with him. We are going to get married and run off to the country together and have little guitar babies. I've always been weirdly biased against guitars, but I sat down to play this one and it was a beautiful thing, let me tell you. I honestly can't stop thinking about it. I don't know where I'm going to come up with the money to buy it, but I'm bringing it home. Somehow, some way.

Also this is the company's logo:

They totally ship Dean/Castiel. Basically, I have to buy it and then compose epic love ballads for them. It's imperative.

Anyways....... Happy Easter! ;D

Sorry everybody, my internet's been down tonight, so I didn't get a chance to work on the meme, and now I'm just going to post it tomorrow.

But it is happening. Giant SPN fandom mix trade. Tell your friends. ;)

Thank you all for the lovely comments on my last picture. You have no idea how happy inside they make me. <3

I've been incredibly bored all day today. I'm really art-ed out, and will be for a few more days, yet. I don't want to make a video because I'm too lazy to grab clips. No one is online to talk to, and my brother has co-opted the Xbox.

So I've mostly been spending the day with my piano. I want to make a video of me playing it for posterity, but I don't want it to be Moonlight Sonata or Lacrimosa because I've played them to death. I'd do "Genius Next Door", but it's really, really not in my vocal range, and I'd want to do it justice because it's one of my favorite songs. That leaves the Dresden Dolls songs. The funny thing about these books is that my favorite songs on CD are rarely my favorite to play; I used to hate "Perfect Fit", but I play it just about every time I sit down at a piano bench these days.

Just try to guess what my favorite song to play from Yes, Virginia is.

Of course it had to be "First Orgasm". Oh, Amanda Palmer and the ridiculous things you make me enjoy singing. I always hated the piano part of that song until I learned to play it. It also doesn't hurt that it's ridiculously easy. I'll probably just end up recording "Boston", though; I kind of love it and it's also got that easy thing going for it. Or maybe "The Sheep Song", even though I don't like it so much when it's me playing that one. Go figure.

Or maybe I'll just end up recording my Astronaut cover on my ukulele, and all evidence of my mad piano skillz will fade into obscurity.

I don't know what I was smoking when I scheduled a second art class all the way out in that warehouse. I mean, I love the place to death (there was a dog! A big dog! Wandering around last time and it was ADORABLE), but it's so far. The fact that it's 30 degrees and misting isn't helping matters. Also my impending wood shop experiences... I'm really hoping I got the right wood and can make it through class without losing a limb. *crosses fingers*

I'm absolutely horrid at using power tools. Probably because my immediate reaction to holding drill/saw/sharp object that makes loud noise is to throw my head back and laugh maniacally. I would make an awesome super villain.

In other news, my musical tastes have recently turned to awesome chicks playing piano. So I thought I'd share. :D I'm such a giver.

The Only Fault - Rachael Yamagata
Rangers - A Fine Frenzy
Metal Heart - Cat Power

I can't wait for SPN Thursday. KINDA SORTA SPOILERFREENESS FOR THE WIN omg I'm so spoiled at this point I shouldn't even be allowed to say that... at least I know nothing for 10!

ETA: A New Comedian Poster for Watchmen.... <3

I haven't been up to much lately (other than my video, which, for what it looks like, well... why can't I do something more worth my time? XD;;), but I thought I'd check in to apologize for not really reading my flist over the past few weeks. Occasionally I just get a little overwhelmed and can't handle reading it... it's this whole weird thing. I really don't even know.

But I'm probably going to go back through it tonight, if I don't get this video finished or study for my midterm tomorrow, so you know. If you get random comments from me, it's because I'm really late and bad at this flist thing. :)

In other news, I'm in absolute love with Rock Band. So here's a download of Let There Be Rock by AC/DC. Because that is essentially what I've been screaming all day. :) Good times.

I'm all by myself for SPN this week. Anyone (besides tahu ;D) want to be online and watch it with me?

When you see this, quote Supernatural in your LJ.

Pretty sure I'm the last one here, but... *points to icon* :D

I decided not to do my homework tonight in favor of being completely and totally random. And making video crack for popcornleader. That I should be posting in Mount Rosenbaum, but I couldn't be bothered. :D Also, I wanted to use my Rosenbaum tag again.

( /o/ SO COME AND DANCE WITH ME, SO COME AND DANCE WITH ME! \o\ )

In closing, 2 DAYSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

ETA: I stole a meme from kateg123 because I continue to be a ninja. :D A song for each of the letters in my username:

Get Low (Lil Jon Cover) - Rowan Spencer
Everything In Its Right Place - Radiohead
Michael - Franz Ferdinand
Blasphemous Rumors - Depeche Mode
All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan Cover) - Tom Landa & The Paperboys
Time Is On My Side - The Rolling Stones

If you take nothing else, take the first song. It's an acoustic cover. It's ridiculously hilarious. That is all.

Over the past few days I've been watching The Soup on youtube. Don't ask why (it has something to do with Fandom Wank and David Caruso, and I can't remember anything past that).

Anyways, I'm sure everyone and their dog has seen this clip, but I cannot stop laughing. And it's been three days.

So, here ya go:



For further hilarity, check out SuperHills Me. <3

In closing, a meme.

Here are the top 100 songs of the year 2007 (when I graduated high school, whoot-whoo!). Strikethrough the songs you don't like, bold the ones you do, italicize the ones you've never heard. (Stolen from various f-listers)

( Proof I was born in the wrong decade. No, really )

So... I've made a video about Dean, and one about Bela, but not one about Sam. And what's that about, anyway. So in my never-ending quest to learn how to use After Effects, I've decided to do something about this. So... you can help me in picking a song. :D Which... you know... would work better if I put them online is what Muxtape was made for! :D Except, it won't upload anything that isn't an *.mp3, so... Jessica Numbers isn't on there. And neither is The Trickster. But you can watch them at those links on youtube if you so choose. :D Anyway, here's my muxtape.

[Poll #1198683]

As always, I'm totally going to shorten the song. I just honestly cannot choose between all of these. Any help at all is appreciated? Also, I'll hopefully have a really, really ginormous post later, wherein I ramble about my hair, terrible books I've been reading, and Michael Rosenbaum. For serious.

Dude, I'm getting ridiculously excited about tomorrow. :D "No Virginia" is coming out, as well as the Muse DLC for Rock Band, and I am just MUSIC'D OUT what with all my excitement. :) I even drew a picture of Amanda Palmer whilst printing once again (I'm basically printing and binding about 6 different copies of books; it's sorta crazy and/or ridiculous, and most certainly not what I signed up for, but hey! I'm getting paid! \o/), and I sorta like the way it turned out.

( Pictuuuuure! )

I don't know if I'm going to color it, but... the legs definitely need some work. :/

I'm really starting to feel a bit of burning out coming on, though I don't know what for. I think it's because I"m staying up too late at night to physically be able to deal with getting up at 7AM every morning. Factor in the fact that I walk home about twice a week (I loooooove doing this. And will never trade my peaceful walk home whilst listening to the cheesiest possible metal for the WORLD. <3), and I'm just about feeling dead. I may take a small break from... everthing, so....... er.... Don't wonder if I fell in a pit (I probably did.) cause I'm just sleeping?

As for the title of this post, I was checking through my last.fm page this morning, and noticed that Coldplay was my top-played artist for the week. D: They released new tracks from their new album. They sound different/more better, I swear! THEIR MUSIC IS LIKE AURAL CRACK! Plus, I think one of the new songs is about Louis XIV, who I had to spend a lot of time learning about in my History class last semester, so I feel slightly justified. It makes me feel smart. Actually, I think I'm just gonna go with the crack thing. It seems to be my excuse for everything.

Alright! 15 minute Journalism final for the epic win! :) There were only 3-4 questions I was even uncertain about, so... Here's hoping I can squeak an A out in that class. It really depends on what I get on my paper. Which he's not giving back to us. e.x;

But I'm done! And thus making a substantive post for the first time in a long time. :) Arts and music lie ahead! :D

So a while ago I did something like an icon meme where I had to say something about a few of my icons. So I'm doing that now. I don't have time to tag anyone, but feel free to pontificate about your favorite icons in the comments/your own journal.


It is my firm belief that everyone should have a "Damn you, Kripke" icon. It is my other firm belief that everyone will have one by the end of this season. :) The man just knows how to make me love him and curse his name for the buckets and buckets of angst he pours out in his show. I picked this one because Bobby's on it, and who doesn't love Bobby? Psychopaths. That's who.


I love Meg, and have a bad habit of being sarcastic and doing bad things. *cough* I love the placement of the text on this one, too. :) These are the kinds of things that make me realize I'll never be a great icon-maker. I don't think of doing simple things enough. Ah, well. In closing, Meg = <3.


Dream a Little Dream of Me might just be my favorite episode of this season so far. And I love the composition and overall eeriness of the ending of that episode. What can I say? Demon!Dean just does it for me. :P Kripke, you horribly magnificent teasing bastard, if Dean is not at least part demon by the beginning of next season, I will feel severely let down, and probably cry.


Whoo! One of my crappy icons from the Ghostfacers site. The only one on this list that I've actually made, and it fills my heart with ridiculous glee. Sam's beard and Dean's glasses are hilarious and epic win.

Tonight is Supernatural! :D Hopefully I'll have deep thinky-thoughts about the episode, but finals have probably ensured that I won't. Oh, well. PIE! <333 Last time, we found these tiny pie crusts at the store, and made cup-pies like in Pushing Daisies. Because we are the biggest/most awesome nerds you ever could meet. Last time we had blackberry, and this time we're making peach. :) They're adorable. Since this is the last Pie-day, I'll probably try to take pictures. I won't, but I'll probably try.
