Strung Out
July 26th 2008 by Sou in Books, Music, University, YouTubeI’m sipping on lukewarm green tea. Oh joy; such a great way to start the day.
I woke up an hour ago, and the first thing on my mind, literally, was: “Crap! My papers for my Literary Criticism class!” I guess that was the real “great start to the day”. If it’s any consolation (to myself), I’ve got half the Marxist theory paper done, and I’ve got a title for my research paper (due on Wednesday) - yes, just a title. I’ve been telling myself over and over again that I work better under pressure; so who knows, I might be typing away at 4 AM on Wednesday. Let’s hope the latter isn’t true and I actually get over and done with this paper in the next three days.
I’m exploring new music, which is a breath of fresh air, because I was starting to get bored of the music I listen to over, and over, and over, and over again. I came across the Violent Femmes when I was reading The Time Traveller’s Wife, and I thought to myself: “Oh what the heck, it won’t hurt to check them out.” That’s what I did, I listened to the track mentioned in the book, Blister in the Sun, and I’ve had it on repeat for the at least the last half hour.

I don’t usually add two music videos in one post unless I’m trying to showcase the beyond-words awesomeness of an artist. I started writing out this post with a chosen “end of post song”, and I had no intention on adding Blister in the Sun. To make a long story short, I present to you Not in a Million Years by, the Maltese Indie band, Beangrowers. (Don’t ask how I find my music, if I tell you, I’ll have to kill you, haha.)

Till next time world.
PS. When I started writing this post, it was 11:30 AM, now it’s almost 1:30 PM. I forgot to publish the post. Go figure.
HAHA!
You had better finish your paper! And send in a first draft! La kaf 3ala your wesh;p
Oh, and I like the music;p
Moey: :)
Amethyst: Easier said than done my dear. I finished the Marxist theory paper, any good? ;p
So if you find ‘not well-planned’ or ‘rushed’ scribbled on your paper it’d be totally justified, wouldn’t it? Just be careful not to let your teacher know you are writing a research paper in a mere 3 or 4 days ;)
Nice songs.. Great day, it is :)
Hanan: The only way she’ll find out is if you tell her, and you won’t do that. Right? :) If anything, she should admire that I wrote a paper in 3 days; it’s more challenging that way, and us independent woman are always up for a challenge! ;)
Operon: Glad you liked the songs. :D
Sou, How you doing I missed you girl.. Man I really loved the song “blister in the sun” People ask you how you find your music too.. I get that all the time.. I am glad I am catching up with you and also to find you are still chasing your tail with papers LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Good Luck

Sarah: We shouldn’t reveal our secret though. Where we get our music stays with us. Shhh. :)
Sweet Lemon: Thanks hun.
Coconut: Glad you liked it. :)
F: I’m in love with it! I’ve actually reached the point where I don’t want to finish it because I don’t want it to end; I’m sure you’re familiar with that feeling. You know what they say though, “all good things must come to an end”, which is exactly why I’m reading two-three pages a day. I know, I know. ;p
Glad you like the music, and thanks for the wishes; I’m typing out the paper now (multitasking, yes, yes.)
