Oh how I love mix tapes ...

Warning ahead of time - horrid at providing links to stuff I should (mostly because of technical incompetence). That said, I got this idea from the_dala and hija_paloma and their LJs.

Now their journals focused on songs that are, what my college roommate from Iowa used to fondly call "fuck music." My personal feeling is that anything by Enigma falls into this category, as do a few others. But I'd like to pick songs at random that aren't merely f-music, but also describe other random things I like about POTC characters:

On writing:

The bad news is that I'm stuck on my Tertiary Ficathon story. No, it's not yet done. Yes, I should be good and whacked for it (virtually, online, that is). It WILL be finished, just far past its due date.

The reasons for this are not bad. For one, I have articles and features to write for the local paper and a couple of other places, and I may have just picked up yet another magazine (local and regional magazines here tend to rise and fall at a rapid rate, lasting for about a year before folding - during which time I spam the hell out of them and take as much of their freelancer budget as they'll allow).

But the very good news, at least for me, is that "Deny" is moving once again, if a bit glacially. This is an improvement over it standing stock-still for so many months. This is the sixth installment in "Contradictions" for those three people actually keeping score. I have hopes this might actually be finished sometime in the current epoch, so I can move on to the seventh story, yet untitled.
