La Redécouverte
Wow... I virtually vegetated all day....
I had a lot of little things to do, none of them important, and I just started a bunch of them and didn't finish even one. I'm in that mindset where I want to do things, but I'm not ready to do them.... This happens to me a lot. It's like, if I'm not keyed up enough to complete a task in a way that will result in an amazing outcome, then it's not the right time to start it. Usually I can work myself up and then focus on one thing and do it, but today I really couldn't. I should be upset with myself , but I'm not... which upsets me >:[
Ok, change of topic!
If you amuse yourself doing art (of any kind, really! Graphics in general count!) and you want a tough challenge with hardcore prompts go to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
art_bingo, join the community and leave a comment asking for a bingo card for the "It's a Small World Challenge". The prompts are kinda hard, but that's the beauty of the challenge :) (also, you'll get to learn a lot of things about countries whose existence you weren't aware of :D. If only my Geography classes had been so interesting I might have studied my stuff better. Well, it's never too late.)
Since I'm a lamer who doesn't have anything better to do on Sunday night, have a nice (and hilarious) music meme :)
(I uploaded all the songs for you, because I had to do something right today, ok?)
RULES:
1. Put your iTunes, Windows Media Player, etc. on shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS.

I'm always disappointed when I do this kind of meme because the shuffle option on my iTunes must hate me big time. The "answers" are always either hilarious or hilariously accurate (scarily so).
Anyway. You know what's the most hilarious of all of them? The one about my wedding. Because when "Umbrella" came out I was obsessed with it and got my hands on any cover ever done of that song. I was so fixated that I went and burned myself a cd with 16 tracks of Umbrella-covers! Now, I don't want you to be jealous. Why don't you click here and burn yourselves a copy too? I even included coverart :)
And just because I'm in a present giving mood have these versions too:
Amanda Palmer sang it live.
Linkin Park did a cover when they played in London
And someone did a very Cool Mashup titled "Thnks fr th Umbrellas". You can't resist the awesome that is FOB and Rihanna in a single song.

But I do have come to like quite a few covers in recent years and can now appreciate them as something new and independent.
I should do a post about my favorite covers - maybe I even have something you don't have yet? :)
no subject
This would make me very very VERY happy!
