Drink up me hearties

[lyssie]

1. LAST WEEK OF HELL, PRAYING TO ALL DEITIES AND THE UNIVERSE IT IS SO. I will seriously write an email of "OMGWTF IS THIS BULLSHIT" if I get optioned for a longer time for this stupid as fuck project

2. I literally got stuck in a two hour meeting where we went over the fucking basic 101 of RECEIVING. I cannot with how stupid and clueless these people are.

3. Seriously. FIVE MONTHS ON I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS TO YOU.

4. otoh, I also got tagged to do a project for our process manager. AND a project for the general group tomorrow. PEOPLE. THERE IS ONLY ONE OF ME.

5. In non-work news, I got hit in the Kara/Sam OTP feels today, because Shiny Toy Guns' Chemistry of a Car Crash was playing, and it is ALLLllll the Collaborators-Eye of J feels EVER. THOSE TWO. (ok,it also seems to fit the season 4 Kara/Sam, too. whatever--I identify it with season 3) I don't know why I'm using feels. I suspect it's laziness.

6. er, and now I've got a Kara/Sam Anders fanmix. idek, man. (most of the tracks should be on youtube, I expect)

1. Thirty Seconds to Mars Conquistador (they clash and fight and frak so quickly, then separate again--though Kara's apathy at fighting the cylons also plays into it a little, I think)
I am the best
She claimed and more
A battle scarred conquistador
(We will, we will, we will rise again)
This is a fight for love
Lust, hate, desire
We are the children of the great empire

2. Bitter:Sweet A Moment
Hold me dear
Don't let go I am only here for a moment
Take your time while we bask in the sweet
define of the moment
What a moment
Say you love me, tell me anything
Tomorrow may not bring another chance to know the sweetness
Of these memories
What am I to do, but drink in all of you
Before the morning comes and we are forced to say adieu

2. Snow Patrol Crack the Shutters (found again and together and married and I still cannot believe they got married. what. Sometimes, I think that whole thing was a dream and there wasn't actual canon marriage)
Crack the shutters open wide
I wanna bathe you in the light of day
And just watch you as the rays
Tangle up around your face and body
I could sit for hours
Finding new ways to be awed each minute
'Cause the daylight seems to want you
Just as much as I want you

3. Garbage Boys Wanna Fight (because New Caprica resistance and being locked up and Kara never got to fight)
What a mess we've made
It's ridiculous
The whole wide world's a stage of complete chaos
It's gets so funny that we get confused
We don't know where to turn cause we've all been used

4. Shiny Toy Guns Chemistry of a Car Crash (ohai Collaborators through Eye of Jupiter. Please make me angst some more)
You're lost for tonight again
That's what you wanted'
Your arms to your side again..
Just take away the words I say
Cause I know
That you don't feel the same
Just go and say
What's in your head
And I won't try to stop you

5. Everything but the Girl Walking Wounded
(because the cliche is there, and I can't resist the opening lines)
Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every bus
Is you and me and him and her and nothing can replace the us I knew
Nothing can replace the us I knew
And no, I'm never gonna let you go

6. Snow Patrol Hands Open (I know. I'm sure there's a rule about having a band on something twice. But I feel this is that mid-season three-Maelstrom song that bridges all the gaps and pain and makes sense to me. Plus, I just feel that it's Kara clinging to Sam at the end of EoJ and Sam clinging right back, and those two were like designed for my id)
Why would I sabotage
The best thing that I have
Well, it makes it easier to know
Exactly what I want with my
Hands open and my eyes open
I just keep hoping
that your heart opens

And then the you-know-what happens, and I don't think I have any thoughts on that? But you can repeat Chemistry of a Car Crash and probably add in...

7. Something for Kate Kaplan/Thornhill (and half their catalogue, to be fair)
There's things that you believe about yourself that don't add up
This version of you, more like somebody else, but not enough
And now you're cutting a deal in your head
Conscience is crystal clear once again
And you lock up the skeletons
And I change my mind again
Because what you see is never what you get
But I'll take my chances, yeah

8. ok, and, Sick of Sarah One Night Stand (so dysfunctional.sigh)
And when it starts back into night
You'll ask me if I want to play
Come and chase me through the night
And feel this fine line escalate
I'll make you wonder
I'll make you wonder now
Give your fingertips a break
I'll take you under

9. U2 Electrical Storm (not just because of nicole_anell's vid, though that's an excellent reason; but they turned ridiculously epic with destinies and returns from the dead and cylon-ness and all the things in-between that, and guh. so perfect.)
Lets see colours that have never been seen,
Go to place's no one else has been.
You're in my mind
All of the time,
But I know it's not enough.
If the sky can crack,
There must be some way back
For love and only love.

10. Laura Doyle I Love You So (because now I'm sappy)
Oh I'm always dreaming
of something to take me away
Somehow always leaving
when you ask me to stay
And now I know,
I love you so

(how did I end up with a 10-track fanmix when I was just intending to throw a few songs out there? idek)

7. I'm really liking the Dragonette album 'Bodyparts', which is currently one of the five dollar albums on amazon.

8. I'm sure I should talk about comics, but I don't have the brain anymore.
