Music Monday: We're all a little unsteady...

I am almost positive that I've posted this one before, but it is speaking to me, my situation, and even my characters right now. You can't really ignore those kinds of convergences, now can you? So on this last day of Camp NanoWriMo for this year I think that if we are all a little unsteady we can support each other...right? (Lyrics are in the video.)

Music Monday: Twin Flames

I'm very into Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, so when I saw that this actress was also a singer I was HOOKED. But the concept of the song is very familiar too...Sath and Gin, Hack and Elys, Maggie and Henri, Lex and Em...even Taeben and Gin. As much as I say I'm NOT a romance writer, it always ends up there in the end, somehow. Enjoy.

We we were told we met before thisThen I knew it from the first kissAnd all that I felt when you touched me againFeeling you through me don't want this to endLost all focusLeft me soullessBlinded by the lightTwin flamesTwo heartsCan burn outIn any second andTwin flamesTwo heartsCan implodeLive in the embers andOh oh, oh oh, oh ohTwin flamesTwo heartsOn fireWe're burning togetherNo holds barred now I'm addictedI left my mark on you with my lipstickThe fear of me losing you not in my bedI wake in the night all alone in my headLost all focusLeft me breathlessBlinded by the lightTwin flamesTwo heartsCan burn outIn any second andTwin flamesTwo heartsCan implodeLive in the embers andOh oh, oh oh, oh ohTwin flamesTwo heartsOn fireWe're burning togetherWe burn, we're burning togetherWe burn, we burn, we're burning togetherWe burn, we burn, we're burning togetherWe burn, we burn, we're burning togetherWe burn, we burn, we're burning togetherWe burn, we burn, we're burning togetherTwin FlamesTwo heartsOn fireWe're burning together

Music Monday: This Weekend, I Cosplayed my Hero

This past weekend was my first trip to ConGregate, and it will not be my last. What a great group of people, good panel discussions, and just an all around good time. Many, many thanks to the Con staff for that weekend away from the chaos that is my life right now. They have a tradition that everyone wears Hawaiian shirts on Friday, both in memory of a specific member of their con family but also for those lost in Sci-Fi/Fantasy fandoms over the past year. So quite accidentally I ended up cosplaying one of my personal heroes, my friend and adopted sibling, Robby Richardson. 

All I needed was a turkey on my head and some Elvis glasses, right? For Music Monday, please enjoy this Jimmy Buffett tune that always makes me think of good times and friends from the "Baby Rich" era of my life. I miss you, Baloo. Thanks for the inspiration.

Music Monday: Dance, Monkey

So...It's going to be a long few months, and right now I have run out of bandwidth to explain further. This song is representative of one of my new video obsessions - West Coast Swing. This keeps me sane, at least for now. Camp Nano continues, ConGregate 9 is coming up this weekend, and I am holding on with all I've got. Enjoy.

Music Monday: Tattooed Camp Nano?

I know it's July. I understand that Camp Nano started two days ago. I am aware that I'm editing this month and I'm already behind. But I'm still living in May, for a variety of reasons--one of which is Eurovision. When there's a lot of awful in your everyday, Eurovision is a blast of happy, over-saturated, European musical goodness. This was the winner this year, Loreen from Sweden, and she won the year that hubs and I watched the finals on my tiny tablet screen in a HOT hotel in Maisons-Laffitte just outside of Paris on our belated honeymoon. (That sentence was almost as long as the days felt in that hotel that did not believe summer had started and wouldn't turn on the AC.)

So you enjoy Loreen in the comfort of your air conditioned whereveryouare, and I will go back to my virtual tent at Camp to get back to writing...at least until the bell rings for teatime and then singing on the virtual porch, that is.
