musica:blow, amongst other things.

so, ke$ha's album i guess came out like super super early. as in like today. or something like that. i don't even know. but blow came out today too!

musica:cannibal

so ke$ha's album hasn't officially come out yet, but singles are coming out like crazy, seriously. i.e. cannibal was supposed to come out like november 12th, but it got leaked november 8th.

for your listening pleasure:

also, what she is wearing slash her outfit. i don't even know.

musica: tswift! and how she's a great storywriter.

so andrea was All Sorts of Awesome and a Bearer of Good this morning when she lent me the new tswift album, speak now. all the songs are AMAZING (especially mean and better than revenge) and i wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who would like things to listen to.

i think authors can learn from songwriters, because they have such a limited time to tell a story (OH MY GOODNESS LIKE IN COMMON APP WHERE WE HAVE ONLY LIKE 150 WORDS TO SAY ANYTHING GOOD) and they do it pretty successfully most of the time. in "speak now," taylor's able to address both the present, the past, and all the characters and their yearnings. same with "back to december." and... "mean." a little bit. i think the songs that she released as singles address the stories of the characters and just fill many of the aspects of story-writing that we've look at as a class. ke$ha, however, does not do this. woe.

musica update: ke$ha, tswift.

to all the pop music junkies out there reading this blog, guess who's releasing another album! well... to be perfectly accurate, an ep. that's right, your favorite trashy woman, ke$ha! no, but really.



yeah. :) i'm super excited, and also tswift is coming out with her new album this friday, the 22nd! wow, this year in music is really awesome.

music of the day:
it's disgusting how i love you. -ke$ha

first day of the fiction class!
we read "cat in the rain" today by ernest hemingway. i thought it was an okay short story (although my favorite part was the italian, because i understood a good portion of it). the characters were believable as was the scenario. in essence, i think hemingway did a good job of making a story out of the mundane.

i am so excited for this class! the ability to be able to create a world out of words... it's amazing. and that's what we get to learn. :)

muse:
she thinks it's entirely disgusting. after being known all these years as a heartbreaker, she was falling headfirst in love with him. but it wasn't like the other times. he brushed away all the bad habits. every time she tried to run, he would yell, "red light!" and just like the children's game, she would stop right in her tracks. green light, and she would come back to him, one more bad habit broken. she's been trying to run for almost a year now, but she just keeps on falling back into the same pattern. she used to be a bandit. a heart snatcher. but now... now, she's a hopeless romantic. so... maybe it's not entirely disgusting. frightening? truly.
