Working, Music, and Muse.

So, my superpower was gaining control over me today. I would rather take a beating than work on my paper so I knew that desperate times called for desperate measures. I know that, in the absence of a motivational speaker, the only thing to get me going would be to put on some Linkin Park. (It always makes me work, whether it be housecleaning or homework. I think I even type faster in its presence!)
And it is working. I am almost done with the sections that are due Monday. However, it has also managed to reawaken my desire to do some Merlin vidding. But I can't! One, I promised myself that I would obtain and learn a new vid-editing program before I ever made any more vids. (It's time to move on from Movie Maker) and, two, I cannot undertake such a project till after December 17th!!!
But, that doesn't mean that I won't think about it and come up with an ideas and envision what clips I want to use. I have come across two songs that I'd love to make Merlin/Arthur centric vids to. They are on the angsty side, especially the second but anyone who has seen any of my previous Stargate vids knows that I do love me some angst now and again. And, oh, this series has certainly given us some additional angsty goodness.
Probs no one cares except
scarym1 because we love to talk about vids and share music for vids even if we haven't had much of an opportunity for creating and discussing of late. But, in any case, the songs are terrific and I'd recommend them if they weren't attached to my Merlin/Arthur vid longing. I've linked YT lyric vids. Let me know what you think.

And, I still LOVE that icon. Hum...makes me want to go for a Farscape rewatch.

But for me I immediately pictured Rodney/John angst in the first one. Then then the second had me thinking all about some Daniel Angst. You could even toss in some Vala or Jack. I really have a one track mind sometimes. ; )
My goal during my winter hibernation is to work on some new vids and watch all of Farscape.

Sounds like a wonderful winter hibernation goal. I plan on doing some vidding even though I will also have to study for the certification exam.

For some reason, my son seems to know who sings what (a teenager thing?) and I heard a song the other day by this band when he happened to be in the car and I could ask "Hey, who sings this?".
Yay, now I have found someone else I really like.
