so very, very bored. have homework. am avoiding.

So lets play that fun game where you ask for songs and I try to find them. Pick a song (pick lots of songs!) something you've been looking for and can't find, something you think I might have, something you've been meaning to download and haven't yet, whatever. Alternatively, give me a genre/artist that you like and I'll upload some songs that I think you might like. Even better, send me songs! Upload something to yousendit (or your own webspace) anything, I like all sorts of music.

Earlier today was the Bay To Breakers run, I didn't get to go but people dress up crazy and run across the city. On my way back into town this afternoon I got a small glimpse of some of the costumes from checking out the people waiting for busses on 19th avenue. There were guys in drag, and people with giant hats, and men in capes. It was great. Today was intensely foggy, which, in San Francisco terms, officially means summertime is here. I don't think I've ever posted pictures of my apartment. So here are some of the apartment and the view.

My living room, the couches are my roommates, the bookshelf, coffee table, and papasan chair are mine though.

the dining room area.

This is the other side of the living room. Through the doorway are the bedrooms and bathrooms. And to the right of the doorway (not pictured) is the my bookshelf from the 1st picture. The white bookshelf in this picture is my roommate's She reads lots of self help books, evidently.

A view from the living room windows. My apartment is on the 7th floor in the Sunset district of SF. If it were on the other side of the building the picture would be a whole lot cooler because you'd be able to see the ocean. Nevertheless, I love my view. The sun rises over the hill, so the apartment gets great sun during the day.

Both of these pictures were taken, appropriately, at sunset back in March.

The fog was so thick and low today that it's actually surrounding my building. This picture is from today around 4:30pm.

And this one was taken at 7:30pm. It's been foggy all day but it's even thicker now. How would you like to be living at the top of that hill in fog like this?

A) Love the pictures. What a gorgeous place to live. One of my calendars for this year is views from the Bay area. Just a beautiful place.

B) That Fun Game. My friend just introduced me to "Bond", a group that does techno versions of classical music, and if you can find some of that, that would be awesome. Otherwise, I'm on my laptop and it's new and bare of music, so if you want to send me ANY songs I should have on here, that would be great. I promise to reverse the game and send you music sometime tomorrow night in return, when I am back to my normal music collection.

first album: born
1. quixote. the vocals make it magic.
3. victory. GLEE.
5. kismet. it's very sweet. this was also used by some ice skating pair chinese couple in the olympics, i recognized it. and went SQUEE!
6. korobushko. this one is my favorite. it's like russian roulette on strings, how it gets faster and faster.
8. duel. i think bond is one cello, two violas, one violin? you can definitely hear the battle between the cello and one of the other three.
9. bella donna. a sad song, for balance.
13. victory remix. CAN YOU HANDLE IT?!!

hopefully i got those links right.
