It's amazing how much an extra hour of sleep can do. I slept 5 hours last night instead of 4, and I didn't come even close to drifting off in my 8 AM and 9 AM classes! \o/ In fact, chemistry was very interesting today, and I'm feeling confident with the material, which is, uhm, good since we have a test on Friday!

Danny in 5.5 hours. Oh man.

I've just gotten into this band, but in a very bizarre way. They're called Benefits of Being Paranoid, and heres_luck made the most stunning Serenity vid to their song New Frontier, and the song got stuck in my head so I went to their website and downloaded all their music (which they have up for free - go here and snag it, it's really good! Benefits of Being Paranoid) and so basically I've been playing their album on repeat for a few days. But the thing is that it's mostly background noise. None of the songs (except for that first one I knew, and maybe one other) have stuck out particularly - it's just this pleasant noise in the background at all times. I've listened to every song at least 10 times, but I still know barely any of the words. It's kind of weird! I enjoy the music a whole lot, but not in the usual singing along and dancing kind of way. Huh. If you're wondering what kind of music it is, it's basically alternative rock. I love the guy's voice. Good stuff! And also any Serenity/Firefly fans should totally go check out the music video, it's STUNNING and TRANSCENDANT and always gives me chills... guh. Go here: http://www.heresluck.net/

Hope your Mondays are going well, my dear flist!

I love Benefits of Being Paranoid! I went through the same process as you (found the Serenity vid, went to their site, promptly downloaded everything) and now I want to make a vid of my own to "Rain." :)) I really like the background noise aspect. It's nice to be able to work without getting distracted by lyrics.

Good luck with Danny!

That's so funny that you did exactly what I did! And OMG, just this morning I was thinking how Rain would make a great vid!! Get out of my head! ;)

I love that emotional climax in New Frontier, especially how it manifests in the video - the parallels between Serenity spiraling out of control and River killing the Reavers in her deadly dance... it's just gorgeous, so visually stunning.

Thank you! *meeps*
