Flyering in the snow was more fun than it should have been. I guess when you have an M, Rachael, Tom, and Squall to help, it makes things more silly and good.
Snow angel madness.

I drank too much coffee. I want to sleep, I need to sleep. My body thinks that's stupid.

My hair is short again.

I keep wobbling between extremes of great happiness and profound introspection and melancholy. That can probably be chalked up to hormones, though. Most of my abberations in mood can be blamed on that.

I enjoyed walking home alone in the snow, despite it's efforts to go up my nose while I crossed the Belmont Bridge. I sang Dead Can Dance songs very loudly, as there was no one about to hear me, anyway. The snow swirling about was soothing, and the view from the bridge was lovely. I am always bemused by how bright the snowy nights get, and I love skulking around in my black clothing against all that white.

I just hope it doesn't decide again that melting into my basement is the way to go. I'm finally rid of Lake Belmont and I'd rather keep it that way.

So, when you're singing DCD songs originally sung by Lisa Gerrard (assuming that you are, of course), do you make up your own nonsense words, or do you happen to know the nonsense lyrics that she sings on a lot of her songs?

(note: I am rather inebriated at the moment, so I apologize in advance for this query.)

I usually make 'em up. Last night, however, I was singing Brendan Perry-fronted songs.
I make up lyrics for Cocteau Twins songs, too.

Which DCD song(s) do you enjoy singing the most?

(I like "I Am Stretched on Your Grave" and "The Wind That Shakes the Barley," myself. And I love the live version of "Cantara." But it's almost impossible to sing, really.)

I *love* to sing Cantara! And I unabashedly make up vocals for it. I also like "As The Bell Rings The Maypole Spins", "In Power..." [that's the one my band covers live], "Xavier"...
And now I have "Black Sun" stuck in my head. Heh.

when did you get a basement? did you move, or did you always have a basement and i didnt know about it...? whoof, confusion.

It was carefully hidden under the building ;)

Seriously, it's this terribly creepy-cool dirt pit in the ground, that I just recently had to visit more in the past month than I ever had in the past 4 years. It is partly mud, partly concrete floor, with eroding stairs and a weird walled-in raised part that could easily hold bodies. Evidently it also easily holds runoff water. :P
Always have a sump pump. That's my lesson for this year.
