Well. I emailed the wrong professor about Abnormal Psych... the one on my printout from enrolling in June is not the one actually teaching the course. My teacher's name is Leander. I suppose I can forgive his broken sense of humor now. I wouldn't be very funny if my name were Leander, either. Of course, once I found the right guy, his email address provided through the faculty directory is broken and can't be delivered... so basically I'm fucked on that.

I got the OK from Sanzotta, though, so I'll be able to make up his test on Monday. That's good.

The poll is currently even between song a day and fic rec a day, and I'm heading out to Massachusetts in a few minutes, so I'll take the easier option for now: music!

October 1: The Arcade Fire - Wake Up
If the children don't grow up,
our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
We're just a million little gods causin' rain storms turnin' every good thing to rust.
I guess we'll just have to adjust.

This is the background music for one of the trailers for Where The Wild Things Are. It's also probably my favorite song by the Arcade Fire. ♥ Funeral was an incredibly good album, if you haven't already heard it it's definitely worth checking out. (also: OMFG IS IT THE 16TH YET I WANT THAT MOVIE NOW PLZ)


October 2: Stars - In Our Bedroom After The War
Wake up
Say good morning to that sleepy person lying next to you
If there’s no one there, then there’s no one there
But at least the war is over
It’s us
Yes, we’re back again
Here to see you through til the day’s end
And if the night comes, and the night will come
Well at least the war is over
Lift your head and look out the window
Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go
Listen the birds sing
Listen the bells ring
All the living are dead, and the dead are all living
The war is over and we are beginning

Continuing the unintentional theme of getting out of bed, lol. This song feels so theatrical and epic, the way it builds up from the simple beginning... and this is a pretty positive song for this band. xD I was thinking about posting "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead" but that one's got enough personal connotations that I'd want to make a whole post out of it... so maybe later in the month, if song a day actually wins out.

Now: off to the minivan, to Massachusetts, to New Bedford and oh my god please please please to a hotel and not an air mattress on my aunt's floor.

I leave you with a baby firefox:

D'awwwww. Red pandas ftw.
