time flies... is it fun?

Yeah a new song -I like this one - it took me awhile to settle on what it means to me (and yes it is Dancer not Dancers and it refers to being a puppet - hence the cu the cord line) - actually I like it more because of my writing - I have this one scene in my head that goes with this song - two characters I have have met many times in previous lives - and with each incarnation they found each other, but then faced tragic death just as they found....

well the song Human by the Killers is used in the present day, when the two are dancing, it is a magic contest (they are witches in this incarnation) and well the one does not know she is a Muse witch - but the music and the magic come up during a dance contest and well, their past lives play, seeing small snippets, of them meeting, being happy and then dying.... it's a bit more complicated, but it is my scene hehehehe and my mind hehehe and I like complicated.... but the question are we human or are we dancer is cool

Wow Thanksgiving is next week - and boy where has time gone.... going to spend thanksgiving alone - I should go out to Denny;s or something and just watch who comes in a place like that on thanksgiving hehe - ah yes I love doing weird things

Got out last night to catch some live music - a good rock cover band, mainly 70s and 80s rock

Alrighty - gotta go do work - blah - laters


Human - The Killers

I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes
Clear your heart
Cut the cord

Are we Human?
Or are we Dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we Human?
Or are we Dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye
Wish me well

You got to let me go
Are we Human?
Or are we Dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answers
Are we Human?
Or are we Dancer?

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating?
Are we Human?
Or are we Dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer

You got to let me know
Are we Human?
Or are we Dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we Human
Or are we Dancer?

Are we Human?
Or are we Dancer?

Are we Human
Or are we Dancer?

Sunday Situations

Well put away the halloween stuff and little one wanted to do a bit of christmas I a like sheesh but we got out her Nutcracker collection (dang she has a lot of those and in different forms) and a couple of the other animated things and listened to Xmas music in the car

As we were unpacking, we were in the sunroom, which is all windows and looks into the backyard. We look and there is a squirrel on top of the little shed. There is a small tree growing next to the shed and some limbs overhang, well the squirrel plucks a berry from the tree and then goes to the very top and edge and sits there, nibbling like crazy, peeling the berry and eating the inside. It did this for about 6 berries and we just sat there watching it, it wa an awesome daughter mother moment

Later we were messing around in Walmart enjoying watching the people and checking out the displays.

Another neat things was what we stumbled into accidentally yesterday. We went to the mall after the brownie outing, was just messing around and we hear music - it is a band, full band, going through the mall because Santa was coming, yup we got to see the arrival of Santa, complete with tons of costumed characters, mrs claus pom pom girls and music hehe - I like happy accidents and it was fun to watch

Alright - off to watch the Mummy 2

The Week That Was

Actually week was not too bad - although have tests in all of my classes which means enormous piles of grading.... I hope to wade through it all by tomorrow night

Been watching this new show, although it is not so new - Sanctuary. It is new because it "premiered" on Sci Fi channel in October - not so new because it has been around for over an year - it premiered as a Web show - which is where I fell in love with it and its main character, Helen Magnus.

I had found an RP group - put together by a person who interviews a lot of the actors associated with the show as well as hlpeing to maintain the main fan site.

Well we finally started the RP about a month ago and wow - I got to meet a lot of cools people, from all over (this side of the Atlantic and the other as well) - and the stories and writing is cools - I play Helen Magnus (Yipeee I am loving here, the actress Ms. Tapping and the RP Helen) and a made up - Oliver, a Cabal member who is making trouble for Sanctuary.

What's interesting is they took the web episodes and redid them for the tv - so they took something old and made it new, and then in the RP, we use a lot of general storylines from other shows, specially X Files and twist them around - it's great...

Took little one to a Brownie outing this morning - girls from all over NJ came together to earn two Badges - Games and a Music one - it was fun and the leaders got to play along as well - it was fun, the only sad part - we found out this morning, last night the house of one of our brownies caught on fire, house and car gone, but all members alive... can you imagine that happened.... I truly can not...

Been raining a lot - but a bit warm, although I think they said snow flurries maybe MOnday - AAAGGGGGGG the white stuff returneth

Used a poem in one of my Helen replies - it kinda... fits the way I am and what I think and feel lately - I am also putting down the companion - in a sort to it, it fits too. So often people forget Edgar Allen Poe wrote poetry as well

A Dream With in a Dream by Edgar Allen Poe

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep - while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

A Dream by E. Poe
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep - while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?


He actually wrote a lot about dreams... try Dreamland too - I like that one
