Title rambling and downloads

[castalie]

Just realised that we're the 22nd! Joyeux Anniversaire to whitevanilla. Hope you'll have a fantastic day! Also hope you're really feeling better by now *hugs*

I have the title for my fic! I'm so cool [/self-congrats] Can you imagine how fucking difficult it is to actually find a theory/theorem/whatever when all you have is a vague definition that you made up based on some ideas you had in your slash story? So the hypothetical search would have been the following "brothers+lovers+mutually exclusive". At one point I even had a flashback of my physics classes back in high school --or was that junior high school-- with the whole Pauli exclusion principle thing... because it had cool cool stuff like identical fermions being unable to occupy the same quantum space and I was like okay if I twist it and turn it, it could maybe work, only no, it couldn't and anyway I wanted maths not physics, though wait, they did mention quantum physics in "Uncertainty Principle" so why couldn't I do it too, right? Except it still didn't work anyway and holy shit but why couldn't I just call my story the Don Fucked Charlie story and be done with it!

Also Mathematicians? Really don't speak like normal people. They speak mathematicianese only! So I'm browsing sites where I'm hoping to find some nice definitions of whatever principle I might fancy trying, read definitions I'll be able to understand and instead of using, you know, words they use shit like : - and I'm like, why, now that makes total sense, thank you so much. Btw? I hate you. Oh and this is the Schrödinger equation in case you're wondering. Next time someone says you don't learn anything useful in my LJ, please be so kind as to direct them to this post. Except useful? Might be too strong a word for that kind of stuff, but whatever.

Anyway, since I'm on the subject of Numb3rs fic, I'm pretty happy to rec a new one here, written by none other than audrarose, namely The Arms of the Galaxy which is a beautiful story with a wonderful characterisation. I absolutely love it. Go on, click!

Changing the subject now [aren't you glad?] I'm uploading Japanese songs for babycakesin and I uploaded a first batch at YSI yesterday [and it felt so good being able to play with the site again, yay!] - since I'd hate for them to go to waste, I'm sharing them here too.

Batch of Sakamoto Maaya's songs: charming voice, beautiful and sometimes haunting tunes. If you're familiar with anime, you might recognise some of those.

Sakamoto Maaya - Midori no Hane
Sakamoto Maaya - Hashiru
Sakamoto Maaya - Aoi Hitomi
Sakamoto Maaya - Hemisphere
Sakamoto Maaya - Hikari no Naka
Sakamoto Maaya - Kaze Ga Fuku Hi

And since I was there, I also uploaded two French songs from the band Indochine. They started their career in 1981 [they were in their twenties at the time] but they're still alive and kicking. First song is from 1983. Second is from 2001. Different songs, different styles but I like them both *g*

Indochine - L'Aventurier
Indochine - J'ai demandé à la lune

Actually no, I don't *g* Twenty years is really a long time in a career, in particular in the music industry, so the fact that they're still alive and kicking, ie the band, was note worthy *nodnod*

[aswanargent.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, right, it was the age of the BAND you were talking about. Nothing at all to do with the age of the band MEMBERS, oh no ....

Hmmmpphhh!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Of course not! I mean, would I do something like that? *innocent look*

[aswanargent.livejournal.com]

I was just trying to decide how to answer your other comment (you know, the *sticks tongue* one). Now it's *innocent look*? Anyone ever accused you of having a bit of a split personality, lol?

And, btw, you know how old I am (or you can figure it out from the information on my bio page), but how old are YOU going to be next birthday (just in case you've hit one of those milestones that call for special cards -- you know: 21, 30, 40, 50, etc.).

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Anyone ever accused you of having a bit of a split personality?

Hmm well now that you mention it, maybe once or twice.

The age question, okay so I don't know exactly how old you are but you say you're a Baby Boomer - I don't see you being born between 1946 or 1950 so I'd say you were born after 1950 but before 1965... Am I freezing?

As for me, no milestone. I'll be 26 *g* Also it made me smile because 21 wouldn't call for a Special Card here, though 18 would *g*

*Wanting to put this in tiny type, but not knowing the correct coding*

1950 (Metal Tiger)

:-(

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Well I wasn't so far off base - after all 'after 1950' included 1951, which is like 1950 you know? And I totally forgot to look after 'Baby Boomer' lol I literally stopped here or I would have found the exact date - Chinese astrology is cool like that. It'll teach me to actually read something til the end *sigh*

Also tiny font is < small >word< /small > only remove space.

Merci!

De rien *g*

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

What? You haven't seen her *wide eyes* yet? Just call her Sybil. *g*

[aswanargent.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm very familiar with the *wide eyes*, lol.

Sybil Eve, perhaps?

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

Sybil Eve, perhaps?

LOL!! Oh my...that's perfect!

[aswanargent.livejournal.com]

Yes, definitely, we can give her a hard time together. (With our canes and our walkers if it comes to blows ....)

Delighted to have made your acquaintance!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

With our canes and our walkers if it comes to blows

The real question is do you hear me fine or do I need to speak LOUDER? People your age... hearing isn't what it used to be.

*skedaddles*

You are really pushing your luck here, little girl!

Memo to self: During visit to France (hopefully next year), be sure to leave time to stop by Mouse's house and bop her over the head as punishment for elder abuse.

You mean you think you'll still remember by then?

*laughs*

*remembers she's still in mortal danger*

*runs away again*

Hopefully next year you say? Woohoo!

[aswanargent.livejournal.com]

Ahem, you may think you're safe because there's a whole ocean and a whole continent between us, but maybe I can get Aline to drop by on my behalf and explain to you about being polite to those older and wiser than you ....

Yeah, I seem to be seriously thinking about coming for a visit next year. I found myself in the bookstore last Saturday looking at travel guides to France. :-)

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

*somebody* needs a good spanking!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Did you ever know me not needing one?

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

:::ponders this:::

Ahem, *cough*, well now that you mention it...um...NO!

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan!

And I'm delighted to have met *you* was well.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Am I detecting mockery here? In my house LJ?

And I'll let you know the *wide eyes* isn't easy to pull, it requires skills *wide eyes*

See? And it's past 2.00 so it's not as wide-eyey as it could be.
