I am shoving once more at my Narnia playlist/fanmix-in-progress. Narnia, in this case, actually refers to the country and not the fandom in general -- in theory the playlist is supposed to be a "day in the life," and thus largely instrumental and chosen on mood. Which, because of my tastes in instrumental music, tends toward Celtic and folk. There are a couple of songs with lyrics on the list so far, but the vast majority of songs with lyrics are at the bottom of the playlist, which translates largely to "probably not going on the mix."

The slight disadvantage to all this is that eventually everything starts to sound the same. I had some Middle Eastern instrumentals on the playlist at one point, but most of them have come off because they don't sound Narnia-like enough.

...it's suddenly sunny. It is like a call to my blood to go bake. Yeah, I have no inclination whatsoever to bake when it's raining and miserable out, which is probably why I've barely baked at all the past few days. BUT IT IS SUNNY AND I NEED TO BAKE. *goes*

I really need to watch the back half of BSG S4 just so I stop saying things like, "Evan Lysacek is the last Cylon!"

(Really, I have nothing against Evan Lysacek, but the last season of Dancing with the Stars has convinced me that he is clearly a robot masquerading as a human being. He is getting better at it, though!)

On the other hands, all the Cylons have so far been better at pretending to be human than Evan, so maybe not.

I like to think of Dante's Peak as "James Bond and Sarah Connor fight Mother Nature and Mother Nature wins."

(For bonus sci-fi/genre fun times: Elizabeth Hoffman, a.k.a. Catherine Langford in Stargate SG-1, is also present, but Mother Nature really wins there.)

I passed through the town where they filmed Dante's Peak a couple of years ago -- nice little Idaho town, although the movie itself is set in Washington, up around where I live, though probably a little more north along the Cascades. There's a rumor that recurs every few years that part of the movie was actually shot in Ellensburg, mostly because when the pyroclastic cloud is destroying the town, there's a street corner that looks identical to one in downtown Ellensburg. But I see they've taken that rumor down from both IMDB and Wikipedia since the last time I googled the movie.

You know, if I'd remembered I liked volcanology a couple of years ago, I'd be a geology major right now desperately trying to get an internship with the USGS instead of a MEMS/Classics major. (This actually is the sort of thing I forget.) For a huge chunk out of my life, I was going to be a scientist, volcanology or paleontology.
