Oh, Tragedy
Plato was right, but not quite right.

Medium: Movie
Fandom: Perfect Creature
Subject: Silus
Title: Blood & Science
Notes: Character study for Silus, from the vastly underrated New Zealand horror film Perfect Creature. Contains 7 songs, mostly moody instrumental and mellow rock-types. It's a pretty quiet mix, and one that went completely for tone rather than lyrics. Also, it's about vampires. Full description and three fancy covers inside.

This is something a little different from what I've been posting. I present my newest fanmix, Things We Want to Do.

Do you remember
What things looked like when you were young?
The voice of an old friend
Or the notes to your first song
 
It's been a while now
Since you asked me to be
Your cat, your dog, your owl, or bumblebee
 
Lately I've been feeling like the day has come
You'll walk up to me and erase my memory
Can't wait to feel brand new
I can't wait to meet you again... friend
 
These Days - Nico
 
I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking
These days, these days
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to
 
The Dress Looks Nice on You - Sufjan Stevens
 
I can see a lot of life in you
I can see a lot of bright in you
And I think the dress looks nice on you
I can see a lot of life in you
 
Jynweythek Ylow - Aphex Twin
 
(instrumental)
 
Leaves in the River - Sea Wolf
 
As we walked the rain started
The leaves softened with every step
And all around us people slept
Alone with their dreams
 
The wind came down from up the plains
And blew the leaves all through the streets
I wondered how far leaves
Could really fly
 
Would they rest in suburb yards?
Or make it to the city?
Or would they end up in the river
Just to float away?
 
How Will You Survive? - Azure Ray
 
And your dreams they don't stay in your mind
They are hiding in the night
And you think that this will be alright
Because the lord he was here at one time
But when your blood is gone
How will you survive?
 
Hoquiam - Damien Jurado
 
Standing with my feet deep in the ground
Was I nothing but a landslide in your mind?
Am I no one until someone calls me out?
Are you just pretending when we talk?
 
You should have seen me
Keeping watch at dawn
 
Quiet - Rachael Yamagata
 
Goodbye
Don't cry
You know why
And it'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don't expect anything
 
Black Leaf Falls - Sea Wolf
 
I'll fall asleep tonight
See where they take me
Fly with the maple seeds
See if she wakes me
 
I saw you outside
The bathroom stalls
You were just standing there
Out in the hall
You turned your eyes to me
I felt it all
I'd love you anywhere
But Black Leaf Falls
 
On Your Porch - The Format
 
I was on your porch
The smoke sank into my skin
So I came inside to be with you
We talked all night
About everything you could imagine
'Cause come the morning, I'll be gone
And as our eyes start to close
I turn to you and I let you know
That I love you
 
All the Trees in the Field Will Clap Their Hands - Sufjan Stevens
 
If I am alive this time next year
Will I have arrived in time to share?
And mine is about as good this far
And I'm still applied to what you are
And I am joining all my thoughts to you
And I'm preparing every part for you
 
Neutral Ground - Sea Wolf
 
And here in the sky
lights flash before our eyes
I feel your warm hand
slipping into mine
and we lay and we wonder when
will I come around?
 
Do I know what you are feeling now?
 
Fair - Remy Zero
 
When I was sure you'd follow through
My world was turned to blue
 
When you'd hide
your songs would die
so I'd hide yours with mine
 
And all my words were bound to fall
I know you won't fail...
 
See, I can tell...

Bought this recently:



I have since removed the blue paper stuck to the bottom.

The listing called this item a light bulb, but I knew what it really was.



Crookes radiometer at Wikipedia.

I have recently become obsessed with Natural History prints. Although there are many authentic and reproduction prints available to buy, I can't afford them, so I have to make due with my own version.

Printed a copy of a natural history print and colored with water colors.



Also aquired a barometer/thermometer device. You may notice that it is an un-Godly 90 degrees in my room, as the air conditioning is broken.
