slipjig3A few random tidbits before turning in:
1) In the wake of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
figmentj selling her new-old Nissan a few weeks ago, we put up a Craigslist ad to sell her still-pretty-but-asthmatic Honda CR-V. This is apparently the cue for the entire known universe to throw shovelsful of unpunctuated and uncapitalized quasi-English communications into one's inbox. Good to know.
2)figmentj and I went to see The Hunger Games on Saturday with shadesong, yendi, sindrian, fiddle_dragon and the teenage daughters of above. I actually quite loved it, he said non-spoilingly, although I haven't read the books (yet); what I wasn't prepared for was getting mildly obsessed with it in the aftermath. This led me this afternoon to toy with the idea of writing a serious filk song based on the world in question—a plan that lasted exactly as long to find some of the tribute songs (pun anticipated but unavoidable) that are already out there, written and recorded by the true-at-heart fans. I am not capable of being that earnest.
3) The official Hunger Games soundtrack album, on the other hand? Shockingly good. It's got the Civil Wars, the Decemberists, the Carolina Chocolate Drops, Glen Hansard...hell, even the flippin' Taylor Swift stuff's not bad. Give a listen. (Speaking of, I seem to be developing a Civil Wars obsession to go with my Hunger Games obsession. Dig.)
4) I'm hungry. I'm going to go rectify that before I turn in. Thank you.
