Procrastinating with Automatons and eMusic!

Microstation is kicking my ass *pout* I'm still hoping to be done by Friday, but am so tired and frustrated. Blah.

In other news, I'm developing a morbid fascination with Automatons. I either like them or am seriously disturbed by them, but I can't tell which. The more I dwell on it, the more nervous I get about the Pirates in Disneyland. It's better for me to believe that it's really Johnny Depp in there, so if the Automaton HAPPENS to come alive and jump in my boat and drown me? At least I'll die happy.

I dunno, watch this video and tell me what you think? I'm in love with the kicky French soundtrack, and I'm good with the jazz monkeys but the rest gives me an eerie feeling in my tummy. I just don't know.



Finally my limited French has paid off, and I have discovered the song is "L'ombre et la lumiere" by Coralie Clement! She has a video too!



If you like her, you might like "Bia", who I've been obsessively listening to lately. I discovered her on eMusic and I love, love, love her. You can go here and preview her tunes (my faves this week are "Mon Amour", "Photo!", "La Nuit Les Masques" and "Complainte Africaine." It's a great album to cook dinner to!) Heck, sign up for an account if you're so inclined! (An annual membership is $95.95 and you get 50 downloads a month! TONS of classical, jazz, kid's and world music, but not your top 40 pop-scene... they're too cool for that!) No, they didn't pay me to say this, I just really enjoy picking my songs every month, it's like a little present! I like to think I'm getting to know eMusic pretty well, since this is my second year subscribing, so if you sign up and want suggestions on great albums, just ask!

Alright I think that's it for now. Time for some X-Files and bed!

Love y'all!
Gillian
