Music and other updates
Jul. 22nd, 2008 12:21 pmTwo songs, the first one composed by A.R.Rahman and the second one by Pritam Chakraborty. Please right click and save, and comment if you are :) I'd like to know whether you enjoy them:
Mayya Mayya Fast paced, very interesting mix of Middle-eastern style music with Indian and Western influences. The singer, Maryam Toller, is Egyptian Canadian and sounds quite wonderful, as do the backing vocals. This song always makes me want to dance.
In Dino (In Dino= these days) Kind of a sweet song with a lovely refrain, and rather charming lyrics. I don't know if it's made more charming by its context in the movie, but the first bit translates to something like: These days, my heart keeps telling me- Dream a few dreams and live a little/ You're allowed to fall in love too.
(If you enjoy these songs, more can be found by clicking on my 'music' tag.)
Am working on SGA bigbang and an SGA comic. It's slow going because my linework in general is not automatically suited to cleaner comic lines and so takes longer to accomplish. It features Cthulhu, which decision was totally unrelated to any tentacles anywhere in canon. I can't believe I actually had to give that disclaimer.
Also working on Wild West Winchesters. Mainly for the alliteration.
I illustrated a children's book a while back, and given how iffy the publishers were being I'd kind of assumed it was ultimately going nowhere. Just got verification that it is indeed going nowhere. At least I got paid for it, even if I'm certain I charged too little. I mainly feel sorry for the poor author now. *sigh*
ETA: On my brief weekend wandering around a big city and meeting fannish people, I would like to give a shout out to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
miss_porcupine who I managed to guilt into bringing me delicious home-made biscotti, rageprufrock, who leads a very interesting life, and pentapus who is unable to follow simple directions like checking her email and manages to blame me for it (♥ ♥ :P)
ETA2: Also,dotfic is too sweet to be real. As is innie_darling, who was completely nice about my major miserliness ♥.
