It's gf's fault - again

After it was her fault that our fake/dream generated kids are named Rübezahl and Hotzenplotz, gf's now also responsible for my growing nostalgic procrastination attempts.
She gave me this link to render me unable to get work done for University.
I'm now alphabetically working through MTV's music video directory looking for old pop up videos and other stuff with nostalgic value.
I'm still at A and here is my fav "A" video:
Tori Amos - Strange little girl




Tori has a lot of videos I love to watch, like Spark or 1000 Oceans, Jackie's Strength and A Sorta Fairytale...so I chose Strange little girl for no apparent reason, except that I love how David Slade draws the hunter and the hunted...

i'm still working on my paper and i'm reaching a limit of my concentration skills. then again, limits are there to be pushed, right?
also I'm kinda pushing my red bull drinking limits a bit. here's to you, dietrich mateschitz, hero of students around the world...

I also can't decide whether it's better to pull an all-nighter or to go to bed now and start fresh tomorrow...10 pages to fill with half-way decent content. I guess I'll be working tonight and tomorrow. plus I have to leave the house to get to work...if I had time to sleep I'd have nightmares about the piles of work in my office...

I'm listening to tori to keep me from falling asleep

a restaurant that never has to close
breakfast at every hour
it could save the world

Tori| Purple people

I so love this song, but i consider it music to listen to after midnight...sultry, elusive, and simply genius.

Tori meets Ani

never before have I had a phase in which Ani and Tori have met.
Usually it's one or the other, I never thought that they go together well and I was always of the opinion that they represent different parts of my life.
tori is in charge of the real powerful emotions I usually can't deal with. love, sorrow, sadness, basically everything that makes me cry because of its overwhelming beauty or pain.
ani is in charge of all things action, empowerment, political, etc. I knew that both had songs that fell more into the others' department but I'm thinking fluid boxes here...

And today, there's a premier. and it's Ani and Tori meeting in my headphones. I like it, they go good together. One fueling my motivation to finish my work for uni, the other fueling my motivation to curl up and cry. this may sound twisted, but well,...we're still talking about me here.

a new era

watching some aol sessions with tori amos, especially the Q&A I eventually figured out, why some poeple always get to answer the same questions over and over again.
They are not interesting. Tori gets asked about her opinion on stuff, politics and so on. She hardly ever comes to the point of having to draw a line for her privacy's sake.
Then watching Avril L.'s session I was just so bored. The ever same questions with the ever same answers. I know I'm talking pianos and guitars here but I needed that to enlighten me. yes, sometimes I'm slow.

aaanyway. tori did it again. this time not gf, she bewitched my friend d. who i tried to convince of tori's genius for quite some while. she went to a concert yesterday and was blown away. calling me afterwards almost tongue tied. and if you knew her, then you'd know that almost tongue tied with her is silent for a couple of years for somebody else.

I feel strangely approved (if that is the correct term), content in any way.

plus it's my last day of uni for summer. tomorrow we'll do some serious cleaning and then summer is officially here. I can start catching up on tv-shows, listen to music, commence my jodie-foster-summer-sessions, refurbish, read, play computer games, maybe take up on playing the guitar since i don't have a piano anymore...oh the possibilities!

tori amos

yesterday's concert was brilliant as expected and as always. And as much as I would love to see her more often. my bank account is rather happy that she's not coming to vienna so often.
gf and I left € 170,- at the concert. Tickets and merchandise. I guess that's a lot, but now these t-shirts and buttons and the poster are ours. ours. ours.

i was just wondering...why did tori come in june? doesn't she know that I have to do shitloads of work for uni? doesn't she know that I have such a hard time getting anything done for a couple of days after her concerts. how rude! :)
