and still no snow

First listening of the Vince Guaraldi Trio this season (the Charlie Brown Christmas music, yo). ♥♥♥~ Reminds me, I want to buy the animated Christmas special on DVD. Really would like to watch it each year. :x Also want to buy the black and white version of A Christmas Carol (not sure if the one I saw in gradeschool was the 1938 or the 1951 version; perhaps I should buy both ^^: )

Saw a poem yesterday when cataloging a book on Arabic, Persian, and Hebrew poetry:

I am the One whom I love, and the One whom I love is myself.
We are two souls incarnated in one body;
if you see me, you see Him,
if you see Him, you see us.

--Al-Hallaj (857-922)

If you think I--in addition to seeing its potentially religious meanings--had Kingdom Hearts thoughts, specifically pertaining to the concept of Sora and Roxas, you'd be right. Yes, I am a loser. But I do wish I could do an icon using the text, or at lest the last 2-3 lines of it.

Also: mildest, driest November ever. No snow, no ice, temps keep going above normal. Pretty much no rain, even. Is odd.

TSO concert tonight. w00t ♥

Awww, I wasn't expecting mail!! ^_^;; Wow, I was just thinking you could zip it and sendspace it to me, it would be much easier and less costly for you (sending mail to Japan can get kinda expensive, I think). But if you really wanna send CDs... wow, gosh. <3 Thank you sooooo soo much! ♥ ♥

Oh gosh, Mannheim Steamroller... I saw them live once, it was beyond amazing. I've been listening to them since I was in 6th grade; it just wouldn't be winter without them. Everything you listed sound absolutely amazing, and I'd love to have whatever you'd like to share! <3

CDs here are ridiculous! Even a regular, Japanese CD is normally priced around 3000 yen, and singles start around 900-1300 yen. It's absolutely insane, the price of entertainment here. ^_^

If I can zip (not sure I have the software to, I can unzip but I might need a paid and not freeware program to do so ^^; ) I can perhaps sendspace the Vince Guaraldi one. Would tide you over 'til I could mail CDRs since I know shipping internationally takes forever. But then I can send the rest as mp3 CDs. I'd do audio, but forgot how many there were XD; Will ship easier to cram a bunch of mp3s on a couple discs. Hope that's ok. :D

Have already ripped 'em off, I should be able to hit the post office Saturday am. Just would need a mailing type address if that's all right. I'm always mailing teh Kat-cucumber, so now I'm curious if Japan's a similar cost to ship to as Britain.

Also: that link you sent (Gaia XD I've never tried it, but I know many who play or have guilds)--that picture is *awesome*. ♥ Was it ok if I read the RP stuff? o_o; Because it's *really* neat, and I liked it very much. It something where I could share the link with Kat/semecucumber? (If you haven't already...) She would greatly, greatly love the AkuRoku-ness. Looks like it's going to be a cool story 8D I'll certainly cheer it on.

Absolutely, please share the love! I'm glad you like it!! ^_^ That girl is my muse, and quite possible the most adorable thing on the face of the earth. When I feed her lovins, she feeds me... muse-y type things. ;) If you have a Gaia account, share the link and join the guild, and tell her that I sent you. (Right now, Sora's Tale is the one she's doing for me, since I'm quite the rabid Reno fan.) :D
