Survival of the fittest

Welp. A couple of days ago, Muse's song "Survival" was announced as the anthem of this year's Olympics. Definitely no complaints from my end; I've spent hours on end going through their albums. Absolutely love their stuff. It did come as a bit of a surprise though! 

Some other Muse-ic that I particularly enjoy: 

Jan to June tunes

A bit of what the first half of this year sounded like (in a somewhat chronological order):

1. Talking Bird by DCFC
2. I'll Follow You Into the Dark by DCFC
3. Two Birds by Regina Spektor
4. Your Hand in Mine by Explosions in the Sky 
5. I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You by The Black Kids
6. Nobody Waiting for Me by M. Craft 
7. The Point of No Return from The Phantom Of The Opera 
8. Firefly by Ed Sheeran
9. Towers by Bon Iver 
10. Mr. Tambourine Man by Bob Dylan
11. Video Games by Lana Del Ray 
12. A Little Fall of Rain from Les Mis
13. Hymne a l'Amour by Edith Piaf 

and now listening to Regina Spektor's album What We Saw From the Cheap Seats (really enjoying Ne Me Quitte Pas, and Oh Marcello). also this: 

Latest obsession

Aileen linked me to her song Video Games and after realising my addiction, I decided to dust off my tablet.

Just a reminder:

Amidst the chaos and panic of exams, now would probably be a good time to watch this again. It puts things into perspective - not that what's happening isn't important. He is so inspirational. Many late nights have been spent prowling the dusty corners of youtube for Carl Sagan videos. I can't wait to have a Cosmos marathon after HSC ...

Jonsi, from Sigur Ros, has also been helping me keep my wits about today. I'll have to buy his album later. His music is so painfully beautiful ): Listening to their music makes me want to learn Icelandic and fly there to live by the mountains and glaciers. Maybe pat some mountain sheep.

Shall resume my maths past papers now.

Cya later, escalators. Lyrical genius right here.

If x were a potato, it'd be a good potato

If modern history were a dish of mashed potatoes it'd be a good dish of mashed potatos. (I like mashed potatoes)

Except it's served in a bad restaurant with bad customer service, so I'm not particularly fond of this dish right now.

Some people ordered this dish last year and decided ultimately not to have it, and I'm somewhat envious because now they don't have to sit through this horrifying dining experience.

GRR.

I've been seeing this potato/melon analogy in the comments of random song videos on utub. Since I've successfully changed the topic to music, here is a list of motivational/inspirational music. I'm probably going to die over the next 3 weeks and I just need to make sure that I do it like a bad ass.

1.

Best.

2.

Because we are, and Freddie Mercury looks great in that leotard.

3.

My favourite from the album, actually. So motivational (when treadmilling as well, hah).

4.

How could I not?

5.

6.

OK BYE.
