you're happy when i'm on my knees

I had some bad news on Wednesday night, and I've kind of been bzzzuh? ever since. So if I'm quieter than usual, that's probably why.

I have not been up to much. I finished Killing Bono, and now I am sad, because there is no more book.

I played a lot of Skyrim. My Dragonborn is a male Nord, and was meant to look like one Irish person and ended up like another, accidentally (I'm blaming it on the character creator not have fine enough controls, but I think the reason is I have the patience of a very impatient flea). I am level 14, have discovered most discoverable locations, and have not even met up with Max von Sydow yet. Because who needs to do the main plot, right?

I ordered a bunch of second-hand games from CEX, and wasn't expecting them till Monday or Tuesday, so I decided I would play NieR over the weekend. And then the games arrived today. I bought FIFA 14 (to see what the fuss is about); F1 2011 (wanted a racing game); Assassin's Creed (been meaning to try it forever); Saints Row The Third (this was only a quid); and Sacred 3 (never heard of it, but thought I'd try it out).

Anyway, I put NieR in the Xbox earlier, and I have done two jobs for Popola, which isn't very far into the game. I kind of wish it was set in tutorial land, but I'm sure it'll later be revealed why that isn't the case. I like the music in the library and the music for the North Plains, I think. I don't have anything else to say about it right now.

Music meme, questions 16 to 20:

16. One of your favourite classical songs

Classical as in classical music? Or classical as a golden oldie song? Anyway, here's Clair de Lune (Debussy) - this is the Flower, Sun, and Rain version, but here is the version by Isao Tomita as well.

(If anyone wants a golden oldie version of this, I will willingly provide an answer).

17. A song that you would sing as a duet on karaoke

I don't have a U2 one for this (for shame) | Mama Told Me Not to Come (Tom Jones and Stereophonics)

18. A song from the year you were born

October (U2) | Should I Stay or Should I Go? (The Clash)

19. A song that makes you think about life

I don't have a U2 one for this | Who Wants to Live Forever? (Queen)

20. A song that has many meanings for you

Ultraviolet (U2) | I do not have a non-U2 answer for this! For shame!

(all the questions)
