EIGHT DAYS OF HAPPY! | prev. days: 01 | 02 | 03 | 04

Happiness: Day Five
It is the birthday of a certain dogeared today, and I wrote fic to celebrate it! Also, Finn would like to snorfle Jenn over the internets:



Also, I discovered a new artist through crazy_celebrian's really beautifully awesome Cas/Dean fanmix, Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground. Amanda Palmer rocks the piano and I love her voice, just on this side of smoky, and very expressive. If you like Tori Amos, I imagine that you'd probably like her--apparently Neil Gaiman does, because he's writing the text to the photobook accompanying Who Killed Amanda Palmer.

If you think you might like her, check out "The Point of It All," which is my favorite song on her album. [Download!!] And also check out crazy_celebrian's mix above for her cover of Death Cab for Cutie's "I Will Follow You into the Dark," but only if you're prepared to start crying because oh my god is it heartwrenching and beautiful.

So yay! Fic! Dog! Music! It's Friday!

*pets yours*

How old is your puppy? My lil' ol' man will be eleven in June.

My black dog is eight, I think. The vet isn't quite sure because Finn is a rescue, but he's somewhere between 7-8 years old :) (Of course, he acts like he's two, still...)

Finn is the most adorkable ever.

I'm so glad people are starting to pick up on Amanda Palmer's awesomeness; I discovered her a couple of months back, and I think she's utterly wonderful. Have you heard 'Oasis'? Or 'Coin Operated Boy'?

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Finn licks you thank-you!

And I really love her a lot! I'm happy I stumbled across her. Who Killed Amanda Palmer has "Oasis" on it, but I haven't yet heard "Coin Operated Boy." More music to find! :D

Aww doggy licks! I miss my mostly-black dog. :( She lives with my parents; small apartments are not good places for collies. And my very own proper black dog died about 8 years ago now. *pats Finn*

I have a gorgeous Who Killed Amanda Palmer print on my wall; she's just fantastic. Do you follow her on Twitter? That and her blog are worth a look. *nodsnods*

Awwww, yes, poor collie! When I first got Finn I had a kind-of small place, and I felt bad because, even though he spends most of the day passed out on the couch, there were times when he wanted to run around and really couldn't.

I don't follow Amanda on Twitter, mostly because I keep forgetting I have Twitter XD But I have started checking up on her blog!

[athousanderrors.livejournal.com]

Awww poor Finn. But he has lots of space now - and he's an LJ celebrity. Or at least, an aesc's flist celebrity.

Hee I know that feeling. I have her blog saved to read regularly though. :)

[aesc.livejournal.com]

*sigh* Now, if only he were a celebrity everywhere else... then maybe he could start paying his way around here ;)

Yeah, Willoughby was also adopted so his age is a guesstimate. the vet says he'll either be 10 or 11 on his next birthday. He's leaning more towards 11. At times, he too acts like he's still a puppy. Aren't they fun! :)

Black dogs are the best! \o/
