Half Life

Tonight’s preoccupation is the song Half Life by Imogen Heap.

This half life focuses more on the literal meaning than the one involving isotopes and radioactivity. The meaning of which revolves around a person feeling like her life is incomplete because of an attachment to another person whom she can never be with, or ever have at all as a whole for, quite unfortunately, he doesn’t give her the time of day. Her sad devotion is near-blind that she doesn’t care that she knows about his infidelity. She is very, very aware of this, and [no matter how much she tries] she can’t let him go completely even when he eventually leaves.

Or dies.

The dramatic interpretation of the last verse is interesting.

long for one last showdown from a box in a crowd
air compressed tight to explode
i’m clenching my ticket to the only way out
as you disappear in a puff of smoke

I like to think that just as she plans to leave him, he preempts her move by dying. Or leaving first.

Bastard.

I love Immi. <3

Paper Boats

My mind is in a jumble right now. While part of it is on plans for the new site design, another is on the bag of Twix sitting on the kitchen counter, and yet another is on whipping out the pretty art paper and folding small paper boats to float in the toilet bowl just for fun.

Instead, I shall write down a list of… things. While eating Twix.

Nevermind that. I formed sentences from songs I listened to while shuffling my iTunes library: I’ll never get over you getting over me. More than this: we suck, Pat McGee is better. On the way, whisper always on your side out of my head set adrift on memory bliss. Lady, it’s good to be in love.

I’d say that makes perfect sense.

Strange Fate

It’s thanks to searching desperately that I have found and read the whole Night World series after ten years of doing nothing about it. Well.. the whole of it so far. LJ Smith is taking her sweet, sweet time with the very last of the books, Strange Fate, saying that it will “hopefully” be out in winter of 2010.

Considering how the plot of the series has steered to the end of the world, I suppose she has had trouble writing the last book since the world didn’t really end at the year 2000. Then again, there’s still 2012. How creepy.

But still. Eleven years since the last book…!!! Eleven years waiting for closure with this teens book. >o>!
