Well, we got the necessary done by 7pm, and Manager's #1 child is being part of Background Scene for a tv series on monday, so I don't need to be in on Monday either.

Considering it worked out at only a 46 hour week, I'm exhausted. Mind you, a normal week is only 30 across 4 days.

I'm too braindead even to watch Buffy (season 2, borrowed from snapesbabe) so I'm engaging in a futile search for WK fanfic that doesn't treat Farfarello as a retarded near-animal only capable of saying a couple of sentences, or YnM fic that doesn't appear to have been written by 12 year olds who believe that "and they kissed and it was All Better!!!" is an acceptable resolution to a page-long story about two mortal (immortal? whatever) enemies. But maybe I struck lucky in finding daegaer, mami_san and lady_jaida at the outset.

And I'm putting together a "So beautiful it hurts" playlist. Does anyone have any ideas what I should put on it? It's not necessarily a maudlin feeling-sorry-for-myself list; more things that can take my mind off almost anything else, like Hallelujah (kd lang), Possession (Sarah McLachlan), My Immortal (Evanescence) and Father & Son (Cat Stevens). Go on; inspire me.

I love Sarah McLachlan; almost all of her songs could be tagged so beautiful it hurts.

A lot of the tracks on Within Temptation's The Silent Force album might be what you're looking for: Pale, Angels, Somewhere, Memories, The Swan Song. What else? Something from The Cure's Disintegration. ♥

There might be some good suggestions here, though there are folks whose tagging defies all logic and concepts of music.

I've heard of precisely none of those... And yes; I agree that "beautiful" isn't something I'd ever think of at the same time as some of those Last.fm suggestions.
