i may be a bird in a cage but at least it's your cage

things, in a numbered list:

1. livejournal, what are your favorite instrumental scores, from movies or tv? bear mccreary's battlestar galactica (2003) score (both s1 and s2, and one of the things that i was most excited about for season three? NEW SCORE MUSIC) is one of my favorite things to write to, and i also very much enjoy joel goldsmith's stargate scores and howard shore's lord of the rings scores, but i don't know how to find others that i would like.
   
   [throughadoor, i really loved the track from the fountain on your end-of-the-year mix; is the rest of the score that good?]
   
   HELP ME, LIVEJOURNAL, YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE! good instrumental scores: what are they, and will you send them to me?
   
   
2. the other day, i hid my bundles on delicious and ordered by tags by frequency, just to see what my most-used tags were. ( talky talky about my top ten most used delicious tags )
   
   
   
3. i have, of late, become completely obsessed with the database backend that runs itunes -- how does it index? how does it update the xml that stores your library? IS IT SMARTER THAN ME OMG. this is in part because i am picking back up a summer project to listen to and rate every song in my library (i only have 2800 left to rate! that seems like a lot until you know that i have something like 7300 songs in my itunes library) and in part because in last semester's hideous database class of doom, i had to do a project on how audio files are stored in databases. that class has ruined my life in more than one way, i tell you what -- every time i rate a song, i think, but how does it know to DO THAT? how does the searching work in the index? IS IT A DENSE OR NON-DENSE INDEX BY SONG NAME?
   
   then i want to lie down on the floor and cry, because i am a HUGE NERD.
   
   
4. i'm hoarding all the fic i've finished since the holidays for 14valentines, and i'm having a very hard time with the hoarding and the waiting -- i have two finished stories sitting on my hard drive, plus another that needs to go to beta sometime soon, and three that are half-finished, and i want to post them noooooooooow. thankfully, february is closer than it feels. which is also sort of a depressing thought.
   
   
5. ( sg-1 10x11: the quest, part two -- not really spoilerly but cut in case )
   
   

today i am: a) hungover; b) exhausted; c) possibly getting sick. NOT ON, BODY. of course, all the red wine i drank during the second half of the carolina/virginia game didn't help.
