Coming Up for Air

[jackofallgeeks]

Well, as ever, being out on break pretty much killed my usual persistent presence online. And I keep meaning to give an update on how my vacation went, but I keep not getting to it. Highlights:

I love my cousins. Some of them are becoming real people now, and it's fascinating.

It was great to see my brothers again. We didn't have nearly enough brother0moments (things that would get 'Brothers Three' tags), but it was awesome. Four of the five of us drafted two boxes of Magic cards.

My nieces and nephews are getting really big! Stephanie is frighteningly aware sometimes, which is something coming from a guy who expects more than most from kids.

I saw nearly all of my past romantic interests in two weeks. It was really cool, and really good for me, too.

I saw my very good friends all in one place, and had two of them stay the night.

I saw more of Louis in two days than in the whole of the last two years (well, OK, that might be a slight exaggeration; it wasn't quite two days).

I love my cousins.

But, the real reason that I got on here: my friend Megan (Jasmydae, not ElwenLassriel, who is in fact 'Meghan') was talking to me about musics and stuff tonight and noted that Frou Frou did a version of 'Holding Out for a Hero' on the Shrek 2 soundtrack, to which I noted that I loved the song (and have ever since it being in both 'Short Circuit' and 'Who's Harry Crumb?'), and that I kept meaning to see if I could find the version that's actually played in the movie -- to which she noted that it's done by Jennifer Saunders (reasonably so, as she's the Fairy Godmother) and showed me where to get it.

So, yes, love and cookies to Megan. And bed to me; classes start tomorrow, and I really don't want to go.

Yeah for real! I'm heading back to philly on saturday, and until then I have to recover from this godforsaken illness, but it was great to catch up an hang out, though I thought you bought too much food :(.

Holding Out for a Hero? Oh, I love it. I now have versions by Jennifer Saunders, Frou Frou, and Bonnie Tyler. I love it.

Yeah I just stole the link from megan's comment. I have heard this before, I think it was the Bonnie Tyler version. How is the frou frou version?

*smiles* Well, it sounds like you had a nice break. I'm glad for you. Considering that you only had two weeks, you certainly got a lot of visit and fun and such accomplished. I hope you have a good and productive school quarter.
