This Post Has No Title (Just Words and a Tune)

O, chì, chì mi na mòrbheanna,
O, chì, chì mi na còrr-bheanna,
O, chì, chì mi na coireachan,
Chì mi na sgòran fo cheò.

*contented sigh*

I'm wrestling awkwardly with the piece I'm trying to write for Witch Eye. I want to get it done by tomorrow so I can have ardaniel look it over for blithering. I should get back to doing work, but this has a deadline. Discipline! Parsheverance! Like Coronel Shandersh!

I should also do laundry. ... now, actually, if I expect to be fit to leave the house tomorrow. Well, that'll give me something to do other than stare at the next bit.

Today's major accomplishment was conceiving of and beginning the execution of Plotting and Scheming. Which I have discussed in detail with oneironaut and brooksmoses, as they will likely not be in the humor blast radius when it goes off. I am gratified by their responses.

I'm in class from noon to 4 your time tomorrow, but I'll be out after that, look it over, and fire it back. :)

It's coming out oddly. Probably a little closer to confessional than I wanted, but this shit is personal. (Do you have a preferred target address? Should I rummage in my files, or will sending it to your LJ address do?)

BTW, would you let me know when your friend's article about that comic goes up? I want to read it. I forgot to ask the other day when we were talking about it.

ardaniel dot sumhenner at gmail dot com works for me.

And personal work is a Feri Thing; I don't see where Witch Eye will have a problem with that. The question is, how personal are you willing to get in publication?

And yeah. weds should finish that article on or around November 16th (there's a timing issue involving a Prior Moratorium on discussing GPF on Websnark). I'll post when it's up.

The issue is more trying to balance the personal stuff out with the general thing, so it's got meat to it. I seem to have blithered my way to a sort of degenerate/negated pentacle, though.

It seems likely to fall under 'rants' rather than, y'know, 'articles', but that's okay!

Chi mi gun dail an taite 'san d'rugadh mi
Cuirear orm failte 'sa chanain a thuigeas mi
Gheibh mi ann aiodh agus gradh nuiar ruigeam nach
Reicinn air thunnaichean oir.

(Love that song)

Thank you. I now have an Elton John earworm.

*wry grin*

[kiya]

I win! :)

(If you have the obvious earworm, that song is one that I find strongly self-resonant.)

Ok, I can tell that's Irish (Gaelic) but I don't know what it says and I don't have my dictionary to translate it. :( What song is it?

[kiya]

Mist-Covered Mountains of Home. :} I think it's Scots Gaelic.

The recording of it I have is mostly in English until the end at which point it says, ". . . in the sweet-sounding language of home" and goes into the Gaelic, which is what it was originally written in.
