A day behind is actually good for me.

First of all, and certainly of greatest import - a fantastic birthday to walkingshadow, who turned the big 2-1 yesterday. It's a pleasure to have her as my partner in crime, Broadway musical recital, fandom, Trivial Pursuit and concerted slackerdom alike. She'll never Baker Act me, is ever-amenable to ice cream, and hands-down one of the acest kids there is. Love you, babe, always.

We actually began celebrations Monday night with Smirnoff Triple Black and Krispie Kreme doughnuts obtained on my walk home from work. Good times as we chilled in her room, passing the can back and forth and just talking, who can remember what about just now, but yes.

By some small token or mercy, our Editing assignment was an extra credit Copy Editor's crossword puzzle. Subsequently holing up in Einstein's was a fabulous idea as well, and I got to experience the power of coffee. I've never drunk it to stay awake before, but I went from near sleep to fully conscious in about five minutes, something being awake for over three hours hadn't done. Mmm, vanilla hazelnut goodness.

You've already heard about our anti-climactic Swamp outing and the subsequent parcel which was anything but. It might still make me grin just to think about it.

Man, the sound quality of my bootleg recordings? I could dance with how glad I am to have JC singing Let's Go Crazy preserved for posterity, and that outrageously well.

Some way I could grab it off you? Pretty please? I'm on Akasha1128 on AIM, if you please. *puppy eyes*

Wow, I could've sworn those were distributed a fandom and a half wide. You can download allegedly "cleaned up" versions of them (though I hear no difference) on *NSYNCLand's Web site, or I can hook you up when I get home from work tonight (around 1 a.m., EST). But yes, you must hear!

I got all of them but I don't think NSYNCland has Let's Go Crazy, because I grabbed all the files, and I don't remember that one being there. :(

Let's try this Friday or Saturday night, then, ok? I get up at 5am so I'm a loser who goes to bed at 10pm EST. Thank you so much! :D

I need to email you about that. *lol* But yes, "Let's Go Crazy" is a must have so THANK YOU for getting it (and getting it so good). :) *hugs*

I've got it ready, I just need labels. [/cryptic] ;)

I was studying yesterday and it came up on WinAmp and I'm all, really? No really, the recording is that good? Outrageous! *g*

Oh! Also, my best friend and I are driving down from Gainesville to go home for Spring Break and definitely stopping in Orlando one way or another, so if you'd be amenable (and available, of course) we'd love to meet up for lunch.

Ooh! What day were you thinking for lunch? Most days I don't work until mid afternoon so lunch would definitely be doable, I was just curious as to what day you were thinking. You can email me or just let me know somehow. *lol*

And thank you! :)

Saturday. Let me know when you start work and we'll plan around that to have enough time to eat... perhaps in one of the parks, if that hasn't become to your distaste just yet? *g*

[tortugagypsy.livejournal.com]

I take it you mean the 6th, so I start work at 3pm. (If you mean the 13th, I have that Saturday off.) I'm all up for hitting a park, but I'll warn you that I can't get any perks. *lol* CPs don't get shit.

I'll email you my cell number. :)

My friend has to be home in time for dinner, so we were pretty much just thinking to swing by for food and maybe a bit of park romping - I just assumed you could get people in for free, but if not, we can hit up something at Downtown Disney or somewhere on I-Drive - it would just be nice to see you again. :) I got your text - I'm in the kitchen right now making cookies and other stuff, but I'll get back to you in a little bit with more details, 'k? Let me know about the park admission and we'll go from there.

PS - I can call off tomorrow (which trust me, I wouldn't mind *lol*) but if I do that I won't be able to go to any of the parks.

I am listening to Schizophrenic on endless repeat these days, and am delightfully anticipating the day when I have every lyric committed to memory so I can bust out your fabulous live recordings again. I want to sing along with him the next time I listen. *g*

I think Let's Go Crazy was just a particularly wonderfully captured track - whereas Build My World and some others had the heavy bass and other songs had too much screaming or whatever else, this song is heavy on the guitar elements and vocals, and it just sounds amazing, like it did live. *hugs it tight*

I can barely keep from singing along even not knowing the lyrics! *g* Though with this album, it's good to watch out how public a place you're in, eh?

[tallories.livejournal.com]

I think they're all wonderfully captured. ;) But beyond that, once I'm familiar with the studio tracks, listening to your live recordings again will be like getting an all-new version. And for me, that's fabulous. More anticipation! *hugs* This album's gonna last forever!
