to reach happiness
The other day, I was watching Avatar: The Last Airbender (which, by the way, is a fantastically entertaining show) with my roommate when one of the characters commented: “After all…love is brightest in the dark.” My roommate agreed with this statement. I, however, still don’t quite understand still.
Boyfriend is being useless in helping me discern its meaning.

[MUSIC]
Aside from the fact that my musician life doesn’t afford me much time to watch the television but my life revolves obscenely around Battlestar Galactica anyway, there are not many television shows on air today that I like consistently.
Gilmore Girls was fantastic for a few seasons until they got too much into the drama factor.
Kim Possible was one of the most brilliant cartoons in recent years except for that one small nagging fact that it was a product of the Disney Channel, thus forever doomed to massive amounts of embarrassing merchandising, masturbatory character and casting choices and – well – scorn. Poor Kim will probably never achieve the promising heights her character has, and may never receive as much acclaim as she deserves as a creation, because she is a Disney Channel tool and so many possibilities (no pun intended) would be ignored in lieu of catering to tween brains. May the upcoming renewal prove me wrong.
Firefly and Futurama were both previously canceled so I won’t talk about them and how they are proof that the FOX channel had absolutely no idea, until the last two years or so, how to do things.
…but moving on – I never appreciated the entertainment that was Scrubs when it first came out. But after being recently introduced to it by friends, I found myself watching reruns faithfully and loving every minute of the characters’ dysfunctional-yet-functional lives. Over Christmas break, a friend generously donated his collection of Scrubs soundtracks to me and they’re ingenious.
Thus, today I present two particularly beautiful songs off the Scrubs season 2 soundtrack and some other random songs that stuck out to me as I scanned over my music list in the “browse” window.
Enjoy! (again, all songs uploaded into savefile.com)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ [Half] – G Tom Mac
+ [Cindy] – Tammany Hall NYC
+ [Sakura no Toki] – aiko
- happy and rather jazzy Japanese pop. This song stuck with me from the moment I heard it and has never really left me since…
+ [Endless World] - Koichi Sugiyama (from String Quartet Dragon Quest)
- This two CD set of selected songs from DragonQuest games I-VII is one beautifully arranged album. I really can’t say much more than that except that everyone should take a listen. This piece is one of my favourites off the album, and not just because I get to play this piece with my band…
