Suggestions?

[kate_nepveu]

Meme time, from pnh. Suggest to me:

1. A movie.
2. A book.
3. A musical artist, song, or album.
4. An LJ user not on my friends list.
5. Something to do in the next two months.

(It would be helpful if you said why, too, at least for 1-3 and 5. (I can look at a user's journal on my own easily enough.))

Would you believe that _Donnie Darko_ was on an HBO channel today? I was dozing to football and it had already started, so I didn't attempt it, but the digital cable description was double-take inducing. As best I can recall, it was, "A hallucinatory rabbit tells a teenager that the world is coming to an end."

I love the summaries that you get on the digital cable guide.

I don't necessarily require plot in my books, though I admit that books about ordinary people doing ordinary things aren't exactly my cup of tea (hence all the genre reading). However, Sturgeon's Law applies everywhere and this looks promising--it'll go on the library list.

Sometime when I'm not all stuffed up, I will figure out why I can't get Amazon's sound samples to work. Their descriptions certainly sound like nothing else I've ever heard.

Well, actually--taking _O Brother Where Art Thou?_ as a starting point, in which direction do they move?

I'm throwing all the journal suggestions into a bookmarks folder for later reading at my leisure.

The silence thing is a really interesting suggestion, but it doesn't work that way for me, unfortunately--I end up losing words and having to fight to come back to being a social creature, it's isolating rather than centering. Occasionally I do need to go off and be by myself to recharge, but silence isn't an integral part of it, if that makes sense.

I've been really wanting to hibernate all this week, though, so it sounds appealing in that direction. =>

Thanks!

cable sometimes has fortuitous timing.

From O Brother they move into more contemporary rock-y sound. Not nearly as blue-grassy as my original description implied. Indie rock arising from bluegrass, I suppose, would be a good start.

I think that I'm not super social to start with, and so I see silence as a retreat. Losing my words seems a good thing in the face of what often seems to be too many commitments. I'm off to hibernate now.

Have fun with all your suggestions.

Silence

For me, it's _because_ I'm not a super-social person to start with--I'm afraid I'll never get back.

This _is_ fun--thank you for suggesting!
