extrapenguinI completely missed the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing yesterday due to living ahead of the Americans, but: I discovered that Prometheus Records has an entire album devoted to space exploration! Here's one of the five "freebie" songs:
I bought the album, and I also like Big Blue Sky, Fire in the Sky, I Wanna Go to Mars, Star Fire, and Beyond the Sky, and I can see myself enjoying The Pioneers of Mars, If We Had No Moon, and Legends as restful evening songs.
Oh, and here's another space-related song:
(Seriously, I have been so bad at keeping track of dates. I even missed this year's Yuri's Night!)
On a more fandom-y front, I watched Mulan (2009) (engsubbed), and Zhao Wei is very hot when she's in her general garb, especially when she's all dirted up. Also all those speeches are so very inspiring, and the ending was excellent.
I also watched four episodes of Oh My General, also about a crossdressing woman general! This time, though, it's set after the General gets honored by the Emperor – she says that actually, she's a woman, so the Emperor marries her off to his wastrel nephew. Becuse General Ye Zhao is endearingly shallow and the nephew Zhao Yujin is a renowned beauty, she has absolutely zero problems with this. Unlike the groom. It's very much a comedy, and much is milked from Ye Zhao having no fucking clue how women are supposed to walk, act, or talk. She is super good at all the martial arts, and I ship her with her husband's concubines. (She said that since they're pretty women in the primes of their lives, they should not be afraid to dress in fancy clothes and wear jewelry and makeup; later two of the concubines oohed and ahhed over Ye Zhao's martial arts practice and declared that if the General were a man, they'd marry him.) Oh, and the show is very saturated, especially the blue clothes the Ye Army wears. I would also 100% wear every blue get-up of Ye Zhao's.
I made some quick and dirty icons of Ye Zhao, too:
Writing Rainbow: Blue assignments came out! I've been writing a fic all day. There's another request I had my eye on that I'll try to write a treat for tomorrow. In general, enrichment is good for the soul. <3
(I also solved an upcoming quibble with spaceship rental via an e-mail conversation withjo_lasalle! Today has been a good day.)
