Reasking: recommendation for what Vienna Teng cd to buy first (I have Warm Strangers mp3ified)?

*

I only just survived work. When I got up this morning I was so tired I felt like crying. And had to get up and walk around a few times at work to keep myself awake.

But another fortnight/pay period I've done my full hours. That's a month, four weeks in a row, of doing my full hours. I am superwoman :)

Thursday was funny. I don't normally work it, and I walked in around my old side and K looked at me strangely and said, "What are you doing here?" :)

I am just a tad excited about finding Barry Jones' autobiography. And annoyed I didn't know till I just saw it in the ABC cattledog. Costs a pretty penny though. A few years back I considered writing to Barry Jones and asking him to write his autobiography...or if he didn't want to do it, let me! Yes, I was younger and stupider...but I so wanted to hear his story.

And everybody reading this either has no idea who I'm talking about or can't stand him.

And I think my dvd player just exploded. There were these popping sounds coming from the direction of the tv/dvd/vcrs, I looked and couldn't find anything. More popping sounds. The tv turned on okay, the vcrs played okay, the dvd player turned on okay...but it smells. I've unplugged everything until dad can look at them in the morning. Damn dvd player, it's only just over a year old and has barely been used. I had to buy it to replace the previous one in which the power supply carked it. I only paid $60 for it, but still.

You are a superwoman *g* That's actually a brilliant achievement Kat - we should make you a cape

Popping DVD players . . . I'm sure there's something creative to be said there, but I'm about to go paint an umbrella gold before sequining it, so . . .

I need a new CJ icon

Oh, cape! :) Thank you. And with marking Tuesday and Wednesday, it was more like a full week. I really need at least one day during the week where I can sleep in and put my feet up.

Hope the umbrella looks lovely.

*g* Yay you!

And the umbrella was lovely. Except I roped in a parent and her 2 girls to sequin it for me, while I set up other thingamajigs . . .

YAY for working a full month! :-)

Remember this when you say you're not getting better. *hugs tightly*

I'm trying to be more positive about things.

Hi, sorry for the randomness - I'm Catherine (sent here by way of

darkrefuge a la Pretender lj comm) who poked me when she saw Vienna Teng pop up. And she knows Vienna owns a part of my soul, so... if you're bent on buying them, I'd recommend going in order - Waking Hour, Warm Strangers, Dreaming Through The Noise - just because it's really interesting to listen to the way her music evolved, and yet maintains all of the orginal things you love about the first album. And I have absolute favourites off every album, so it's hard to say which is the "best." They're all amazing. And, if you're not bent on buying them, I have all three and would be more than happy to upload a zip file for you. ^^

And also, you like vienna and pretender AND west wing, and therefore you are amazing. Just so you know. :)

Hehe! Thank you :) Been getting back into Pretender with the dvds. Even wrote a little in the fandom for the first time since back when the show was actually on.

Thank you for the offer. I'll start with the first one then. I'm still a cd type of girl :) However, I'd love it if you could do a zip for the third album, just so I have them all on hand. Thank you very much.

Unfortunately my fandom allegiance has switched almost entirely to House as of late, but Pretender will always have a warm, snuggly place in my heart, and my tapes/dvds/dvds in foreign languages will never leave the shelves :)

That's awesome, that you still actually buy CDs. I'm too cheap. And lazy. ;) And I'll zip the third album for you asap. ^^

You are indeed Superwoman!

A very tired one ;) Thank you, Hon.

I've just got some random mp3s of Vienna's so I cannot make any recommendations re particular albums, but I just wanted to cheer. And if you'd like I will upload "The Athiest's Christmas Carol" for you, because how appropriate this time of year.

I've got that one :)

And thank you for the cheer.

My dvd player's on the fritz, too. it makes funny noises... not cool. i think these contraptions should be made of stronger stuff.
