(no subject)

I feel weirdly defensive about having taken up playing around with music again over the last month or so -- like, if I have that much extra time to spare, shouldn't I have been using it to chase down the looming deadline? But I've heard from pros before that writers need a hobby that isn't writing, and I think it's true. Writing is still fun after it's your job (despite all the whining I do!) but the stakes get too high when you're getting paid for it. I need something else to do that makes me feel accomplished and makes me feel good about myself... but doesn't press the ANXIETY button.

Anyway, I have uploaded some music!

Final Fantasy VI -- Rest In Peace. This is the music that you hear after your whole party dies.
Final Fantasy VI -- Shadow.
Bela Bartok -- Children at Play.

If you're interested in the "androgyny and manga" translation...

I do intend to finish the chapter. I'll do the rest of the chapter in three sections; I'm planning to have the first up early this week, the second around next weekend, and the third by the weekend after that.
