I love Nightwish.  Especially for songs like this.

I'm rather on a binge right now.  I got a new disk from the local secondhad book store.

I've also been on the wane as far as writing goes.  This happens - with my interaction with people in general not just writing.  I see so much more of the non-human world, though.  Sometimes I just have to immerse myself in one world or the other.

Also, If someone would tell me how to embed movies.... I'd be grateful.

EDIT:  Here's another Entry  on "Waning" and "Waxing" by a different blogger.  And actually a slightly more eloquent post than mine.
