Although John Williams and Alexander Courage Really Are Nothing to Sneeze At

So I'm really weirdly high on cold medicine. That sort of knocked-on-your-ass high where I can either lie on the sofa drifting in and out of consciousness and thinking I feel like crap, I feel like crap, ghod I so totally feel like crap, or I can get up and bounce in a floaty way off bookshelves and furniture and the rest of the oversize bumper-pool table that my living quarters seem to have become, or I can sit at the computer and look for zoned-out mindless high-on-antihistamines things to do, like play Lemmings (thank you oh so much, [livejournal.com profile] penmage), or troll through demo files of the weirdest downloadable music I can find.

This is probably not the state of mind in which to discover that one can download mp3 files of the entire Land of the Giants soundtrack album.

I mean, I suppose the fact that there should be downloadable mp3 files of this album is not that surprising.

But there was a Land of the Giants soundtrack album.

Featuring tracks such as "The Sniveling Sneak" and "Water Drain/ More Garbage."

I think I should go drift back into unconsciousness now.


P.S.

I'm too dumb to be a lemming--I don't get it *g*.

LOL! I didn't get it at first, and then I did. (You have to choose a type of lemming from the list of abilities at the bottom--the low levels give you only one choice or two, effectively telling you what to do--and then click on one of the marching lemmings to give it that ability. If you want them not to march off a cliff, click on the first one to make him a blocker. If you want them to dig a hole down to the next tier, make one a digger or a miner.)

And then I found that fast-forward didn't work for me, so once I'd got them marching home, there was nothing to do but wait while eight thousand and seventy-two (okay, fifty) lemmings slowly marched home. Which is fine when you're multitasking, but...protracted when you're stoned and just staring at the screen.
