Aww, kittens!

Especially a basket of kittens (consider, for example, my Gmail display name) ^_^ Though I can't claim to be as cute as a basket of kittens. ^^;;

Totally yanked from chibi_nasu:

( Lyrics )

Oh, X...

I got tagged by chibi_nasu, and I forgot to exclude X from the list of valid letters. Oops. ^^;;;

( The 'starts with' meme )

I actually had quite a lot of fun coming up with words that I liked in this case. But I'm not going to be evil and give anyone letters like 'Q', 'X', 'Y' or 'Z'. :P

Edit: Updated with the letter 'B' from meganemagic:

1. (William) Bolcom - I love him "just" because he's a ragtime composer and composed (among other pieces) the Graceful Ghost rag and [secret]. 'Nuff said. :P

2. Beauty - I like people who are beautiful. Not necessarily in the physical/"loaded" sense of the word, but people who are beautiful inside too. Sometimes, more so than people who are physically beautiful :)

3. Bond - Both the musical group and James Bond. Both are good in their own ways. :)

4. Bewitched - I loved that show when it was on TV! Especially for its premise and some of the really funny things that happened during episodes.

5. Beethoven - He wrote a lot of nice piano music, including the Moonlight Sonata and Pathetique, among others.

6. Barenaked Ladies - I was first introduced to them by karmaforone back in 2001, and again more recently by some other people who have LJ accounts but shall remain nameless for now. I love the music of theirs that I've heard, especially One Week, Pinch Me and Powder Blue. :P

7. Bananas - They're a good source of potassium and glucose, especially when you haven't eaten breakfast or don't have time to.

8. Boxer shorts - They can be very comfy for walking around the house or relaxing while playing the piano, although I certainly wouldn't wear them when going out. ^^;;

9. Bottles - You can store things in them. You can mount miniature ships or wood sculptures in them. You can blow into or over them and make music. You can use them to defend yourself. What's there not to like about bottles?

10. Blue - Even though it's not really a "guy" colour, I like various shades of blue such as pastel or baby blue, up to midnight and navy blue. In fact, my Vista theme right now is a somewhat dark shade of blue. ^_^

Maybe this is a sign that I shouldn't sing yet...

I was practicing recording my singing of a possible duet item, and while recording, my left thumb kept bleeding and spreading blood all over my palm. >_< I put a plaster on it and that seems to have eased the problem somewhat, but it's still disturbing that it's bleeding from almost exactly the same place where it's bled before (most notably during one of my exams while I was in my second year of university).

I'll see if it gets better tomorrow and record again during in the morning (my first three attempts today didn't really work very well for various reasons - either I was off-key in various places or my voice was too soft).
