This is The National's contribution to the soundtrack for the video game Portal 2. I really like it, as you'd expect, but it doesn't grab me as much as some of the other songs they released recently.

Anyway, this single-handedly makes me want to play the Portal games, even though I don't have the money for it. (I can't fucking believe I missed out on when they were giving away Portal for free. >B[ )

( Upcoming days under the cut... )

"Does it trouble your mind the way you trouble mine?"

I really feel like crap right now; I haven't been sleeping well the past few nights, and I've been waking up much earlier than I normally do, which is just extremely frustrating.  So in the meantime, have another meme, stolen from gingeynary :

Name a character from one of my fandoms, and I will reply saying:
* How I FEEEEEL about this character
* All the people I ship romantically with this character
* My non-romantic OTP for this character
* My unpopular opinion about this character
* One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

I'm not interested in answering questions about Transformers right now, but characters from any other fandom you know I'm familiar with are fair game.  ^_^;
