So… I have noticed, I don’t know if you have, but I seem to have a 6-month mark. It’s basically me finding something, obsessing over it for 6 months, and then sort of… there? It’s still there, but not getting mad over it anymore.
At least it’s been like that since Harry Potter… I am almost pretty sure. I pretty much disliked the last two books, for OBVIOUS reasons, some smart people might notice… and friends will pretty much know. So it all sort of crushed something inside of me…
Main thing is, I don’t read as much as I was reading in my 2003-2006 period, but that’s another topic.
Since then, I’ve been jumping fandoms… now, is it because some fandoms are not good? Or is it something about me? Can’t I hold my interest longer than six months??

First, before anyone complains about my opinion, I’m writing this reviews not only as a person who listens to Celtic Woman, but also as someone who’s bought tons of DVDs, and even has made some in her short career.
I’ve got my complete Celtic Woman DVD collection, of sorts…
- Celtic Woman
- Celtic Woman: Live at Slane Castle
- Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration
First, some facts on Amy relating to Celtic Woman:
- Saw them on a PBS (Public Broadcasting SOMETHING SOMETHING hahaha) in Canada
- Were in Vancouver, but missed them coz I had classes.
- Fiddling is cool, Amy thinks.
- Saw clips of the Slane Castle show, and bought the DVD.
- The 2nd DVD was the first in my collection.

I have finally found the Silver Sea album by Méav Ní Mhaolchatha, after extensive searching and waiting. I will share for a limited time only, if you’re interested, be sure to leave a message in this post.
The album has 13 songs of pretty awesome vocals. Meav’s got one of the most delightful voices I’ve heard in a long time, it really is a pleasure to just listen to her. Many of the tracks are slow to mid-tempo songs that really showcase her vocals, but most of my favorite ones are beat-driven tracks like The Wicked Sister, and The Dark-Haired Girl.
Some other highlights are Morning in Béarra - that, if I’m not mistaken, sounds like She Moved Thru the Fair, - A Maid in Bedlam, and Youkali Tango - a sexy-sounding Tango in French. Song lyrics and translations found at LyricsMagnet.com. Here’s the tracklist:
- You Brough Me Up
- The Wicked Sister
- Morning in Béarra
- Full Fathom Five
- The Waves of Tory
- A Maid in Bedlam
- The Cradles
- Newry Boat-song
- Martha’s Harbour
- The Dark-Haired Girl
- Port Na Bpucaí
- Silent O Moyle
- Youkali Tango
