Uplifting Things #2

Oh, look, it's Monday again. Time for the beginning of a new semester for me and more uplifting things for you.

Music video: "The Kill" by The Dresden Dolls

The first time I watched this delightful fan video, I didn't even realize it wasn't official. Yay not paying attention to the credits XD.

Comics: Angel Sanctuary by Kaori Yuki

The art (not to mention the character designs) is beautiful enough for it to make it worth reading even when you can't keep track of the (nonetheless intriguing) plot =D.

Album: Hunky Dory by David Bowie

Contains some particularly lovely string sections and haunting lyrics (especially "Quicksand") balanced with bouncy songs like "Kooks" and "Fill Your Heart."

Movie: MirrorMask

A gorgeous movie made by the Jim Henson Company with a script by Neil Gaiman about a teenage circus juggler who gets pulled into the world of her own drawings by her parallel self, a spoiled princess who wants to escape the grasp of her overly-possessive mother.

Place: Mill Ruins Park, Minneapolis

Full of twisted metal remains and broken bits of brick walls from the mills that the city grew around, but probably the prettiest part is the little trickle of water from above the ruins and all the moss growing on the rocks where it lands, which always reminds me of the Bog of Eternal Stench.
