Once more with Feeling
mood: 
impressed
impressedWell, ok...maybe not nothing. The reason for the Buffy-musical-episode-title blog entry title is because of The Great Trip III. Oh yes, we're gonna go again this year, most likely. The target date is June 14, and this time, we will be pretty much revisiting every location in Washington and Oregon that we kind of missed in the past due to bad weather. I'm talking about Mt. Rainier (from Sunrise), Mt. St. Helens (Johnson and Coldwater Ridges), most of central Oregon with them volcanoes and...well, volcanoes mostly; Crater Lake again (hopefully this time with clear skies), and Olympic National Park, which was cloudy and foggy during our 2 previous visits. The trip should take about a week, though really it may only fill 5 or 6 days. This time, we're going to make sure we get to see all of these sights. If it rains one day, then we'll wait it out. Simple as that.
As usual, pictures and maybe even videos await you when I get back.
Moving on. I got my Stargate: The Ark of Truth soundtrack in the mail today (autographed by JOEL GOLDSMITH...DUDE!!!)!! Woooohooo!! Verdict: AWESOME. I like music. I LOVE music. In fact, the legend goes that my mom played music while pregnant with me, so I got started at an...early age.
Fast forward to today, and I was pretty much blown away by this soundtrack. You don't have to be a Stargate fan to appreciate it. You just have to like music, basically. Every track has something unique to it that makes it special. Be it a powerfully epic choral backdrop, or melancholy notes forming scenes in your head of fallen grace, or action-packed techno music used for fighting sequences that are just as bitchin'.
Stargate: The Ark of Truth had it all, in spades. I would highly recommend getting the soundtrack. Really. It's good music.
Really.
BUY IT.
Woo-hoo!
I received my soundtrack last week, and have only listed to it about 93 times.
I LOVE Goldsmith music. Jerry Goldsmith, Joel's dad, scored some of my absolute movie soundtracks -- Wind and the Lion, Star Trek movies, etc.
But Joel, too, has a wonderful gift with music.
Enjoy your vacation!
When you get to Oregon, yell out "Hello," maybe I'll hear you here in N. Calif.

Re: Woo-hoo!
Yeah, I heard Jerry's scores for the Star Trek movies. They were indeed spectacular; Joel, I've found, has fully integrated Jerry's magnificence into his own music, and maybe even expanded it. Truly like father, like son.
You're in North California?! Cool! I was just there last year. I was crusing along I-5 going south, then later up the coast highway 101 going north.
