Don't get too close to me 'cause you might knock me up.

I was sick today, and it made me feel like this:

Photobucket

However, in almost all other respects things are good, for the following reasons:

- I made a cake today! And... kind of broke it a little. And by "a little" I mean "holy fuck, that was a cake?" WHATEVER, STILL TOTALLY EDIBLE (AND DELICIOUS).

- Another thing I made? A present for [livejournal.com profile] redheaded_itch. :D

- Watching Panic At The Disco on MOD with the whole family. The best part was when they played the video for "That Green Gentleman," because Dad stared at it (and by "it" I mean "Ryan Ross") confusedly while the rest of us sang along. He eventually said, with an air of finality so grim he might have been pronouncing the Apocalypse, "They look like DORKS." Welcome to the fold, Dad.

- I found a terrible idea in one of my notebooks!

Donnie Darko AU

Gerard = Donnie
Ray = Gretchen
Frank = Frank
Mrs. Farmer = Brendon Urie's mom
Mama Way = Rosie
Brian = Professor Monnitoff
Bob = Ms. Pomeroy
Brendon = Jeanie
Pete = Jim Cunningham
Mikey = Samantha
Amanda Palmer = Roberta Sparrow


Ahaha WHAT I DO NOT EVEN REMEMBER WRITING THIS OUT AND IT IS SUCH A BAD IDEA, SELF. YOU MUST NOT WRITE IT. EVER. EVEN IF YOU DO WANT TO SEE FRANK IN A BUNNY SUIT.

(The talent show could be a Battle of the Bands instead! The Hush Sound would play a beautiful song full of ~pathos that nobody would get, and then Panic At The Disco would come on with "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" and oh God then Brendon's mom could say "SOMETIMES I DOUBT YOUR COMMITMENT TO PANIC AT THE DISCO" and WHY AM I STILL THINKING ABOUT THIS IT IS SO CLEARLY WRONG.)

- Hallowe'en costume is 99% complete. I just need to fool around with makeup to ensure I look properly dead.

- Who Killed Amanda Palmer! SO AMAZING. SO BEAUTIFUL. SO APPROVED BY NEIL GAIMAN. (Why did none of you tell me about that part? YOU'RE ALL ON NOTICE.) I think "Guitar Hero" and "Oasis" might be my favourite tracks, but I'll most likely change my mind in the morning.)

- New posters! Three little ones:

And one big one that I don't have enough putty to put up yet:

- Fuck City has a Twitter! I am inexplicably charmed by Matt Mixon and his pretty lady smile.

- I GOT A JOB. A NEW ONE. IN A BOOKSTORE. WHICH MEANS I GET TO QUIT MY CURRENT, CRAPPY JOB. I HAVE WANTED TO WORK IN A BOOKSTORE SINCE I WAS A LITTLE KID,* GUYS, THIS IS SERIOUSLY EXCITING FOR ME. \o/

A++ day, universe!

* When I was a little kid I also wanted to be an artist. And a firefighter. And a rabbi. Not all dreams can come true.

Reminds me of my own flirtations with paleontology and my ultimate conviciton never to work odd jobs outside the university sector if I could help it until I finish my editing/broadcasting credentials.

I rather my words speak on for themselves as I'm not sure how you'd feel about their origin.

Incidentally, Gerard has been the model for a villain in a supernatural fantesy script me and my collegue have been developing for some time as a DV feature which we intend to roll out in the next 5-10 years.

Prepare to Sequee over the Anti-Regulator in 2013. :p

We try.

We're shooting a telefilm backed 16mm short Nov. 2nd, lot of networking and hat tipping to asshats, but we're making waves.

It's the dues you need to pay to make the really good stuff down the road. Plus in this Longtail-fueled, DV backed age, anything is possible.

OH MY GOD YAY JOB AT A BOOKSTORE. I WANT ONE SO BADDDDD. But I also feel like I would walk out of there with books and no paycheck, so.

You are super adorable, even when sick. JSYK.

[identity profile] ishyface.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
I am probably going to do just that! WHO NEEDS MONEY WHEN YOU HAVE *BOOKS* TO READ, THAT'S WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.

And thank you! ♥

Perhaps we should start keeping a list and check things off as we go! "To Do: Hug Ish, Wrap Ish, Feed Ish Cake..."

OH MAN YOU GET TO WORK IN A BOOKSTORE!!!! I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THAT BUT WHEN I APPLIED THEY IGNORED ME :( :( :(

You have a bookstore job AND a cake. And movie posters. And a cute face (even if it is sick). You win.

[identity profile] ishyface.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
THEY HAVE ALWAYS IGNORED ME UP TO THIS POINT TOOOOO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT CHANGED! MAYBE I AM JUST EXTRA ADORABLE NOW. :DDDDD

oohhhh. congratulations on the bookstore job. <3 DREAMYSIGH.

"They look like DORKS." Welcome to the fold, Dad.

...not just look like.

...not just look like.

*g* True dat.

OMG BOOKSTORE!1!!!

*hopes very much that this is the Empire Records of the bookstore world*

[identity profile] ishyface.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
OH MY GOD DEV I HOPE SO. All I really want is to fight the man and beat up Rex Manning, and I don't think that is too much to ask of a job!

[identity profile] uncommon-crow.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a very reasonable desire, I think.

Also, you would get to eat M&Ms, which is a not inconsiderable perk.

[identity profile] ishyface.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
THAT IS SUCH A GOOD PERK. Almost as good as the pot brownies. Possibly the two could be combined for infinite win!

[identity profile] uncommon-crow.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
YES. And one of your co-workers will bring pizza from hir other job.

*drools*

[identity profile] ishyface.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Fuuuuuck, now I want pizza. And lots of stoner food, like sandwiches with EVERYTHING EVER in them.

[identity profile] uncommon-crow.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
YES. *goes off to make wontons, just because he can*

[identity profile] ishyface.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
DEVIN YOU ARE KILLING ME HERE. WONTONS. *stomach rumbles*

(In Moral Philosophy one time one of the Beards was creating a philosophical strawman and used the phrase "wanton murder." However, he pronounced it like "wonton murder" and I spent about a half hour convinced he'd witnessed manslaughter at a Chinese takeout.)

[identity profile] uncommon-crow.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
*sporfle* The great thing about wontons (well, one of the great things) is that they can be made to look convoluted in a sort of human-brain way.
