Don't get too close to me 'cause you might knock me up.
I was sick today, and it made me feel like this:

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
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!
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.

(Anonymous) 2008-10-25 02:25 am (UTC)(link)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

(Anonymous) 2008-10-25 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)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.

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

(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.)
