Love the shirt. I think someone should buy it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

It's a clever mashup. Who can resist that?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, FINE.

Resistance is futile, ita! BUY!

This weekend I am in Vegas. Which sounds fun, except for I have twins with me. And Grandma. And there was vomit (from a twin not from me!) And a hockey tournament (K's team has won 2 of the 4 games they have to play. They play the other two games tomorrow).

My life, she is not glamorous. Not even a little.

OH! But we are staying at Palace Station (terrible rooms, but cheap) which has the best oyster bar. Instead of gumbo or etouffe which I normally have, I had linguine scampi. GOOD LORD it was delicious. And it more than gave me the calories for the 6 meals I've missed over the pat 3 days. Nom nom nom.

2/11, The Second Annual Tim Burton Ball

Dammit, no way I'd be able to make it down to that. And it would be PERFECT for me.

4/2, Abney Park performance, two full sets with cirque performance

Ahahahaha. No. While I would love to see the violin player (who is a sweetheart, and a friend of mine), nothing on this earth will get me to go see Abney Park, and I certainly wouldn't travel out of state to see them.

Because books.

I'd totally buy that shirt. That's awesome.

linguine scampi

Mmmmm. Less so on the vomit, of course.

We just watched Red, and I love it more than pretty much anything in the world right now. Such fun.

Why's that? I haven't actually heard anything by them so I don't know anything about them except their Steampunkiness.

Hooo-boy. Um, simply put, the lead vocalist is a huge jerk.

The more involved explanation is that Abney Park used to be a struggling Goth band who tried really hard to convince people they were a Bigger Deal than they actually were, would try to recruit any girl willing to wear a corset to be a "back-up singer", and picked fights with any talented musician that crossed the lead vocalist's path. And then they recruited a back-up singer/dancer who had the (admittedly brilliant) notion that they should switch to a steampunk look. Ta-da, they started getting press, and now the lead singer vehemently denies that they were ever, EVER a wannabe goth band.

In other words, scene drama and egos. I have no patience for the lead singer, but we are very good at being polite to each other at events we are both at. But like I said, the violinist (Nathan) is a complete darling.

Wow, Fleshbot has really low commenter traffic.

Also, there's a porn site called "Submit your bitch" where you can send in x-rated photos and video of your ex-girlfriends to get revenge, and people pay to watch them in porny situations. I hate people.
