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

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.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

nothing on this earth will get me to go see Abney Park
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.

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

Fair dinkum. Is the music any good?

Eh? I like one or two of their songs. I know many other people who really like what they do, and I freely admit that I cannot set aside my bias to give them a fair listen.

I don't tend to wear my geekiness. But luckily CJ is happy to take care of that for me. I bought him this Firefly shirt for Christmas and he adores it.
Today he was asking for the "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya..." shirt from ThinkGeek. I don't like the script they used on the name sticker

I like ONE of their songs, and it's the song that the lead singer doesn't sound like himself on. The band is pretty good. I simply won't bother paying to listen to them.
I've locked horns with the singer, in online fora. First he attempted to sleep his way to goth-fame, and when that didn't work (his personality got in the way of the sex), his band switched idiom and while they LOOK nice - and Nathan IS a sweet man who gives excellent hugs - it's still a mediocre band with THAT MAN singing for them. Blerg. I'm locked arm-and-arm with the StuntWife on this one. Though I'll make a music video for "Until The Day You Die" soon.
