Dear GabrielSaporta, Y'all making fart sounds to your stickam and then sending it to Rolling Stone? Does not really count as a preview to your new album. I hope. In any case, don't waste my time with bullshit. I'd rather you just said it was you fucking around than telling us to go listen to one of our new songs, 'kay?

Tomorrow night? Scout Bar? Sing It Loud & The Morning Light with some other dudes. Doors are at 7pm. Tickets are $10 at the door. I'm leaving directly from work, so if anyone needs a lift from the med center/downtown, lemme know.

I have resigned myself to not making the bandombigbang deadline. Should I even bother continuing?


*sigh*


No new TDS/TCR this week. Tragic.


But. APRIL IS ALMOST HERE! AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, DON'T YOU? TAAAAABBY!

♥ why_me_why_not's tickets are booked for the Believers Never Die roadtrip. \\O//

♥ our manuscript is going to rest over the weekend; we'll re-read and edit, then submit Monday (I hope)

♥ home-made imperial stout on tap

♥ Badger hockey; I miss the Kohl Center

no ♥ for getting up in time to leave at 7am tomorrow to drive down to Rockport

I have no idea what is wrong with me. I fell asleep on the sofa at ~9pm last night. I woke at ~11pm, did nothing of consequence, and actually went to bed before 1am. I feel like I do nothing but sleep and work lately, and I do not like this.

But!

Something was accomplished. Mainly because of why_me_why_not's efforts at tying our random bits and pieces together.

Brendon catches Shane staring (again) and yanks the cuffs of his hoodie down self-consciously. It's not like the marks are that distinct; they barely look like smudges of dirt against Brendon's skin.



'kay. I'm going to write the porn that I was trying not to write the other night. Have a happy Wednesday, everybody!

The squeaky squealing you just heard was me, expressing my glee that why_me_why_not posted her barista!Jon fic!

(Why, yes, it *does* deserve exclamation marks!)

Bandom || Jon/Spencer, Brendon/Tom || Teen || ~4500 words
If it wasn't for Brendon, Jon wouldn't even have to try; Spencer would be all over him as soon as he smiled.

We all know I have a thing about guys in glasses, right? I was cleaning up my laptop (avoiding the last of the chores as I get the house ready for MrIris's grandparents), and found an entire folder called guys in glasses.

( SRSLY, MEN IN GLASSES. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO LOOK. )

What? You know you think they're hot. Got more to share? Link me!



Also, because why_me_why_not said Guh. YES PLEASE. when I txted her Bden/Shane/Patrick studio shenanigans, y/n?, I posted an untitled ficlet. 540 words, D/s undertones, Shane's POV.

First thing this morning was lab meeting. Excruciatingly boring. Poke-my-eyes-out levels. The Chief even wanted to get up and leave.

Yesterday's work-related rant was muted by why_me_why_not's happy-making post and by a) constant reminders that it was Hotass Brothers Day (which ended up being *such* a disppointment), b) only one day remained until the Gym Class Heroes show (YAY!), and c) the appearance of this month's AP, complete with Rise Against interview.

I'm mostly over it. Mostly. But the day is young.

To let you know the level of yesterday's stupidity, I'm just going to ask you science-type people one question: if I told you to use isobutanol from a bottle containing a settled mixture of water and isobutanol, which layer would you take, the upper or lower?

Uh-huh. The Idiot was not clear on whether hydrocarbons were more or less dense than water, and was choosing the wrong layer. For making gels. Which he made wrong. Twice. Because apparently the label "1.5M Tris pH 8.8" really means "1.5M Tris + 20% SDS". Really.



So. TONIGHT, I AM GOING TO HAVE DRINKS AT ABSINTHE, AND LISTEN TO THE GYM CLASS HEROES, AND NOT THINK ABOUT WORK EXCEPT TO BE GRATEFUL I HAVE A JOB AND I'VE GOT THE WEEKEND OFF.



*smirk*

Is it wrong that my first thought upon receiving Ticketmaster's weekend ticketing notice is that Metro Station's tour title is possibly the least accurate thing ever? "One Hot Night In November"? If it's not sold out the day-of, I might go just to laugh at their skeeze.

why_me_why_not is at Warped RIGHT NOW, and I wish I were with her.

( hold your breath now )

I slacked, didn't take any prompts from slashfest in the last round, but why_me_why_not did, and she posted the results today.

Sins

J will be here on Friday. We will hang out, drink wine, talk about Books and Music and Important Things, watch movies, and just be happy together.

Saturday is the Really Really Ridiculously Good Looking show.

And. There is a ticket for floor entry to the MCR show in St. Louis in my inbox, along with rental car and plane ticket reservations. Good times, man. :)



You're gonna get sick of hearing me squee about this, for real. Someone make me stop. I could flail about why_me_why_not maybe coming for the HCT date in Houston instead. Sound good?



eta: *waves at "music"* Did Dave Grohl really sing that entire song with a wad of gum in his mouth?
