+ There should be a countdown on my phone:

11Oct - PWTs, Houston HOB
18Oct - Panic/Patrick, San Antonio
19Oct - Panic/Patrick, Austin
20Oct - Panic/Patrick, NOLA
21Oct - Jack's Mannequin, Houston HOB
22Oct - Buzzfest, Houston (Bush, Evans Blue, Chevelle, Filter, etc.)
28-30Oct - Voodoo Experience, NOLA (28th - Soundgarden, My Chem, Fitz & the Tantrums, the Wombats, Mates of State, Ani DiFranco; 29th - Social D, blink-182, Snoop Dogg, Girl Talk, XX; 30th - The Raconteurs, TV on the Radio, Fatboy Slim, Cheap Trick)
31Oct - Panic/Patrick, DC
3Nov - Panic/Patrick, Philadelphia
4Nov- Panic/Patrick in Sayreville OR Frank Turner in Philadelphia

Theoretically, I should be completely done the last round of experiments for a paper by the Texas Disco dates, but I guess we'll see. Things never work out quite the way I hope, in terms of timing. I'm taking off for them and for Voodoo + a trip to the east coast for Discos and family-time whether or not the paper is submitted. Already requested leave.

- How does a president who has received the Nobel Peace Prize justify continued support of a government that sentences its health care workers to years of imprisonment for doing their jobs? Oh, yeah, the Fifth Fleet. That explains that. /cynicism

(On a related note, holy hell, the twitter sniping going on at Jeremy Scahill for his critique of the Awlaki assassination... O.O)

- A teeny, tiny fire ant bit me on the foot at BestFest last Saturday. (I squished it viciously in retaliation.) It itched for a few days, but that subsided. Now a purply-red welt the size of a penny surrounds the raised, darkened spot of the original bite. This cannot possibly be normal... Is it?

+ GameDay for ESPN is in Madison this week for the big red battle. It is entirely possible that we will be homebodies on Saturday night so we can watch Wisconsin play Nebraska at Camp Randall. I cannot even IMAGINE what the stadium will be like - it was crazy enough for the rare night game (I think we played Purdue and Oregon at night while I was there) but for it to be such a good match-up, ranking-wise, and for GameDay to be there (I think they only came to UW for the Michigan game back then)? State St will be soooo rowdy, OMG.

+ Sign-ups for

yagkyas are open! Go on, you know you want some.

+ It's been that kind of week at work. I believe I am going to go drink some Stone 15th Anniversary Black IPA. Mmmmm.

1. Hello, internet! My laptop's fan is running over time. I'm somewhat concerned that this means the end is nigh. I've only checked LJ sporadically lately, over my phone, and I'm terrible about commenting since I hate to do extensive typing on the tiny touch-screen, but if I've missed something important, please let me know!

2. For

thespatz, some BRMC. My internet connection is really slow - it took over an hour to get these three uploaded - but here are BRMC, Take Them On, On Your Own, and Live In London. I'll try to get Baby 81 and Beat The Devil's Tattoo up soon, also.

3. Um. I had all sorts of stuff to say about HP & the Deathly Hallows, but it feels too belated to post about it now. On the surface I was entertained. McGonagall! Neville! But there's so much that just ended up being ignored or glossed over, and in the end we got one "it's okay if you're sorted into Slytherin, son" instead of addressing the marginalization of an entire House. Which, OK, JKR did in the books, so the movie was limited in how it could tell the story. But still. \o/ /o\

4. Work. Spent a full day there yesterday, despite it being a Saturday. At least this way I can use one less vacation day for the Lolla?

5. Empires. Please let them actually play a show during Lollapalooza. SVV said they were trying to set something up when I asked, but who knows if it'll actually happen.

6. LUDO & STAMPS & TOMMY AND THE HIGH PILOTS & WITHOUT A FACE TOMORROW.

7. Sign-ups for

we_pimpin's next fic exchange are open! Go check it out!

8. I just read KA Mitchell's No Souvenirs. Recs for m/m (e)books?

As ordered by

why_me_why_not:

(1) List 5 celebrities you would have sex with without even asking questions.
(2) Put all of them IN ORDER of your lust for them. (1 being most lusted-after.)
(3) Say which movie/show/thing it was that hooked you.
(4) Supply photos for said people.
~~(5) Tag five people.~~

I'll start by saying this: Alan Rickman and the Phelps brothers would automatically top this list. But I thought I'd skip the Potter-related actors for once and go with some of the others.

( clicky for the pretties )

And, in twin-related news,

mrsrittenrotten has posted two items of note over at

twinspiration.

First, the Weasley Twin Coloring Contest. Contest, you ask? Yes. The prize? Fred and George figurines!

And second, as artist-in-residence, Mrs. Smittenrotten interviewed

celestialsoda for the Fanartist Focus #8. Go, read, admire. Look at the pretty artses made 'specially for

twinspiration. Mmm, Fredngeorge.

notthequiettype,

veronamay,

lemmealone and

esohpe have created

reel_spn, which is running a fic exchange wherein the participants write J² or Winchesters in AUs that fit with some fantastic movies.

Go check out the list of possible movies. I'm trying to tell myself that I can finish my

hp_summersmut fic and some of the WIP list and still write a fic for this, but I'm not convincing myself. (How sad is that? I can't even lie to myself!)

I SO want to see a Jsquared Legally Blonde AU fic, it's not even funny. It would be crackalicious. Or a Winchester fic set to the plot of The Departed. Or, ohgods, maybe you can imagine Jared, Jensen, Tom and Mike all in Heathers? Happily, someone has already taken The Godfather, which was the movie I had in mind when I posted the other day about dark!Dean.

Sadly, Giant is not on the list, although it could be added if one so desired. James Dean. Dean. Jensen. Yeah. *cough* It's all

glockgal's fault for bringing that to my attention with her bit of rubber ducky art.

Oh, and I've collected a ton of screen caps of S2 gun/hand images. I'll optimize and post some hand picspam sometime soon. Maybe. Hopefully. Oddly enough (or perhaps not) it's almost all Dean, hardly any Sam. 'Cause Sammy is the sensitive, "let's talk about this" brother, you know? :p

Just in case any of you didn't know:

twinspiration's artist-in-residence,

mrsrittenrotten, conducted an interview with the fabulous

lizardspots for the community's "Fanartist Focus" series.

In it you'll find some lovely twin art and a link to Lizard's other gorgeous work.

lizardspots (whom I only knew through admiring her Snarry art before) seems like a cool, witty person, in addition to being so talented. Makes me wish I could go to Sectus2007 and meet her. In lieu of that, I'll keep ogling her art. :)

Allez-y!

And thanks to MrsSmittenrotten for all her hard work and efforts in making the fledgling series a success!
