Top Gear fans may be familiar with the story of how immediately after Richard Hammond did his audition, he went to a payphone, called his wife and cried because it was so wonderful and he was sure he was never going to be chosen ( Read more... )

I'm told that when MCR perform 'Cancer', Gerard usually doesn't sing the words 'never marry'. I'm all for audience participation but it seems like a strange place to do it. I realise it must seem a bit odd for him to sing that lyric now that he is married, but it's a song performed in character - Gerard isn't dying of cancer, either ( Read more... )

So yeah, I just saw Black Swan and loved it, but it's really difficult to watch. Right from the start it's uncomfortable just watching Nina interact with people - and that's before the ew sexual harrassment company director or OH GOD SO MUCH BLOOD. But it's exactly the kind of thriller I love, the plot is pretty much flawless and it satisfied the ( Read more... )

With all the heavy sedation (I HATE IT SO FUCKING MUCH UGH, I WANT MY BRAIN TURNED BACK ON) I am having trouble paying enough attention to read, write, draw, play or do anything remotely interesting. What I really want to do is watch my Powderfinger DVD, but I'm sick of having it on a laptop screen and want to watch it on the TV ( Read more... )

And the traditional early NaNo forum crash begins. At least I remembered what time the Cup Day party starts. I just put the pinwheels in the oven so now my fingers smell like pastry.

Here, have a song: Anthem by Tiddas. (And bonus You & Me Running because it has a bit of 'Ging Gang Goolie' in the middle, making it a hell of a nostalgia trip ( Read more... )

How jealous am I of everyone at the Adelaide show last night?

REALLY FUCKING JEALOUS. And they did it instead of Capoicity, I can tell from the screen. Damn it! THIS HAD BETTER BE ON THE DVD OR ON A RECORDING OR SOMETHING, FINGERS.

So much has been going on in music this week! I've been living vicariously through people in multiple countries seeing MCR and Muse and Black Cards, and there is SO MUCH happening with Mikey and Pete tweeting each other and people like Mikey and Bebe being hot and Chris Wolstenholme on Twitter and Waycest and there is so much happening that it ( Read more... )

My day was such a mixed bag, but I will spare you the crankiness. I've been catching up, if slowly, on all the fic I've missed lately. Recs welcome, etc ( Read more... )
