Right, so I don't usually write up my concerts because I really have no idea how to organize my thoughts about these things, but IDK. Last night was completely fabulous; ( have some rambling. )

So today's the Boston Marathon, meaning that my boss stayed home rather than brave the traffic, my bus isn't running because the race cuts right through its route, and a whole lot of people across the state have a holiday. If I start inking under my desk at some point, I will feel pretty well justified ( Read more... )

I had the most amazing weekend. There were fangirls in my city, and while I was kind of an idiot and didn't actually attend MJ, some of them still invited me to dinner and hanging out in hotel rooms, and tuesdaysgone let me drag her all over the city for most of Saturday. I had a lovely, lovely time, and next time I am registering for sure. And doing a ( Read more... )

So scattered right now. There's been plenty happening in my life, but I'm not having an easy time making it cohere into a post. I've been listening to Vice & Virtues nonstop (countdown until I start reading lots of Brendon/Spencer: 5 ... 4... 3...), watching more Castle, and I went to see Travie McCoy & the Black Cards play in Boston with

Oh my god, it stopped raining! \o/ Seriously, you guys, I don't mind daylight savings most of the time (I'd much rather wake up in the dark, if it means getting an extra hour of sunshine after work), but having it happen in the midst of four days' steady downpour is just playing dirty. Can't wait to finally enjoy that sunlight this evening, while ( Read more... )

Last night fuschia and I saw Amanda Palmer play in my hometown (in the venue where I had tickets but missed the Dresden Dolls twice), and she covered House of the Rising Sun (along with Nervous Cabaret). My god, that was hot.

There are lots of exciting things going on! I got myself an Archive of Our Own account (and you can too; open beta is open). ( Read more... )

This has been the wackiest of weeks.

The BND show on Tuesday with fuschia, inkjunket, and greendreaming was mostly fabulous, although All Time Low is pretty much permanently on my shitlist for the disgusting things they were saying to their severely underaged audience. >:( Apart from that, though! I haven't paid much attention to Hey Monday because I can't really get into ( Read more... )

So tonight I'm going to see my favorite (smaller) band perform at Johnny D's in Davis Square. Enter the Haggis! Celtic rock punk folk bluegrass blues jazz ska oh whatever, let's just call it fusion. ♥ I was going to see them three or four times a year until I got all blindsided by restructuring my life; I can't wait to see them again. (New ( Read more... )

Bleurgh, work is kicking my ass today. I am looking forward to mid-February, which is really pretty unusual.

On the other hand, Fall Out Boy touring with Cobra! :D Tuesday concerts in Lowell are not exactly the most convenient things, but I really can't see how I can miss this. (Last time they played there? I trekked around in the rain with sweetvalleyslut ( Read more... )

yuletide sign-ups are imminent! \o/

I've been meaning to do a little meta post on the subject of requesting, but I'm having trouble concentrating on much of anything just now. olivia_circe asked me to share my cathartic Election Day mix, so I thought I might: ( Because I'm a dork, on my iTunes, this is labeled 'Electoral Collage' )
