Guys, I have a VITAL QUESTION for all of you:
View poll: A VITAL QUESTION: Basically every day that I don't post something new makes me capslock, and now when I'm finally posting I can't actually capslock everything because the caps would lose all effect. So pretend I am equally excited about ALL OF THESE THINGS.
Like, say,
THIS. I DO NOT KNOW IF YOU NOTICED, BUT UPON CLOSE READING, it is revealed that Panic! at the Disco and Adam Lambert are going to be at the SAME EVENT ON THE SAME EVENING. If I do not get joint footage from that evening, or at least a ficlet, I might just cry. But anyway :D :D :D.
Or like.
disarm_d's 200-word recap of Panic's new album, which is the
most most perfect, as is the rest of her review, LOL. And speaking of the album and its lyrics (which we were), I have some
very important observations that I should talk about before they get jossed in the official album jacket.
1. Hurricane: "But he didn't come and speak to me". We are all in agreement that this is a male pronoun, yes? Yes. I have nothing to say about that.
2. So we have an entire song that goes It was always you.
I seem to remember who it has always been from very very recently.
See also "I would like to thank Spencer Smith for being my best friend and setting a sharp example". :D. (Also of not in the album thanks: RR and JW of course, but also once again there are mysterious Jews somehow involved in the album production -- "The Cohens" -- and I would like to know who they are! Because I'm creepy that way.)
3. The really hilarious thing about Memories, and I don't remember who I discussed this with, is that it REALLY COULD IN REAL LIFE be a song about Ryan, and Brendon just hasn't realized it yet. Like, remember what he said about The Calendar? "And then I wrote a song about breaking up with a girlfriend BUT THEN ONE DAY I REALIZED IT WAS ABOUT RYAN AND JON"? Clearly Brendon hasn't honed his self-analysis skills to perfection yet. Maybe he just needs some time for the penny to drop.
4. Most importantly, Nearly Witches: SO. I REALLY DO THINK THIS IS A SONG SUNG BY A PSYCHO WHO WAS RAISED IN GABE'S BASEMENT, because in the last part of the chorus that he shouts at
3:10, I am 99.999999% sure that he's shouting "and I regret never letting you go!" WHICH HE OBVIOUSLY REGRETS BECAUSE HE KILLED HER. OR HIM. OR HAS LOCKED HIM/HER IN HIS DUNGEON UNDER THE CREEPY STAIRS AND NOW THEIR SPIRIT IS BROKEN FOREVER. This is so totally my favorite song, even MORE RHPS/Burtonesque than I'd thought it was. I want to read all about the AU where Brendon and Spencer find themselves in an parallel universe with utterly freaky crazy steampunk inventor versions of themselves, like, "Yeah, sure, I'd love some refreshm-- Brendon, did he just nibble raw slices of meat from Spencer's hand?" But they'd just be this like, weird Victorian very civilized couple with oddly inappropriate couples and Ryan trapped in their BDSM basement or something. And instead of finding inspiration by getting stoned they'd just shoot up with his perfume. Because that's what you do in steampunkland when you have no weed.
Okay, I must go now because I'm late to a Purim party which I have improvised a pirate costume for (with purple nail polish, because... that is what pirates have?, and now I feel like Elaine from Monkey Island III, RESPECT), so here are a few quick quick links:

Deconstruction of the Complete and Utter Insanity that is 'Batman: Odyssey', which I have not even finished reading but if you know Batman/comics at all, is amazing.
