Over a week without a post from me, I'm sure you've been pining.

O HAI!

I've had a week off from teaching/thesis work so actually opening the thesis chapter draft today counts for something, right? Granted, most I've done today is copy-paste some paragraphs around and feel detached about the whole concept of academia. Submitting PhD thesis before Christmas? Pfft, piece of cake.

Bandom groups playing covers of SPN songs will never not be funny.

Heh, even funnier is watching 80% of the audience be totally baffled by the song.

Holy shit, that was ridiculously awesome! Were- were they doing backwards somersaults on stage whilst playing guitar there?

(Ryan Ross, you need to step up your game if you're ever going to woo me back after that, like 'playing the mandolin on a trapeze dressed in a ballgown' levels of stepping up.)

I don't know exactly what they were doing there but a lot of writhing around on the floor was involved. They are all flexible boys...

What is RyRo doing nowadays? Last I heard he was sulking in Paris, living the hobo artiste dream or something... One only hopes cross-dressing is somehow involved.

Yay for funtimes!

Also, Oklahoma Cafeeeeee. <3

You've probably already done the reading? I'd prob pick Such Mercy. Which one did you do?

kat_lair May 19 2011, 22:48:03 UTC

Funtimes were awesome. Now I need to have a weekend of worktimes for make up to it...

Hee, I love that place and will take all my friends there :D

I actually did Such Mercy and it went down really well, though one of the comments was "I don't understand it, but it's very powerful" which made me lol.

Haa, but how cool that you made someone befuddled with the power of your poetry! :D

Bowties are cool!

kat_lair May 19 2011, 22:49:20 UTC

They really are!

Omg, Panic gloriousness. *drools a bit*

It looks like you had a wonderful time, indeed. I am quite envious that I still haven't been able to see them. I'm going to try my damndest to go see them when they're here next month. We'll see how that goes. :)

Thanks for sharing everything! ♥

ikr, they are some tasty, tasty boys.

I hope you manage to catch them alive. This was the second time I've seen them and it was awesome on both occasions.
