So many random things happening. Don't expect this to be linear.

- The teaser trailer for season three of Interview with the Vampire/The Vampire Lestat has arrived! I am in a state of giddy fangirl screaming and I want the season RIGHT NOW, DAMMIT. I also want a CD and tour shirt. Anyway, remember how when the casting for the show was announced that I was super-skeptical of Sam Reid, and then I watched episode 1 and said "Yep, that's Lestat"? My god, the man has obviously been possessed by the spirit of my egotistical rock star vampire boyfriend, yesssssssss. 

- I'm trying to decide if I want to watch The Talamasca, which is based on Anne Rice's books. On the one hand, I've always been interested? Charmed? Something? by the idea of a supernatural observer group and have always wanted more details. On the other hand, I'm concerned that the show will be more like The Mayfair Witches than Interview with the Vampire, and I'm not up for hate-watching another show.

- I bought another Beetlejuce corset-back blazer from La Femme en Noir, with the intent of dying it pink. I'm not worried about how the fabric will take the color, I'm just not sure how to dye it. There's no way it'll fit in my dye pot, which means I either need to get a Rubbermaid tub and fill it with near-boiling water and dye, or bribe a friend with a top loading washing machine. 

- Not only am I going to see MCR in L.A. next year, but I'm now going to a Ghost concert in Seattle in Feb. I don't listen to them a lot, but I think they're entertaining and put on a wonderfully theatrical and over-the-top show. 

- The Powers That Be are having fun dropping anvils on me via cartomancy: every card for the past few weeks has been about focusing on my magical practices and putting energy into what makes me happy and grounded, because, as the 10 of Wands hit me with yesterday, OH HEY I'M OVER-EXTENDED AND COURTING BURNOUT. (Thank god I'm not using one of the bitchier decks right now.)

- Bloodmilk Jewels has released limited edition pendants of comedy and tragedy jack o' lanterns. Peev got me the comedy one, with the caveat that it'll be my Christmas present. I'm dithering on if I want to buy the tragedy one so I have the set to wear as part of my 24/7 neck mess. I think I do, because I need to be better at acknowledging difficult and upsetting things/emotions/situations happen but I don't need to keep my brain in them. But still, $260. Ooof.

Fiber reactive dyeing can be done at room temp and should take well on that fabric.

As a followup to that, chose a dye designed for polyester, even tho' it's a blend. Cotton fiber will begrudgingly take a cotton dye while the poly fiber will laugh heartily and go out for a beer.

Cute necklace only I wish they had made it double sided as that is a lot to dish out for two.

One of my friends said "Does Sam Reid even need to get paid?" He's having FUN.

You'll have a great time at your concerts!

Good for you in recognising that you need to manage yourself and your time a little more cautiously. Take a little time of from planning to just chill :-)

I'm also excited for IwtVs3/TVL! Sam Reid has been possessed by the spirit of Lestat, that man was made to play that role.

I was so disappointed by Mayfair Witches, & I don't have much hope for Talamasca since it's not specifically based on books. They *had* books w/Mayfair & just pitched them out the window, which is odd since Interview has been (so far) such a deeply thoughtful reimagining of the books by ppl who seem to know & love them.

He really has. That trailer was everything.
