Hi Dreamwidth, still geebling about MCR

What slays me most (I think) about the whole teaser trailer and concept for the new album is just HOW MUCH their dorktasticness is showing. Because let's face it, the boys are pretty much LARPing in the desert. We're a gang! A post-apocalyptic, punk rock gang! With ray guns! Fighting guys in masks! Did we mention that Grant Morrison is the bad guy? Because he totally is!"

(I really, REALLY want to know who in the band (if any of them) were behind which Twitter accounts.)

Aesthetic-wise, yeah, I preferred The Black Parade, because they kind of looked like the gothy love children of Adam Ant. (Hello, black military jackets with lots of silver buttons? Were you boys hiding in my closet, and if so, how the HELL did I not notice?) But this primary-colored, gleeful punk-rock comic book sensibility? This is going to be SO MUCH ridiculous, giddy fun.

WANT ALBUM NOW. NOW, NOW, NOW. Preferably hand-delivered to me by GWay, thanks. Also, start pointing me to the Danger Days AU fic NOW, peeps. I know some has already got to be out there.

Today = fun!

Good things about today:

- I discovered that the Blackbird Candy Shoppe has been absorbed into the Fieldhouse branch of Blackbird, and they do indeed still stock the Rococo Rose and Rococo Violet chocolate bars.

- I tried absinthe black salt caramels, and good heavens, are they tasty.

- I went to a birthday party for a lovely three year old girl, and got to play in a room full of bouncy castles. Giant bouncy castle slide! BOUNCY CASTLES. This may come as a surprise to some of you, but I love bouncy castles. LOVE.

- I have realized that I have the perfect velvet jacket and narrow pink ruffled trim to create a version of the jacket that zombieplaything drew me wearing.

- At the thrift store, I discovered a hardback book titled The Clovis Incident. Yes, I purchased it. I have no idea what it is about, and don't really care.

Wheee! I hope the coming week is as good as today.

Things that are amusing to ME, at least

The Husband has been playing Halo: Reach since it came out on Tuesday. The past few days, he's been playing multi-player in it. But on this particular map? Mission? Something? The Very Serious Halo Voice will occasionally say:

"Revenge."

"Killjoy."

It is taking ALL of my willpower not to turn to him and burble "Awww, the Halo game is excited about the new MCR album, too! Revenge AND Killjoys!"

I know he would not find this as amusing as I do. But I think it's hysterical.
