(There are maybe 10 of you who will recognize where I took the title of this post from, and are probably giggling to yourselves.)

Hey look at that! The world didn't end when the Large Hadron Collider was switched on. Of course, as several people have pointed out, there are all sorts of doomsday possibilities that would take a few weeks to really get started, but that just means everyone has time to prepare for the possible rip in space-time and/or a zombie uprising.

So I'm going to see the Sisters Of Mercy in November, when they play El Corazon. Because apparently I am an optimist, and think the show will be better than the last time I saw them. (You couldn't tell what songs were being performed thanks to the WALL OF DISTORTION, and the smoke machine was cranked so high that it set off the smoke alarm. Fun for everyone!) But my dear StuntHusband has never seen them live, AND [livejournal.com profile] stroppy_baggage is planning on attending. Mostly so we can tell people he's Uncle Andy's younger brother. (Because Andrew Eldritch really does look like he's the older, drug-addled brother of the Stroppy One. It's kind of eerie.)

Random gothy eye candy clicky-link: A pirate-loli photo shoot from [livejournal.com profile] egl. I think her outfit is lovely, and it is making me covet more stripey blouses.
Tonight: PETER MURPHY! ElderGoths, staple your hands to your foreheads!

Tomorrow: writing (oh, and have I mentioned I'm over the 75% done mark? Well, I am, and I am VERY PLEASED about that. We will not speak of revisions at this moment. No thinking of revisions until draft zero is done.), and then dressing up and going off to Club V at Lower CHAC for dancing.

Sunday: Er, more writing? Oh, and flailing about my upcoming business trip to Ottawa. Can I pack for a three day trip with just two pieces of carry-on luggage? Maybe if I don't bring a spare petticoat? I don't know. I think I had better do some test packing on Sunday.

Hey, recommend vampire movies to me. I've read an insane amount of vampire novels, but haven't seen a whole lot of vampire movies, because most of them are, well, dire. (However, I do own Queen Of The Damned, and watch it. Usually while drinking absinthe and giggling a lot, but I still do watch parts of it.) Yes, I've seen the usual ones: Dracula (the Tod Browning and the Coppola versions), The Hunger (David Bowie as a vampire! Peter Murphy in a cage!), The Lost Boys (we are not going to discuss how many times I've seen it in the theater. Let's just say that it hit the dollar theater close to my house the summer it was released, and leave it at that.), Nosferatu, 30 Days of Night (which I quite liked), Interview With The Vampire, Near Dark, From Dusk Til Dawn, Shadow Of The Vampire, both Blade movies (which were silly fun), the first Underworld movie (again, dumb, but fun). Give me other suggestions, please!

Product review time! I finally broke down and sent a tube of NARS Chandernagor lip color (my One True Lipstick, which has been discontinued, whaaah!) to 3Custom Color (clicky-link!). Review under a cut tag to spare those who don't care about custom-blended lipstick )

::makes fangirl flaily hands:: PETER MURPHY, PEOPLE! TONIGHT! Performing not just his music, but stuff from Bauhaus! I may even indulge in swirly eyeliner tonight, just to really go for the ElderGoth nostalgia.
Ha! Tickets for the Portland MCR show are MINE!

Hey, other folks who went to C13, refresh my memory: the Crystal Ballroom is not exactly a *large* venue, is it? I seem to remember it being on the smallish size. Or is that just wishful thinking in my giddy fangirl brain?
However, the short form:

The MCR show was fantastic. The boys have a very good sense of dramatics. Backdrops! Confetti cannons! Pyrotechnics!

Yes, I did end up with a Meet & Greet pass. No photos were allowed, and it was heavily regimented, so I only got about 30 seconds to talk to each of the boys. But I DID get to meet them, and they are absolute sweethearts.

(adorable! so damn adorable! I want to take them all out for coffee and just be able to chat with them for a while. and did I mention adorable? squeeeeeee!)

So! Show good! Band completely charming. Audience filled with kidlings, most of whom were very nice urchins.

And now, more tea. Thank goodness I took today off of work.
