Eeee! Birthday!!!
HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS! to fajrdrako!!!
Ideally, I would have got Gerard Way to sing Happy Birthday to you, but MCR being on hiatus, you know... Instead, here's the clip with the "Thirty's the new twenty." "For trees!" exchange between Gerard and Frank. :D
Have a fantastic day filled with all the things you enjoy - and may the next year be wonderful too! -
Someone take my credit card away from me!
Help! The more I spend, the easier it seems to get. Especially when things are on sale!
You'd think I'd be being careful, wouldn't you, after a major outlay on the new computer just last week? A sensible person would, I'm sure.
::sticks fingers in ears and whistles unconcernedly::
The damage so far:
- Oscar and Lucinda on dvd for £2.99 with ( Read more... ) -
Me? Not ded!
My computer, OTOH, is very dead - BUT I HAVE A NEW ONE! ::does a dance of joy and jubilation:: I took the plunge and ordered a new system and got it all set up successfully, including a 19" LCD monitor which deserves a litle joyful dance of its own. The only problem is my internet connection - basically, I don't have one, and haven't been able to ( Read more... ) -
Adventures in cd-buying
I've been tormented for weeks by the knowledge that a local record shop had a different version of My Chemical Romance's debut album I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, with videos of two of their earliest songs on it. Irresistable, no? Even though I already own the album on cd, bought from Play back in May during my first flush of ( Read more... ) -
The fangirling continues apace...
One of these days, I will post about something other than Gerard Way and The Umbrella Academy. Today, however, is not that day. ;)
Neat write-up of Gerard Way and Grant Morrison's ComicCon panel with more detail than I've seen elsewhere. Though I think they're wrong in attributing "It's the X-Men for cool people" to Gerard. I saw that reported ( Read more... ) -
Playing dress-up in the Umbrella Academy universe
Article on Gerard's ComicCon panel with Grant Morrison in which he reveals that "he dresses like he lives in The Umbrella Academy universe when working on the book". Oh Gee! Could he be any more geekily perfect? He's having such fun with all this ( Read more... ) -
The Umbrella Academy strikes again!
I'm filled with RIDICULOUS levels of GLEE over the news that The Umbrella Academy won an Eisner Award for best limited series. That's pretty damn impressive! Go Gerard Way, comic book author!! I mean, I'm sitting here grinning like an idiot, so I can't even IMAGINE the glee-faces that Gerard is making... I am SOOOO happy for him! ::clasps hands to ( Read more... ) -
Assorted Umbrella Academy fun stuff
Ok, so I promised fajrdrako Gerard Way picspam but have just spent two hours collecting the following links, so I'm going to post them instead. The picspam will be forthcoming, eventually - and hey, anticipation is half the fun! Isn't it? ::grins evilly::
Teenage Vanya and the Kraken, and their Punk Band shenanigans! It's a NEW Umbrella Academy story: ( Read more... ) -
A love letter to Supernatural
I wasn't expecting very much from this show. In fact, I only ended up owning the dvds of the first half of season one because I came across them secondhand in Edinburgh and thought that, well, something that brynnmck posts so enthusiastically about was probably worth a try. After all, she wasn't wrong about the magic of due South or Slings and Arrows or ( Read more... ) -
SPN speculation - end of season 3
Just home from work, and I'm itching to watch yesterday's episode of Supernatural, the one before the last for this season ( Read more... )
