things which are pretty awesome

and which are thus cheering me up pretty handily.

1) Director's cut commentary by FOB on TTYG songs. SRSLY. More bands need to do video commentary on their songs. Especially if they cannot seem to help themselves when air-drumming and/or air-guitaring along.

2) Butch Walker drunk and trying to sing/play "Bohemian Rhapsody" and completely fucking up and going, "Oh! Shit! Oops!" and being kind of super adorable about R&B intros to songs (omg, seriously, he's such a dork. it's fucking adorable).

3) Patrick's utter glee at people thinking Arms Race was one of the Babyface songs.

4) Disneyland. More specifically, reenacting the elevator ride from The Haunted Mansion.

5) The long, involved, and insanely dorky conversation I and two coworkers had about various superpowered characters. It included things like:
Boy I Am Not Dating No Matter What Anyone Says: "I heard they're thinking of making a Green Lantern movie."
Me: "Oooh! Which flavor of Green Lantern?"
Other Guy: "There's more than one Green Lantern? Is he the one with the arrows?"
Me: "No! That would be Green Arrow."
Other Guy: "Did they run out of colors?"
Boy I Am Not Dating: "Blue Arrow just sounds stupid."

and

Other Guy: "I kind of wish they'd do Dark Phoenix in the movies."
Me: "...oh, X3."
Other Guy: "Bad?"
Boy I Am Not Dating: "So bad."
Me: "WHY WERE WOLVERINE'S PANTS INDESTRUCTIBLE?"

and

Me: "I dunno, I think it would kind of suck to be Marrow."
Boy I Am Not Dating: "Marrow? What power?"
Me: "Bones."
Other Guy: "Bones?"
Me: "Bones."
Boy I Am Not Dating: "That's kind of a sucky power."
Me: "Well, they grow? And then she pulls them out and hits people with them."
Boy I Am Not Dating: "That just made it sound worse."
Me: "Sometimes she stabs them! I think it's also painful."
Other Guy: "*Bones*?"
Me: "She's cranky an awful lot."

and

Boy I Am Not Dating: "Wait, Justice League was a cartoon?"
Me: "Yes!"
Boy I Am Not Dating: "Are we talking about Superfriends?"
Me: "No."
Other Guy: "Wonder Twins activate!"
Me: "Yeah, pretty much not like that. I think Kevin Smith could do Justice League. They're all really bitchy to each other."
Boy I Am Not Dating: "Even Batman?"
Me: "*Especially* Batman."
Other Guy: "What about Superman?"
Me: "He's bitchy too! But like. In a nice way. With pie."
Boy I Am Not Dating: "Everyone in your world is bitchy."
Me: "Or cranky."
Boy I Am Not Dating: "Or they kick each other in the nuts."
Me: "Sometimes there is punching! It's how they show affection!"
Boy I Am Not Dating: "Right."
Me: "Nothing says I love you like an ass-branding!"

zombies zombies everywhere and not a brain to eat

You know, I was HUGELY excited about 28 Weeks Later based on nothing more than that it is a sequel to 28 Days Later and that means Zombies! Postapocalypse! FTW! And then I see the_grynne's latest post about it and dude, that's *it*. I am *done*. This is officially the movie I am looking forward to the most this year (um, except for like, Sunshine, for pretty much the exact same reasons). Because seriously, how am I supposed to resist a movie with Zombies! Postapocalypse! FTW! Plus IDRIS ELBA! IDRIS FREAKING ELBA. I love Idris Elba. And Harold Perrineau! And Rose Byrne! And Robert Carlyle! I cannot resist THAT MUCH AWESOME!

Also: "Shrinking Universe" - The Muse song from the 28 Weeks Later trailer (from Hullabaloo, disc 1. sendspace file).

Muse/MCR

...ARE YOU SHITTING ME THAT MCR JOINS MUSE ON TOUR FOUR DAYS AFTER I GET TO SEE MUSE?

AUGH.

So, I briefly held out hope that with the tour delay on FOB's part*, that I could maybe drag fox1013 to a concert in Anaheim or SD during comic con. But I am thwarted continually by the machinations of time and tour dates.

Stupid time, making things difficult for me.

*Personal issues? Oh dear.
