What? I missed Methos on Smallville? Goddammit, you people need to tell me these things!

I'll have to download that. Anyone know if he is recurring or just in one episode?

brighidestone has a great post here.

Tomorrow, I try to get Nine Inch Nails tickets. They are going to sell out in 2 seconds flat. Pray for me. (I want to see both NYC shows and both Philly shows, but I suspect I will be lucky to get tickets to even one.)

Hotmail is being a complete bitch; for the last few days it has been showing me an empty inbox, and only occasionally allowing me to actually see messages. I suppose I should make the switch to gmail... *sigh* It's just that I've had this hotmail account for 6 years or so, and it's so convenient to have everything in one place...

I need a new alias. drinkthepoison has got to go. But rustyhalo is way too common, and impossible to get without some weird permutation. I'm really surprised I got a fairly simple version of it for LJ.

Myspace.com is weird. I don't get the point of talking to strangers if it's not about fandom. WTF do normal people talk about? I don't even know. The weather?

I was talking to

10zlaine about this last night (for 5 1/2 hours, damn). Fandom is so nice for us socially awkward people because we can skip the excruciating smalltalk and go straight to the battle-to-the-death shipper wars and stuff like that. (Y'know, the fun parts of conversation where you actually care about what you're discussing.)

Also, I must say I am intensely amused by the fact that several members of KMFDM have Myspace accounts.

So, my research indicates that the place to go for decent KMFDM talk is the forums at theultraheavybeat.com. There doesn't seem to be anywhere decent for Raymond Watts talk; the choice is between thesickcity.com (nasty assholes) and raymondwatts.com (slobbering sycophants). *sigh*

Seven new messages and I can't see any of them. *kills hotmail*

Threaded | Flat

You know, I have this theory - fannish preferences reflect our values and ideas and other stuff we care deeply about. So fandom is actually a media for us to explore those things. A language all its own.

*is a geek*

Hope you get tickets for NIN - keeping my fingers crossed for you.

5.5? heh...

Hair is a tad bit darker, and it didn't turn out as purply, but still about the same red, but more uniform and tidy and more color down the length of the area (we kept the same area for the most part...) So, looks pretty good.

msn was been doing that to me too - making me go to the website and prove I'm human two or three times a day - they are trying to get people to switch to paid accounts, but if you complain enough, like I did, they stop doing it and send you this:

"Dear MSN Member,

Do you need a gmail invite? I have FIFTY.
