annakovsky wrote Super Mario Brothers fic. And it's really good. Rated G, but subtexty. Mario & Luigi.

Sometimes I totally love fandom. :)

Although speaking of fandom--I don't have one. It's weird. Nothing is tapping into that obsessive side of my brain. I will still post occasional fannish stuff in this journal, but I think for the most part it's turning into a personal journal. If you're JUST reading for fannish stuff, you may want to defriend. I won't be offended. (Chances are I'll get hooked on a new fandom eventually, but I don't know when or what it'll be.)

Oh, and Common Rotation tonight. drujan and I are going. I'm done with Buffy fandom, but I still genuinely like their music, and it's always fun to chill at the Bitter End, get drunk, chat with your friends, and enjoy the band. (I'm frustrated that 10zlaine can't go, though, because this would've been the perfect weekend to hang out, but she's trapped with her mother and no internet in FL--eek!--the substance of my nightmares...)

My roommate's moving out on June 29. [On my birthday, no less.] Anyone looking for a place to... oh, never mind. Back to Craiglist and no social life for a month. >:(

You know how everyone was complaining about how this spring was really cold and how they couldn't wait for the warmth of summer? I would like to slap everyone who said that. *dies from heat*

Yeah, there's really no point to this post, except to pimp that Mario Bros fic, because damn, that rocked. I can't tell you how many hours of my life I've spent playing SMB3 on an ancient NES.... and now I'll never think of Mario & Luigi the same way again... ;)

Common Rotation at the Bitter End

I had a great time seeing Common Rotation tonight.

drujan and I ate first at an Indian restaurant nearby on Bleecker, which was very good. (Their papadam--the crunchy bread stuff--kicked ass.)

We headed over to the Bitter End a bit before 8pm, and it actually wasn't that crowded--I was surprised by the small audience. We got seats easily, to the left of the stage, with a great view. And I must say, their 2-drink-minimum rule is a nice enticement to get drunk. :)

I was really impressed by the show, more so than the last one I saw there. It was just Adam and Eric, with occasional Jordan, and this guy who I didn't know. Since my favorite aspect is the lyrics and vocal harmonies, I was in heaven. The performances were great, particularly "Clear Channel" and "Belfast." They played a slowed-down version of "Gone Dyin'" which was freaky since the cool thing about that song is the irony of such depressing lyrics to such a happy tune. But overall, it was excellent.

I really recommend these guys; if they're in your area, check them out. :)
