there'd be no distance that could hold us back

Sara's long overdue yet extremely brief thoughts on MCR's Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. So this is a bit different, isn't it? John & Sam hated it straight away, and initially both Sean and I thought it was. Well. Very safe sounding. before I really listened to it over and over again, there wasn't a lot I liked about it save for a few of the catchier songs. Just musically, it's less interesting & has less hooks, not that it isn't well-executed, and Plantetary GO seems to take a strange sojourn into disco land while there's overall less Gerardesque singing and strangely a lot of synth and doubled Geerad vocals but it still gels pretty well.

Agreeing with moondarri here: it's a repeater. I'm still not too keen on Scarecrow, but Danger Days is quickly joining my jams playlist :) Despite the above bitching, I've learned not to be so srs bsns about it and embrace the technicolor rockage!


And catching up on the Big Finish audios I've been lax on picking up the past, oh, most-of-the-year, I'm again awash in Doctor Who love, especially my boys Five and Eight :3 Big Finish finally convinced Janet Fielding to come back to the fold and so there's new episodes with Five, Nyssa, Turlough, and Tegan omfgy ^__^ Eight has a new companion who I haven't really warmed up to yet (Lucie was a hard act to follow), but I do get Paul McGann being deliciously bitchy and snappish as the Doctor so it's a nice trade off. And it was just announced on the Classic Who official Twitter that the remastered Mara Tales are going to be released imminently fucking finally. Love me some floppy hair!Five and evil!Tegan.

I have not yet watched this year's Christmas special, so NO SPOILERS YO, but I do understand there is Michael Gambon and apparently it's the best ep since Blink or so I hear and that is MUY EXCITING. I must rewatch series 5 <3

Going to do a teeny bit of friend cleaning; mostly people I have little to no things in common with or who I don't talk to in, like, ever. Most of you are safe :)

Actual post when I get some coffee in me. But first! House cleaning go!

Oh my god, I am aliiiiiive and back home. Birthday with Dad was fine, grandma got drunk and was really obnoxious, things are well :) Will chat some more about it when I've had a fair amount of sleeeep.

MCR <3


Oh, it's been too long, boys.

Hey guys,

If I haven't been around/won't be around very consistently, it's because my dad just had back surgery and I'm going to be looking after him for the next week or so. Thanks, and if anyone needs me/wants to say hi, go ahead and use this entry :)

Got a DW layout figured out. The place isn't really all that different from LJ, just no bustling fandomness and less attempted reaming in the ass of one's privacy. From now on I'll be crossposting, though, so sorry if it's at all bothersome.

Anyone else want to email LJ billing for refunds? Only fair if they're ignoring their own terms of use, amirite?

Whew. As for a non-RAEG post, some adorable:

Martin Freeman: They’ve lit me very roundly. That’s why I look round, otherwise I look very chiseled in real life.

Mark Gatiss: You do look chiseled.

Martin: Chiseled out of what? Plasticine?!

Benedict Cumberbatch: Marshmallowww.

Halp, please talk me out of getting a gaming mouse.


Nikki, I'm looking at you D:

New OST stuff has been leaked for WoW: Cataclysm. I'm a HUGEHUGE dork for this alone, but there's a mishmash of nerdy references on top of that. An NPC named Horatio Laine, who wears sunglasses and, I assume, makes extremely bad one liners, is investigating the death of a beloved horse in Westfall. The theme music for (what I assume to be) the Who Killed Old Blanchy? questline has, well, some rather close instrumental similarities to a movie about a certain Victorian consulting detective. Also, the track is called Mysterious (a Mystery is afoot!) Blizzard, you cheeky bastards.

But yeah, the new music is IMMENSE. Even if you have no interest in Warcraft whatsoever, it's totally worth a listen :D A few of my favorites from the new expansion:

The Shattering, wherein WoW lets its Lord of the Rings show.
The Night Elves
Cold Mountain, which is far too beautiful to just be generic music for areas like Alterac and other mountainous regions.
Nordrassil
The Skywall

If anyone spoils Sherlock for me I will end you.

Fuck my life, I can't watch it till I finish doing this other thing tonight. Goddamnit.
