I approve of the concept of a Chocolate Jesus

[randomling]

-While watching one music channel or other with ephemera last night, I finally managed to catch "Four Minutes". Verdict: oh my God, the song sucks. Justin needs a fucking shave, and, dude, what's with the scarf? And Madonna is scary. But the concept (CGI scary thing takes over the world) is just fab, and the special effects of people's bodies being eaten away are truly awesome, and I've discovered that I'm sick, because the end, where Justin's chest disappears, is just fucking hot. And they can both dance, I'll grant you that. It's also filled me with plot bunnies, but the plot bunnies are not nice in any way.

-Speaking of plot bunnies, I have so much writing to do, it's not even funny. I need to fix the porn (aha, that's been on the to-do list for so long), finish my Momma-fic which will now have to be for phaballa's birthday, and then there's Dragons and Remix. I think I'm addicted to to challenges, people.

-I went to see The Wombats last night, again with ephemera, and it was totally fab. I haven't really ever been to a gig like that before and it was not quite what I was expecting but it was truly great. I came away going "I must now memorize their album so I know all the lyrics next time". Highlights: Let's Dance To Joy Division (obviously!); they opened with a little a capella song, which is just designed to make me go squee; they had a giant 10ft inflatable wombat in sunglasses! (Anyone who is familiar with the above wombat icon will get an idea why I approve.) Their logo is also a yellow diamond like an Australian road warning sign, which I love, because my sister brought me back one of those signs (saying Wombats 10km) from Australia the first time she went. The second support, I Was A Cub Scout, were also pretty cool, although the first support were a bit dull (although. Floppy spastic weirdo dancing for the win).

-Friday night was JAMES MARSTERS WOO. He is adorable like puppies, and also, hot like burning, and his music is pretty damn cool. Also, he can sing. (Men with good voices really really do it for me.) He has a song called "Chocolate Jesus", which, yes. Also a song about having a crush on an underage girl but nobly not having sex with her (go James!). The support for that was also pretty awesome - his name was Ben Mark or possibly Denmark (I think Ben Mark) and he had some really lovely songs. And a very strong voice.

-I need to go icon hunting. There are so many icons to be had.

Heh, my thoughts exactly. Though he does have an even more interesting scarf in these pictures:

Yay, mommafic!

The concerts sound like so much fun. Backstreet soon, yes?

Backstreet on the 14th, AJ on the 15th, I'm sooo excited!

Dude, what the fuck is up with that scarf? It looks like he bought it at a flea market...

Definitely from a flea market. Except that it was actually a tablecloth. :D

I've been addicted to popslash challenges for a long time. Thankfully that doesn't seem to be the case in bandom or I'd have less of a real life than I do now.
