like I had nothing to worry about, 'cept the rock'n'roll

[reflectedeve]

This has been the wackiest of weeks.

The BND show on Tuesday with fuschia, inkjunket, and greendreaming was mostly fabulous, although All Time Low is pretty much permanently on my shitlist for the disgusting things they were saying to their severely underaged audience. >:( Apart from that, though! I haven't paid much attention to Hey Monday because I can't really get into their music, but Cassadee is a tiny dynamo. ♥ Not sure I want to ship her with anyone, but people should totally write Decaydance ensemble fic featuring her. (Oh man, I haven't read bandom ensemble fic in ages.) Cobra and FOB were each predictably fabulous . . . I don't even know, Pete Wentz. I do not even know. ♥ His attempts at making a political statement were pretty damn faily, and then there was his having to be extracted from the audience by large body guards, twice (once separately from his bass). Also, Patrick sounded great; from what people have said, I guess he must have done some training.

On Wednesday I enjoyed a relaxing day off with new comics and the angelology book I picked up from the university library (comic project research). Unfortunately, I proceeded to lose my cell phone, freak out, and stand up my friend for dinner. /o\

Today, I arrived at work to find things in some disarray due to a suspected case of the H1N1 virus on campus. Fun times! My boss stayed home, so under her advice I wound up leaving, though I'm not sure that was really necessary. Of course, the Comcast people showed up on my street about ten minutes after I got home and made my internet kaput, and now I'm sitting in a cafe trying to get my shiny new dreamwidth account set up.

About that: there are a lot of opinions flying around, and I fall somewhere in the middle of them. Maybe I'll get into that later. I'm probably going to import my LJ entries and start crossposting sometime soon; I'll make any further decisions once I see how things go. I've only subscribed to a few people, because you guys are hard to keep track of, but I'll try and catch up over the weekend. I have A Winter's Tale with hermionesviolin tonight.

Lastly, because life really isn't boring right now, I am really excited about my bbbartists claim! And nervous! I can't wait to read my draft and start planning ideas. :DDD

Do you think they will have an actual bear? :D?

I am all over the map when it comes to Dreamwidth, but I am falling on the side of "cautiously excited, but not sure what I'm doing with it" because I have finally realized that most of the overexcitement and resulting grumpiness is a lot the same as when like half your flist all of a sudden gets into a new fandom that you feel kind of ambivalent about.

Alas, no actual bear. Actually, it was an odd choice . . . instead of actually being pursued by the bear, he ran off behind a curtain and we saw the silhouette of a giant claw reach out and grab him.

I guess I can see that, although there seem to be annoying extremes on both sides. IDK, I like the idea of DW but don't think it'll work out the way some people are hoping. Mostly I'm going to wait and see, but I kind of wish people would, y'know, chill out.

Holy cow, I had forgotten you'd be so close to the swine flu drama.

I was taken by surprise, which was kind of silly in retrospect: it could have been a lot closer to me, given that plenty of our professors and students travel constantly. (The suspected cases have all been at the school of dental medicine so far, which shares a campus with us and the med school, but is its own separate institution.)

I think things will probably have calmed down a lot (at least, at my work) by Monday.
