the journal of a fangirly insect

I love it when DCBS updates their site at the beginning of each month. It's like Christmas every time, sorting through all of the goodies and wondering what I'm going to order. I don't have as much money to blow on comics as I used to, but I still set aside a bit each month.

And while browsing through the specials, I found a title called "Jesus Hates Zombies." Intrigued, I clicked, and got this description:

No one knows for certain what caused it, but in only six days a zombie plague swept across the Earth, consuming three quarters of the world's population. Disgusted by the sight of the walking dead devouring His precious creation, God has sent back His only Son to once again set right the wrongs of the world. But this time, there's no room to turn the other cheek. This time, the message isn't one of love and compassion. This time, the J-Man is looking to unleash some Wrath of God, because this time Jesus hates zombies!

So I had to click on the picture, of course. And I didn't think it was possible, but it got even better.



Oh my god. With that description and that cover? I needed to have this thirty-five minutes ago. :D

Haha, I just got an email from the FBI Team!

( Hello everybody, this is the F.B.I TEAM speaking!. )

This is probably the funniest spam email I've received all week. XD

I had one of the most epic, crackstastic, crossover dreams last night. XD I guess this is what I get for reading The Welsh Girl, listening to the Eagles, squeeing over Dexter, and reading Marvel Zombies all before going to bed. Basically, Nazis were trying to covertly take over the world, and it was going to happen at an Eagles concert (which cost $1000 a ticket) when they played the song "Desperado." I was Dexter and Rita wanted to go, but I ended up sending her to go with Deb instead, for I was a Nazi in a previous life and was like a secret agent for them. But then Deadpool showed up and cut off my head, but since I was also secretly a zombie, that didn't matter, and I managed to bite him, turning him into Zombiepool. And then he crashed the Eagles concert and made everyone there zombies, including the Nazis. And then Silver Surfer showed up to herald the coming of Galactus to devour our world, but we killed him and peeled off his shiny metal skin, and beneath that was chocolate! And it was delicious chocolate.

I don't even know what to say about that one, except LOL.

Phantom of the Opera
June 19, 2009
Charlotte, NC

46th time seeing the show! I'm getting old. XD

Cast
Phantom - Tim Martin Gleason
Christine - Kelly Jeanne Grant (alt...ish) [note at the bottom]
Raoul - Sean MacLaughlin
Andre - DC Anderson
Firmin - Michael McCoy (drat, I missed seeing Bruce Winant again by less than two weeks!)
Carlotta - Tonna Miller (I think Kim Stengel is on vacation)
Mme Giry - Nancy Hess
Piangi - John Whitney
Meg - Jessi Ehrlich

Random note: I hate, hate, hate downtown Charlotte. Practically every street I wanted to take was closed and had no marked detour, so I was all turned around and almost late. :P

( stuff below the cut )

And now I am off to find a grocery store so I can make some lunch. XD

NOTE [August 19, 2009]: I originally thought that I had seen Trista Moldovan as Christine, mainly because there was no announcement before the show, no understudy/change of cast slips in the playbill, and no mention on the understudy board (which is the very first thing I check once inside the lobby, as anyone who has seen the show with me knows) telling us that we would not be seeing Trista as Christine that night. I never would have known otherwise if Trista herself had not messaged me (twice within a six hour span, no less) about changing the cast listing error. I apologize for the unintentional mistake, because I had no idea that reviews posted on the intarwebz are such SRS F'IN BZNS.



Also, comments now disabled because the lulz have been had and the macros have been made and the mocking has been fun, but now I think we are all done. Maybe. ;)

Soooooooooooooooooo.

Oh man. So I spent all of this time working on a Deadpool custom mood theme, and guess what I just remembered? This journal style doesn't show my mood pics! D: Now do I part with my beautiful butterflies or keep kicking myself in the ass for spending all of this time on a mood theme and not being able to use it?

I had a little to drink tonight. Results? Beaver's stealing my kidney and I wrote 4000+ words.

I got a Hannibal Lecter action figure today - the one where he is in the prison cell. The only question I have is why didn't I get him before today? I mean, seriously. I love Hannibal, and the prison scene is one of my favorites, and IT IS IN ACTION FIGURE FORM. This should have been a complete no-brainer.





My poor Ozy bust! He looks kind of scared that Hannibal is going to brain him there, I think. ;)

5,000 / 50,000 (9.0%)

Thanks to taking part in mini_nanowrimo, I feel all inspired and stuff! One hundred words a day for the month of November - surely I can accomplish THAT, right?

It bothers me greatly that the counter says that I've completed 9% of my goal, when 5000 is clearly 10% of 50,000... XD

And, so this post isn't completely pointless - eBay lolz! Phantom of the Opera old fashioned key with tassel! It's not the key/tassel combination itself that makes me LOL (I hate that in the movie though, with Gerik locking Christine in her dressing room - I much prefer Christine locking Raoul out of her dressing room), but the description.

A Key to lock out Raoul from Christine's life...

A Beautiful addition to any Phantom of the Opera collector's collection.

How can one forget when Erik locked out Raoul, in the hope of winning her heart.

The symbol of his hold on her...

In the movie, the Phantom turns the key to Christine's dressing room. A key that looks like this one. A key to keep Raoul out.

Because nothing says love like locking someone in a room so she can't escape when you put the moves on her.

Wannnnnnnnnnnnnt!!! Is that not one of the coolest things ever? Also, these. Mmm, makes me think of a scene in the movie Hannibal! XD

Also, a little smidgen of progress:

4,456 / 50,000 (8.0%)

Seriously. I'm getting at least four a day now, mostly for McCain, and it's driving me crazy. From seven in the morning until ten at night, there are robocalls. Ugh. Ironically, caller ID usually identifies the caller as "person to perso" (it runs out of space for the additional "n"), which is silly because there is no other person on the line, just a computer.

However, if they were more like this robocall from California, I might be more entertained. ;)

I went outside and smelled something delicious in the air. It smelled like hamburgers on the grill to me, and though I'm not a fan of hamburgers, I still think the scent is delicious.

And then my neighbors' kids came running out of the house and I could hear the smoke alarm blaring. Apparently the "delicious smell" was actually my neighbor trying to cook chicken on a cookie sheet (lol wut? even I know better than that) and nearly burning down the house in the process. XD

I un-friended all of the abandoned journals and people who haven't updated in more than six months; if I accidentally deleted anyone, let me know.
