Okay, so we're hosting a shindig for the Olympic's at Loki's Bar thing. On me, with feeds for the games, particularly our local boys & girls.

And this will be -our- game. )

okay so it looks like I really picked the wrong point of the year to take a ten-day trip to Sedona and spend 90% of it deliberately oblivious to the Internet, TV, radio and any other news source. I was sort of vaguely, hazily aware of the fact that there were earthquakes; now there are weird fluffy creatures?

Are all my people okay? LOKI, if I don't hear from you or from Thor or Sif or Stark or something saying they know where you are, I'm stalking your ass to the end of this earth and back.

Here I was hoping to, like, post about my trip. I should maybe try to stay with it more -- I was just trying to experience Red Rock, guys. Stop letting the world fall apart, okay?

Loki? LOKI! Has any body seen my little brother? Likes magic and the lady Sif, good with horses, giant dog, all of that. I havent been able to get him at ALL and I'm woried about him. I've been rounding up strays and making sure there safe and calling their people when I can.

...Nobody lost an adorable puffball thing did they? Because I'll fight you to keep it if you did. He's some kind of hamster chinchilla thing and has the best pur ever. He is very blond and pleases me greatly. I shall call him Rocky.

...Where the hell did that come from? But Rocky it is anyway. I wish I knew if he needed special food or anything. So far he hasnt wanted the pelets I bought. Anybody know what these guys eat? Lots of people on the network seam to have them.

I feel like the most superficial person in the world sometimes because of the internet; everyone's talking about these horrible dreams and all this deep life stuff, and I'm like.

These press-on nail lacquers are amazing, now I have little cherries on my fingers, and it's very summery. Definitely worth sharing, but so not deep or all that interesting.

So to everyone who ignored the fact that yesterday was my birthday: Thank you!

Everyone else: My revenge will be slow, uncertain, and lethal.

This has been a public service message, brought to you by Valarnet and the number 27.

You know that low whistle you make when you're at a loss for words? How would one type that? Wooo? Hooo?

I was up all night. There's lots of stuff out there, on the internet. You know? Stuff you don't even realize. Like this lovely little number I stumbled upon in a darkened corner of the valar network.


Guys. This might be the best thing I have ever seen. I don't know who's been working on it, or if it will ever go to print, but there is no reason to ever buy another calendar ever again.

(ooc: All in good fun! React away! You can treat the images here like photos that were professionally taken, personal photos that were swiped, photoshopped images... Anything you like! I would have made about 100 more, but there are only 12 months this year. So if you don't see a pup you would have liked to seen in this, I'm super sorry. We'll get them next time! Obviously, this wouldn't have worked as well if I hadn't kept it a secret. But you guys like surprises, right?)

Filtered to Friends of Loki

[OOC: If you have a reason to think you are friends with Loki you're probably on this filter.]

Hello people!

I hope I've gotten everyone I think I've seen hanging around with and generally being friends with Loki. Anyway, for some weird reason he seems to have decided that I should be put in charge of planning his birthday party instead of doing it himself. Sif, also, has been tasked with some of this job. Now, I'm pretty sure his logic is that I know how skittish he can be and what kind of things he won't like, but I am totally not a one-person birthday party planner and I don't know everyone that's friends with him very well or what everyone else likes to do.

So! That is where this post comes in. With the magic of social networking, I open the floor to you all: Ideas? Suggestions? Thoughts? We have a little under a month (it's the 26th).

To last night's scavenger hunting team: thanks for bringing me along. I don't think I've done anything like that before, but it was fun.

So this is... not precisely the announcement I intended to make, at this particular hour, on this particular day.

Due to unforeseen circumstances involving the giraffe, tonight's magic show at Paramnesia has been canceled. Tickets purchased in advance for tonight's show may be applied to another show within 30 days. Those who display tickets for tonight's show may also get in free to tonight's alternate show, without a requirement that tickets be surrendered – or, in other words, if you already have a ticket for tonight, you can come in and still see the actual show on another day at no additional charge.

Otherwise, instead of the $35-80 ticket prices for the Thursday-night show, it's $5 per person, standard cover at the door, and we're hosting K A R A O K E )

Drinks are standard price, and if you have any questions, well, it's probably another three hours before things will be picking up anyway.

Oh, and I should add: 16+ with ID or parent/guardian. Assuming, that is, that anyone as young as 16 thinks that watching a lot of drunk adults perform karaoke is a good time.

As further incentive: realise this is Southern California; if you think you're good enough, you just might impress an agent or vocal coach or some such!

Happy Record Store Day, guys!

I've still got 5 CDs and one vinyl to give away, if anyone wants them, as well as a bunch of memorabilia of mine and some Smashing Pumpkins stuff and a Wilco CD.

Did anyone else do anything fun and music-y? We had a nice little do at the local record store and it was absolutely fantastic. Anyone I saw there, thanks for stopping in!

So in case anyone was curious, in the end the dress I chose for the release was this one. There were others I liked a little better but they were over a thousand dollars and, um, no.

That is going to be the worst day of my life. Getting fully turned over to a team of stylists. Next I'll be worrying about my Roseland Ballroom tour dates or something.

Who wants to go shopping?! I'm in a good mood and my brother is giving me a bit of an allowance to get a new wardrobe.

Posting the flyer is completely failing to work right now, because of something being up with my scanner, and I very decisively don't have a copy of the initial image on my computer. I'm not a graphic designer, and so the crib (I think that's what you call it) wasn't living on my machine anyway. Suffice to say it looks really good, though, and if you've seen it somewhere I'm glad to hear that!

So instead I'm just doing a text post, because that is what blogs are for, really, is text, I think!

Consider this your official invitation (yes you -- all of you -- everyone who can read this) to my record release party, which you can buy tickets to here: [handwave link] for $10, or $15 at the door. The show starts at 8pm on Tuesday, April 3rd at Paramnesia in Anaheim, at [address].

The album will actually have come out that morning, so if you want to know the songs in advance you can buy them online from the same website, or pick up a CD at a physical record shop. iTunes is a moneygrabber so I didn't release there. If you really want to help out me and the crew financially, though, picking up a copy at the show is the best way to do it!

The songs can also be played through the site without purchase, but please don't rip them with Wiretap or anything, that's just rude -- to the music, the quality is terrible and the actual for-purchase downloads are lossless files. It sounds a lot better. Don't rip songs. It's music abuse.

Bullshit Roy Can Do Without


[info]imnosidekick
[info]valarnet
For the record, everyone's allowed to add on to the list with your own Bullshit You Can Do Without. Participation is a fun thing here. Or some bullshit like that.

1. Motherfucking cat memes. look, Caterday was fun a couple years ago, when all you people were in High School. Time to grow up, get a clue, and leave the shit alone. Those of you who aren't in high school, maybe it's a thing in Italy, or recluse land, but fucking seriously, man. The cats are getting OLD.

2. Running out of vicodin and having to go through the drawn out stupid process of trying to get more. It's not like I pop more than about three a day, and I can go without it without having bad withdrawal, but holy shit, it hurts.

3. The Evil Bitch Therapist's idea of a massage. Where'd you learn that one, lady, Guantanamo? Combine that with the lack of pain meds and you start to get my message pretty clear I think.

4. Shoplifting bastards on my shift. Do you idiots really need a tongue ring badly enough that you have to run off with it when somebody opens the case? And who the fuck steals two bucks worth of hair dye and a living dead doll? Do people actually do shit with those things? How the fuck did you manage to walk out of the store with that while I was on my break? I know my co-workers are idiots and vampires who can't see in the light or some excuse but seriously, HOW?

5. Breaking bowstrings while I'm shooting. Breaking bowstrings that snap against my cheek while I'm shooting. Bitch motherfucking HURTS and now I've got a papercut all on my face. Yeah, that's attractive when you're starting a new job, now isn't it?

6. People calling me an angry bird. It was funny the first ten times, but now it's getting really old, and if I were an angry bird, I'd break your stupid glass houses right now.

7. Email spam from my former godfather's box. I'm not even touching that, but damn it gives me feels, as you people on tumblr say. And I don't do with feels that well.

So go ahead. What's pissing you people off today?

27 days, 11 hours and 52 minutes until the release of the stupid album.

I still can't tell anyone its name. We're working on organizing the party – and by "we" I mostly mean "Loki, Astrid and my management team of weevils" because I'm not contributing much of anything except for nods and headshakes – and I'm slowly going out of my mind.

That's nearly a month, except it isn't.


ETA: Timeanddate.com no longer lets me post their little countdown box things, and I felt like going Daisychain was going too far since it's not like I'm talking about a pregnancy or a wedding here.

The dorky part of me that likes countdowns instead of wanting to be sick over them is so sad.

There is not enough coffee in the world for this Tuesday morning. Note to self, never let Maeglin convince me staying out till 4 in the morning on a Monday is a good idea ever again.
