stuff I might be obsessed with, just a little

[rm]

The Clockwork Dolls. It's big, it's pompous, it's a bit insane and some of the tracks sound ever so slightly like a cross between the Pirates of the Carribean soundtrack and that SNL Space Olympics thing with a dash of Fritz Lang's Metropolis thrown in. BUT BUT BUT, it's SO GOOD. I just sent Kali the link to Blades in Autumn and told her it sounded like shit young pureblood wizards would listen to. And then like a minute later I emailed again with the addendum, "or maybe teen Time Lords!"

Anyway, you should go listen to this big pompous earworm. There is narrative. And it is So Good.

I feel like I don't really wear dresses enough lately to justify my desire for this, but it's super cute and I could rock the shit out of it, especially as my I'm Not Reall Cosplaying At Dragon*Con look, ne?

Oh my. You *could* rock that dress. Yes.

[roadnotes.livejournal.com]

Agreed. That dress is designed for you.

Why is that dress not in your possession already???

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

Totally! (And silk would be very comfortable, I'm sure.)

[lovefromgirl.livejournal.com]

Gah. Those dresses actually come in sizes I can wear. *whimper* Someday, even on a meager professor's salary, I swear I'll own one.

Keep an eye on their sale page. I've gotten silk dresses from them for $30, but you have to stalk it constantly.

I will be in this corner squealing with happiness. ^_^

I don't know exactly how you look, but that double dot blue is gorgeous. Of course it's worth the money.

I was going to say how cute and elegant that dress was - until I saw the back view and OMG I think I just fell in love!

have you grown the short haircut out enough to do vintage rolls? (if not, you could just do a little ribbon snow-white style, or something like that..)

[rm.livejournal.com]

Totally haven't, and it really needs to be cut again soon, its sort of a stupid length right now. It's probably the one thing that's giving me pause.

I adore The Clockwork Dolls! I stumbled across their Myspace through random link clicking and, wow, that was a brilliant discovery.

OMG, why is this band SO GREAT? This song... it's so fascinating -- it has a full story, yet leaves out so much, it's this amazing starting place for ideas.
