• Music: Voltaire - The Vampire Club

Before anything, a shameless plug.

I’m gonna be joining an anime/comic/cosplay convention. I’ll be there as an exhibitor, but I imagine it would be fun to be in costume. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

• Music: Wolfmother - Joker and The Thief

First off, although I didn’t advertise it here, I’d like to thank everyone who visited us last week at the Only You Bazaar. There weren’t a lot of people who came, so we really appreciate the few folks who did drop by and bought from us. We did a lot better than expected thanks to you guys.

We’ve re-opened Pretty Oddity’s Multiply site for Philippine-based customers (who seem to prefer to make online purchases there). And we’re really excited to finally, FINALLY get an Etsy Shop. Still in the process of listing items, but we’re working on it. Keep checking back!

• Music: Tinted Windows - Can't Get a Read on You

James Iha, Bun E. Carlos, Adam Schlesinger, AND Taylor Hanson. In a band. Together.

I can’t believe I totally missed this!

I thought the idea of Smashing Pumpkins collaborating with Hanson seemed surreal. Then they add Cheap Trick and Fountains of Wayne to the mixture and leave me thinking, “what the hell.” But it actually does sound pretty good. Catchy and kickass at the same time. With Iha and Carlos in there, I was expecting the music to be a tad heavier, but anyways, it’s still cool.

90’s music back? Let’s hope so.

• Music: Nine Inch Nails - Hurt

Nine Inch Nails was fantastic last night. Now had I known that cameras would be allowed, I would have brought a decent camera. I did not want to go through the trouble of having my camera confiscated, but I had no idea that security wouldn’t frigging mind. So because I don’t have pictures of my first and last NIN concert, I had to yoink this one and improvise. Not quite the same (Trent Reznor is so much more awesome up close, trust me), but you get the picture.

Most of the songs they played were new stuff (that I’ve heard but didn’t pay much attention to), but they did play some songs from The Downward Spiral, so that was layers and layers of awesome. They also played I’m Afraid of Americans and Dead Souls, which were already more than enough to make me happy. And all this I experienced from a really, really good seat. There were some morons who seemed to be in the wrong concert (you don’t bellydance and undulate your arms in a NIN concert. You fucking bang your head), but last night’s show was still plenty awesome. Like, awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome.

Still not over it. Squeeeee! Awesome.

I’m craving for everything. I want grilled salmon panini, pork floss crepe, spanakopita, and crème brûlée gelato. And while I’m dreaming, I want coconut shrimp, eggplant parmegiana, and mango cheesecake. Possibly together.

As usual, I took out my dietary frustrations on some thread and my trusty crochet hook. For someone who’s into Japanese arts and crafts, I haven’t made anything Japanese-y, so I made futomaki (太巻き). I also made my first ever crocheted earrings. *cheers*

Now I want okonomiyaki and gyros. Who delivers?
