Erm. So. Jogging gear.

I might need a .... hoodie. To cover up and stay warm when it's cooler. Me. In a hoodie. UGH!

So, I've decided I want this black one here;



Stuff it, if I'm going to jog, I'm going to jog in STYLE baby, yeah!

INO, things at home are going, all things considered, remarkably well. Just echoing and confirming what devalmont has said really. *nods*

So my sister's chap Tim (who rocks) is a Death Metaller and is looking for some t-shirts. They're seemingly not easy to get over in Oz. Any of you lot know;

WHERE, ONLINE, CAN YOU BUY DEATH METAL BAND T-SHIRTS???

Specifically 1349, Aeon and any silly Metaloclypse....

Tim usually buys from the US of A but was wondering if there were any UK sites. Our google-foo is lacking.

Right you lot, before I put this all up for sale, I'm offering you all the chance first. I'll be selling on thriftstoreuk (EDIT - here, repost here) and niceboots (EDIT - here, repost here) over the next few weeks and this is the first batch. Clothes, Accessories, Random Stuff... you name it. It's just time for a good clear out of things I don't/can't use any more. I will only sell only things I'd happily wear myself (or use... if I fitted into them, or they were my style any more), and I'm picky - the rest will get trashed / if it's okay will go to second hand shops.

So, devalmont has put this post up about REPO! The Genetic Opera.

I don't think I can add much to it. Except to say it's currently one of my favourite films.

It's not for everyone, it's especially to be avoided if you don't like gore, blood, needles, knives and other things of that nature, so consider this a potential trigger warning. The subject matter (a future where organ failure is commonplace, and GeneCo will give you new body parts on a loan-repayment basis but if you fail to pay up, the Repo man will come and remove said organs...) isn't for everyone. Nor is the fact that it's a Rock Opera. Starring Sarah Brightman, Anthony Steward Head, Paris Hilton (DO NOT let that put you off, she's surprisingly good), Ogre from Skinny Puppy etc etc... with lots of scantily clad men and women.

However, if that doesn't put you off, please, please, PLEASE take a moment or several to check out the official site repo-opera.com. Listen to the soundtrack. Attack youtube and see what goodies it has. Best of all, buy it. And buy the soundtrack. And go tell Terrance Zdunich what you think of it.... or him.... this is him....



And if I need to elaborate on that, you just don't get me :P. EDIT - his website contains bugs and cockroaches, just so you know.

We'll be hosting a REPO! night at some point soon, so if you aren't sure, come along to that to test the waters. I'll even set up a 'chill out' room for those who really don't like it. But give it a go, if you remotely think you might enjoy it.

Because it, in my humble opinion, is made of win.

By the way, if anyone see's this for sale again, I will adore and worship you forever if you manage to get me one. I will of course reimburse (and I'll most probably manage to get one myself as I'm checking the site daily so probably best just to ping me and let me know they're for sale again when I think about it...);

So some of you will know, but most won't, that I'm a bit of a fussy bugger when it comes to incense. Ignoring the fact that I have been known to make my own (which reminds me, I've got a project to finish), I have a small and select few which I find to be just perfect. Nag Champa is NOT one of these - to me, it smells like week old sick that's had the benefit of the summer Sun beaming down on it. Not good (and apologies to those of you who like it).

My "stick incense" recommendations to anyone would be ( ...cut for those who've no interest, which is likely everyone except for Jen! )

I have actually died and gone to scent heaven.

[Edit] - Just found the Gothest incence evar! Midnight Incense

fotopic seems to be back, for those who have missed her! Rah.

I wonder, are websites male or female (like cars and ships and toolboxes and sheds)?

And introducing one's mother to Etsy is not a good idea when she ADORES home made, crafty things... ooops.

A girl can never have too many shoes, right?

Well neither can a man. And if you're looking for some funky gothy cheesey fab winkle pickers, I've found the very place for you.

A very brief jaunt online to wish everyone a joyous Summer Solstice (which is, this year, Friday 20th June).

Incidentally, the BBC has a handy little calendar which I'm putting the link to here for future reference as a couple of the dates have a tendancy to move each year.

Hope you're all well - I know I'm being naughty and not seeing much of anyone but Rich is working this weekend so if any of my Cambridge crew are free, let me know and we can meet up for coffee and giggles.

Friends, I give you Vampires Suck, a witty web-comic about a Noser named Able and a Toreawhore named Lucius. Obviously, based on V:TM and given it's a comic, it pokes no end of fun at it.

Credit for finding it goes to morticutor. I make no comment regarding our roleplaying days in the historic city of the north and the similarity between Lucius and Zillah, honestly I really don't.... ;P

Remember a while back I posted a link to the best umbrella in the world (and yes, the customer review is by me!)? Well, it's been usurped!. Parasols GALLORE (see this 50s inspired baby, this lace effect umbrella style one, this purlple diamonte trim one and this wonderfully extravagent one, equally gorgeous in the purple for instance) and they do the black umbrella I love (so much that I have 3 of them)...



... in PINSTRIPE.

But the one I'd really really really adore if money were no object?



Not really much competition really. AND you can get a 'bit' which can have real flowers integrated into it courtesy of your local florist... so want a black one with dark red roses for a photo shoot now (utilising an acrylic with strap and a claret handle because what wouldn't go with one or t'other of those).

I'm so pleased it isn't payday yet.

Well friends, it would seem I've got night wakes again. So I'm naturally online. To tell you two things (or strictly speaking, three!):

1) I'm back in Cambridge. No thanks to cancelled trains etc :)
2) BECAUSE I can't sleep and have night wakes, and because this isn't unfortunately the only time recently, I proudly present my
3) Pet project. You are all aware by now of my Neopets additiction. If not, I'm shocked. Well, regardless, I've been spending those hours in the middle of the night working on this.

Hope you're reading this at a sensible time of day. If not, I hope I've given you something to do for an hour or so!

My dear friends. This weekend I've been indulging in a terrible addiction.

I confess, you may not want to know me after reading this. I'm incredibly ashamed and embarrassed but I feel you ought to be informed.

I have been whiling away the hours playing .... online .... on ( Neopets. )

Just to announce that over on my fotopic site I've put up some of the more recent photos taken by davecharsley from Decline Studios as well as moving more friend and family orientated ones over to my personal msn site. Speaking of, I'm updating the msn site with links and it's general look so consider it as being in a state of disarray until I announce otherwise but feel free to take a look.

I'm also going through my various online profiles and updating where I can, deleting if possible where they can't be updated and removing any links and mention of the ones I can't do anything about. Again, further announcement on this one soon.

Additionally, take a look at goth_pinup and if you feel like pimping:



Over and out.

Want to be the coolest Goth on the block when it's drizzling? Well, I spotted the perfect solution quite a while ago now and am hooked. sapphrine has admired this rather greatly and I finally managed to track them down on the net (after the store I got mine from ran out of stock).

Behold! (click on the image to go to the site)




Bargain at £10 or what?

Incidentally, for those of you NOT obsessed with black, they do them in a very pretty pink, ivory and lilac at the moment too. Despite it listing them as parasols, they are intended to be used as umbrellas, just in case you were wondering.

Whilst looking for a Dita Von Teese mood theme, I found this. It's a black cat mood theme! Ok, ok, it wasn't that interesting. Gee, it's Monday morning guys, I'm kinda short on inspiration right now and my day has already nose dived.

Looking for a very LoTR pendant but can't find one? Look no further!.

Quirky link I've just been sent:

A plethora of info about your D.O.B
(including what phase the moon was in)

As I'm Calling tonight, who else is going? My poor sweet darling man isn't feeling very well and I don't want to be alone there.

NB - Emailed it, it didn't show up, so I copied and pasted. It has now appeared so apologies for the duplication!!!

I'm currently buying decs for my crimbly tree (I am SO getting a black plastic one this year) as of course, lots of things are in for Halloween. Whilst looking at gloomygoods I found D56 which quite frankly is far too far too nice. However, there is something on there that would look totally perfect dangling from black branches:

RELEASE THE BATS!

Want. Must not buy. Must be good. Glad it's a couple more weeks before pay day or I'd be sorely tempted!

Go and Vote for you right to Goth!

Nabbed this from sapphrine... please take note. TELL ME if you're using Frienditto. Quoted from sapphrine:

"Please all go to the following link and read the information on Frienditto and what it does and then check your friendslist for vulnerabilities. I have worked it through and there is no one on my friendslist currently who is a confirmed user of this product however, if you do use it, i would really appreciate it if you tell me about it please. If I was to ever find any of my friends limited entries up publicly archived I would not be impressed."

Whatever you do.....

DON'T HIT THE BIG RED BUTTON!
(otherwise known as the link above)

Please help. Public appeal.

I have promised, should the counter hit 1000, I shall owe devalmont a prize and I'm doubtful I can manage... so whatever you do.... DON'T and I repeat this, DON'T click the above link.

It's a VERY bad idea.
NOT a good plan to go there.
No.
Please avoid it.
I mean, that's why I've got it in my links list at the side of my lj page.
So I remember to never click the link.
Thanks.


Ahem.

NB - Please DO comment if you have any problems with the site. Either on here, devalmont's lj or directly to the KD boys via the website.

( Picture goodness! )

I've now got an lj photo site too. I'll try to keep both it and my fotopic site updated. But for now, I've got to empty the chest of drawers I've come to love because it's heading back down to Bedford with Becky's parents tomorrow. Ugh.
