Bullet points, because I'm lazy.

- I signed up for [livejournal.com profile] apocabigbang! Looking forward to doing another BB challenge, and it seems like quite a few Skins writers are doing it too, so that's cool. So far I have a title and a vague premise, but I've yet to figure out, um, what actually caused the apocalypse. But, you know, details. ;)

- New Effy moodtheme! ♥

- I know I've been promising that the 80s AU will be posted "soon" for over a month now, but it is actually nearing completion now. It still needs a bit of work, but I'm mostly happy with it, I think. It's not really as 80s-tastic as I intended, and it's not 80s in a lulzy way, but I'm still pleased with how the story's turned out.

- I have this week's Glee downloaded but IDK, this show isn't really living up to expectations for me. I like some of the characters and some of the musical numbers, but I'm not sure if I like them enough to overlook the massive amounts of general privilege!fail.

- Back to the apocalypse: rec me songs about the end of the world? I have a handful, but I'd like more.

for songs, there's the obvious Apocalypse Please by Muse which is AWESOME AND DRAMATIC AND AWESOME. From their new album there's also United States of Eurasia + Collateral Damage which always feels nice and doomy to me, I fucking love it. Over dramatic = Muse.

I'll probably think of a bunch more later, but those instantly came to mind.
*looks down*
Crap. I'm wearing a Muse tshirt. And bought tickets to a festival that Muse is headlining today. I think I have them on the brain.

Oh man, how could I forget Muse!! 'Apocalypse Please' is AWESOME.

Quite liked Glee this week, but we watched it after Dollhouse, so maybe I was just overwhelmed by the whole thing where it actually had a plot and characters I gave two shits about watching. It's been hit and miss, though, I agree.

Cheerio, Michael. xxx

Yeah, I actually thought Glee was quite a lot better this week, but I feel like it's still on kind of shaky ground. I think it's either going to get a lot better as it settles into its groove (... no pun intended) or it'll all fall apart, but I have no idea which.
