A Wizard Did It

What did I miss at Dragoncon this year?

If either Eliza Dushku or Joss Whedon showed up, you will all feel my vengeance.

I still:

• Feel like hell
  
• Don't know what to do
  
• Am whining on livejournal to avoid actually calling anyone and whining to them. (It distributes the annoyance evenly amongst many people instead of heaping all the whine on one person's head.)

I wish I were less stupid.

So, as mentioned earlier, I've been having crazy depression stuff going on lately and now I'm on an epic quest to make myself cry. It shouldn't be this hard- I'm spending a lot of time everyday mentally kicking myself so i'm obviously not happy. I've tried watching sad movies (Schindler's List, Titanic, When the Wind Blows), listening to a sad country song that used to get to me when I was younger, thinking about people I love dying, thinking about dying myself (which leads to not-good trains of thought), thinking how pathetic my life is, etc. Nothing's really working- I either get angry or kind of a dead, nothing feeling.  If I could just have a good cry I think it would help.

I don't know what to do. About the crying thing and in general. Nothing really sounds like a good option. 

Any tearjerker suggestions?

Hi everyone,

I'm sorry about not posting for a while- RL's kind of getting me down and I don't have much of interest to say.

Because of money and other stuff, I'm not going to be able to do Dragoncon this year. Sorry- I'll miss you all and I'm sure I'll be kicking myself that weekend. Have fun.  

I just heard about the tornado. I hope you guys are OK! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you out- I'll probably be calling tonight just to double-check if I don't have any word from you and I have your number.

My friend Anthony's visiting me from Florida and we're going to be running around Austin doing stuff all weekend. If you want to join in the fun, call me at 706-247-1479.

So, I'm going to a haunted house tonight with some friends and I'm an enormous wuss. Eeep! Any advice from fellow scaredy-cats out there?

This Wednesday, Oct 24 at the Alamo Drafthouse Lakecreek (183 & Lake Creek Parkway)- We're playing as part of the  Dismember the Alamo  zombie film festival. We're playing a COMPLETELY FREE set at 9:30. Come for the music, stay for the food/beer/zombie footage playing in the background.

 

This Saturday Oct 27 at the Hideout- We're the opening act for the  Big Star Burlesque  show at 8pm. Admission costs about $14.

 

Next Wednesday Oct 31 at the Parlor (on North Loop)- We're playing a FREE Halloween show with some other local bands. I think this will start around 8pm.

You know, I'm always thinking of passionate, profound posts to make to my journal (I know-sure I am), but I always end up posting stuff like this.

Behold my geekery:

 
I seriously worked on this for an hour when I had tons of other stuff to do.  I hope there's no life after death so I'll never have to account for all the time I've spent on Survivor over the years.
