| Can you say brainwashing? B-b-b-b-b-brainwashing!
All of a sudden I feel like the biggest sellout ever because I own a piece of Glitterboy merchandise. I like it, of course, but still--pretty much everyone on the forum is freaking out about the clothing line. And I did too, probably for the same reason...it's sort of like extra AFI merch. But as I looked through the items they now have for sale on the Hot Topic website (looking for the interview), all other thoughts were blocked out by one:
BRAND NAME.
The logo is on every piece. Large, small, sometimes multiple times.
We're all buying a brand name. Yes, we like the clothing okay, but there's really nothing spectacular about it. I *never* thought I would be this. ICCCCCKKKK.
It's not like band merchandise. Those show your support and love for a band, and provide an opportunity for solidarity with other fans. But Glitterboy is NOT AFI. Glitterboy is Glitterboy. It is a clothing brand. AAAAAAAAH.
Can I also mention that thinking about fashion design and AFI being connected is really, really weird. Damn Davey--it's his fault. I think he was cooler when he was a boy. Ha. I need to go back to my original conception of them, which was based solely on the music. The members were nameless, faceless...essentially identity-less.
Just sound.

| Oh dear Lord, I love my computer. Once I got the setup
information from highstream, it took me about twelve seconds to
configure the computer to connect to the internet (now that I'm away
from school and don't have ethernet anymore). Last year I tried
for several days to make the old computer work... I think the modem was
broken. Plus it was a PC. A Gateway PC no less.
MACS ARE THE BEST EVER.

| We all went to see IT yesterday. Sukoshi, CC-chan, and I all had
our towels. It was grand. (Drew didn't have a towel,
though, because apparently he's a loser.) We actually saw
somebody else there who'd also brought a towel, which made me very
happy.
I thought they did a great job...especially because they left in almost
every one of the book's very best passages. The only one I was
really sad to see left out was the one about the plans for the
demolition of Arthur's house being in a cabinet down in the cellar
lavatory, with a sign on the door that said "beware of leopard."
(He just said that it was in the cellar, alas.) And I was very
pleased with their choice of actors, especially Arthur. I swear,
he was the most Arthur Dently person I've ever seen. And Alan
Rickman...well, he's ALWAYS awesome.
The sponsored blogs make me happy. I've added them to my subscriptions. :D

| Someone stole my box yesterday. It was one of those big plastic
tubs--I use it to carry my laundry, and I left it under the sink in the
laundry room overnight by accident. I've left it there for DAYS
before (again, by accident)... but overnight it got stolen.
:( It's a freaking BOX!! Are you some kind of rich-kid
klepto?
Yeah, well, I've still got the lid, jackass.
But then later, the total stranger who always smiles at me when we pass
each other said, "Good afternoon!" to me all cheery-like, so I was
happy. I have absolutely NO idea who he is, but it always makes
me happy to see him because he's friendly.
