notes for the record

[sailorstkwrning]

still not a proper update, but, some highlights noted for the record:

* There was a brief period last weekend when we thought Brendon might have gotten malaria in Indonesia, but, luckily he didn't.

* Greenwald has finished his solo record; he and Ryan Ross continue to be working on songs (per Ryan), but it isn't clear if they are his songs, or Ryan's songs, or what is going on.

* On a related note, Ryan mentioned he was looking up the word 'Rapscallion" in the context of choosing a band name. The definition is "a disreputable person; rascal or rogue" (c. the Free Dictionary).

* One of the songs they were working on apparently sounds like they're "going to face the boss." (Not The Boss, Ryan explained. More like Bowzer or Dr. Robotnik. So, no Springsteen, rather, a the dude from Sha Na Na or a cartoon mad scientist. I'm deeply intrigued already!)

* Didier Wampas, who Ryan worked with on HIS (Didier's) solo project, is putting the record out on Oct. 25. In France. But the singles are available on American iTunes, so maybe we'll get the record too. Also, he (Didier) will be touring on the record in November, again, wait for it, in France. Ryan Ross may or may not be with him. French internet, we rely on you for a full report! (And pictures!)

regarding the whole "boss" thing, he probably meant the boss stage of a video game, where you fight the hardest characters. Bowser is generally the main boss in Mario games, while Dr. Robotnik is the main boss in most (all?) Sonic games. Here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFVYamNtgKQ) someone's footage of the final boss stage with Bowser from Super Mario 64.

I heard that Brendon would be playing again before I heard that it wasn't malaria, which was deeply worrisome.

ah. Ah-hah! Thank you for that explanation. (I'm serious, btw, I don't play video games and have no context for his comments.)

I managed to get the malaria - not malaria - playing again! news in the right order, but it was still distressing. Because, you know, holy shit, MALARIA.

Also, did you see? http://sailorstkwrning.livejournal.com/58046.html

I don't really play games, either, and probably wouldn't have had the context if not for the hours I've spent watching my brother & friends play them.

I hadn't seen that, actually! I scanned the summaries for yours when art & mix claims went up but I must have missed it. I'm excited to read the final version!

Hi, I realised I never actually friended you after reading your puppyplay fic. :)
