The (fannish) things I've done with my (unexpected) free time.

So I was trying to get to sleep EARLY (midnight) since I had to wake up at the CRACK OF DAWN (7:30am) in order to meet Juliet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art at 8:45. They open at 9:30 and really, it's a good thing we got there when we did because by the time the line started moving it stretched down the block and doubled back a few times. Haha, if I felt left out and missing Otakon this past weekend, this line certainly made me feel like I was there for a little while.

Anyway, I was trying to get to sleep early, but really I should know better by now that I just can't. Instead I customized my screensaver and proceeded to take a few screencaps to make into a gif. (Yes, I'm we know I'm obsessed already, this is old news.)



And now for the few additional A Softer World Remixes I've done since I last posted. The last one was done for @15dozentimes; it's totally my favorite, and not it's not even one I'd ever have thought of/chosen to do myself. So yeah, pass any requests my way. These are fun and ridiculously easy to do with my somewhat limited skills. =D












This is totally random, but I somehow naturally associate Avenged Sevenfold and Panic! At the Disco. This is really interesting because I was just recently thinking I should listen to more AX7 (while listening to P!ATD).... and then I realized that I did the same back in 2006 when I first heard them both.

I know it's just a pipe dream, but-- what I'd give for P!ATD's next album to have a harder sound. *__* (Jesus fuck, Spencer Smith would be even hotter and sweatier than he already is...?!)

How long did you guys end up waiting in line for at the McQueen exhibit? My friends and I were thinking of going on Saturday, and trying to plan bus times and whatnot, so I'm wondering how long of a wait it might be. And did the line seem any shorter later on, or did it just get longer as the day went on?

I think we waited for a total of 2 hours in line. But that's probably about an hour to get into the Museum in the morning (we got there around 8:45, the museum opens at 9:30), and maybe like 45 minutes or so on the McQueen exhibit line itself. It's hard to be sure since I was with a good friend and time passes quickly when you're having fun just chatting. =D

Neither of us ate breakfast (/dumb) so as soon as we got out of the exhibit we were starving and kind of ran out for lunch, so I don't know what the line was like by then (around 12:30-ish). And we've both been to the Met a million times before so we didn't stick around other than a quick detour through the contemporary art wing to see what's changed since we were there last (more than I was expecting, actually)!

It's possible the line to get into the museum would be shorter later in the day, but since it's the last weekend of the exhibit, it might not. THE EXHIBIT IS REALLY REALLY POPULAR. AND REALLY, REALLY CROWDED. =(

JSYK:

The Museum will offer extended hours during the exhibition’s final week. On Thursday and Friday, August 4 and 5, the exhibition will be open until 9:00 p.m. On its last two days—Saturday and Sunday, August 6 and 7—the exhibition will remain open until midnight. After 9:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, visitors may enter the Museum through the 81st Street entrance only.
