This morning...

[lithera]

So right as I got off of the bus the sky opened up and started pouring. S'kind of funny. My hair was just starting to dry a little bit, too. Heh. I love the rain, though. It left a smile on my face.

I listened to my new Muppets CD on my way into work. It's been a long time since something tugged at me so hard in so many different ways. I was happy and almost crying at the same time. I love the Muppets. Jim Henson's death still makes me a little sad now and then.

What else? I'm nervous about the meeting today but we'll see how it goes. I have a few questions about the job that I am hoping to get answered. Maybe have some general conversation and chitchat as well. I'm hoping my hair dries out.... other than this one strand that seems to have avoided all of the rain. That would be quite nice.

I need to think of villain colors. I know any color can be but I need two colors that go together villainously. I'm coming up with green and purple as it seems to be popular like that but I'm open to suggestions.

When in doubt, go with the classics.

Green, purple, and orange were the classic villain colors in the old four-color days. Any pair of them works, IMO.

S'what I'm thinking.

I have no idea who you are, sir. But you are a man among gentlemen for recognizing true evil.

MMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE!

Was thinking about you earlier.

Hi.

[warpdragon.livejournal.com]

Purple and black, to me, scream villain.

Green and gray/silver, too. It works well on Dr. Doom and Doc Ock.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

That's true. That is true.

I think green is in, either way.

There are certain musical artists John Denver, Elton John, Alice Cooper and now Weezer that I shall always and forever associate as being surrounded by Muppets while preforming.

A coworker of mine once told me that pink and grey are "Heavy Metal colors", that's pretty villanous in my book.

[wandelrust.livejournal.com]

Wait, weezer? And muppets? When? And how?

Also, pink and grey are for villians not cool enough to wear red and black.

[cleverusername2.livejournal.com]

They did a music video about two years back that harkened back to the old Muppet Show guest star preformances. There was even a plot where Ms. Piggy was trying to seduce the drummer, and they had to replace him with Animal for the preformance (there always was a crisis on The Muppet Show that Kermit was stressing over). Oh, and it had singing penguins, can't forget that.

Oh my God, that sounds freaking AWESOME!

One of the videos oof of their last album had the Muppets in it. I think it was... Ummmmm... I can't remember which one right now.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

It was Keep Fishin'.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

And.... here is the video: http://www.weezer.com/audiovideo/index.html#keep

[wandelrust.livejournal.com]

That's awesome, thanks!

[cleverusername2.livejournal.com]

Hehe, you beat me to it! That is why you are IMDb material, you skunk the librarian.

[frostedelves.livejournal.com]

Hot pink and lime green with huge shoulder-pouf and calf-streamer marabou feathers dyed to match. And goggles. That should inspire some fear.

[jameel.livejournal.com]

Immediately after that, it'll inspire some blindness.

[doomworld.livejournal.com]

of COURSE green is in.

Don't be SILLY.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

*bows to Doom*

Of course. Green will be one of them.

[doomworld.livejournal.com]

And maybe a hood and little gold claspy-thingee for your cloak..

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Oh... Ummmm... Well, I wasn't talking about my costume but... That's an idea, certainly.

[doomworld.livejournal.com]

WOO HOO!

[lithera.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

That would be a little rough but something might be accomplished.

[doomworld.livejournal.com]

YES! SOMETHING!

Um...

...Doom's NOT quite sure what you're talking about, dearest.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm throwing this Halloween party and this year's theme is villains. I needed colors for envelopes and ink and all of that. I had a costume idea but now I'll have to see which one seems more workable.

[doomworld.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...

...Doom should make an appearance.

Would that freak you completely out or WHAT?

[lithera.livejournal.com]

That would be totally sweet.

I'll be asking for addresses later today or tomorrow. If you want an invite, give me an addy.

[doomworld.livejournal.com]

Latveria, of course.

: )

Doom will e-mail you.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

*grins*

I assumed that much. I wanted to be a little more specific than:
Doom
Latveria

I assumed that it would make it but it seems a little ... weak.

[technocracygirl.livejournal.com]

Wow! Am I bummed that I won't be able to be there. Do I get invited anyway?

...*ponders making a Baroness costume for Norwes, at the very least*...

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Of course you do!

[technocracygirl.livejournal.com]

Awww...thank you.

I really do wish I could swing it. Villians is such a great theme! But between September and November, I really can't justify the time or the cost.

[artvixn.livejournal.com]

I'm partial to Green, myself, but purple as well...just not together. Have you been to any of the League of Evil Geniuses parties at cons? They are fab! You need those fake torch things!

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Honestly I'm not sure if I have or not. Which ones are they?

[artvixn.livejournal.com]

They had a party at the Seattle Westercon (the one we did the Gotham Villains at!). I can't remember which other cons for sure but I know I've seen them a few times. I think they are out of LA. The most notable feature of their party is the wall of fame. They have portraits of villainous types all over the walls. We insisted they add our characters.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Huh. I think I missed it at WesterCon. That Con was crazy for me. It seemed like there was always something to do there but it felt very relaxed at the same time.
