exsequarI don't know if everyone's seen these before and I'm just slow, but ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bexone just posted a link to a photo of Gerard by Chris Anthony, so I went poking around his site and he did all the gorgeous photos of The Black Parade! They're absolutely stunning.
I am so tempted to use this as a journal header.
Mikeywaaaaay.
And the piece de resistance...
GERARD. *chinhands*
Go here: Chris-Anthony.net and click on Portfolio I for so many more. And the Gerard photo is under New Work. *sighs happily* So pretty.
In other, NON MCR news (it happens occasionally! shocker!) I am in the good old US of A once more! I had a rather hellish morning yesterday, with the running to catch the bus and then almost being late for check in and then jogging to the gate and not being able to buy Kerrang forbunnymcfoo and then getting maybe 45 minutes of sleep on the 7 hour flight, but! I was met at Newark by my very own ROB! One of my two besties in the whole world, yaye. So we spent the afternoon shopping at Borders (I snagged Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman in hardcover for 6 bucks! As well as a present for my daddy. And then I spent about 10 minutes reading everything about MCR in all the music magazines, because I am obsessed. They are EVERYWHERE, it's kind of insane.) and then we went to see The Golden Compass!
I enjoyed it well enough, especially the last half, although it kind of painfully deviated from my vision of the books many times. Also because it had to be so compressed, it felt a bit like watching The Golden Compass For Dummies, since so many subtleties of the plot had to be awkwardly rammed in all at once. Rob enjoyed it, having never read the books, and I've urged him to GO READ THEM because they're so much better, lol. The little girl that played Lyra was pretty good, and Nicole Kidman was brilliant as Mrs. Coulter. I was also desperately fond of Lee Scoresby, and Eva Green was lovely as Serafina Pekkala. All in all, I couldn't have asked for very much more in the conversion of this book to screen. I hope they do a bit better by the next one though, since it's my favorite of the three. I can't wait to see who they cast as Will!!
Then Rob and I came back to his house and watched some Atlantis (he hasn't seen the fourth season yet!) and just sat and talked and talked and talked. It was great, I've really really missed him. Now I have to leave him again, but I think it was really important that we got this time together. I won't see him again until June! :(
In a couple hours we're gonna leave to go meet my daddy!! I GET TO SEE MY DADDY YAAAAY. *twirls and twirls* SO EXCITED BWEE. Aaaand my baby sister who is NOT so much a baby anymore, she's getting so old and mature! I can't wait to be home, sigh. :D

I really want to go see the movie, but I haven't read the book yet and I'm torn. I suppose I'll check it out and then devour the books before the next one comes out. I'm such a sucker for the genre!
