I'm in my dad's office typing on his comp and watching MuchMusic on his tv in the background.

Linkin park is on right now, with that song I'd don't care for, "Somewhere I Belong," and I had a thought.

Linkin Park is a band of anime fans.

They have to be, they have little mecha and Gundam figurines in shots all over this video, and their previous animated videos have had anime-like mecha in them, and the font on their CD cover looks like Japanese characters.

Think this is a cool thing, though I still don't like that song.

Also, in watching this video, I've noticed that one of the two band leads-- the singer not the rapper-- is a geek. Or he dresses like one.

There's something surreal about a skinny little guy with glasses, a geeky shirt buttoned all the way up, jumping up and down, screaming rock lyrics with burning stuff in the background.

Yeah, geeks are taking over the world.

OOH! The All American Rejects are up. I swear, the lead singer of this band reminded me of the guy who plays Clark from Smallville. I don't regularly watch that show, but they look alike. The singer being thinner than the actor, I think. But the eyes, the hair, the cheekbone structure... similar. The singer's jaw is not as square as the actor's, but it still is surprising.

Hm... the vid's over and they're showing the band interviewing & stuff now. Hn. They're cute.

ETA: ACK! people's LJ say that the Buffy series finale spoilers are out.

Thanks for cutting away, you guys. Wonderfully considerate. I need more anti-spoiler icons.

Perhaps Linkin park just like giant robots? I know I do!

Doesn't explain the font. Plus, it's a fandom thing. You learn to recognize the signs. I'm willing to bet money on it, if there was any sure way to prove it.

Sadly, I don't know them, so I can't ask.

[mrthursday.livejournal.com]

Well, your proabbly right but for the hell of it..

I work with fonts and believe me people pick fonts they think look pretty with out any consideration for where they come from all the time.

I still like giant robots. I quite like mecha style giant robots. And the silly japanese sci-fi technolgies. But after limited exposure I have come to the conclusion, I am not thw worlds greatest anime fan.

Oh breaking news: My brother the music Nerd seems to think that someone in the band does like anime anyway. So your right!

BWAHAHA! ::mad cackle:: Now I have to go scour their website bandmember bios and see if so what they like.

GAAAAAAAH!

I'm making a filter of my friends list of people who are spoiler-free. I know you are; anybody know about evemac and elfgirl?

Re:

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

how do I set up a filter?

[corngirl-jo.livejournal.com]

The FAQ on it is here (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=102) and you'll set up one here (http://www.livejournal.com/friends/filter.bml).

I think evemac is struggling to be one. I seem to remember her vowing to stay away from spoilers - I'm not sure how she's doing, but she on my friends' list and she hasn't spoiled me :-) Good girl.

About time, dammit.

This is just terrible! This year the spoilers have been coming fast and furious -- why can't ME have better control over access to their scripts? Or maybe they just don't care anymore if this info gets out. I'm all twitchery (is that a word?) now ...

Re: Geeks and spoilers

Twitchery sounds like a good word to me, even if its not one. I've long since given up on ff.net for fear of being spoiled... I can only hope that fellow LJers on my 100+ friends list don't mess up.

Only 6 more weeks to go, Rashaka ... I can hang on if you can ...

I can, I can! I'm actually pretty giid about not reading them; helps that I don't have a big history with spoilers to tempt me in memory.

Dude, Linkin Park annoys the fuck out of me.. I don't know what it is... I actually like a lot of their songs... it's just the unoriginality or something. But I digress.

Word, G. I'm posting this same type message on my LJ.
