reina_t_1111: Hey Ceej.
minimoniotaku: Hi Reina.
reina_t_1111: A lot of excitement this past weekend, huh?
minimoniotaku: I think I know what you’re referring to.
reina_t_1111: You mean Nono having her little UltraTsuji on Monday morning?
minimoniotaku: Yeah, that was some nice news for once.
reina_t_1111: Tell me about it. I heard about Casey from Hawthorne Heights dying in his sleep. HH aren’t having the greatest year, are they?
minimoniotaku: No, they’re not.
reina_t_1111: I heard he had asthma, that might have had something to do with it.
minimoniotaku: It’s likely. No one knows what the cause was outside of “anything illegal” being ruled out.
reina_t_1111: What a shame. I know you liked their last album.
minimoniotaku: Yeah, and I missed them on Warped Tour this year, I should really be kicking myself now.
reina_t_1111: Did you ever listen to Quiet Riot when you were younger?
minimoniotaku: Good lord, ancient history! I have enough grey hairs as it is!!
reina_t_1111: Shaddap, Richard Gere has grey hair and the girls still want him.
reina_t_1111: Your pal Mike Watt has grey hair and he’s still a badass, same thing with your hero Rollins.
minimoniotaku: Why’d you bring up Quiet Riot?
reina_t_1111: Their lead singer was found dead last night.
minimoniotaku: Damn. How old and what from?
reina_t_1111: 52, and they don’t know yet.
minimoniotaku: I don’t think Rock & Roll Heaven needed any hair metal musicians that badly.
reina_t_1111: CJ!!!!!!! That was mean!
minimoniotaku: I kid.
reina_t_1111: If I go through your old record albums, will I find a copy of Metal Health amongst all your Black Flag and Minutemen albums?
minimoniotaku: Guilty as charged. Condition Critical is there too.
reina_t_1111: Haha.
minimoniotaku: Shaddap, or I’ll come over there and spank you.
reina_t_1111: Promises, promises. Did you see this week’s HaroMoni?
minimoniotaku: I’ve hardly been watching ANY TV lately. The writing, remember?
reina_t_1111: Phew.
minimoniotaku: What’s the sigh of relief for?
reina_t_1111: I was so afraid that you were going to bitch me out for what I did on this week’s episode.
minimoniotaku: What are you talking about, Rei?
reina_t_1111: The auditions for that cat character on Koharu’s anime. They had us do Whippets when we were doing our auditions for the voiceover role.
minimoniotaku: Oh that. I’m not even worried. It was just for that instance, right?
reina_t_1111: Yeah.
minimoniotaku: Reina, you’re not the first person who’s done helium and immediately started talking like Alvin & The Chipmunks, don’t even sweat it.
reina_t_1111: Yeah, but look at this screen cap from the episode that’s already online:

reina_t_1111: I look like I’m going to hurl. Upchuck. Call Ralph on the porcelain phone.
minimoniotaku: *hugs*
reina_t_1111: Thanks, hun.
minimoniotaku: Someday you’ll look back on that picture and laugh.
reina_t_1111: Am I getting too old for the cat ears?
minimoniotaku: No, but I’m too young to be getting junk mail from goddamn AARP!
reina_t_1111: AARP?! But you’re only 22 years older than I am! You make it sound like they think you graduated Bedrock High School in the same class as Keith Richards.
minimoniotaku: Very funny.
reina_t_1111: I try.
