I'd like to thank My Chemical Romance for continuing to be a distraction for doomscrolling by starting the second leg of their Black Parade tour, nee lore and all! I hope there's a documentary or something about this tour, it has me hooked and the visuals from Peru's show are absolutely GORGEOUS!

DIY shitty couch re-upholstery progress! I've got a peeling couch, bed sheets that won't be used anymore, scissors, and a staple gun!
I sanded off as much of the peeling pleather on one side and started cutting the sheets to the cushions I can't take out.
