Sweetness!

The Orange Peel has just announced that Blonde Redhead will playing there on September 19th. Rawk!
Coming This Weekend
Yow! I have been invited to be on one of the teams participating in the 48 Hour Film Project in Asheville this coming weekend. It all sounds quite crazy. Your genre of film get picked from a random drawing on Friday evening at 7:00 p.m. … then you just have until Sunday evening ay 7:00 p.m. to write the script, film, edit, add sound and then turn in the finished film. There will be more details as I know them …
Tuesday Update
Oy! I certainly seem to have some issues right now. Last night I dreamed that my sister betrayed me over some such something or other.
But I am feeling somewhat better today. Thanks for the comments and phone calls. They are appreciated.
Currently Feeling
Like I am about to crawl out of my own skin. It’s fun.
Probably what it is … is just fall out from being in such a bad mood at the end of the week last week.
The weekend was okay. “West Side Story” opened on Friday and went pretty well. I got totally drunk at the opening night party and the did the bad thing of mixing beer and wine. Ugh. Must make a mental note about not doing that ever again. Saturday, Short Legs and I met up with Franke and saw “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.” I didn’t think it was all that bad. Then again, it’s been ages since I have read the book, so I don’t remember all the plot details that would have been missing from the film. We pigged out at Chili’s afterwards and Short Legs didn’t get sick (which is cool). I watched mooovies from Netflix yesterday, but by the end of the day I was really down in the dumps feeling like nobody likes me.
You still like me, right?
I had strange dreams all night last night ranging from getting fired from my job to being framed for murder by a friend.
And now here I am feeling like I am about to crawl out of my own skin. It’s fun.
Currently Reading

“Rant” by Chuck Palahniuk.
Week-Ending Exit
The day has kinda gotten away from me. So, I will leave you with the totally rockin’ performance of Jefferson Airplane’s “High Flyin’ Bird” from the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival.
End of the Day
Take a wild guess who is tired and cranky? I think I am gonna stop into the new book store on my way home.
Book Stores = Smiles
Bad Mood Boy!
A couple of people set me off last night …
I do the graphics/typesetting for the theater and this person was left out of the program for the upcoming show. I can understand being miffed about being overlooked … but take it out on the director who submitted the information to me and not me who (contrary to my wishes) is not psychic and can’t know everything and everyone that is involved with the big summer musical.
Another person’s name was misspelled (albeit consistently) and they weren’t happy either. Please see the above statement about my non-psychic abilities.
Guess what? I just now got an e-mail stating that the Sound Board Operator was left out and there’s another misspelled name.
And all this after the program was proofed by folks at the theater.
Grrrrrrrrr. Certain people need to get their shit together.
Humpity, Hump Day
Oooooooooh. If only it were.
Yeah. I was gonna go on about how desperately I need a shag right now … but that’s probably the Irvine Welsh book talking.
Nothing new really.
I have a stack of books that I am slowly working my way through. I am almost finished with “The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs.” I have the first of the Southern Vampire Mysteries, “Dead Until Dark.” I am resisting the urge to buy “Rant,” the new Chuck Palahniuk novel … and, of course, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” drops into stores next week.
Dr. Phibes and I are pumped up for this fall … ’cause another Best Buy “Sci-Fi Collection” Exclusive will see “The Deadly Mantis” finally making its way to dvd. AND … MGM will be releasing a “Vincent Price: MGM Scream Legends Collection” (Volume One of Many? … Please, Oh, Please, Oh, Please!) on September 11th!!! I am sure that I will be talking/linking more about both these sets as their release dates draw closer.
Too much going on the rest of the week/weekend to really be able to keep up with my dvd viewing … though I am really looking forward to seeing “Vengeance is Mine.”
That is all.
Tuesday Update
I made a new header image. That is all.
(Mmmmm. Donut with sprinkles.)
1-18-08 (Cloverfield)
Also in front of “Transformers” was the teaser trailer for the new J.J. Abrams produced film. Is it “1-18-08” or “Cloverfield?” Whatever it’s gonna be called, it looks pretty fucking sweeeeeeet.
Transformers: A Mini Review
It’s big. It’s loud. The special effects rock. And it should have been about 1 hour shorter. Plus, I wanna know why they didn’t destroy the Hoover Dam. That would have rocked. The main thing I do know is that the new trailer for “The Simpsons Movie” was the major highlight of “Transformers.” Now, that is gonna be the movie of the summer!
