my mask! it’s like… a mirror!

Awesome night last night, trendy drinks, friend’s birthday. Conversation:
“Hi I’m Aaron nice to meet you.”
Intense look.
“You mean like Aaron as in Elvis Aaron Presley?”
“That’s the one, yes.”
“I have a life size cutout of Elvis in my bedroom. You are coming home with me.”

Which would have been better if she hadn’t turned out to be heartstoppingly dull. And is slightly scary in retrospect.

Got invited to be a bassist in a band, though the name Venn State is mildly troubling.

Some fun when I tried – with the accompanying guilt and mild nausea – to log into MySpace: “MySpace now supports UK postal codes. You haven’t entered yours.” Fantastic euphemism, now supports. Translates as we want to know where you live, and we are taking the ball home if you don’t tell us.

Your task for today is to view with exhilarated relief the trailer for Dave McKean spunkfest Mirrormask. Terrible cliched voiceover – “Somewhere between X and Y” – but looks just like that awesome dream you had the other week. Even the logo thing is waycool, despite spoily rubbish typography at bottom.

Lastly, the funniest thing I have seen today is the black metal/polka genre Troll Metal. Prizes for funnier sub-sub-genres.
