"It's like Dracula vs. Yoda in there!"

I'm working on Halloween night. But surprisingly, I have managed to engage in more Halloween-related activities than I usually do this year. Usually I just wind up going to some half-assed party that night, but more often than not I'm the one who winds up sitting at home passing out candy. This past weekend, however, we saw a stunning theatrical staging of the works of Edgar Allen Poe. It was alle Goth and shite. Goth chicks in fishnets quoting the raven nevermore, bizzatches. Then the following night Mel and I volunteered at the Enchanted Forest in in Independence. It was a favor to Lesley for all her help with the wedding, but it really turned out to be a fun night. We served as trail guides navigating groups of people through the forest where charming little fairy tale scenes were played out by actors. It's pretty kewl and the kids who came all were havign the time of their lives. In all it was a pretty neat Halloween weekend. I shudder to think what work will be like tomorrow night, however.

Tonight we went and saw Batman Vs. Wolverine, er... I mean... The Prestige. I really only wanted to see it because of David Bowie who plays Nikola Tesla... and damn he makes a worthy Tesla. Tesla is a bit of a scary person, you know. It's frightening to think that our entire society, based as it is upon the harnessing of electricity, owes its existence to one man who was batshit crazy, but I digress. Anyway, The Prestige is quite a headtrip of a movie. You wouldn't think a movie about rival stage magicians locked in a deadly game of cat-and-also-cat could be so suspenseful and heartbreaking, but it is. Go see it. Just pretend that Johansson bimbo isn't really there. (It's not as hard as you'd think, either.) Anyway, yeah. Good flick.

Hoi! I need directions for friday. o.o the wedding is on friday at five, right? Dave took the day off, well as far as we know he has it off. His boss is one of satan's hands I swear.

It is at George Owens Park in Independence, MO. The address is 1601 South Speck road. If you're coming from Manhattan the easiest way is to just take I-70 all the way through KC until you reach 291 highway at the eastern end of Independence. Take 291 North for a few miles until you come to 23rd street. Turn right. Speck road is like the third or fourth stoplight. Turn left and go up the road about a half mile and there's the park on the left. We'll be in the shelter right off the main parking lot. Can't wait to see you!

Also, do you guys hear from Kelly anymore? I invited him but never got an answer.

On a side note, your icon looks......dirty.

mmm...Scarlett Johanssen.....
So, what was it that she did that made you dislike her? I assume there was an impetus to not enjoy her acting ability and perfect breasts (not necessarily in that order).

Mostly it was her recent lesbian porno shoot with renowned cumdumpster Dita Von Tease. My hatred of Dita rubbed off on Scarlett who, as it so happens, was rubbing off on Dita at the time. I don't know what Scarlett did to get dubbed Ultimate Sex Goddess, but I think it's going to her head.

Speaking of sex goddesses, is there any chance you'll be able to come to our wedding this Friday? I know I'm a douche for asking this close to the day, but I can't recall if I ever got an answer from you so I'm asking everyone that applies to again.

No, you sent me an invitation, and I fully intewnded to make it, and then I let it slip my mind. And when I thought about it again, I realized I'd already made a committment to be at the store that night. So I apologize, because I'm not going to be able to make it, and it's only because I'm a dumbass and completely forgot to mark it on a calendar or something.

I would, however, like to get you guys a gift. Can you tell me where you are registered?

If I want a Tesla Coil, does that mean I'm crazy too?

I think it depends on how you use it...
