I had a pretty great end of last week. Brooke’s younger brother Bart was visiting us and man, is he a geek superstar!

I grew up an only child, but this guy instantly felt like my own flesh and blood. Too much fun.

We went to Algebars, Earth Prime Comics/Quarterstaff and rocked the H.P. Lovecraft role-playing game, Call of Cthulhu. Algebars, if you weren’t already aware, is awesome.

The only downside is that I didn’t see any shows, because Bart is too young (19, 20?) for the clubs. But I didn’t mind, as I’m currently experiencing a wee bit of scene apathy.

Tomorrow is 6-6-06. Definitely gonna see the remake of The Omen. I don’t care how bad it is. Watching it with our pals Chris & Molly will help ease the pain.

And:

This clip is from ’96, so I think it’s Paul Bostaph on drums, not Dave Lombardo. Too bad.

Oh, shit… I said no more metal for a while. But I had to make an exception, considering.

Nice comic, I posted a quick review of the Call of Cthulhu PC game over at awkbomb.com, check it out; if you’ve got a PC, it’s loads of fun. There’s a link to a more indepth review at gamespot, and one to the wikipedia entry on lovecraft…

And though there’s no way to top the orginal, i’m so going to see it tommorrow too. a bunch of people i know are hitting the 7:30ish one at cinema 9. maybe we’ll see you all there

Keep it evil,

That’s the thing about being a Mac person. No good gaming action.

I think this movie is gonna suck.

But I’ve been listening to “rain In Blood” all day, and that’s been AWESOME!
