GHOST CRAB: Political Correspondent
by Markasaurus on September 24, 2008 at 12:00 amI outsourced my business card printing to China, hoping that they would be back by Sunday (see post below) and they finally arrived! They are actually much classier-looking than I though they’d be.
You can’t really see it in the photo, but the monster and Richard Nixon both have Spot UV printing, so they are shiny like a book cover. The minimum order was for 300, and I estimate the readership of this site to be about 20, so if you ever meet me I will probably give you like a dozen business cards.
“Die, Dracula, Die” Is Playing At The Edmonton Film Festival In One Week!
by Markasaurus on September 21, 2008 at 12:00 amHoly crap! I didn’t mention this sooner because I was sick/not on the internets, but on September 28th “Die Dracula Die” is going to play at the 2008 Edmonton International Film Festival! At like a proper theatre and everything. Plus, perhaps most terrifyingly of all, I am allowed to do a director’s Q&A. I actually did this last year too, for “Frankenstein”, but this year I intend to be drunk! Trust me, I am funnier when I am drunk.
Anyway, they sent me an “Official Selection” decal, so now I am allowed to do shit like this…..
I will let you know how it goes.
Ugh. I hate Halloween fad costumes due to some permanent psychological scarring I suffered as a teenager. I grew up not on a farm, but surrounded by farm. Which meant that walking home there were no streetlights, so the journey would be made in almost total darkness and silence. So one year (I assume I must have been around 14 or 15) I just completely forgot about Halloween and I was walking home from wherever I had been when I heard footsteps behind me. Because it’s so quiet, someone treading lightly 30 feet behind you sounds as if you are about to get trampled by a horse. This person was much closer than 30 feet. So I turn around and there is a guy dressed as The Crow literally about two feet behind me. I just about shit my pants. The guy wasn’t up to anything sinister, he was just drunk and walking home and I didn’t hear him trying to overtake me for whatever reason. But yeah, when it’s that dark all you see is the white face paint. Right behind you in the middle of nowhere. When you didn’t even know it was Halloween. Yeah.
Seriously, how many shenanigans do you have to pull in politics before they finally arrest your ass? The only people I can think off who are more twisty than Rove are Richard Nixon and Peter Mandleson.
