"Kids! Bringing about Armageddon can be dangerous. Do not attempt it in your home."

^^ Dude! I love that book. Made me pick up all that is Gaiman, and is leaving me tense for the upcoming movie MirrorMask. Makes me wanna whoot! like only Arsenio Hall can.
So, tomorrow is 6/6/06. I wonder if the new Omen will even come close to the original. I mean, Julia Stiles?!? Will the end of the movie have Damien whip off his geeky 666, only to find out he’s one of the hottest kids in the 3rd grade and ends up w/ a date to the Prom? I just can’t take her seriously. They might as well have cast Leelee Sobieski, made Richard Thorn into a nrevous Jew and turned Damien into a girl named Mabel. Yeesh.

I left alone my mind was blank,
I needed time think to get the memories from my mind
What did I see? Can I believe that what I saw
that night was real and not just fantasy?
Just what I saw in my old dreams, were they
reflections of my warped mind staring back at me?
Cos in my dreams it’s always there
the evil face that twists my mind
and brings me to despair
The night was black, was no use holding back
Cos I just had to see was someone watching me
In the mist dark figures move and twist
was this all for real or just some kind of hell?
666… the number of the beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
as they start to cry hands held to the sky
In the night the fires burning bright
the ritual has begun Satan’s work is done
666… the number of the beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight
This can’t go on I must inform the law
Can this still be real or just some crazy dream?
but I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes
they seem to mesmerise me…can’t avoid their eyes
666… the number of the beast
666… the one for you and me
I’m coming back I will return
And I’ll possess your body and I’ll make you burn
I have the fire I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take it’s course

What would’ve been cool is if this was blog #666 (sadly, we hit this around sometime last year)
So let’s do the next best thing and try for 666 comments!

Happy 6/6/06!!!
p.s. is anyone actually going to see the Omen remake this week?
Sweet, Gaiman fans! Trajeal, mirrormask has been on dvd for months now, check it out, it’s awesome.
Anyone have dumb 6/6/06 stuff in their local news? A school here shut down and some local moms had c-sections yesterday to avoid having their own little Damiens. sheesh.

Matt’s 666 Blog entry was about Jones Halloween Soda. Here’s the link:
But I can’t seem to find what Matt did for his 666 article, though. The closest I cold find was 667, which is about He-Man’s friend Roboto.

Gaiman fans are all well and good, but where my Pratchett beeyotches at? I have all his books, you’re jealous.
Terry Pratchett said that if he and Neil Gaiman ever wrote a sequel (and they say they absolutely won’t) they’d call it "668: The Neighbor of the Beast".

So…the Haunted Mansion was that scary, huh?

if anyone was wondering, just saw the new omen movie… it was pretty sub-par. Haven’t seen the origional so cant compare, but besides for things popping out at you, there is no fear to be had, none…
and its good for a few laughs so that could perhaps make it worth while, but ill leave it at that.
Anyone else here see it?

HEY THERE FOLKS! JUST THOUGHT YOU HIP KIDS SHOULD KNOW THAT PEPSI IS COMING OUT WITH "PEPSI GOLD". UN FORTUNATELY, IT’S ONLY IN THAILAND. CHECK OUT THIS NEW REPORT.World Cup fever has hit Thailand with a gold-coloured cola being made available, according to local reports.
Thai newspaper The Nation said yesterday (5 June) that Pepsi
Close pop-up
-Cola (Thai) Trading has unveiled limited edition Pepsi Gold in the country. The drink tastes the same as normal Pepsi, but differs only in appearance and packaging, the paper said.
“Thailand is one of Pepsi’s key markets around the world for launching the complete line of sport marketing activities consisting of exciting television commercials, attractive promotional campaigns and the launch of new product and packaging innovations,” Charlie Jitcharoongphorn, the bottler’s marketing director, was quoted as saying in the report.
Editorial Comment
Interesting to see Pepsi not resting on its laurels as the tournament approaches, what with arch-rival Coke being one of the official sponsors.
“We expect to boost Pepsi’s share of the cola drink market by 0.5 percentage points to 63.5% due to this year’s sports marketing campaign,” Jitcharoongphorn added.
A Pepsi Gold television commercial titled ‘Autograph’, starring French footballer Thierry Henry and supermodel Claudia Schiffer, will air soon, the report concluded.

I was about to say that Eddie Lightning Frog had the BEST POST EVER,but then of course Yeti had to go and beat him
And I also love Neal Gaiman. His comics are better than his books,but his books are awesome too.

Welsh Rabbit: Ooh, ooh! Me! I’m a Pratchett beeyotch! That’s why I picked up the book, actually. I was all out of Discworld novels and tired of waiting for Thud! to go to paperback. Fortunately, the book turned out so well that it made me a Gaiman fan too. Not, I feel compelled to point out, a Gaiman beeyotch, but I suppose time will tell. To this day, I use Pratchett’s explanation of the origin of the universe. "In the Beginning, there was Nothing. Which exploded."

Yeah, there was a ten minute long bit of nonsense on the news the other night here about June 6th.
trajeal –
Upcoming movie Mirrormask? It’s sitting on my shelf. Did I miss something?
Chestnuts roasted by Jessica Marie @ 06/07/2006 9:26 AM
No, apparently I missed something. I wasn’t watching Internet buzz – I actually was waiting for it to show up in the theatre. If it did, it wasn’t in theatres around here. Guess I’ll be checking Amazon. Harumph.
I wonder how many babies were born on 9/11? A woman from my old playgroup was born on the day of the Tate/LaBianca murders by the Manson crew. She said her mom sat, watching the news and wondering about Sharon Tate’s lost baby. In reality, that could have been any pregnant woman and her baby. Not that the mothers could have had c-sections to avoid that like they can for 6/6/06. What dr would agree to that? "Risking" the mother and baby’s lives to avoid superstition?
