How’s your 666 day going? I’ve just been working all day, no sign of the Devil at all, unless you count the hours I spent writing up my review the new remake of The Omen, which I think is a hoot, and not just because my boy Liev Schreiber is in it. But how weird is it that Liev will be starring in, ahem, the curse’d Scottish play, the one you’re not supposed to mention by name inside a theater but which many theater folk -- of which I am one, having been a willing community-theater slave for many years -- will not name at all, anywhere, even if we’re not generally superstitious? (It’s just tradition, you know, to call it “the Scottish play.”) Anyway, after seeing Liev in Henry V in Central Park a couple years ago and having my devotion to him thus cemented, his brilliance and geeky Xer adorableness being at that instance so obvious, I plan on getting on line veeeery early one morning soon for free Shakespeare in the Park tickets. I hope he appreciates it.
I guess we shouldn’t find it so weird that so many people are so concerned about a date on a calendar -- CNN is even reporting that one woman induced labor so that she wouldn’t give birth today! (why would anyone threaten her own health or that of her baby for a numeral?) -- because people worry about the stupidest crap. Though it is interesting that bride-of-Satan Ann Coulter would suggest that releasing her new liberal-bashing book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism, today is a some sort of tribute to liberals. *wink* I think we know where you’re really coming from, Ann...
Anyway, the Biblical scholars are actually calling for mini-Armageddon in a couple of days -- apparently the UN in New York has an 85 percent chance of being nuclear-bombed this coming weekend. Well, it was getting to be time to haul out the sunscreen anyway...
Far as I can see, the best thing to come out of this weird date of 06-06-06 is that my buddy Voltaire -- funky folk-rock musician, comic book artist, and Goth king of New York -- is offering a buy-two-get-one-free CD offer. And if you haven’t heard Voltaire already, this is the perfect chance to get in on the best-kept secret in geek music. From V’s email today:
