Satin Sheets

Put our new black satin sheets on the bed last night. It's like sleeping on ice but they are nice :P

lady_bastet got me tonnes of stuff again for Xmas. Among other things I got Half-Life 2 for the Xbox which is excellent & a stunning port from the PC. Also got a Versinthe box set, loads of classic books (Invisible Man, Jekyll & Hyde, Sherlock Holmes, etc.), cute Lenore figures & a Cure & Tim Burton book. She got me lots of other things but to list them out would look bonkers.

My mum & dad got me a Furby. I could introduce my one to gothicfurby's.

Happy birthday, gothicfurby

Zombina

I completely forgot Zombina & The Skeletones were playing last night despite having chatted about it at ickle_tayto's. nephster13 reminded me in the morning.

Dashed home after work to get ready then back into town. Picked up a little something for lady_bastet :P Met up with nephster13 & Marita before heading onto Eamon Doran's.

Made are way down to Eamon Doran's where we bumped into lil' Rachel, Laura & Dec & waited for ages for BSOBK to start up. I thought they were very good, wasn't sure what to expect as they've warmed up for many bands around Dublin. Zombina was unfortunately sick so I was a bit disappointed. The band still put on a good show but seemed embarrassed about Zombina's absence (apologised 4 times).

Took a small few photos which will eventually get sorted.

Busy Times

Had a work Xmas party on Friday which was good fun. Free drink & finger food courtesy of the job. lady_bastet joined me & ickle_tayto & blackberry_roan came along later, invited by Maggie. The place was packed but all went well. The gang are a good laugh in here & I'm sure they also enjoyed the night.

On Saturday, lady_bastet & I went to the IFSC Xmas market again, this time without a 5 year old in tow. Later on we headed over to ickle_tayto's for her little get together. ickle_tayto had some lovely food, assisted by her friend Hannah & pearcider provided the pear cider (of course)!

Have some photos from ickle_tayto's. Though a few are of Miss O flaunting her assets :P

Narnia & Depeche Mode

Went to see Narnia last night with lady_bastet. Another children's book I never read so I was looking on it from a movie goer's perspective. I enjoyed it though it did feel a little drawn out at some points & the kids were a little bit odd (though that what kids were like in the 40s I suppose).

Also booked our tickets for Depeche Mode in June 06. I hurriedly booked tickets in the block behind standing because my search for standing tickets failed. Unfortuntely, after that the standing search succeeded. Still it's ok, the gig's what matters.

Anyone for IFI tonight?

DVDs

What with having poor TV reception in 's room, we've been watching quite a few of our DVDs over the past few weeks. We've already gotten through Season 2 of Quantum Leap, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory & a good few more.

Last night, I watched The Crow. In the past I've always watched it with quite a low brightness setting on the TV to keep the mood but this time I wanted to catch some more visual details. Whether, it was this or because I haven't watched it in a while, it felt like quite a different movie.

I was also reminded what a fantastic soundtrack and score it had. From The Cure to Nine Inch Nails to ...Thrill Kill Kult, all in all forming a perfect moody backdrop.

As was pointed out on iegoth, Jane Siberry will be playing in Dublin next March. Jane provided the soundtrack interpretation of Hangman's Joke's (Eric Draven's band) song "It Can't Rain All The Time". A haunting end to the movie & a sad reminder of Brandon Lee's passing.

Favourite Quotes:

T-Bird: "Abashed the Devil stood and felt how awful goodness is."

Eric: "Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children."

Suffering now after ice skating with lady_bastet & her little cousin. I ache, a lot. Still they had fun. Went to a market in the IFSC & then to see Santa in St. Stephen's Green.

Uploaded KMFDM photos to http://www.photobox.ie/album/2239755. Tried to put a bit more effort into these than the last few but they're still rather dark.

Gig & Dominion Photos

Uploaded the photos from Gene Loves Jezebel & Spear Of Destiny to http://www.photobox.ie/album/2222534. Enjoyed GLJ but wasn't so sure about SoD, don't know anything by them.

Also threw a few of Dominion afterwards up to http://www.photobox.ie/album/2222526. Smooch smooch :P

New Snappy Man

I've encountered the name before, but only just checked out, spudgun77. He does some gorgeous gothic/fetish photography featuring the stunning _hellexa_ & varioussorrows.
