MirrorMask

Watched MirrorMask by Neil Gaiman & Dave McKean last night. Interesting movie reminiscent of Labyrinth/Never Ending Story/Dark Crystal, not just because of the Jim Henson involvement, but the overall plot & characters as well.

It really showcased McKean's artistic style with wide shots of scenes, often reducing the characters to dots.

Was good fun though with obligatory "turn evil" = "turn Goth" moment for lead character Helena :P

Moving stuff

We moved the Behemoth aka my desktop PC over to Sandyford. It was getting annoying not being able to use a powerful PC for games, etc.

We managed to juggle things around to fit things in but the cables are still a spaghetti explosion.

Some photos from the EBM/industrial/noize night...

Cocktails

Dilly dally J-boo, always late with the photos...

Went to see Xmen 3 on Friday with lady_bastet, pearcider & purple_beast. I enjoyed it. Love comic book movies.

Popped down to Blackrock on Saturday. Just pottered about then headed back to get ready for the evening.

For food, lady_bastet, pearcider & myself went to Aya. Had some lovely dim sum & a chicken & prawn yakisoba. Thankfully my head didn't swell up (slightly alergic to sea food).

Then we headed to The Dragon for cocktails with the gang to celebrate ickle_tayto's birthday. I stuck to JD & coke but the others sampled the various fruity cocktails.

We all headed on to Dominion which was the EBM/industrial/noise night. Don't think the style went down well. Think it pushed the sound system too much.

Finally went for a drive up to Powerscourt today with lady_bastet & ickle_tayto...

Black Sheep

Here's the photos from tabilities's gig...

Threw the photos from the Irish Heritage Park onto Flickr...
