Loose ends.

You may recall me mentioning a horror wedding that was to be held this Halloween - here's an update. Horror-writer Axelle Carolyn (she reviews movies for magazines, interviews movie personalities, etc.) was married to movie director Neil Marshall (who directed last year's "The Descent") on Halloween day. I know Axelle through DoomBuggies, naturally - she's a huge Phantom Manor fan, which is the Disneyland Paris version of the Haunted Mansion. I recorded the Bridal March in a minor key for her, and they played the recording as they entered their wedding reception. She also sent me a photo of her wedding cake - a scale model of Phantom Manor... naturally.


The cake toppers...


The cake...


And the bride and groom, who cut the cake with a machette (naturally!)

In other news, I purchased my first ever higher-endish computer - a Gateway with an AMD 64 Live dual core processor, 2 gigs of ram, a 500 gig hard drive, and a few other bells and whistles. Needless to say, since the computer contains Microsoft's awesome new better-than-ever operating system (I don't want to name names, so let's just call it "pissed-uh"), I have been receiving the infamous blue screen of death a couple times a day. I do plan to be victorious over this machine, however. Maybe it's just cranky because it knows it's been refurbished. Maybe it's embarrassed that it contains a TV tuner card. Who knows. Still more power than you can get in a Mac that's three times the price.
