Sun, 20:47 : Reading with Elinor on my lap, half-watching Iron Maiden's �En Vivo! on AXS.tv, goofing on Bruce Dickinson's fanny pack. How fashionable! Sun, 21:42 : Heavy metal mascots on my mind: Eddie the Head, Vic Rattlehead, Snaggletooth the War Pig. Never underestimate the power of a potent symbol. Mon, 00:56 : I should love Jackson's King Kong. But somehow, state-of-the-art CG Kong has nothing on O'Brien's 18" metal armature covered in rabbit fur. Mon, 02:27 : 5 Golden Rings: Hazy, bright Belgian gold with a lovely cloudlike head, but WTF-spiked w/pineapple liqueur & cloves. http://t.co/3gK86hLT Mon, 05:04 : I have a book by @BrianKeene, a bathtub, and a beer. Nobody better bother me for the next 45 minutes to an hour, okay? </ul
