The Day of Rockening?
Well, the Day of the Beast (No, not this!) seemed to be marked mainly by glorious sunshine, a fairly easy day at work, and all things far from fire and brimstone.
So the occasion wasn't completely lost, I gave in to the temptation of cheesiness and went to see The Omen remake. (It's quite good, but adds nothing if you've seen the original - I think the script was copied verbatim.) It seems most of Sheffield had the same idea, and I got one of the last tickets before every showing sold out, even though they put it on two screens simultaneously. I wonder how successful it would have been if it wasn't for the significance of the date? Could this film have the biggest second day drop-off in takings ever? And when did we all become such number geeks anyway?
Hmmm, Lost is on in a few minutes... ;o)
I also marked the day by purchasing Lordi's album. Which, as you would expect, rocks. ]:o)
