Put them in the iron maiden (Excellent!)
So, last Wednesday, Hades and I had plans to go to Hartford to see Iron Maiden. Hades apparently has moved his dating operation online and had found a girl who lived near Hartford. Well, what comes next ought to be obvious. When going with one of his buddies to a metal show, he should somehow make a date out of the trip, too. Right. Now some of you might be thinking he invited her to the show. No, no. We were going to meet her for dinner. We. Hades. Me. Girl. Nothing smoother than having me along on your date. As it happens, it probably worked out for the best. It seems Hades has never seen a very good picture and some of her information was... confusing. So we wound up eating dinner with a girl who weighed a lot more than either of us. Not what anyone expected.
The concert was also kind of an unfortunately surprise. Iron Maiden's new album (A Matter of Life and Death) is their first top ten in the US. So they played all the songs in a row. 70 minutes of songs I had never heard. The only upside is that they were cool songs. But the 20 minutes of familiar music at the end still left me feeling unsatisfied.
Simpsons quote of the day: The Simpsons sing about what kind of nanny they want: Lisa: If Maggie's fussy, don't avoid her,
Bart: Let me get away with moider!
Lisa: Teach us songs and magic tricks,
Homer: Might I add - no fat chicks!
