I heard sometime back that the Masquerade has been postponed. I am disappointed but thankful that it will still happen in the future. There were two things that caused this. The venue backed due to an unforseen problem, and the guest speaker had to reschedule due to a health issue. Now, I do know who this speaker is so I’m very thankful for the postpone. I’d rather reschedule to be there another time, then go to the original date and miss this person entirely. It’s a surprise as to who it is, and I can see why. What a surprise indeed. I believe one of my friends here was also attending. Phantomess? Please email phantomsmasquerade they are trying to reach you.

At any rate, I still have my costume ready, and I have plenty of patience. I now have a vodoo doll to keep me busy.

I’ve finally awakened from my self induced “blind eye” for the Holidays. I can’t say I have anything to look forward to during Christmas. It’s not as if anyone would bring a present to me, and what would they bring? Nothing that I’d find useful anyway. The best Christmas present I could have received was nothing more than a mere fantasy. ” As visions of him hanging from tree, danced in my head” Alas, no Raoul took some trip abroad for Christmas and the New Year. I’m not sure where Christine spent the holidays. Perhaps with Madame. I’ve been too busy locked away inside my home working on a new plan for a cathedral in Italy, and new plan to ruin Raoul’s home. There’s nothing like a weak foundation.

Moreover I’m just in quite the piss mood today. I had to spend some of the angry energy splitting firewood. I now have 3 ricks.

Of course I won’t be getting any royalties off the newest ear piercing Phantom of Manhattan rehash into Love never dies either.
I wonder how many sods have purchased in advance for this cd? Eagerly awaiting while biting their nails in anticipation.

Bah I witnessed Raman-noodle doing a song from the new show. Boring. Nothing more to say, and I wasn’t shocked.

I do plan to spend a quiet evening at home, but the thought of terrorizing the small children is tempting. :evil grin:

Rays of light, last in the sky,
with descending sun, soon to die…

This night, demons will have feast,
this night, world is for the beast…

I’ve been contacted by a couple of other internet businesses asking to advertise on Crankyphantom. That’s great. I thought about it and I’d first like to extend the invitation to other Phantom based websites.

1.) If anyone wants to advertise here on this website to up traffic to their website, feel free to contact me. I won’t charge you an arm and a leg. All you have to do is pay a small fee, and agree to a 3 month advertising campaign (your add on this site for 3 months)

2.) Also notice the top of this page. I have placed a text link for keeping CrankyPhantom alive on the internet. Why? I would like to take crankyphantom into a full blow internet “Phantom website” I know there are many of them, and yes they have forums, but I do believe we have a unique crowd and it would be delightfully special amongst the other phantom websites. In order to do this, I need support. In order to keep this journal and website afloat the link is there.

3.) I am very serious about helping charity so again I will post more information on the coming book soon.

4.) I will also be giving away a Phantom of the Opera Movie soundtrack CD,
(complete with booklet never been opened -pink and white)

Those that want to enter the drawing are only required to donate $1
The name will be drawn and the winner announced. More information about this will be available soon.

Until then, keep reading, I’ll keep writing and entertaining, and tell everyone about
crankyphantom.com and crankyphantom.com/blog

Ah, Halloween. A time that even I can walk amongst other’s and actually receive compliments instead of those that would draw back in horror.

I have to laugh to myself during this time, they think it’s just a Halloween costume.  I, however do not hand out candy to children. That’s why my estate is far from public knowledge or whereabouts. I prefer to sit at home and drink rum cider and listen to eerie music throughout the chambers.

A time to develop new “gifts” for my enemies.

I do have quite the surprise for my fans.  A good friend of mine will be releasing  a kind of book for your pleasure. Her proceeds will benefit the outstanding charity that I support, and in purchasing the grim book, you will be helping others in need.

This is not your typical Phantom book, no, it’s something that you’ll be able to share for generations.

Dark Nursery Rhymes

I wanted to announce it here, it’s the least I can do for small children. I will post when it is complete, and let you know where (online) you can purchase it. Don’t fret, it will not be expensive, but rather inexpensive, and good for all the phantom, gothic, dark communitie’s children.

Due to building my home I did not get to review this book on August 1st. I’d like to ask the readers if they have read it and if not to please do so. I’d like to have that review sometime soon. Please comment back and let me know who has and hasn’t read this book.

From the main page of my website you can find several links on the left hand side under “Opinion” this has been where I have posted the questions sent to me that I choose to answer. However that section (opinions) will be made into something interesting and the Q&A will now be posted in my journal(blog) There’s no reason to make my loyal fans work so hard to see my cranky answers and there isn’t any reason to hide the ridiculous questions from your sight. Oh yes I do think I’ll highly enjoy posting them here where each and every person can view them.  :evil grin:

Yours Truly,

E.
