hallowe'en redux

The tally, as I remember it: one mod (girl), one absolutely mackin' pimp, one injured superhero, one Philip Marlowe/Sam Spade (he wasn't picky), one Death/Emperor Palpatine (original idea abandoned in favour of not wearing a mask), one dark angel of some sort (all in black rather than white, basically), one schoolgirl, one priest (with PERV written on his collar, a nice touch), one kurdish tribesman, one Chuck Norris, one bloodstained doctor, one female vampire (I think), and two zombies (one of which was me). Oh yeah, and someone showed up as a very convincing "crazy neighbour who complains about the loud music". They didn't stay long, though.

My camera did not make me happy: aside from the fact that I took a few pictures from too far away for the flash to have an effect (yes, my fault, I know) it did its thing where it refuses to switch on and even the usual trick of popping out the batteries momentarily didn't fix it, so I ended up with 8 photos. At least there's one of me as Zombie #1.

insufficient trash detected

I'm in the frame of mind where I'd really like to go watch something trashy at the cinema (much like last month), but I'm a bit knackered after last night's bacchanalia and inclined to drift into a slack-jawed daze if I sit still for more than five minutes, and there's nothing quite trashy enough for that sort of behaviour on at the IMC tonight.

No, I have no plans to go see Borat, either.

poor timing

Just saw an advert on TV for www.cdwow.ie which mentioned free delivery, so I figured I'd check them out. The site is displaying Perl debug traces (Data::Dumper output) all over the place and no DVD images, prices or other details. That's that advertising budget wasted...
