"If I'm reading this right, and I'd like to think I am... this is probabIy the best jumper ever designed."

I mean, holy crap. It's got an empirical operating distance of twenty feet even with a priori knowledge.

Bonus points if you get the original reference (which is not in itself original, he hinted). The only people likely to get the clothing reference are (a) unlikely to comment or (b) not readers of this livejournal, respectively.

I've been invited to a Hallowe'en party tonight, and dressing up was strongly indicated both in the initial invitation and the subsequent conversation, so I've been working on that. What has amused me most so far is the fact that fake blood which - as advertised on the packaging - runs, thickens and darkens just like the real thing, is much, much harder to clean off.

The denims I bought in a hurry last week, despite being "my size", are just fractionally too big at the waist, and putting a belt on, while effective, puts an extra crease down the front. Nothing too disastrous since I tend to wear a shirt over the denims anyway, but I figured I'd at least see if the shop was willing to trade them for a smaller pair.

Alas, the denims were purchased on sale and the remaining stock is all the same size as what I already have. We discussed my options, whereupon the assistant suuggested, "why don't you just put on some weight?"

Eventually I figured, heck, they're close enough to fitting that I'll cope. And maybe take up a steak-and-guinness diet in the meantime.
