Ahhh.. now *there* is the October weather I’ve been waiting for! 55 degrees! That’s the stuff!
Random bit of fun – the other day I saw a cyclist riding around on a penny-farthing bicycle… in helmet, spandex shorts and so on. I would’ve almost preferred to see a bowler hat and waxed moustache, but the clash of modern and historical was even better, I think.
Halloweenie Survey –
Childhood
What is the first costume you remember wearing?
Masque of the Red Death
What was your favorite costume?
Tin foil robot was a fun one… glowstick eyes!

Going to the Li’l Demon Disco way back when, and dealing with dumb older kids bossing little kids around.

Not houses… but we did egg some kids that were mean to us… see above. We got punished – rightfully so.

Nope… but I did make some trades that seemed awfully in my favor – I give you my smarties, and you give me your fun size snicker bars? sure!
Misc Questions
If you were a character in a horror movie, would you survive?
I hope so! I’d probably be the “safe guy” that dies after you think the monster was dispatched, but really wasn’t.
Would you live in a house that was rumored to be haunted?
Sure… I’d at least check it out.
Would you live in a house where someone had been murdered?
As long as the killer wasn’t around to repeat the crime, sure.
Other than a gun, name the first murder weapon that comes to mind?
Cinder Block. Oh, ouch. Why didn’t I think of poison or a knife?
Would you ever be a mortician?
Depends… I think maybe yes.
Do U fit serial killer profile?
I don’t think that I’m antisocial enough.
Do you believe people can be possessed?
No, I don’t.
What is something that will haunt you for the rest of your life?
Seeing my dad on his deathbed is pretty enduring.
How do you feel about death and dying?
I think that it’s something that happens – I can be pretty sensitive or pretty well-armored to it, depending on the situation.
Have you ever seen a dead body, other than in a funeral home?
Yup.
Were you afraid to go in the ocean after you saw Jaws?
I was, but I was a little kid! I got over it in under a week.
Would you eat a human if your life depended on it?
Probably. I hope I never have to find out.
What was your last nightmare?
I dreamed that my body was made of plastic squares, and pieces were left behind wherever I went… I was worried that I’d run out, because I couldn’t put the acrylic/lego type squares back on.
Rather be buried alive for a night or sleep next to a dead body?
Sleep next to a dead body.

The Small Press Expo will be held in Bethesda this weekend, Friday and Saturday. SPX is the biggest gathering of independent comic artists and cartoonists on the east coast and will feature many local artists from DC, Maryland and Virginia. I’ve got other plans (birthday party – even more fun, and pre-scheduled)
Movies I haven’t seen yet, but wouldn’t mind catching in the theater while they’re still out –
3:10 to Yuma
Darjeeling Limited
Michael Clayton
Eastern Promises
We Own The Night
The Dark Is Rising – yikes… really poor reviews. Maybe not.
Whoops – Dragon Wars movie is already kaput? That didn’t take long. I guess it’s just as well.
No movie tonight, however. We’re preparing for the previously mentioned party for Bugah and Em’s… we’re going to be pulling the in-laws and louise in tow, so it should be a humdinger.
