Happy Yesterween!
Well, that was a good evening. Cynra did the majority of treat handling. A chilly drizzle fell for a good part of the evening, which may have kept a few trick and/or treaters away.
I was sent on a dinner mission (Operation: Pizza and wings) and stopped by one of Mississauga's many comics shops on the way home to pick up the new Astro City. I also picked up the first 100 Bullets trade. I think someone on LJ recommended it yesterday, and it had always seemed interesting so I picked it up. The paper was kinda flimsy for a trade (I'm used to the glossy stuff in trades, I guess) but the stories were neat. The second one? Depressing. I find the backstory is interesting, too. I will pick up book two shortly.
The clerk at the store gave me a Vertigo sampler (Vertigo: First Offences) as a gift. Happy Halloween indeed! I guess he liked my overwrought office worker costume.
We had a few folks still arriving for candy by the time I got home, but it petered out as the evening went along. The cat pumpkin was adorable but appeared to suffer some structural issues, as its head fell off and rolled a couple feet away. Initially, we thought it had been abducted by local pests (racoons or teenagers), but it was eventually found.
We saw the Buffy episode of Smallville (oh, look. Lana is possessed by an evil force AGAIN. Thankfully she has no opeating brain cells, or she'd start to remember things). Very horrid. At least we get to see Braniac go all T-1000 on some guy.
We REALLY need that Legion of Superheroes episode, before the show swirls down into a whirlpool of suck and gets put out of its misery. At least the actor playing Braniac hadn't undergone dental surgery before his takes this week.
D&D game for tomorrow is cancelled, which is unfortunate, but will give me time to tidy up before Halo 2: A Bomb for the Old Guy. Regular game is on Thursday. Must see if Dragon Lady sells long boxes, as I've started to store comix in rubbermaids.
Extended XML rental. Alllllmost finished. Damn Master Mold is tricky. Am I suposed to be shutting off the control panels or something?
