Lots of things
Oct. 30th, 2007 07:49 pmPop quiz: What was I this Halloween?
a. A dead bird
b. Mia Fey
c. The moon, with my costume from high school
d. A Target employee
If you said "I see what you did there," to (a) and (b), thought (c) was likely, and then decided the answer was probably (d), you are completely wrong. At the Halloween party I went to on Saturday, I was, in fact, a dead bird. I had these feather wings and a bird beak, and I was going to use fake blood on my forehead to represent the point of impact with the window, but I couldn't get it to look right, so I just told everybody that I didn't need it because the little buggers never show marks anyway.
Today I went to the Mall of America, as is my custom. They've got all these Halloween decorations in the rotunda, although I'm not sure whether they have something to do with the Park After Dark thing going on right now, or if they're for something else. Anyway, one of the decorations is a skeleton riding a broom. Um, no. YOU ARE MIXING YOUR METAPHORS. Unless there's some obscure legend out there about broom-riding skeletons that, now that I've complained about it, probably actually does exist, in which case I look like a jackass.
I finally picked up Trials and Tribulations! It is good. A full reaction post is in the works, and will be up whenever I finish. Now I just have to figure out what to do with the copy I ordered from Capcom, assuming it ever gets here. I swear to God, the only modicum of satisfaction I have received from this stupid company to date is in their wonderful, wonderful games. ARGH. I don't like you, Capcom; why must your games be so awesome?
I also got Prism, because I liked what Tycho on PA said about it. It sounded like the kind of game I'd be into. I've only played a bit of it so far, but it's pretty cute, and the music, although it consists of only one song as far as I can tell, is completely and utterly adorable.
