Hallowe'en weekend quickies

• Got back from Philly on Thursday evening and met up with Chris and Sean for sushi dinner at You You, and an early start on our annual zombie-fest. We opened with a classic from 1985, Dan O'Bannon's Return of the Living Dead (RT 88%). "Send… more… paramedics."
• We got a decent number of Trick-or-Treaters last night. The tombstones look good, and the new "plumbing" that Sean did for the fog machine worked really well. Lots of compliments. Sean bought the Resident Evil trilogy on Blu-ray, so we chased "Living Dead" with Resident Evil: Apocalypse (RT 21%). "I'm leaving town, and I suggest you all do the same."
• We had a non-traditional Día de los Muertos breakfast at Parker's Maple Barn in Mason, NH: pumpkin waffles with real maple syrup. So good.
• Today we're just vegging out and playing Little Big Planet. We're working our way through an amusing story arc that has a whole Day of the Dead themed wedding, lots and lots of calaveras, and some adorable costume pieces. Fun stuff.
• Also, I am now a Twitter dork. I haven't succumbed to the Facebook, but I followed Poz & Curt's lead. If you're interested in the random thoughts that enter my head, please enjoy: http://twitter.com/popplers.
