went to Mega Masquerade yesterday. turnout was amazingly low. only one hall was used and yet it was practically deserted. people were most likely either afraid of the typhoon or out in the provinces for All Saints/Souls Day. good chance it was both both. ran into Dang, Marcelle, Mark, Carl and Char there.
shortly before leaving, I met up with an old blockmate and bought his Wii. great deal, too. barely used with four games and a second controller. now I just need to get
Twilight Princess,
Metroid Prime Trilogy,
Smash Bros. and two more controllers and I'm all set.
afterwards, I went to Jayca's place for our Halloween party. others in attendance were Crissa, Jane, Maan, Win and Win's friend whose name escapes me (Jack? John?). we had a 50's theme but I think Maan was the only one with an outfit appropriate for the era.
after the American diner style inspired dinner and a bit of drinking was done, we watched a couple of horror movies. the first one,
Paranormal Activity has been getting a lot of buzz and deservedly so, though I think the atmosphere took away from the horror. I've heard that theater screenings had people leaving halfway because they were too scared to finish the movie.
the second movie was
Nosferatu. maybe it's because the movie was somewhere around 80 years old but for the most part we found it funny. Count Orlock was seriously creepy, though.
