I went to a co-worker/IRC acquaintance's Halloween party last night, at which the first ever picture of koyote and I together was taken. It was fun. The party, that is. I threw together a soldier costume out of Koy's army surplus clothing, and should have put ten more minutes of work into it, as it was apparently not obvious that I was supposed to be a soldier ("What are you supposed to be? A hippy?"). Next time I'll make sure I have a gun...

If you have a chance to see Spirited Away, I reccommend it. It's by the same person who did My Neighbor Totoro, which is the absolute best kid's movie ever. Spirited is darker (it seems to be aimed at 7-10 year olds or so, rather than young kids like Totoro), and slightly more Disneyfied, but equally gorgeous.

I'm curious as to just how much of the dialogue was essentially a direct translation of the original, and how much was Disney. A few lines in particular seemed to be the type of adult-aimed humor Disney likes to stick in their movies.

We had a fun incident on the way to the movie. koyote wanted to stop into a game shop to get something for D&D. We look around for a while, and he showed me this card game called Fluxx, saying it's the best game ever (which it is).

I asked if he's planning to buy it.

He said yes, and asked why I was asking.

I explained that I bought it for him for Christmas, in the same shop the week before.

At least I know that I correctly judged him, and that it's a present he'll appreciate :)

By the way - if any of you reading this happen to have met me in real life, please do not share anything in this journal with anyone we may mutually know without talking to me first. Thanks. (Not aimed at anyone on my friends list, though it still applies)

The journal in general :) I'll edit for clarity.
