A recap and long awaited picture

[jchrisobrien]

First things first,




Halloween pic was finally posted.  Eventually, the other pictures will show up too!

Thanksgiving was full of awesome, as already stated.  The day after I braved the Burlington Mall with Mathew to price some Christmas gifts, and completely fail in trying to buy new jeans.  That evening I watched Planet B-Boy with another small group.  The dancing is really, really amazing, and all of the dancers are about half my age.  Sigh.  If you are at all a fan of dancing, see this movie!

Saturday I picked up a Warhammer buddy who was visiting from New York, and we got some games in.  I got home just in time to pick up my roommate and see Let the Right One In at the Kendall.  GREAT film.  A really well told vampire story with an unusual and unsettling vampire.  Great in so many ways, not overly gory, sometimes accidentally funny.  After the movie we moved to the Green St. Grill for dinner and drinks, and I ended the night at a housewarming party.  Fight Club was on the TV, and (sadly) in another room as well.  I can't remember the last time I was around an actual fight.  It's as unsettling as you might think.  There were no permanent injuries, but things almost go truly out of hand before the police were called.  I played the White Knight and drove one of the guests home, we had an animated and engaging conversation on the way.  *rubs chin thoughtfully

Sunday we embarked on the next leg of our pirate adventures, where I captured my first ship as captain.  I also got our ship rammed, but it worked out in the end. Heh. 

Today, I am dragging, like many other folks out there.  I also have some emails to answer, or not.  When you get an email from a dating site that you're not interested in responding to, what is the correct etiquette?  A short "I'm not interested or available" type note (more politely phrased of course) or simply not responding to the person?

oh, p.s. I REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT TO SEE PLANET B BOY

[etrinao.livejournal.com]

oh, and p.p.s respond even if it's only "flattered, but not interested" because i hate it when i send people messages and they never respond. wouldn't you want her to respond, even if only to say "no thanks"?

Thanks on the costume!

You'll really, really like Planet B-Boy. :)

A reply is always better than nothing, well said.

Seth is a very good photographer, the make up artist was top notch, and the model isn't half bad either! ;)

True, I simply have an uncanny resemblence to Johnny Depp. ;)

You should see the faces of my co-workers when they stop by my office and catch me singing to my razors...

Oh ugh, real life fights are SO unsettling. What isn't unsettling, however, is that costume. Wow.

I think a simple "Thank you, but I'm not interested" is better than ignoring.

Thank you! *takes a bow.
