Heart strings ]|[

Being the second sequel to my shit-ically acclaimed Dec. 24, 2015 post, and an attempt to improve on the weak June 19 follow-up. I've bent the unwritten rules to allow crossbows as well as bows. Jesus, you'd bend anything for a stunner like Carole Bouquet, including the Second Law Of Thermodynamics. Ahem. From de top to de bot: Amy Acker in an episode of "Angel", Ana Ularu in "Werewolf: The Beast Among Us", the aforementioned Ms Bouquet in "For Your Eyes Only", Gemma Arterton in "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters", Jessica Biel in "Blade: Trinity", Katheryn Winnick in an ep of "Vikings", Milla Jovovich in "Resident Evil: Extinction" (the second "R/E" instalment), Sophie Turner in a deleted scene from "X-Men: Apocalypse", Tracy Spiridakos in an ep of "Revolution", and Willa Holland in a promo for "Arrow".

Halloween fell on a Monday...

...and there's only so much stuff you can do post-work. That's why I commenced my pagan celebration on Sunday, playing co-operative "OneChanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers" [Wii] with AM. Character advancement was glacial, but it was something humorously unusual.

So here's what I lined up for Halloween proper:

I ate the pumpkin soup, four pieces of the pumpkin-seed bread and three of the vampire Freddos (alas, they haven't modified the choccies themselves, only the bag and wrappers). Got through 100% of the monster mag (ta, DL), 50% of the spooky audioplay (classic Mark Gatiss) and 0% of "Cloverfield" ($2 from a local op shop). Why no filmage? 'Cos there was a better - and still thematically acceptable - option on the WWE Network and it went for freakin' hours!

All I could manage after that assortment was to fall asleep listening to the Big Finish Halloween Podcast.

Hope your October 31st was fang-tastic!
