I'm so happy it's Friday! I'm having friends over tonight for a wee Halloween-costume and early-birthday party for myself, and we'll be watching two of my favourite films. First is a zombie film, REC, the awesome original in Spanish. Basically, the film that Quarantine copied exactly to every detail... because apparently most Americans are too lazy to read subtitles. And choose really bad actors to make their lazy-American "remake". Ahem. Anyway. Next up will be Trick 'r Treat, a dark-comedy/comedy-horror type film. It managed to surprise me several times and give me some good spooky laughs with moments of creeped-out-ness, and I approve hehe.
Then tomorrow, my friend Tina is coming over and we're going to do a Walking Dead marathon through all of Season 1, which should be fun. Five straight hours of zombies, anyone? I'm saving Season 2 for actual Halloween day. Do you have any plans for the Halloween weekend? Costume parties maybe? Or just sticking around the home place?
See, I said I'd paint my nails for Halloween! Black OPI Crackle Polish over some nice Halloween-y orange! I actually almost didn't get to do this, because when I went to open my crackle polish... the cap was stuck tight. And I mean tight. I spent a good 20 minutes trying to open it, and finally managed to get it unstuck, but I forced so hard that it actually left a mark on my palm that lasted for a good week. I worked for these toes!
I'm making that face at my cat, who's tail-tip is in the very bottom of the photo. He's been a giant suck for attention lately, so I hope he gets his fill tonight. I haven't quite decided how I'm going to sit 6 people in a room with three chairs and an awkward double bed in it yet but I'll figure something out.
I hope you all have a really awesome weekend! Cheers!

I was equal parts intrigued and wary of the crackle polish but it seems to work well on everyone...your efforts to open the bottle were appreciated! (I usually resort to slipping on a rubber glove to open it). And how nice that your grandmother's shoes have been passed down. You're lucky to wear the same size.
GREAT idea about using a brooch on my top...I will remember that!
beautiful print!! love it!!

The fight with the crackle polish bottle was so worth it - your nails look amaze-balls!! I love your yellow cardi so, so much that if I lived near you I would have to "borrow" it and forget to give it back! Your weekend sounds amazing and I am going to brave REC simply on your recommendation. I flicked on to it once while it was halfway through when we had cable and it looked so scary! The Phoenix and I watched all three Paranormal Activity films over two nights this week - we were so glad we had a hand to grip onto. Then yesterday while in the bank, I jumped when the automatic doors opened and shut at the corner of my eye. Silly me! I think having a small room to watch those movies will come in handy - at least there'll be a body to hang onto close by! xoxoxo
I love your toe nail polish- so festive! Sounds like you have a busy Halloween weekend planned! I'm going to 2 costume parties tomorrow night so that should be fun! I love your dress (and that you post outfits on different days than you took the photos- I do that all the time!) Its getting chilly in Ottawa- I'm not ready for it yet!
