The Occasional Solipsist

Ah, shift work. I'm off for a few days, so I am getting myself trained to nights again and here I am up late with no one for company but Radiohead and the folks from Attack of the Show. And that is just fine with me.

I am going to get to take Trin out for Halloween with Superwife tomorrow, and I'm very happy about that. She has at least four costumes to date, and we are letting her decide which one she wants to go out with. She's got a pumpkin, lion, ladybug and princess so far. She may end up wearing all of them before the night is over, and that is okay with me too.

In keeping with the spirit of Halloween, Superwife and I watched The Shining tonight, and it was just as good as the last time I saw it. It is so much fun knowing that Jack is crazy pretty much the whole time they're at the hotel. Like going back and watching The Sixth Sense to watch all the little clues that were there had you just looked for them the first time. The look on Jack's face when he's freaking out on Wendy for interrupting his writing always makes me laugh. 'All work and no play' indeed.

Anyway, I remembered this awesome spoof of The Shining that I had come across (and posted about on this blog) years ago and just had to share it again. Single best use of a Peter Gabriel song ever. Enjoy.

Happy Halloween.
