Most intriguing...

When I opened my Media Player to listen to the dialogue track from the scene I'm currently working on, I was greeted by this:

Windows Media Player ad

When I clicked 'More coverage' it took me to the front page of the NPR website. While I appreciate the plug, it didn't answer why M&C actually made it into some sort of advertising campaign, especially for Lion's Gate, which I'm pretty sure had absolutely nothing to do with the film.

Hm ... all three of those movies have swords in them. Maybe that is a Clue.

Curiouser and curiouser...

The number of people who will recognise my Halloween costume at work has risen to TWO.

The number of people who will not even realise I'm dressed up is still hovering around 30.

Such is life... such is the addiction to fiction.

So you are going as a Discworld character, huh? Am I allowed to throw out a guess? You are going as Angua in her werewolf state.

Um ... that would involve actually being a wolf ... kind of tricky.

Wolfsuit? With whatever accessories Angua has. I only know her from your drawings.

From reading your LJ I've got a distinct impression that you're not particularily girlish (as in *squee* *LOLZ*) so the character you'd go as would have to be somebody with a bit of a spine.

Just about any Pratchett female has plenty of spine, really...

Angua isn't a super-hairy-biped kind of werewolf. She actually turns into a wolf. I'm too much of a stickler for that sort of thing to compromise with a wolf suit. Of course, I'm not going to go so far as to take up smoking for Halloween... it's a bit of a fine line, really.
