Halloween with the Nazgul

We had grapes while watching "From Hell", and mousse au chocolat while watching "Sleepy Hollow"; the DVD player had given up when it saw resistance was futile and played our movies without a hitch, and the ghosts and pumpkins on my fairy lights glowed cutely. What a very cosy Halloween. There was something wrong with the Madeira, though - we drank the bottle and were still sober as bishops. Something made all the alcohol disappear. Perhaps we laughed too much...

Johnny Depp as Ichabod Crane jumping up on a chair and screeching "Hoo!" when he saw the spider was fatally cute and funny, though. The Nazgul observed that Ichabod looked a lot like a young Snape in many scenes, especially when he moved abruptly or was pacing. There was a point to that. She asked me to take screen shots from the DVD before I return it to Falk the Metropolitan; she's got new nefarious ideas already...

All in all a very charming evening, although a drink that actually contained alcohol instead of just pretending would have been a good idea.
