A small group of us from work and our respective friends attended a huge 1000+ people costume ball held at a downtown Philly hotel Friday night. I attended as Batman. I have a brief history of the suit posted on my Halloween 1999 page. When I first got it I was about 135 lbs. Yeah, I know. Shhh. I'm talkin' here. I was 185 lbs. earlier this year when I was last Batman. On Friday I was 150 lbs. and the suit fit like a freakin' glove. I experimented by wearing a perspiration-wicking UnderArmor spandex body suit and didn't break a sweat once. Nice. My friends (now that I'm done talking about myself) came as Star Trek Classic Series Vulcan Science Officer Girl, Angel Girl, Devil Girl, Naughty Girl, Caveman Guy, and Bruce Lee Karate Guy. There was one other Batman in attendance: Old School Batman. Dude was dressed in white tights with the 60's style black bat symbol on the chest. He was also quite tall. I don't think Batman works as well if you're over 6 foot 5. I've been face to face with two guys who've played Batman. George Clooney at the premieres for Perfect Storm and Three Kings. Val Kilmer at the Red Dragon premiere last year while he was channeling John Holmes for Wonderland (he was filming it in NY at the time). Both guys are my height so unless I meet Michael Keaton and this pattern drastically changes my view, I'm going to stick with the fact that Batman works best at my height. Yeah, yeah, I know, Batman isn't real. Thanks for ruining it for me. At least I still have Santa.

Saturday was kind of a wash. I am still recovering data from my dead older machine. I can resuscitate it for brief periods and grab as much crap as I can. I'm aware that I can pull the drives out and mount them on the new machine, but there's a lot of fun in trying to bring back the dead. I did take Chew to Petsmart for the Top Dog Wash. I saw ''Scary Movie 3'' while that was going on. It was tolerably funny. I laughed consistently until some jerk one row behind me answered his phone during the movie. Him answering the phone wasn't what made me mad. This fool talked for NINE f***ING MINUTES. Nine. Yes, kids, that's right. Couldn't believe it. I think he was picking out colors for a sofa with someone on the phone. Insane! I was about to go grab a manager when this tool finally figured out he was pissing off everyone in the theater. They didn't play that ''Inconsiderate Cell Phone Guy'' commercial during the trailers. Maybe that was partly to blame for his indiscretion. I'll bet Sue's to blame. Hmmph. If this happens again on Wednesday when ''Matrix Revolutions'' comes out, someone's getting bitch slapped.
