Halloween week

Before I forget, some pictures posted from my phone to Facebook but never here, now here.

zzbear/David left Monday morning. He surprised me by quickly deciding to return Dec. 12th through Jan 17th, so that thread of the story will continue shortly.

Wednesday Paul's ex Mark and his partner Colin arrived for a visit. They used to have access to the apartment above the Twin Peaks bar overlooking Castro and Market, but Mark's company has given it up and so they stayed with us. We had dinner with them a few nights but otherwise they mostly had their own agenda. Paul gave up the master bedroom suite for them and slept in the guest room, which worked okay. They left this morning, returning to 90+ highs in Palm Springs.

We didn't do anything for Halloween: we weren't invited to any parties and so we hadn't worked up costumes. After the gym we had dinner and watched Watchmen until Mark and Colin returned; about an hour into the movie I'm still wondering how the lesser Watchmen got their superhuman strength, or perhaps that's a detail explained only in the source.

Haven't seen the movie, but in the book (comics) Dr. Manhattan was the only superhuman, and everyone else was just highly trained but very human.

Finished the movie last night, and read some reviews. The strength and stamina of the non-super heroes is never explained and is apparently just to be accepted as part of the comic-book atmosphere. It might have been more dramatically effective to have more realistic fights and injuries, but once you get over that dramatic license, the movie was decent. Much unnecessary gore as well.
