“Death Notes” are a lot cheaper than they used to be

It wasn’t all that long ago that acquiring a Death Note would cost you your soul, and eventually your life. I got mine (with a bonus “L” key fob) for the much lower price of $12.99 Canadian at the Pacific Mall!

My economical Halloween costume, and an even more economical version

I decided to take the easy approach this Hallowe’en and picked up a Star Trek: The Original Series “command” shirt at a shop in Toronto’s Kensington Market.

Baby oil (or hey, cooking oil) and a toy sword. I figure that would cost US$10 at most.
