Been over a month for me - and I probably should've written my reply on notepad or something before posting; might've been sooner. xP Yeah, haven't watched Phantom of the Opera yet. Wicked was ok, not really the best of musicals, but that might just be a matter of taste. It probably is a reference to Wizard of Oz though: it's basically all of the Grimm Bros fairy tales put together. Red Riding Hood, Jack & the Beanstalk, Rapunzel, Cinderella, among others were incorporated.

I haven't watched AoU or Antman yet. I've been meaning to, but the $20 to get either one on DVD or Blu-ray is a bit much for only 2 hours of entertainment. Probably just going to wait and get a copy online instead. CAPCOM is a Japanese game-system manufacturer I think. They made a lot of the early arcade games, and also had their own lineup of super-heroes, but I don't know a lot about them.

Part of cliché is the formula used in exploring particular scenarios too though: there's always a certain way that most writers view or direct a scenario that turns into a sort of meme in itself, but if it were looked at from a different angle it wouldn't really seem to be cliché, even if it were somewhat similar. For instance, a group of teenagers + a cabin in the woods = horror film. Or at least that's the assumption: maybe the actual answer could be international espionage film. Similar formula, but not the same answer. Or vice versa.

35000 sounds pretty intimidating, but I'm sure you can do it. I haven't done very much writing lately, but I should. =P I know I do have you as a contact on NaNo, assuming my account is still active. I'll have to give it a look and maybe start back up.

You don't much look like an otter either so I understand, lol. I try to post interesting/funny stuff when I come across it, but I spend way too much time on all of that. Keeps me distracted from stuff I should be doing!

For Halloween I actually dressed up as a WWII soldier and wore my costume to work. There were only three other people who dressed up though, and none of them were on the same shift as me. xD It was fun though - it got some smiles from the customers. I suppose at this point it wouldn't be inappropriate to ask, how was your Halloween & Christmas? ^_^
