Ciaran’s Omnipurpose Blog

You may know that Dinah always throws awesome parties. This year, her birthday party was held in Knutsford, Cheshire and held jointly with her friend Caz. The theme was "Under the Sea", so I was forced to unleash my inner pirate.

Photos of the event are all over Facebook, but will be posted on this blog shortly.

It's astonishing how a costume can make you enter your character. I was "Yarr'ing" and Shivering me timbers for all it was worth - barfing up bits of lung and vocal chord the next day. It reminds me of a story I read about actors in Lord of the Rings or a similar movie, who actually started to unconsciously segregate themselves according to whether they were Orcs or Elves. Very odd.
