While shopping for my annual chistmas costume this year, I was amazed at just how much Christmas stuff was available. Target had like 3 isles worth and most of the Wegmans middle section, despite it not even being Halloween or Thanksgiving yet.

I was kind of excited with all the options but then along the way we stopped at amvets where I saw a rainbow cloud skirt for $1.99

I just couldn't say no to being Daddy Brite, Rainbow Brite's Father.

I think the costume worked out well and despite appearing revealing I was actuallly wearing more than most years as I had to wear briefs underneith.

There are a bunch more pics from the party on @metalpeter, 55402

I headed over to UN South campus with e:samathon1986, @enknot and @terry and my coworker Steve.

We arrived late so they were just about packing up by the time we got there. The sound of indian music made me so hungry. I guess its a conditioned response to it most often being associated with a buffet environment.

Unfortunately, all of the Indian places were closed. In fact just about every restaurant was closed. In the end we went to hardware where I had a great Malbec/SYrah and some delicious pork.

@terry had to ditch out warcraft through for a Warcraft raid. The rest of us went to Roxys yo watch Sammeer and Tony sing kerioke.

Today we went to the Connecticut Street Sandwich Shop for lunch. It was amazing and very priceworthy. I got a hamburger with cheese, mushrooms and Bacon and a salad with an egg. I will definately go back. They take every kind of card via an iPhone and it emails you the receipt.

add meatballs and corn meal fried catfish nuggets.

We toured the new food market that will be opening in in the old horsefeathers location.

I was excited to see a stand for Coppa. I find thin slices of salted meat so delicious but I don't eat much of them because I generally avoid nitrates. Its one of the reasons I love procuitto because its just cured with salt.

Should I just grow a full beard? I never let the sides and bottom grow in for fear of looking homeless but I am so curious how it would look. I think the best approach might be to shave short and let it all grow out together.

We made our annual trip to the giant pumpkin farm. This year Cindy came with us. @terry got a great picture of us crunched in the back. This years pumpkin weighs less as I carried it up the stairs alone. Last years was full of water, which made it heavier and ultimately lead to its early demise as it fitted from the inside.

To add to my collection of Berry plants, I bought a black current bush at the pumpkin farm for $4.99. I love currents and you barely see them at the market.

Also, although the loufa plant finally blossomed. I don't think its going to make it :(

pokes through the dark overcast sky.

Yuck. Seriously, how did these nasty tomatoes make it out if the kitchen.
