I'm busy finishing a mid-term due by midnight, but I wanted to send out Happy Halloween wishes to all!


I donned one of my renaissance outfits for daytime wear. I was happy to see a few of my classmates dressed up as well. Lucky I brought my camera along!


I know everyone has already seen my outfit, but I managed to make a few adjustments yesterday which really improved the overall quality. I painted my chest plate red, coloured my arm cannon the proper bluish-green, and added a green tinted visor to my helmet. People thought I was really intimidating, so I guess it worked! Ciao.

I had a lovely time at the party folks. I wasn't going to go because I was too depressed, but circumstance encouraged me to attend. I'm glad I did. I got to test pilot my Samus Aran suit. Thank you for the warm reception despite my botched helmet and incorrectly coloured arm cannon. I'll have you know BOTH of these details have been remedied this afternoon. I will post a photo after tomorrow night's festivities so you can see the changes. I was impressed with a few costumes so I want to give props to (e:Matthew) as Aquaman, (e:Mike) as Gobo from Fraggle Rock, (e:Jill) as Poison Ivy and Jim as The Joker. (e:Flacideness), I didn't even ask if you were portraying anyone specific, but I dig your threads. I do admire great creativity! (e:Metalpeter), glad you could make it. (e:Demartiste), thank you so much for aligning my back and ankles, even if we did scare (e:Josh) a little bit! (e:Springfaery), pleasure to hang with you again, we must do the (e:peepettes) night out SOON. (e:Terry), I can always count on you for a little groping, but (e:Flacidness) is right on your heels! (e:Paul), good job as the bomber, you blended right in with the furniture, I hardly saw you! Forgive me Brother (e:Jason) for it has been 3 weeks since my last confession....

Instead of my usual listing of names I thought I would go with quotes for the evening's photos. Enjoy.

Samus's arm cannon is no match for my Tirdent!


Samus threatened to shock us with her energy beam if we didn't pose with her.


She has no idea I just shorted her self-destruct sequence, hehehe.


Do I have to pull out my squirt gun?


Josh's 'make a wish' come true, a visit from Samus Aran.


Hey, who farted!?


It wasn't me, tee-hee!


Yesssssss, my long hair is a chick magnet.


This week's episode - Cumbersome costumes: The art of drinking shots through straws.


You're really cute Mr. 80's fake tanner boy!


Next on Fraggle Rock, Gobo meets a girl.


She just flashed me, yeah baby.


Like a deer in headlights, this tractor beam thing is too easy!


Mooooooom, they're doing Madonna again!!!


My what a big cannon you have.

• gasping*

I'll handle this folks!


Can you identify this ass grabber?


So, I hear you guys are wanted in Gotham City?
I'm wanted in 4 galaxies. What up!?


Cheezy engagement photos gone wrong, next on Springer.


(Gobo) I'm gonna scratch those skanky hos!
Get off Mr. 80's fake tanner boy!


Golden.


Thank you, and goodnight.

Ciao!

Tonight I went to see Henry Rollins with (e:Theecarey), (e:Jason), and we met up with (e:Metalpeter) in the end. Great to see you out Peter! I had a great time. It's been 10 years since I've seen Henry and my first thought was, 'Damn he's grey!' Nevertheless, he is in as incredible shape as he was back in 95. Yah, I'd call him a hot 44 year old. If you had been there, that line would mean something to you would be laughing right now. Hotness....he and I agree that magazines are nothing but airbrushed bullshit. I have to say though; he did give me a slightly altered perspective on my own personal hotness. He said, every day there is at least one person that stops what they are doing to look at you and they think, damn...she's hot. I'm like, right on brother! Fuck all you posers that actually believe women should look like walking hangers. I'd rather have all this junk in my trunk than no trunk at all.

Henry shared a lot of his travel stories, but there was one part where I feel he sucked a thought right from my brain. I wouldn't have said it any different. He was reflecting on a day when someone asked him if he wanted to visit Pakistan. His response was, he wants to go everywhere he hasn't been, and every time he's looking at a map or flying over another country he can hear "fuck you Henry, that's right, this is Zimbabwe talking, and you ain't been here biatch". Ok, that's not a direct quote, but it's close - and that is exactly how I feel about travel.

Ciao.

Let me quickly recap my far too brief visit to Boston. I drove out on Thursday afternoon. I’m master road tripper so the 8 hour drive was nothing new, a little lonely, but no big deal. I’ve driven from Buffalo to Mexico all by myself. Now that is a lonely drive. So, here are a few photos of my visit.

holy big ass burrito batman!

my favorite, the tobin bridge

me and brian with his skeleton baby and jimmy's head in the corner

me and laura with a kiss from jimmy

jeannine, me, dan, laura and brian - heading out for the night

me and dan at a clever little eatery

this tool actually controls the heat in laura's car - scary

i just like it

my friend had a saltwater tank so i took this for (e:matthew)

next day mark and laura dragged me to a pokemon convention

we waited in this massive line so they could get a secret leaf? i don't know.

timika and mark are no match for super giant pikachu

after waiting in another big line, the technician lost laura's game - can you see the sadness in her pikachu eyes?

i tried to capture some of new england's fine foliage on my drive home

then the weather turned to shit

then my pop exploded all over my crotch making it look like i wet myself

I just played my first full-on game of soccer in 6 years and I’m whipped! Boy howdy! Of course, at the beginning of the day I thought I was playing short-court indoor. As it turns out, it was actually half-field outdoor! Can you say unprepared? It wasn’t freezing out, but it was most certainly chilly, and I brought shorts of course. Next week I’ll know to bring a headband so my ears won’t hurt. The nice part was that we played on super cushy astro-turf; nice-n-easy on the joints! That is, until you have the prime opportunity to even up the score playing forward, get mobbed by 3 guys, and fall on your ass trying to shift your momentum and make the shot. The hips don’t like me so much right now. I stood in the shower an awful long time trying to massage the pain away.
