Hallowesome

Well, today is Hallowe'en, and last night I went to Beth's Hallowe'en party. I managed to get my costume made and working perfectly, and I was very impressed with how I turned out, and I was even more impressed with how Emma turned out. She had the same costume as me, but had the hair perfectly done. We were both amazing Starfleet Science Officers, I was the rank of Commander, she was a Lieutenant. And I haven't had a costume this good since I was a headless man. Though last year's droog was pretty neat. Natasha had a great red wig with horns, and she wore her usual slut outfit. For Hallowe'en. Not that she usually dresses like a slut. She doesn't.

Set Phasers to Fun

Beth's party was great, she had a wonderful collection of music from the last 20 years, and Spaceman and It's Like That were the favourite songs. I haven't danced with Emma that much for months. Dan also burnt the Mylo CD and that was on repeat for a while, which is good because it's an amazing album. Dan managed to spill almost every drink he had, as well as other people's drinks. I noted that you know Dan's been to a party when the floor has a blood-alcohol level. There was one guy, who had really bleached blonde hair, who latched himself onto pretty much every girl he could see, and I think he was pretty offended when Emma didn't reciprocate his advances. After seeing him try to pull Anna up to dance for a while, I found one of the spare witch brooms which was lying around, and I stuck a note on it, stating "BEAT AWAY THE BLONDE GUY WITH THIS", which most people seemed to find funny. He didn't. And he went on to attack Emma for it for 20 minutes or so. He also argued with Mike for what seemed like ages. Not many people liked him it seemed, despite him claiming that they were all his best friends. My follow up note, "BLONDE GUY NOT WELCOME" was removed from the door, despite being Beth-approved. But he did generate a lot of chuckles, even if Dan wasn't around to see them.

I have more and more work due, and it's mounting up. I had an extra long modeling session in 3D Animation today, with Boolean Compounds causing me immense frustration. I will work on those more, probably tonight. The cars are coming through quite nicely. I wore my Starfleet Uniform to University today, and it was great. The looks and stares were worth it for the fact that Dan and I were walking around University in a pirate costume and a Star Trek Uniform. I should have dressed as a ninja and jumped into the 3D Animation class and started fighting him.

We saw the Descent, which is genuinely scary, and I haven't jumped that much since I was very young. Or seeing The Ring. But as Beth pointed out, there is an amazingly frightening part just after half way. I did enjoy it. The Grudge was also good, better than the American version. We're watching the Japanese Grudge 2 tonight, and Halloween (the old film). Should be fun if we get around to it.
