This is me... right... NOW.
My girls and I make it a point to wear really unflattering and/or goofy costumes during Halloween in order to balance out all the women that make that day an excuse to dress like hookers. "Hey look at my sexy firefighter/garbage man/podiatrist costume guys!!"
Yeah, eff that noise.
So in our great tradition we've already decided what we will rock this Halloween. Presenting... Mom Jeans:
For reference, previous Halloween costumes. Yes, we totally wore fleece suits in the club last year.
Win: DJ Apollo throwing "Crank That" on at the Halloween party I was at Friday night. Successfully Cranked That with a Swedish Maid, one of the security guards and a Demon Lord. Anne Marie and I partied till the breaka-breaka-dawn and even lived it up like we were still in our early-20s by wolfing down Jack in a Crack at 5am. I, uh, actually still feel kinda gross about that.
Fail: Unsuccessfully dodging a metal thing that slid out of the truck in front of me on 80 while on my way to YCon yesterday afternoon. Result? Two, count 'em, two blown tires on the driver side. Since the tire size I use aren't generally in stock at Costco they have to be specially ordered so I'm carless till Thursday or Friday. Fresh.
From now until Halloween, I'm going to practice Soulja Boy Tellem's moves so that when I go to a Halloween party on the 27th I will be fully ready to Crank That all night while in my dinosaur kigurumi*. I figure it will look way better than me trying to Pop, Lock & Drop It or 2 Step... I mean, obviously dinosaur = Crank That.
Oh? You're not familiar with this phenomenon? Allow me to YouTube illustrate it!

Then, the instructional video showing you exactly how to Crank That: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLGLum5SyKQ
And, finally, a college football team doing it on the sidelines before one of their games:
How much do I love that dances have names again? (Hi Robocop, Wop, Running Man, Roger Rabbit!) Too much, I think, too much.
*I'm wearing that to work on Halloween. How freakin' dope will my BART ride be that day? Extremely super fantastic dope.
Almost 2pm and I'm sitting in my PJs at my desk... at home. I've spent my Halloween doing a lot of different things, partying it up with thousands of people at a massive rave, battling the crowds at the Castro in SF, trick-or-treating past the years I should've been, etc. but I've never spent it sick.
...
Oooh, I just coughed up slimey yellow stuff! Trick or mothereffin' treat to that!
I always tell people that Halloween is my favorite non-holiday-that-should-be-a-holiday. (Seriously, if we had Halloween off from work imagine how awesome it would be?) So, I'm a little sad that I couldn't be one of the dorks running around the office in full costume while trying to have conversations with the execs about marketing material. Ah well, there's always next year!
Happy Halloween, everyone!
Maybe one of these days I'll get back to writing about my weekends rather than bombarding y'all with pictures. But, today is not one of those days! So, let's begin with What I Did Over the Weekend in Pictures:
1) Caught a short performance of Imitation PoPs Uchuu Sentai NOIZ at Pacific Media Expo. Half the fun of the show was seeing their (hardcore) Japanese fans mosh the eff out in front of the stage. Whereas seeing 6' tall White guys at Rock shows mosh is a little scary (especially if you're shorter than them), seeing 5' tall Japanese girls do it = GOOD TIMES. I was totally wearing the wrong shoes, otherwise I would've gotten into that action with them! NOIZ was totally entertaining, even if PMX's sound was a little wonky during their set. I ended up buying their album, EGO-style, even though I told myself I wasn't going to. Weak, I tell you, I'm weak.
2) Attended the Volks Halloween Tea Party event as aimee's guest at a swankety swank honest-to-goodness mansion in Palos Verdes. Surrounded by expensive resin dolls, I seriously considered trying to buy one for a good minute before I remembered how much I really wanted a Vivienne Westwood purse. So, instead of spending money, I took lots of pictures. The endorphin rush doesn't last as long as the whole buying thing, but my bank account is sure as hell happier. The entire Volks staff dressed up for the occasion and I can now honestly say I have a new fetish: Japanese guys in maid outfits. HOLLER! Yeah, I'm weird, I know.
