Seven days without a post. Sorry kids. Life has been particularly LIFE! as of late.

Not an excuse, don't care.

Things will be back to abnormal shortly.

IN THE MEAN TIME: HALLOWEEN PHOTOS:

On Friday, at work--not Halloween--I still brought a costume:

I carried around that mirror and any time somebody asked me who I was I'd put it in front of my face really quickly and shout "I'M YOU!"

Actually scared a lot of people, on account of most people not being ready for their own face to pop up in front of them.

In that image might be [profile] lovely_thistle and [livejournal.com profile] bookmancu .

Also that day I was [livejournal.com profile] fairyarmadillo :

and [livejournal.com profile] blackcat2086:

For Halloween proper, we went to this:

As always, Lovely Wife Sara made her own nature-themed costume:

Anyway, it's time for a few of you to celebrate, because I don't do this very often.



She was ornamental grass:

I was either a 1950's sitcom character or a misogynist, you make the call:

Please write complaints on a blue Post-It
® Note with red ink and then eat it.

We went to a Halloween art-show / performance thingie with [profile] city_of_dis and [livejournal.com profile] icayrus (who kept hiding behind M-A when I took a photo of them walking because he's a dumbhead with cameras but I still love him. Also, M-A looks like he's walking to Murdertimes.

Marc-Anthony Dan and Sara

We approached as the fire-spinner was winding up their sidewalk act and Matt Fear was apparently about to laser somebody. And yes, that's his real name:

Soon Billy Mays and Alice, RIGHT after falling down that goddamned rabbit hole, showed up:

The "Funhouse" aspect was a bunch of plastic sheeting hung in a vague maze pattern with "scary" objects literally laying around while a strobe-light made my Tourette's freak out and try to make me tip over.

It was still pretty hilarious. And scary! I mean, look at this! I almost shit my pants!

Joe and Bethany were a Mad Scientist and Mayor McCheese's wife:
