I didn’t post at all this weekend. Why? Because I didn’t feel like it. So there.

Saturday night we had a little Halloween get together that turned into a rather large party! I slept in, and then spent Saturday afternoon cleaning up the house, assembling my costume, etc. Then, people started showing up. We had invited a modest group, but they all brought friends, and soon we had over 30 people in our little apartment. I had bought extra beer, with the hopes that people wouldn’t drink it all, and there would be leftovers for me to have later in the week, well, it basically all got finished.

We invited our neighbors, the ones upstairs, to the side of us, and up and to the side (there are only four apartments in our building). Only the girl up and to the side didn’t come, and its because she had some homework that she had to stay up all night to finish. I was hoping she would come down for a few minutes at least, but oh well. Our upstairs neighbors John and Ian are fun, Ian came dressed as Tiger Woods, and John came dressed as our landlord David. David is a real character, pretty strange fellow, and with a very distinctive outfit. John managed to get the look just right, sort of vacant, with mouth gaping. It was quite uncanny. Our neighbors to the side came too, one came as a pregnant lady (which she is) and the guy came as a happy expectant father (which he is). Not very hilarious costumes, but I’ll forgive them this time. The nice thing about having your neighbors come over, is that you can basically be as loud as you want. So the music bumped, and people laughed and screamed, and it wasn’t a problem. Our apartment is pretty well insulated for sound, fortunately.

My costume this year is “UN Weapons Inspector.” Scroll down a bit for pics of my Hazmat suit, then imagine that suit with a big sign with biohazard symbols and the words “United Nations Weapons Inspection” hanging from my chest. Sweet.

Madalene was a fish tank, complete with little fish, blue cellophane, and fake plants. It was a great costume, except she had a hard time sitting down in it. But you sacrifice a bit in order to have a good costume, don’t you know!

Sunday was spent mostly sleeping. A few people spent the night, but they were all gone when I first got up around 11:30am! I was going to offer them rides home and whatnot, but they had apparently taken the initiative before I had even woken up. So I decided to go back to sleep. Then I got up at 4ish, cleaned the house, watched “The Count of Monte Cristo” and fell back asleep. Just how I like my Sundays.
