Halloween at Work: Costume #2

For work today I dressed up as my Emo Co-worker in the Design deptarment, AJ. He dresses like this every day. His hat has the DW logo on it which I recreated to read AJ. And...I won first prize for funniest costume! Thanks AJ.

Yes, I dressed as a man twice this year without experiencing any gender confusion. No worries.

Two Chord Songs Are My Favorite

In Flight

This year we combined our Halloween party and Open Mic Night. We very appropriately dressed up as Brett, Jemaine, Murray, Leggy Blonde, and Mel from the HBO series, Flight of The Conchords.

We played the two-chord intro to the episode until it stopped being funny...which didn't take long. Then we just sang some Mollies songs dressed like men...and woman. It was a good time.

Murray, Bret and Jemaine...all present

Only in Vegas

Last weekend I took a quick trip to Vegas to see Mates of State. Good show. Dainon and I were there for a total of 12 hours...which is the perfect amount of time in my opinion. Spending more than a half hour on the strip can make you a little bit physically ill. 

It was a marathon trip...exhausting...but nice. As a result, on the 5 am drive home, I fell asleep in an awkward, mouth-open, car-sleeping position and was soon dreaming...

We were still in Vegas perusing through the casino mall when we happened upon a kiosk advertising Body Replacements. Turns out, for a small price...you can be decapitated and have your head placed on an entirely new body. There was a crowd assembled to watch the modification process, which believe it or not, proved to be disturbing. Especially when a full-faced elderly woman opted to have her wrinkled, toothless, old-lady head welded onto a cryogenically frozen Playboy Bunny body.

(Sigh)...only in Vegas.

Jennifer Rose: Even Better Than the Real Thing

Last March, the Windsor ladies and I discussed adopting a fish for my birthday. We even had her name picked out: Jennifer Rose. After a bit of research, it became a bit too complicated and the idea was pushed aside. I was disappointed at our foiled attempt. We simply wanted an orange goldfish in a traditional goldfish bowl. This is now considered unethical in the fish world...apparently aquariums should be used for all fish except bettas...but alas, bettas aren't orange.

One day I had an epiphany. Kathy, my talented artist sister, made a bird mobile out of sculpted felt. Why not a fish? I  promptly commissioned her to make me a little orange friend. When he was finished, (Kathy says it's a male fish but his name was already Jennifer Rose and I think he's ok with that) I bought a fish bowl and some pretty rocks, and hung him from the ceiling by a string of fishing line. When the wind blows from the open window....he swims. How delightful. Check out Kathy's Etsy shop here: Leaves on Trees.
