Punk’d

Armed with a can each of pink, purple, and glitter temporary hair color spray, a bottle of black nail polish, and a bag of her own make up, Lauren successfully punked out Serena for Halloween. Well. To the best of our ability anyway. As for the rest of us, we ran out of Halloween spirit since last night. Showing up at a party when you were the only bunch who dressed up would do that to your enthusiasm. After we were done with Serena, we headed back home so Lauren can finish her homework, and we can spoil Mela some...

Happy Halloween!

Pictures from last night festivity. Yes, we did drive all the way to Simi Valley for a Halloween party…which we were the only folks who actually dressed up except for one other and 3 kids. Well, Steve was in costume technically as an HSX Employee, wearing the customized t-shirt from the olden days of HSX. Dan handed me a shot of someone’s homemade honey liquor to warm me up. So off came the coat. Another hour past, and I needed another shot. As I hunted for something to shoot, a party guest asked what I was looking for, “Just looking...

Rarrr!

I LOVE my Hot Topic Bloody Mary fangs! All dressed up as the vampiress at work. Got a compliment from a coworker from Romania that I’d make a good Dracula’s bride. Once again, and as always, I was the only one in costume. Although the Romanian came to work in an orangy bongo-print Hawaiian shirt, uncharacteristic of his usual button downs. He later on showed me the characteristic Romanian fangs…which match his shirt…and made out of candy corns. 🙂 After a few minutes had gone by from my boss at a team meeting, he said, “what, are you going out...

WASHINGTON – A miniature, long-lost relative of modern humans has been discovered, shaking up science’s view of how we evolved on Earth. Scientists, who unearthed her after 18,000 years, nicknamed her “Hobbit,” after the short characters who starred in “Lord of the Rings.” She stood 3 feet tall with a brain the size of a grapefruit. Yet she was smart enough to use tools, boats and probably language, and likely hunted...

Ready for Halloween

Shane picked up his vest last night. And got the pants hemmed. With just the white shirt, pants, and his goatee, I threw on a hat and Shane was an instant Amish. [Photos were accidently deleted. Darn!] Put the vest on, and we could see Sammy Adams emerging. Shane also brought me my long blonde wig for Rikku. We’re going to have some problems putting the hair up in a pony tail because the way the wig is. Shane and I tried a couple of different options last night. We’ll have to see what we would end up doing. Man,...
