Halloween costumes are too stressful.

My neuroscience professor originally scheduled an exam the day after Halloween. Thanks to all things wonderful in the world, a fire alarm was set off this past Wednesday and she decided to move the test date.

Oh, bloody hell. That means I need to cobble together a costume now. And "in various states of inebriation" isn't an appropriate answer to "What are you going to be for Halloween?"

I thought about doing it up like Bowie like the cover of Aladdin Sane.

Or Bjork in a swan dress.

But my dear friend Kenneth Drake said, "Twrenty dollars says someone asks if you're dressed as Margaret Cho."

Not having that. Luckily, a brilliant costume idea struck me at work yesterday. I've decided I am, indeed, a genius. My friend Adam and I are keeping it a surprise. Pictures to follow.

Happy almost Halloween everyone!

Let the debauchery begin. Party it up at the Cake Shop and swing by the Seward Park Cooperative’s Halloween party/carnival during the day. And pick up that mask - join Joonbug for its Masquerade Ball for free vodka and lots of potential for celebrity sightings.

Cheers.
