midnight miscellany

today, i bought green shoes. they're very Fabulous, what with the squared-off pointed toe, the unbelievably high heel, and, of course, the green. i feel so much more sophisticated in Fabulous Shoes as such. especially when no cows were harmed in their making. good times are had by all.

erik is out of town. in las vegas. for a comic convention. over halloween. while at first i was upset that he got dibs on our digicam for the weekend, i'm really looking forward to the pictures of the geeks, and, well, freaks. although if you ask me, a halloween comic convention really blurs the line between the true geeks/freaks who'd dress up anyway, and the people just being seasonally festive. it's a cop-out! i want authentic geeks that dress up for any old comic convention! none of these festive sell-outs!

last night, erik and i stayed up until 2 trying to design a Bruce Banner ID badge. we found some choice UC Berkeley logo-age and a half-glowing green photo of bruce. with the lab coat, test tubes, and green glow sticks, i'd say erik has a pretty good halloween costume. even if he's more on the festive end of the spectrum than the bonafide geek end.

have i mentioned i'm going to be Ann Coulter for halloween?

again, erik is out of town. thus, i cannot sleep. every little noise is some irate intruder coming to get me and/or our CD collection.

tonight, some fabulous friends and i bar hopped for the first time in a good year or so. the bar hop included an espresso bar, and perhaps you can guess who's idea that was.

i still can't believe my goddamned office building didn't burn down.
