Stop Motion is Delicious!

I found this stop motion video online. It’s a student’s senior project, and it was made with more than 6,000 post-its. It took 3 months of planning and four days to film. Delicious results.

Costumes, Halloween, and Your Mother

Last weekend, my friend had a 90s-themed birthday party, which was completely awesome in every way… especially because I had an excuse to wear my grey onesie and stuff it with a giant pillow. No, I didn’t just wear it as party attire (although now I totally would, cause I was by far the most comfortable person there.) It was a costume party, and I was a beanie baby. I would love to take credit for the costume idea, but my friend suggested it. I just wore my grey pajamas stuffed with a pillow and made a TY tag that I hung from my earring. Oh yeah almost forgot, my tag said that I was “Doogus the Rodent.” Spiffy, right?

One of the best parts of the night was traveling to the party because I was dressed up in all of my gear. I did go with my roommate who was dressed kind of like a backstreet boy, so that made things a little easier, but we still got lots of looks. The best was probably a group of really manly men who walked by and yelled, “what the fuck was that,” to which I replied, “your mother.” On the subway I got a little smirk from this cute japanese girl, so that was pretty exciting. My entire transportation experience got me thinking that I should dress up more often because it’s really fun to weird people out. I mean, people are either really amused or they feel entirely awkward, but either way it’s fun for me.

Which leads me to the fact that halloween is sneaking up. Halloween always kind of takes me by surprise, and by that I mean that I never have time to think of a good costume. I’ve been Mario, bubble wrap, a wizard, etc., but I feel like all my costumes were kind of thrown together last minute. So… PLEASE post any costume ideas here so that either I can steal them or a reader can steal them. I also just really want to hear from someone, so that I know people are reading this. I’m pretty sure people aren’t reading this though… so… great. This is awesome. Um, bye?
