Happy Halloween!

Hell yeah! I had a pretty good day off today. I woke up super late, but still managed to go out and get stuff for my Halloween costume. Up until last night I didn't really have an idea of what I was going to be, but I decided to go as Mr. White from Reservoir Dogs. After scouring stores for a little while I was able to find camouflage Berettas at K-Mart. Thank God, because I did not want to have to go into my attic looking for an old toy gun. The Berettas sealed the deal that a character from the Tarantino classic was a good choice. Had I been forced to go in search of a pretty solid looking old Uzi that's up there somewhere, I was just going to go as a bank robber. This hinged on whether or not I could find a cheap monkey mask. Like the rubber band kind preferrably, but I would have gone to a rubber mask if I had to. If I couldn't find a decent looking gun, I would have just gotten a plastic knife and gone as The Monkey Mask Killer.

It was really hard finding realistic looking toy guns in stores. All the guns nowadays are like space guns. It was frustrating because I was looking for street guns. I first went to Toys'r'Us and all they had were NERF guns. Also no monkey masks of any type. Then I went to Spencer's gifts and that was horrible. They had this crappy faux haunting music playing and the mask selection was really lacking. Inside the mall kids were going store to store trick or treating. Inside the mall! That's something new. Thank God for this one young lady at a hairstylist place that was handing out candy as Catwoman.

Anyway, then I went to K-Mart and bought the twin Ruffstuff Electronic Blasters. Ruffstuff is like a hardcore division of BuzzBeeToys. These are great replicas. I bought some flat black Krylon and spraypainted them so they look more real. Now, I've just gotta find a good skinny black tie. That's one thing I noticed looking at pictures of the Reservoir Dogs guys. They had skinny ties.

This party I'm going to on Saturday should be really fun, if I can get there early enough in the night. I hope we don't get decimated on Saturday night because I'd like to be at the party by 11:30 at the latest. Well, I can't wait to see what happens. My boy Ed and I were thinking of going as referees but I couldn't find the shirt. Plus, I went out today really leaning towards a robber or some kind of armed prankster.
Tomorrow night I have to work, but then I'm going to a different Halloween party down the street with a few of the open micrphone guys. There better be chicks at these two parties. So far all the chicks who will be at the party on Saturday including the ones throwing the party are taken. Screw it though, I'm really looking forward to both parties.

Damn, today in my travels I forgot to look for a tape adapter to hook my iPod up in the car. I must get one tomorrow when I go to pay my Old Navy bill.


I think I'm going to listen to this album from now until Sunday afternoon. It's definitely not music that you want to hear all the time, but sometimes it really just hits the spot and this weekend will be such a time.
Here's a link to download the album. I found it on a forum just now after realizing that I had in in seperate files and didn't feel like uploading.
Here are the best tracks. Sure to start your Halloween weekend off right.
Stabbed in the Face (the single!)
Village Oblivia (hands down the best track! Sotoughohmygod!)
Black Vomit (I like this one too)
This album makes your life a horror movie and that's what I really like about it. Try it today, won't you?
