Halloween (with pictures)

So, this is my official post about Halloween this year. To start off my Halloween weekend, on Friday, I put on a lab coat and went into Beckman Institute to be part of an experiment. I was mistaken for a real life biologist. Then, wearing the same coat, I went to my Russian and Eastern European Science Fiction class. No one mentioned it at all. That was no fun. When I got home, I took off the coat and started working on my real costume. I had been working on it for a while now, but not necessarily as diligently as I should have. After a couple hours and various advertising related activities later, I realized I would not be able to wear my costume to the various parties planned for that night, because it would not be finished. So, I scrambled for a secondary costume. After borrowing a pair of pants, I had find my costume. It was Snake Pliskin from Escape from New York.

Some people recognized it at the parties, which was good. The parties themselves were okay, with people randomly bursting out into songs from Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and even the theme song for the Huntsman from Animaniacs. I do not remember the words to any of those songs, though. I felt a bit lame. Anyway, after that was done, I decided that I was going to stay up all night finishing my costume. So, into the living room I went to paint and glue and cut and marathon Buffy the Vampire Slayer, not because it was Halloween, but because I have been trying to finish the series all semester. Finally, about an hour before the party was to begin on actual Halloween, I finished my costume. I was the Lizard from Spider-man.

I was quite pleased with the final result of the costume, and was hopeful about my chances of winning the costume contest that was planned for that evening. I got third place however. Some jerks had to go and do things like this:
