A most Excellent weekend :)

There's something very satisfying about bucking a trend and turning up to a Hallowe'en party dressed not as a pirate or a witch (or other things with an excuse to show lots of leg and / or cleavage), but instead as a male Mad Scientist :) Someone, somewhere has photos, but it isn't me. I do, however, have pictures of the results of professoryaffle's baking marathon, including the pink wafer mausoleum and the Ace of Spades cupcake.

I'm not sure what to do with the tie I bought. It's covered in pigs, and is far too sweet to take back to the charity shop from whence it came.

I'm getting too old for more than a small drink. Yesteray was lost mainly to sleep, with occasional intermissions for Veronica Mars and Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service. And, once again, talking to louiselux helped get Yuletide pointed in a potentially successful direction :)

Tired today. Jasper decided to try to tunnel through the back door at 3am, then howl until I went downstairs and told him off.

God, thank you for saying this. I have nothing against such costumes, but it's getting ridiculous. I get annoyed that if I want to dress up as something, most, if not all commercial costumes available to me are "sexy witch, sexy devil, sexy pirate, sexy schoolgirl, sexy alice in wonderland(which i personally find creepy) etc. etc.

I want to go to a halloween party to dress up and have fun: not be t and a.

Having had a look at Laura's pictures, I actually think you look sexier than the "sexy costumes" cos you were having so much fun, and were so comfortable in your skin. I particularly like your parsnip fondling and test-tube smoking!

Heh. I was seriously considering being Nii for Halloween this year, except I'd spend the entire evening explaining why I was carrying around a mildly debauched-looking stuffed bunny.

pink wafer mausoleum

Oooh. That sounds excellent.

Argh, I had forgotten there was another party going on, even in walking distance. Stupid jetlag...

Love the mad scientist costume and yes, the Carrie one is fantastic. :o)
The turnip is disturbing...

Glad you had a great time, though!

And I just remembered Bracken used to do that, except instead of howling she would knock at the cat flap just irregularly enough that you couldn't ignore it and go to sleep.
