The Fifth Annual
Wednesday, October 31
Here's the invite I made for this year. This is the second year I photoshoped invites, this year I went with a "Grindhouse" feel.

Halloween 2007
Eh, I was hoping to have a nice gallery made up for this year, not to mention the huge back stock of pictures I have waiting to be posted online. But alas, I'm just not smart enough (nor do I have the patience to figure out) how to do it. Plus I just can't find a site online which will suit my hosting needs. So, here are a few random "highlights" i picked out of some 175 pics. Enjoy!
Mary Catherine Gallagher... aka Superstar
Put me in Coach. I know there's a lot riding on it, but it's all psychological.
Party On!
Some Devilish family of sorts.
Just too cutesy.
How come the banana gets the girls... wait, oh... OH!
Summer's "Dream" Guy. HA, I kill me.
The Spider-man cheer squad.
And these two... sorry, no quip here. Low on the funny.
Above is a nice mix of folk who came. There were a bunch of others who made it, and a handful that didn't. For everything else that I missed; there were a few people who enjoyed looking over my front porch, staring at the ground, and making a mess. A total of five cop cars all showing up outside my house to apparently arrest some dude next door. A gazillion (yes, that many) Jello shots taken, and everybody singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" like we were at a rock concert.
All in all it was a fun year, ranking right up there at the top. We'll see what the next year holds for Halloween Party VI!
The Rest of My Week Will Be Spent...
Saturday, October 27
... playing Guitar Hero III, which will arrive in stores tomorrow. So if I don't like, see or talk to you in the next week, know that I have a terrible, terrible addiction.... and must be helped.But so help me if you try to take away my controller I will hack your arm off.
Have a good week!

LOOK! I'm in a Costume Contest!
Thursday, October 25
Or at least I entered one. Cause... I didn't make it as a finalist. However, I think I could have done better than Slacker Green Lantern.
I sent in five pictures, one more above what they were asking. Had I known they would have allowed a collage, like the Wonder Woman one, then I would have made my OWN collage. Fheh.
Check them all out (and ME) at Major Spoilers Costume Contest.

Maher Boots Protester From Audience
Saturday, October 20
MSN - Maher on Friday night helped security remove a rowdy protester from the studio during his weekly HBO show "Real Time with Bill Maher," and it was all captured on live television.
Maher was talking science during one of his weekly panel discussions when a protester in his audience stood up, held up a smuggled-in sign reading "9/11 is a cover up fraud" and shouted comments to the same effect.
The host tried to shout down the audience member, who only became more agitated.
"Do we have some (expletive) security in this building," Maher yelled, "or do I have to come down there and kick his (expletive)?"
When security reached the man's aisle and the man resisted leaving, Maher ran into the seats and helped them push him out the door, shouting "Out! Out! Out!"
Several other protesters, sprinkled throughout the audience, then stood up and shouted.
"This isn't the Iowa Caucus, OK, we're not here to debate," Maher shouted with most of his audience cheering him on. "This is the problem with live television."
The incident was shown live on the East Coast, and the network appeared to show the entire affair unedited for the taped-delayed West Coast version.
After the instigators were ejected, Maher told his panelists — MSNBC's Chris Matthews, Los Angeles Times columnist Joel Stein and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson — that they often linger outside his studio to share 9/11 conspiracy theories with him and try to get into the show.
"It's the only time I defend Bush," he said.

Guitar Hero - Outcome
I recently competed in a local Guitar Hero II contest. Long story short: I tied for fourth place, where really... there was no "fourth place", but it makes me feel better. I did however NOT get betten by a "young'n", which was what I was hoping to avoid at all costs.I crushed by my first round and did alright in my second round. Those two rounds cleared out all the scrubs. I could have done a lot better on my third round to which I was eliminated. I kinda choked, cause I was missing some easy stuff and with a crowd around I wasn't focusing. At least I know I could have taken the kid who ended up in third, but that first place winner was good.
I didn't think the bonus songs of the game would be used for competition, so I didn't bother practicing any of them. Turns out that they were used, and the last two songs I played were bonus songs. So that sucked for me.
I had fun though, and for those I talked to and made it to the final round were friendly. The guy who won, Jake, I found out will be starting at K-mart shortly, so I'll be able to harass him in the future.After the crowd cleared I ended up playing Free Bird on the set-up at Blockbuster. It made me feel better. I knew I wasn't going to win... I'm not that good. I'm just too damn competitive... plus I really wanted a free copy of Guitar Hero III. Oh well, I'll be getting it on the 28th here shortly. Rock on!

Sunday Night's Alright For Cookies
Monday, October 15
During a recent impromptu gathering of "the couples", we found ourselves a house divided. The guys were in the living room watching Transformers while the ladies decided the night was perfect for baking oatmeal raisin cookies. Which was fine for me, one; because I enjoy the tasty treat and two; it was something to snack on during the rest of the film.Thanks to the girls for cooking.

Vacation Update - Day Three
Thursday, October 4
Really the first day we went out and did something. Today I went to Pearl Harbor to check out the Arizona Memorial, the U.S.S. Missorri, and a submarine. All cool stuff, plenty of pictures. That took up the majority of the day, but we managed to finish off the day with dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe.
