My girlfriend wanted a theme thing. At the last minute she suggested going as a Catholic School girl. I went as a Catholic nun…'cause the priests ain’t interested in the ladies. ---

LOL at little yoda. That’s an adorable costume!

Aw, I love the Mickey Mouse and Yoda- too, too friggin’ cute! And now, on to less wholesome things.

I wore my wife’s red knit cap. I used a glue gun and pearls to write “TRAN TRAN” on a white T-shirt in cursive; beneath that, I used coffee beans to write “TRAN TRAN,” again in cursive. I attached a little motor and a light to one of my hiking boots, and I attached batteries to the other boot, and then I used wires and foil to set up a circuit such that when I touched both of the boots together, the motor started to run. Finally, I used styrofoam and tinfoil to create a key sticking out of my butt. I was six different computer terms. How many can you catch? Daniel ---

I had just a shirt with a skeleton on it, not a real costume. No parties to go to, but I felt like doing something. Glad I didn’t do more, because I didn’t see a costumed soul all day. ---

Thought I’d pop in to share the pics of [me and my son](http://a231.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/77/l_a334cddf1499b25c8acbbf7fc114b8be.jpg).

I went low-budget as a mad scientist. Fortunately in my packrattish home stash I was able to muster up labcoat, multiple pocket protectors and wide variety of writing instruments, scientific calculator(belt holster AND pocket version), goggles, gloves, short-sleeve white buttondown shirt with polyestar tie, glasses with clip-on shades, white socks, various types of cables hanging from pockets, belt-clip multi-tool, bad hairstyle, clipboard and graph paper. ---

I went as a student :p. I have a plush scorpion and thought of tying it to my head and going as Serket, but I didn’t think anyone would get it - alas, my class on Egyptian religion falls on Tues/Thurs. ---

I cut off all my hair and shaved for the first time in years for my costume.
