Pinhead, eh? I'm afraid you're just too darned loud.

Ok, I no longer work Wednesday nights, so I officially have Halloween off. I thought about different costumes, but, being a poor college student who hates his job and doesn't want to put in more time to buy a costume he's only going to wear to a couple parties, I decided to go with what I have and just buy a few more pieces. I am now going as Indiana Jones. I have the fedora and a cheap brown pleather jacket, and of course khakis, so the costume won't be authentic, but it'll have to do. I went to JcPenny and got a khaki shirt, and then to Target to get a cap gun (actually I got two, but they came together. I'll only wear one). I haven't tried everything on together, but I'm sure it'll look fine.

Okay, I don't know what happened, but I swear I posted this a week or two ago, but now I don't see it. Anyway, this was my Marty McFly costume from last Halloween, which I had originally put together for last year's San Diego ComiCon.
This year I'm thinking I might be Indiana Jones. I've got an official Fedora, a leather jacket (though not quite the same style), a similar bag, I think my dad has some shoes I could use, and a pair of tan-ish pants. All I really need to do is find a whip somewhere. Spirit just had this cheap-looking one in the western section. Won't look 100% screen accurate, but close enough, and these days I don't like spending a lot of money on costume supplies.

Oh my gosh! The Worst Witch! I haven't thought about that movie in AGES. Tim Curry's great in everything. Oddly enough, I prefer Shock Treatment over Rocky Horror.

That's awesome. I don't think I've ever seen a Mcfly costume. You even got an old school skateboard! The watch, too. Good job!

All I had to buy wear the shoes (custom-made through Nike for $90), the vest, the semi-checkered shirt (which took me weeks to find), and the watch. Casio still makes the same model watch Marty wears in the film. And the skateboard I've had for probably twenty years. The same model as Marty's shows up on eBay from time to time, but I've never been able to grab one.

Oh cool! If I had a Delorian, I'd drive it around, though. You could be in parades with that car! That Marty McFly outfit is great, too.
I'll probably decide on Monday what I'll be this year. If I'm feeling ambitious, I'll be Marion (Basket Chase outfit). I have the patterns and the fabric, but I'm not a great sew-er so it'll be work. Otherwise I'll be the green Jedi again.

I am so jealous. I've always wanted a Delorean thanks to BACK TO THE FUTURE, and I still hope to buy one someday. When I was little, someone a couple blocks away from our house had one that was always parked infront of their house, and I used to walk over there all the time to see it. One time when they weren't home, I stopped really quick to pose next to it while my mom took a picture.

Well, just so you know- the reason you most likely saw a Deloreon parked was due to it often breaking down, the expense of parts (in part, due to the creator's infamous dealings-look him up sometime), and because (car lovers will back me up on this) it was probably one of the worst cars ever made. Although, I agree it looked cool.

Ugh...I'm going to a Halloween party this Saturday, and I thought I'd get my friends together before the party to carve a pumpkin, decide who was going to be DD, etc. But now I just found out that our Homecoming Game is at 8:00 that night. I can move the whole-pumpkin thing up a night, but that means that if I want to go to the party, I have to miss the game, and most of my friends are die-hard football fans, so they won't miss it for a party. I can't really do both, since the game would probably get out around midnight, putting us at the party at around one...this sucks.
Sorry, had to vent. I'll post pictures though this weekend (hopefully), depending on what I do.

Oh, the car that was near our house certainly worked. I often saw the home owner driving it around and stuff. So it definitely was "just parked" because it didn't run or anything. Last time I saw a Delorean driving around was up in the Hollywood Hills in 2003, so I know they're still around. Was just watching "80s Tech" on History Channel's MODERN MARVELS a week ago, and they showed how the new Delorean Motor Company and rebuild old ones and even build brand new ones from existing parts that run great. Too bad I'll probably never be able to afford one, though.
