because I can't wait until Halloween to look like a jackhole

If anybody cares, here are a few pictures of the current status of my Doctor Who costume. I still need to find a decent vest and wig, but I'm almost there. At this point, I look kind of like the Eighth Doctor in a Fourth Doctor costume.

I used to love Halloween so much that I eventually kept my apartment decorated for Halloween all year long. Somewhere in there I burned out on it, and I didn't get into Halloween for a couple of years or so. Then last year, I started to feel it again at the last minute and bought a Space Ghost costume. I wore it to work but removed it (and changed into other clothes, of course) after almost getting killed because of it like five minutes later. Makes one wonder how superheroes pull it off when their vision's so bad if they're wearing hoods. And how do they keep from tripping over their capes? But anyway, here's my costume thus far.

drugs and their vocal canine objectors

Does anyone else find it ironic that a PSA that just aired depicted a dog verbally requesting that his owner, a young marijuana-afflicted lass named Lindsay (okay, that's ironic too), cut out the drugs? Talking dogs (and that's live action talking dogs, not cartoony ones)? Drugs? What's the message? Weed makes one believe the dog is talking? Or is the ad just trying to be cute? Like, even your dog wants you to knock off your drug using ways? TV's stupid.

Anyway. Time for go to bed.

grrr...

<>Smegging Photobucket. They're apparently allowing little banner ads to float right over the "submit" button where you need to click to upload new pictures from your hard drive. What's next, injecting advertising straight into my eyeballs with a needle?

fair

My girlfriend unit and I went to the fair today and saw lots of goats, sheep, chickens, and fancy bunnies. We also ran across some kind of toilet art craft fair, which, given my juvenile sense of humor, I of course found interesting. Some of my favourites:







On the way home, we made some stops and not only found some vital components for my Doctor Who costume, but we also found a reissued Mego Captain Kirk figure, so that void no longer exists in my collection. And, being a Mego, his shirt can be removed, of course, so that he can properly harass all those female figures on my shelves.

miscellany

This is a lot of random nonsense, but whatever.

*I admit to feeling a little dirty for coincidentally having the TV on the SciFi Channel every Wednesday night when Stan Lee's series Who Wants To Be A Super Hero? happens to be on, but this week, I saw the show sink to a new low when it very literally turned into an Esurance advertisement.

*The other night I had the dumbest dream ever. I dreamed Mickey the Idiot from Doctor Who was brushing his teeth. He brushed them one at a time, and each tooth folded outwards a bit as he brushed it. He folded each tooth back inwards as he finished brushing it. Gross stuff.

*I can't even seem to sit still for the second episode of SciFi's new Flash Gordon series.

And here are some tasteless pictures my friend Lizzy found on eatliver.com:
