For Halloween this year, I went as a cubist painting:
Matt and I independently came up with costume ideas on Friday night and spent Saturday afternoon at my house making them. Pictures of his (awesome) costume should be up on his site soon.
As you can see (more or less, anyway – sorry for the blurry pic), the costume wasn’t really conducive to talking or drinking due to the lack of mouth on the mask. Note that these two activities tend to take center stage at Halloween parties such as the two I attended on Saturday night. So, in fact, I spent much of the time with the mask off carrying on conversations and imbibing. But it was a good concept.
Yesterday, aside from being Halloween, was the end-of-the-season tournament for BUDA Fall Hat League. This marked the end of my frisbee playing for this year, and that’s sad. Our team, Opa!, went 3-1 on the day and had a blast – the weather was unbelievable for October 31st, the ground was prime for laying out, and we definitely came together as a team. Fun stuff.
And the election is tomorrow?! I don’t really want to start making claims about leaving the country if Bush wins, but, all the same, I’d be really unhappy if Bush won. How a man can be so oblivious to reality really boggles my mind.

Looking for lots of reasons to vote Bush out of office? Look no further: list 1 and list number 2. Election day is less than a week away!

Maybe yesterday was the end of the world: the Red Sox won the world series, there was a lunar eclipse last night, and I got a cell phone.
Unfortunately, the only call I’ve made on the new phone was to 911 to report a pretty horrific bicycle vs. taxicab accident I saw last night after the game was over. I’m amazed the biker wasn’t hurt more than he was, as the cab ran a red light and slammed into him at about 20 miles an hour and the biker wasn’t wearing a helmet. Scary shit.

I finally got a chance to put up a few pictures from camping and hiking in September and October – you can see them here. I quite like the jet-trail picture and the one of the pond at Beartown State Forest.
Looks like I’ll pick up my new cell phone from T-Mobile tomorrow morning. Ack!

Sadly, one thing the California trip showed me was that I really ought to get a cell phone again.
Since I got rid of mine a couple years ago, I’ve definitely enjoyed being cell-less, and in fact relish being able to say “I don’t have a cell phone.” Unfortunately, the pro’s now outweigh the con’s, and I’m looking at different plans. Any advice?
