Uhhhh... speaking of the Navy, out of the #^*&^ blue, the guy at the Naval Recruitment office in Kalispell, who I've spoken with maybe four or five times in my life, just sent me a link to this in an email with the subject: Ha! Ha! Funny!
I'm in the computer lab, so I wasn't able to hear the sound -- I guess I didn't catch all of it. But, uh. It looked pretty depressing, if you ask me. This is supposed to make me *want* to join the navy?!

Speaking of Halloween, and as these sorts of conversations don't come up as neatly and regularly in everyday intercourse as they do in the blogmass, why don't y'all tell us what you've been (and will be) the various Halloweens of your youth? Make a list or scan some photographs, or tell stories about it all. It's my favorite holiday (more than st. patrick's day), and I want a good dose of it. For my part:
When I was six or so, I was a devil named Devilled Eggs.
I think I was Napoleon once, but I can't remember when.
When I was in third grade it was halloween already and I hadn't gotten a costume, and I decided to be a spider, but I didn't have a spider costume, so I said I'd make one, and my mother was more than skeptical, because I'd never been much good at the plastic arts, and she told me off for procrastinating like always, but I took a black shirt and some black rags and wrapped them around some stiff wire and safety-pinned it all together and painted blue eyes on my face, and I was a great damn spider, lemme tell you.
When I was in fourth grade, I was Frankenstein's Fairy Godmother. I had big boots and scars and bolts through my neck and flouncy wings and an orange tutu.
When I was in fifth grade, I was Frieda Krueger. I made my mom buy me a hideously expensive Freddy Krueger latex mask on the promise that I'd use it in my Halloween costume for the next ten years. I put earrings and lipstick and eyeshadow and a wig on it, painted the switchblade glove's nails hot pink, and carried a handbag with a severed hand sticking out of it.
I don't remember Halloween in middle school. I think it was prohibited, along with chewing gum, hats, and galoshes (too unladylike).
No, wait, in eighth grade I do remember going as Barnaby Barnum, the Ghost of the Vampire Pirate (laying it on a bit thick, I know. But I had to make up for the other two years)
One year in High School, I was Tamora from Titus Andronicus. I carried around a chicken pot pie, and everyone asked me what it was for. Hee hee hee.
Another year I was Doctor Who, naturally. But by that time we were too old to go trick and treating for candy, so we got canned food for charity instead. Curses.
Last year I was a Plague Doctor. Neil has pictures. (He was the Queen of the Night.)
That's all I remember. Now you guys tell.

I fell asleep in the bathtub at 8:00 instead of reading Plotinus. When I woke up it the tub was empty and I was really cold. There was no stopper, so I had to use a sponge jammed in the drain, and sponges don't make particularly good stoppers, you know. Now it's midnight. A bunch of the freshmen on my floor have been getting obscene phone calls, so they 'deployed the troops', they told me, when I got up to get a glass of water, and now they're gabbing in the hall and throwing honey nut cheerios at each other. Why can't I sleep? I only got 3 hours of sleep last night... I'm gonna read Stendhal, and then maybe I'll sleep.
