This Halloween was a damn good one for me. I usually can't think of anything I want to be, so I settle for something stupid, like putting pantyhose on my head. This year, my costume worked cause everybody knew who I was, except for the TNT strapped to me which confused some.

So, to summarize this weekend:
Saturday, I went to the East Bay for some parties, one which had a kereoke machine that featured early nineties playboy bunnies dancing to the music. The other party was full of Berkeley students, who mostly picked their outfits to show off their bodies(which is no fun at all). I got so completely drunk that night that I passed out and woke up in the back of someones car. I flipped out somehow thinking that I had been kidnapped calling my friends in a panic. Luckily, it was some friends of mine that were gonna take me home.

Sunday, after getting home a 5a.m. I had to wake up at nine to go to work. I think I worked the whole shift pretty damn drunk and somehow managed to avoid a hangover. After work, it was straight to the Castro to show off our costumes to everyone there. Our friend Ricky (Kim Jong Il) stole the show that night. He kept running around yelling at people " Hans Brix, youre breaking my barls!". That Night I also yelled "Fuck yeah!" more times that I have in my whole life. I also got to see the legendary pink man.

Finally after getting home around one or so, one of my roomates' stripper friends shows up at our door crying uncontrolably repeating "My husband just beat me and threw me down some stairs!". After a good ten minutes of that she ran out of our house screaming " I'm gonna fucking kill him!". Next morning I found out that indeed she had gone home, grabbed a kitchen knife, and repeatedly stabbed her husband. She is now in Jail.

What a great weekend.

So this year my favorite costumes were: Two girls that painted themselves completely black to look like the ipod ads, two people dressed as Bunsen and Beaker from the muppets, a girl dressed as a pea pod, Tipi Hedren from "The Birds", and of course us.

Where in the World Should Myriam Go for Thanksgiving?

So, my mom decided not to come stay with me during Thanksgiving after all, on the grounds that it will be freezing in Boston and nobody in their right mind would choose to leave Southern California to come here during November. After all, weren't those pilgrims celebrating their narrow escape from becoming frozen timberwolf treats?

So. I would like to go somewhere for Thanksgiving, but I can't spend more than a couple hundred bucks, including airfare. I would love to actually partake in a Thanksgiving dinner, if possible, which takes Montreal out of the running. Suggestions are best considered if they come with some place I can stay for free, because I am cheap.

Is this the time to finally check out the South? Or the Heartland? Maybe Philly?

Expansive vistas are appreciated. I am tired of slices of sky glimpsed between buildings.

Team Awesome, the DJ posse I'm in, will be playing before and after ASOBI SEKSU, a very cool NYC post-my bloody valentine type group, tonight at the Red Star in Baton Rouge.
come one come all!
