Halloween Party
Thursday, October 12th, 2006 | LiveJournal Archives | 4 Comments
Well, I’ve been told in no uncertain terms that I will be hosting a Halloween Get Together (not so much a party, that would sound like a lot of work).
Heather and I talked it over and we’re going to go with a Joss Whedon Halloween. We have not finalized the exact time or date, but I assume it will most likely be held Oct 29th.
So start figuring out what Joss Whedon character you want to dress up as. Of course, we would prefer Buffy/Angel, but we’d take Firefly if you can really sell it. 😉
And of course, if you want to contribute, I’m not too proud to take a handout.

My next house is going to be one of these:

I think heather will have to get her own, there’s not that much room in there, but apparently we can lash them together for a little condo type place.

Well, I didn’t get to drive on the beach like I had hoped, but by the time I thought I’d get around to it, the tide was too high and I could have gotten trapped. As of 9 minutes ago, the beach is off limits for vehicles, so I’m out of luck. I’ll have to try again some other time.
Heather and I went for a nice walk this morning, taking pictures and collecting shells, then this afternoon we frolicked in the water, getting tossed around by pretty stout waves and just having a pretty darn good time. I’m glad we came, staying at the beach house for the weekend is making all the trials and tribulations of family totally worth it.
I’m slowly getting my reading done, at the pace I’m going, I’ll still get it all read by monday when I have to write the paper, so I think we’ll all be okay on that front. I really have to start putting the research projects into overdrive once I get back home, though. One research project is going to be on the question “What is the essence of photography, and how does it apply to digital media?” I think the other one may be on the question of “how do think creatively and seek out inspiration and imagination.” I’m not so sure about the second one, but I feel like its something I NEED to research.
Anyway, we’ve played a lot of Fluxx and Ziggity this weekend so far, they seem to be pretty popular games, at least with the teens, with whom heather and I always seem to associate with more on these family trips.
Anyway, off to read some more journals and stuff.

well, it was a 5 and a half hour drive down to galveston. wasn’t too bad except the last hour or so when we hit houston in rush hour traffic.
anyway, there’s a bunch of really nice folks here who I’ve never met, but were all willing to sit down and play some Fluxx with us. now its late and we’re trying to get my dad’s computer up and running, but it keeps locking up when he puts the wireless card in. we’re going to have to find out how to remove the driver and reinstall it safely.
I guess i’m tired. I dunno.
Wow

best season premiere EVER! The first five minutes had me hooked for yet another season.
on another note… I actually wish I could take advantage of this weekend’s free City of Heroes account reactivation just to see the kilts!
I hate these “Have you/Do You” Memes, but I was in the mood.

I haven’t decided yet if I like my new “camera.” So far I’ve taken a picture on the “film leader” and made one “double exposure.”
I’m going to stick with it… there’s not too much “film” to shoot.
