Today's Gangbang challenge of the day: How much money would I have to pay Raza Syed to get him to go and see this film? I'm guessing he'll do it for no less than $37. It might be worth it, if we all pool our funds.

I can't believe Sean Penn is on Friends. And after he pissed on Nic Cage for doing popcorn flicks, no less. ("You're blurry, but you still look like Ursula -- you're Blur-sula!" That's -- not -- great writing.)

so I went to vote and out of the dozens of people I saw, everyone there was either a) very clearly a senior citizen b) my astronomy professor with his six-month-old baby or c) me.

no wonder this place is so god damn conservative.

My Halloween was pretty lo-fi. I worked the front door of our house with my sister for a while, passing out Kit-Kats and Skittles to the kiddies and the occassional teenager from my neighborhood. Then I went out egging for two hours, per usual. Later that evening, I ended up at Sam Diego's with friends, where we found ourselves drinking Red Bull and Vodka in street clothes amidst a flashy costume dance party. The best costumes there had to belong to the group of Muppets: Animal, Kermit, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker. The Beaker costume was non-stop hilarious. The guy's face hid behind the large flap that is Beaker's mouth. At one point I found him tangled up in decorative cotton spider-webbing, exclaiming "meep meep meep" over and over in frustration. Beaker won a snowboard for his costume. That was the highlight of my Halloween.

My favorite personal costume of all time has to be third or fourth grade when I dressed up as a piece of cheese. I took a large cardboard box, covered it in yellow tack paper, and Sharpied on some large holes, Swiss-style. I wore a yellow rain hat to match. My brother dressed up in a fancy mouse costume my mother made, and at each house he would pretend to gnaw on me. The costume was great, but the box came down below my knees; everything was fine until I fell down in front of Tim Urdi's house and couldn't get up without help. I spilled some of my candy, too.

Improvising on short notice(as I spent the first half of the week in exam-induced limbo), my roomie and I ended up going as Kris Kross. I was the illustrious Kross. It went pretty well, considering that we looked nothing like them, except of course for the backwards clothing and large pants.

i'm going as an urban cowgirl, with a black lace skirt and a tank top, fishnet stockings, boots, a cowboy hat, and a gun holster. i don't have a lot of money, so i'm pretty happy that, since i already had everything but the gun holster and fishnets, the whole costume was just eight dollars. i'm wearing it saturday night for billy and jessica's halloween party in dallas.

i'm not sure that an urban cowgirl is such a brilliant idea, but i wanted something easy, inexpensive, and comfortable. also, i think it will look cool, and what was it that g.i. joe said about looking cool and how it was half the battle?
