Yesterday, instead of writing about Kristin Lavrensdatter like I needed to, since it’s time for part 1 wrap-up posts, I unpacked and put out all of our DVDs (nearly 300 titles!), music, and of course my books. Then I made my Halloween costume.
I wanted to be the character “9” from the movie of the same name, an animated post-apocalypse story about a small group of soft robots who are fighting to survive the same terrible machine that assisted in the destruction of human civilization.
My costume, while not being exactly what I had envisioned (I had high hopes for a great deal of burlap…!) turned out well and throughout my shift at the theater (where we were playing 9, incidentally) I got a lot of good comments. The zipper, of which I am particularly proud, made it through a costume party at the Lompoc, and the nearly hurricane force winds and sudden rain that plagued the night. I’m going to hang it somewhere in my house – I discovered that giant zippers are really visually interesting! 🙂
Here’s another really visually interesting thing – click for a bigger image if you want to really peruse the shelves!
Nonsensical ramblings about Kristin Lavrensdatter coming soon, I promise… Maybe after I finish this Bloody Mary. 🙂
what we have here is a failure to communicate 
Great shelf! It sounds like you had a lovely Halloween. In a true work-from-home-and-don’t-get-out-much moment, we went out for drinks without realizing it was Halloween, and were then like “Wow, so many people dressed up in costumes! Wonder what’s the deal?” 🙂

I like how you think! P.S. I’ll get The Woman in White out to you sometime next week–hope you like it.

Emily – That’s too funny. I did that with Mardi Gra this year, which is slightly more obscure. “Why the heck are so many people wearing plastic beads, of all things?!”
Richard – Thanks so much! I’m looking forward to it. 🙂
