Spook Yourself. Halloween is Coming.

Posted on by

In just 7 days we will get to wear costumes in public without being judged for it. Want to be a badass Jedi? Do it. Craving to channel your inner witch, vampire, ghoul, or goblin? Do it. Beam us up, Scotty, because we are ready!

What are you going to be for Halloween? 
Share your awesome costume ideas on Facebook or Twitter!

The rules have changed at my work. I was told I could wear something as long as I am still in my uniform. You better believe I am going to push this to the limit! 😉 I haven’t made my final decision yet because, let’s face it, pushing the limit takes some serious brainstorming. I’m leaning towards some kind of steampunk cat (cat ears, a tiny top hat, and one of my gothic/western vests).

As for my characters, they don’t need to follow any rules!

From left to right: 
Jadelynn Jackson, Elly Reynolds, Major Pierson, and Aaron Winters*

Jadelynn: I found these adorable cat ears for only 5 credits! I don’t care what everyone at the office thinks! I’m still 12 years old at heart! *Takes selfie* 
Elly: I am the queen, and nobody can tell me otherwise. I wanted to be a witch again, but being the same thing two years in a row is lazy…Darn it. I love my witch hat!
Major Pierson: I hate you, Elly. I hate you. I hate you. This outfit is stupid. Why did I agree to this!? A jailbird!?  *Grabs a glass of whiskey* 
Aaron: … 
*Yes, that is Aaron as Thranduil. 

Happy Halloween

I hope everyone is having an awesome Halloween! Remember to have a boooooo-tastic time. Eat plenty of candy, and do let the boooo-bugs bite!

I’ve extended the Trick-Or-Treat deadline to tomorrow. You have one extra day to send a picture of your costumes and decorations! I didn’t realize that the 1st fell on a Saturday when I initially made the contest. Saturday is the busiest day of the week for me. I’m home for a total of two or three hours. I’ll announce the winner on Sunday…unless, of course, Major Pierson doesn’t get his three entries.

What is a Halloween contest without posting my own costume?

I am a random extra from the anime, Attack on Titan. I’ve got several sets of shiny keys that lead to no where.

Weekly Roundup
~ is very brief this week
This week in 
Space
It has been a very sad week for space exploration. An Antares rocket exploded on Tuesday, 28 October. It was carrying cargo to the International Space Station. It was an unmanned flight, and no one was injured.
Another incident happened today (I was disheartened to learn). As quoted from Virgin Galactic’s Facebook page:
Virgin Galactic’s partner Scaled Composites conducted a powered test flight of SpaceShipTwo earlier today. During the test, the vehicle suffered a serious anomaly resulting in the loss of the vehicle. The WhiteKnightTwo carrier aircraft landed safely. Our first concern is the status of the pilots, which is unknown at this time. We will work closely with relevant authorities to determine the cause of this accident and provide updates as soon as we are able to do so.

I don’t have a blunt opinion (other than the fact that I hope that we continue to venture out into space despite the recent incidents), so I’ll skip ahead to the video of the week.

Video of the Week
 Some cat-tastic cosplay:

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight

…Because sometimes you have to do a crazy crossover between Frozen and Babylon 5 and share it with everyone.

Babylon 5’s Susan Ivanova singing Let it Go.
“A station of isolation, and it looks like I’m captain…”
“Your thoughts never bothered me anyway.”
 

Here’s the Official YouTube video of the song:

Attack on Titan!

I have yet to figure out what pants I’m going to wear. The official Attack on Titan uniforms involve white pants, but mixing me and white pants is like dipping double sided tape into an army of dust bunnies.

It is officially October (well, it has been for the past five days, but that’s beside the point…right?). Bring out the orange and black, the fake bats, goons, and goblins, and spin those webs of cotton! As for me, I will be enjoying many pumpkin spice lattes. Yes, I am extremely cliche when it comes to certain things in the mundane world of life. [ Insert winking emote here ]

 Happy BOOctober from Elly and Pierson! 
…Although he is not too happy about being forced into a Dracula costume.
I’m working on a spooky tale, chipping away at it when I can. The process is slow, but it’s better than never. In the meantime, if you want to get your Halloween spirit on, try Donner Lake Disaster on for size. It has a popping amount of pulp and Lovecraftian fun. The best part? It’s FREE!

2014 Trick-Or-Treat Giveaway!

Elly is feeling generous and wants to hand out treats at the end of the month. Watch out for Pierson though…he’s full of tricks!

Send me a picture of your Halloween costume, decorations, or you in costume by 11:59 p.m. on the 31st November 1st, and I’ll pick a winner. The winner will receive a paperback copy of The Year is Now. 

There’s a catch though: I need at least THREE entries. Pierson is just waiting to pull a trick!

Send all entries and inquiries to:

On November 2nd, I’ll announce the winner. If I don’t get enough entries, Pierson will take over this blog and post a trick! 

RULES:
+ It has to be your costume, not just a screenshot of a super awesome costume on Amazon.
+ You do not have to be wearing it (you can take a picture of it hanging up or laid out).
+ Houses/Apartments decked out in Halloween decorations are okay–they just have to be yours.
+ International entries are okay!

Day 26 of my Post-A-Day challenge. I didn’t work on any Christmas gifts, but I did finish the accessories to my Attack on Titan Halloween costume.

It will be complete once the cloak comes in. There will be pictures, of course. I’m thrilled about this costume! Now I just need to ask my bosses to make sure I am scheduled to work that day, ha ha!

I didn’t do much other than that today. You  need a good lazy day every once in a while.

And for the actual prompt…
Day 26: Post something wacky.
