And lo, the creature shall emerge from beneath the earth, ready to do battle and eat villagers. . .

Do you know what is cool about October? You can talk like Alice Cooper or some high priest from Ghoulies and it's as near to acceptable as it ever will be. Also, Halloween is approaching and I have offered to be captain or co-captain of a mission to State Street Halloween Festivities. So far, the mission is called SSAC, for State Street Clusterf***

It's going to be QUITE the adventure.

Well, I finished my committee meeting, and it went so freaking wonderfully I keep wondering if I actually did it or not. I didn't know everything, but it was the smoothest science presentation I've ever given, and I could hear myself talking all poised and scientific-like. Now of course, I'm fighting to switch gears between having a powerpoint presentation to doing actual research. . .also I have to do a book report on a book on Protein Folding, and certainly it's not the intriguing read I was hoping for.

In celebration, I got nicely drunk on 5 red stripes Friday night, went on an epic shopping trip with Sharon and Sarah on Saturday afternoon, followed by a cheese party and more drinking Saturday night at Ben's. Sunday I spent watching that Sure Thing movie with John Cusack (admittedly favorite 80's male actor). Those are the highlights folks.

I also need to call back Sam--so everyone smack me around if I continue to forget, because it's lame of me.

Finally, I got 20 bucks worth of new comics at Westfield Comics, including the unexpected new issue of NYX. It continues to be awesome, as does Conan. I'm trying Sylvia Faust, but am unimpressed so far. OH, and Astonishing X-Men rocks my face pretty hard.

Ok, enough procrastinating. I must dry off and read dry literature. . .
