Going as the Burger King a couple of years ago was fun, but I still think the matching Lindsey and Lilah costumes Kristen and I did for Halloween in Vegas was the best time I've had playing dress-up.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Two of the three founders of Blue Man Group have started a nursery school. The Blue Man Creativity Center opened last week with 43 enrollees aged two to four. It sounds like a cross between a Reggio Emilia school and an acid trip. From The New Yorker:
Every day at the center will end with a ritual called Glow Time, during which the shades are lowered, the regular lights are turned off, and black lights are turned on, illuminating the parts of the room (including work created by the students) that have been painted with special UV paint. The collection of Blue Man-inspired educational gewgaws on hand is a far cry from flash cards and Play-Doh. There’s a hypnotic Bubble Machine, with kid-controlled colored lights; a futuristic Water Machine, with a mini-whirlpool; and a trippy installation, left over from the B.M.G.’s 2003 tour, of giant computer-animated dragonflies that can be made to light up, flap their wings, and fly. The Tree House, whose slide deposits kids in the Texture Pit, looks like fun. So does the OMi-Beam machine, a computerized rig made up of eight ceiling-mounted halogen lamps, loudspeakers, and a video monitor (there is only one other OMi-Beam machine in the country, at Madame Tussaud’s). Colored beams create pools of light on the floor, and by waving a reflective wand through the beams kids can produce any number of sounds, from musical instruments to the calls of barnyard animals and samples of pop hits from the nineteen-eighties (one is Fatboy Slim’s “Rockafeller Skank”).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I haven't watched GG yet, but I'm obligated to, since part of it was shot in my neighborhood.

OK, it's Photoshopped. But still, it's a scathing indictment of... stuff....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cool-assed costume site. Well at least so far. Got there through google taking me to the Moulin Rouge page.
I keep wanting to type Moulin Douche.
eta: It's fueled by a lot of ads, but I like it for a reference.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Most awesomest clock evah!
That's... that's...

.... that's a strikingly apt visual representation of my day.

FNL is clearly my favoritest show in a long long time. If it gets cancelled I will mourn.

Yep. I've had days like that. Or maybe a life like that.

Matilda has eaten hummus and martini olives tonight.
Now she is prepared to attack the Mayor and hang out with Frank Sinatra.
