Time to start planning my Halloween costume!

No, really. It is. What with the classes and the play and the playing cards Every. Single. Night. it'll be difficult to squeeze in the all important costumery.

I love Halloween. I don't go all half-assed with a werewolf massed mask like some do, no, I require an elegance, dare I say, brilliance from my costumes. So, I have to think of something good, but not the sort of thing that shall have me cavorting off to expensive stores to spend considerable expense on expensive expenses. I've got a Salvation Army and a CVS to work with. So... ideas!

• Given: Long brown hair, round glasses, black kilt, big black boots. Need: Green jacket sort of thing from thrift store, no beard. Result: Daria! Only, like, a man! Unfortunately, my hair isn't quite long enough, so I'd need to get a wig. Or wait a year. And then I'd get to wander around, insulting my friends and loved ones, feeling only hate. I do most of that already, so... yeah. Gotta love Daria.
• Given: Several large, brown boxes, some tape, scissors. Need: more tape, more boxes, and a cogent plan; first two obtainable from CVS, latter must spring forth from my powerful brain. Result: BOXTOR! The robot made of boxes! There is the chance that it'll look terrible and ugly if I don't do it exactly right, though. See, what I really want is to be able to pull a transformation, so that I literally look like a huge box, but I turn into a robot. That would rock.
• Given: Most of my 'corporate zombie' costume. Needed: Rest of 'corporate zombie costume'. Result: Me being a total tool for using the same costume twice. UNACCEPTABLE!

So, yeah. That's all I got so far. More though will happen, of course, especially as we grow closer to October. All I know is that it's going to rock.
