Your One Stop Shop For Bad Grammer!
So I had a really nice Halloween weekend (she says, a week later.) I decided that I had really had enough of IV Halloweens and that I wasn’t into the whole dressing up thing. So I headed down to da OC to visit Kari. Getting out of IV proved to be the most stressful part of the weekend. I left Saturday night right after the festivities got started. My car was blocked in by at least three cars and half our apartment building was milling around outside totally sloshed and completely aimless. A pirate was attempting to direct traffic and failing miserably. I got rid of two of the cars but no one wanted to own up to the last one. Eventually I just stood there and screamed “I. WILL. TOW!” at the top of my lungs. Goose from Top Gun came wandering out of the crowd. “Dude, I think that’s my roommate’s car…” The rest of the weekend was nice and chill. We saw The Grudge (scary as hell but plot-light) and then hopped into Ladder 49 (schmaltzy but good.) I’d never movie hopped before so I was kinda nervous but Kari was very smooth. We utilized a classic snack bar maneuver and no one suspected a thing. I felt like a rebel. It almost didn’t feel illegal, especially since they were charging $8 for a matinee. $4 is about what I wanted to spend per movie anyway. We had planned to go to the grocery store and pick out one of the remnant pumpkins to carve. When we got there all that were left were the miniature pumpkins. Can you carve a miniature pumpkin? Who wouldn’t want to find out. Our specimen was about 4 inches high and maybe 2 ˝ or 3 inches wide. The sticker said “Wee Bee Little.” Perfect. We almost made it out the door when we realized that we didn’t have a candle. One trip to the seasonal aisle and a pumpkin scented Harry & David miniature later we were on our way. Turns out you can totally carve those little pumpkins. They look just the same on the inside, except that it takes way less time to clean them out. Our pumpkin looked very cool except that I carved the mouth the wrong way so he ended up being bucktoothed rather than gap toothed. Special Ed pumpkin. We had to cut the candle down because it was too tall for the pumpkin ( … sad). Did you know there are like, little mini candles inside those scented candles? Well there are. Next year I want to do a whole row of the little pumpkins for my windowsill. So, anyway, we spent the rest of the night playing old school board games. My ego was severely damaged by the fact that I lost at Jr. Trivial Pursuit (ages 8 – 10.) At least Zandar (from Ask Zandar) liked me. I spent most of Monday attempting not to fall asleep in the middle of class. Everyone else was hung over, I had board game fatigue. Niiiiice. 1:38 p.m. November 06, 2004
