Awfully eventful day at the office yesterday, gang, so I didn't get much of a chance to scour the internets for goodies. My boss announced her retirement, and we had to meet with the new boss and all sorts of stuff along those lines that I try not to write about in this space. It's not terribly interesting, so I'll spare you.

Having dedicated much of the month of October to thinking about getting married, I didn't get much of a chance to plan a Halloween costume, so I went to our friends' party last night dressed as a marathon runner. I thought about getting some red food coloring and doing the bloody-nipple thing, but I actually liked the shirt I was wearing, so I didn't go that far with it. 2.0 went as a pregnant lady, and since she hadn't seen a lot of the people at the party in a few months, was constantly explaining that she would not be drinking a beer if she were actually pregnant. Our hostess' brother was dressed as Zombie Richard Lewis, which was the most bizarre idea for a costume I've heard of in a long time. Evidently, two of his friends had gone out with him to a party over the weekend as Zombie Richard Belzer and Zombie Jerry Springfield, but didn't feel like going through the pain of applying the makeup again. I spend a good deal of the party talking with a girl whose family had lived in Rome, NY, before moving to Albany, before moving to Brooklyn. As my mother's family is from Rome, I told her to stop following me.

Uh, that's actually all I've got. Second-to-last Lost episode tonight (where the hell was I when they announced this split-season thing they're doing?), alternate-side parking is suspended for today, and overturn any Christmas display you see in a store, because it's not Christmas season yet.

I did it all for the cookie, yeah the cookie, so you can take that cookie and stick it up your ass, stick it up your ass, stick it up your ass, stick it up your ass.

I'm still waiting for my prize. I'm hungry.

Just when I thought "How Bizarre" was going to be the most random blast-from-the-past song I'd hear today...

Lost fans: Check out today's Penny Arcade...

Hey, we're back to this Ron-Jen storyline. Phat.

I was just thinking of "We Like to Party" by Venga Boys, if you're on that late-90s pop kick.

It's never far - I just don't want the whole shebang to become exclusively, you know, an episode of "Friends" or something.
