1. Last Thursday, I saw the 3-D version of Tim Burton's The Nightmare before Christmas.
I love LOVE LOVE the movie, but I was disappointed with the "3-D"-- it just never popped out at you. (I will admit that I still can't get the "Kidnap the Sandy Claws!" song out of my head, though. =))
2. Then on Saturday, I attended this party at the Princeton Alumni Club (it was an all-ivy event--I went with some Harvard alum friends). It cost $60/head and it was in their library, of all places. :-P
The crowd was pretty small (probably about only 50 people) and most of the people were pretty old. My cool friend, who was dressed as Marilyn Monroe (and looked smokin' HOTT!), kept getting ogled by these old men-- one of whom kept asking her to sing "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend".
Moreover, the dumb "Halloween Ball" ended at 1AM-- which after daylight savings went into effect was really midnight. So we barely got to take advantage of their silly "open bar" (which only included wine and beer) and "buffet" (which was basically a selection of tiny cocktail hors d'oeuvres)-- not to mention the fact that it was supposed to go on until 2AM (false advertisement, anyone?).
Needless to say, it was a total bust. =P
3. On Sunday, I went to Sleepy Hollow (i.e. home of the headless horseman) to visit a "haunted" Philipsburg Manor.
Instead of an actual haunted house, though, it was just a bunch of small outdoor displays-- none of which were scary. And the headless horseman never came over to our end of the fence-- so I got slightly irritated at the fools who made us wait 30 minutes for the hoseman to show up. >:O
4. Finally, I went to work today-- not dressed in my ninja costume (as I lost my black belt and nunchaku over the weekend...)-- and our Halloween events were nowhere near as exciting as they were played up to be.
About 5 women were dressed as witches (isn't it time to retire that idea as a costume, already? =P) and probably the best costume was this guy dressed as a member of Def Leopard.
I do want to mention, though, that last year's winner of the Halloween costume competition was a pregnant lady who went as a pumpkin farmer and actually painted her stomach like a pumpkin, which was exposed to the world! But sadly, she was part of the quintet of witches this year (although it was kinda funny that she brought in her baby-- who was dressed as a pumpkin today). =(
So tonight, I stayed in to avoid wasting any more time on lame Halloween events.
Thumbs down to what was a pathetic Halloween 2006.
Blah! =P
