Hey guys, hope your Halloweens were awesome. Mine was pretty good, I finished making the costume about two days beforehand, and it turned out great. I didn't go see 13th Gate as planned, mostly because it didn't seem right to go without Spock, but luckily I hadn't bought a ticket yet so I didn't lose any money by not going. There are special tours during select dates in November (including Friday 13th), where all lights in the house go out and you get to go through the house armed only with a small pocket flashlight. I may just do that, depending on the money.

Even though I didn't go, the rest of the evening was still good. I went Trick-or-Treating with a couple guys on my street (and pilfered some of their candy >3) and was able to find two of my dogs near the cemetery. I ate the candy there, on the steps of this huge (and old) mausoleum. Wandered around town, and drifted in and out of some street partying and clubs before coming back to crash at around 4:30. Fun times.

STEAMPUNK UPDATE: It took me longer than I thought it would to cut out, drill, and clean all of the brass parts I need for the keyboard, and the work on the costume put me behind, so I've actually only just finished that. But they look good, even though there were a few near misses with the saw. The guy's not kidding when he says to be careful, the thing very nearly bound back at me, which would have been bad. But they're done, and they look so shiny. xD;
Alright boys and girls, Ghoul's going for it. The buzz saw wrist band, the teapot-turned-spider, blueprints for making a working model of this (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4OYGjUrdllo/SXcikt8OaKI/AAAAAAAAPkg/21agAAkZlq4/s400/steampunk_concept_04-620x409.jpg). No. THIS TIME, I have found a new project to satisfy both of my loves, and I am doing it.

Zombies and ghosts, fresh from the steampunk workshop, I give you:

A fully functioning steampunk keyboard and LCD monitor!

Technology and gadgetry are so intricately linked, after all, this is just perfect. Believe it or not this guy (this genius) has actually made a full functioning PC like this, but I'm nowhere near that good. This'll be a big enough project. One day, though. One day...

Oh yes! And I think I've found a good Halloween costume to make this year.



It's a mix of graves, death, power, sorcery...and it's a ZOMBIE. Perfect, prefect, perfect, ooooh I'm so excited.
