They're dark and a bit hard to see, but the sound is unmistakable. Here are a few of the karaoke songs performed on Saturday:
Oh, and Happy Halloween!

This is an image-heavy post, so I hid that part behind the "more" link.

I had hoped to do this all in one post, but it ain't gonna happen. I'm still waiting on photos from some others at the party so I can try to post as many costume pictures as possible, all at once, so that will hopefully happen tomorrow. I will give you one photo now, though, and that's of my costume:

For those of you with bad eyes, I created a camp T-shirt and cap. The T-shirt said "Adam Avitable's Clothing Optional Camp for Girls Aged 14-17", and the slogan said "There's grass on the field, let's play!" The cap said "Camp Avitable: We'll be on our knees, talking about birds and bees". You'd be amazed at the number of job applications I received for potential camp counselors at Camp Avitable throughout the evening.
While I'm going to write up a real recap once I have all the photos so I can do it right, I thought, just to tide everyone over, I'd let Britt do the talking for now:
Here's the direct link if you can't play the video directly.
I'm spending all day today hanging things, arranging props, buying supplies, and getting ready for the big night. I'm not going to be able to set up a live webcam, but I'm hoping someone has a video camera. There will be plenty of still photos, if not.
Be jealous!
Two more days of prep doesn't seem like enough time! Either that, or I need two of me. Or three of me. Hm – now that could be fun in the bedroom!
So I'm thinking of doing NaNoWriMo, even though the name is retarded.
For those of you who have no idea what that is, it stands for National Novel Writing Month. It's a challenge to write 50,000 words starting on November 1st, and ending on November 30th.
Writing that much in such a short period of time means that your writing is going to absolutely suck. But just by putting the words to paper and getting them out, you're getting closer to writing something real.
I thought to myself. "Self, even though you work constantly and have very little free time, you should also try to write a 50,000-word novel at the same time!"
Plus blog every day.
And make sales.
And supervise my unruly salesperson.
And run my household with the iron fist like I usually do.
And kill and bury my weekly underage Thai hooker in the backyard.
Anyone else thinking of doing NaNoWriMo?
Have any suggestions for how to blog for that entire month?
Woke up. Went to breakfast. Asked the screaming baby at the table next to us to shut the fuck up. Urge to kill increased. Returned angry looks to parents. Came home.
Watched TV. Put together karaoke machine for Halloween party. Sang "Like a Virgin". Danced a little.
Answered work phone. Talked to client. Explained our product 14 times. Called client retard subtly. Urge to kill increased more. Wrote aggressive email to client in simple English.
Took shower. Accidentally used dog's shampoo. Urge to kill increased more. Used correct shampoo. Smelled like BBW 3-in-1 Cinnamon Bun. Urge to kill faded.
Stepped outside. Started sweating immediately. Urge to kill increased. Drove to Home Depot. Got stuck behind old woman who straddled the lanes. Urge to kill increased more. Parked in spot where trucks overlapped parking lines. Dinged truck door. Urge to kill increased more.
Stepped into Home Depot. Assaulted with cacophony of Christmas melodies, Christmas trees, decorations, and huge Christmas section. Urge to kill increased more. Heard retard woman singing along with Christmas melodies. Urge to kill overwhelmed. Killed everyone. Blew up the world. The End.
