I work in the building where Regis and Kelly tapes their show, so I came to work bombarded with plenty of clever costumes.
However none caught me off guard this morning like this guy sitting outside of Starbucks.
Dang, I love Halloween.

Eddie
I'm a little bored with work and the election coverage, so here is another random story not really related to tomorrow’s holy day.
As you can read on post below, Suzanne has a scary friend named Eddie. She used Eddie as one would use a crucifix for a vampire in the haunted house and took it to a great new level when she sent me this BBM picture saying that she was taking Eddie with her to LA.
(She’s perfectly sane. We had talked about her doing this to eff with fellow passengers.)
A few days later, Suzanne sent this one of “Eddie with his cousins”.
…I said it was a random story.

Holly at the Halloween Ball
Last night I went with Heidi to the Central Park Conservancy Halloween Ball. The invitation read “black tie, masks and costumes encouraged”. I dressed as Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn’s character in Breakfast at Tiffany’s).
There were more than a few Sarah Palin costumes, but the best came with a moose (who for some reason decided to stand alone during the cocktail hour)
Heidi was the emcee so she didn't dress in costume, but she was introduced as “the best looking meteorologist” (apart from Sam Champion, I agree)
The décor in the tents in the middle of Central Park were impressive (which made up for the mediocre food)
I flipping love Halloween.

Vegetable (and Rabbit) Lasagna
Friday night I went to Bacaro with Kelsey and Kim. Kim is a vegetarian. And in the past has ordered the vegetable lasagna, enjoyed it, and decided to order the lasagna again. A few bites into it, the lasagna “tasted different...” so we asked the waiter who informed us that their lasagna is now made with rabbit.
Poor Kim.
But more for Kelsey and I.

Blood Manor
Last night I went with Suzanne and her out of town friends to Blood Manor, a haunted house in Chelsea. It was genuinely the most terrifying half hour I have ever encountered. One room after another of freight and gore.
We also encountered Eddie, a $1 Target purchase. Its intent is to be frightening, but Suzanne gave Eddie a funnier edge.
I couldn’t decide which clip was better, so I'm posting both.

Dinner with Papa
My dad is in town for work, so last night instead of joining my coworkers with the final debate coverage, I went to the Empire Hotel roof bar for a cocktail, PJ Clarke’s for dinner, then Barcibo for a glass of wine and truffle crusted cheese.
We thought that PJs has a fantastic quote on their wine menu:
“I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they are going to feel all day.” –Frank Sinatra

Central Park Run
Since the weather was perfect I spent my evening running in Central Park.
The leaves have officially started to change.
Theres a creepy green film on the Boathouse Pond now that the boats are stored for the winter.
The Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir was crystal clear.
And there was a cute jazz band playing on the running path.

My Graceland(s)
During lunch I went with Heidi to complete our Halloween costumes. If you can’t guess based on the ruby slippers, I'm going as Dorothy from Wizard of Oz. The Halloween store just below Union Square is my Graceland. 2 years ago my old roommate, Marissa and I went at least 4 times.
And after the Halloween store we went to Taco Bell, my other Graceland.
It was the best lunch break ever.

Night Night Lovie and Papa
I think that this is my sister, Krista’s cheap attempt to cut me out of whatever will my parents have. Oh, the points she scored with these little girls!!!
(Lovie and Papa are what Grace calls my parents. I still want my kids to call my mom ‘Big Momma’ though... an action that Im sure will do a better job knocking my name out of a will.)

Tots and Jello Shots
Since I’m on the bored side and a little depressed with the extreme drop in the market I thought I would share an incriminating story about myself.
When I was in San Francisco for Marisol’s bachelorette party I had a few drinks and decided to learn how the trailer park-themed bar, Butter makes their tater tots. So I got in the kitchen and made a few batches (and charged a bit more than the posted price).
While back there, I somehow thought that the Jello shots were free since I was technically working there, so I took some (seven) and even took some out to my friends.
Apparently that is considered stealing alcohol from a bar and is frowned upon in Butter.

Madonna in New Jersey
Saturday I went with Heidi and her gays to the Madonna concert (the US tour kick-off in New Jersey). It was my first time to see Madonna and to see an event in New Jersey, so I made several observations:
1) Madonna can play the guitar (well)
2) Madonna can double dutch jump rope
3) Madonna has a hot old lady body
4) Madonna doesn’t like Sarah Palin
5) New Jersey gays love make-up (a lot of them anyways)
6) New Jersey loves to tail gate… its not just for football it seems
7) New Jersey loves Madonna
(New Jersey has a bad name, but based upon my observations, New Jersey and I have a few things in common)

Subway Entertainment
On the subway on my way home from the gym (yes, I went to the gym. It had been a while; so much so that the check-in guy scanned my card and said “welcome back”) I saw the most magical man playing a keyboard with all these dancing dolls. It was creepy and wonderful.
Im sorry. My camera phone doesn’t at all do it justice. I didn't want to take an obvious picture since I wasn’t carrying any singles in my pocketbook.
