I always chuckle when I hear the name Elvis Costello. I keep expecting a short fat guy in a sequined jumpsuit with lamb-chop sideburns to jump out and yell, "Who's on first, pretty mama?" at a mummy. (Bob Roth)
Only the ones I personally laughed at, though. So ha to all the rest.

7> "P'uff the Magic Klingon" [it hurts...]

4> "Cpt. Archer's Only Warp Core Band"
3> "I Shot the Suliban (But I Did Not Shoot the Denebian)"

I decided during my last class today that I'm gonna go to school on Halloween all dressed up. Blue wig, makeup (including black lipstick if I can get it, blue if I can't), black clothes (including a SKIRT, making this the first time I've willingly worn a skirt since seventh grade), black nylons, platform-ish sandals... I found the perfect jackety thing for the costume today, and it was very very soft and I'd gladly wear it normally too, but it was 25 bucks, and that's just too much to pay for a jackety thing just because it's soft and nifty. I'll probably just take the white fur off my old eskimo costume jacket thing and sew some stringy dark gray on in its place. I'm going for kind of a general punk/goth/freak/whatever ambiance, and bright white fakenfur just doesn't go with the theme...

Continuing the girly theme of clothing, I bought a new flannel shirt today. It's so soft. It's like wearing a teddy bear! And it's plaid. I like plaid. I like flannel. Hooraaay.

*waits for her skirt to dry so she can give what she has of her costume a test-run*
I need advice on how to, er, punk-ify an item of clothing. It's a fairly normal, standard zippered sweatshirt, drawstring hood, front pouch pockets, black. It's currently adorned with white fur, but that's temporary. I'd appreciate if anyone could give me advice on how to make it more punk-ish by Halloween (yeah, so I shoulda thought of the dressing up earlier, I've never been good at foresight!). Keep in mind that A) I don't want to do any permanent damage to the sweatshirt, as I'd like to be able to use it again, and B) whatever I do to it, I need to do it on a really teensy budget. The more painfully punk/pose(u)rish I can get this thing in the next few days, the better. Thing is, about the only things I can think of to do to it offhand are apply various patches and buttons from Hot Topic to it (which costs money which I don't have), or go out and buy a package of safety pins and slather them all over it (which costs quite a bit less but isn't really that much of an adornment by itself). All serious suggestions appreciated. All derisive comments in the vein of "you are a poser, shut up" will be ignored, because come on, people, I'm trying to do this for a COSTUME. Thursday after Halloween I plan to go back to my usual jeans and t-shirts, thanks much.

*notes that this would probably be lots easier if she really paid much attention to fashion trends, heh*
