W/e update

[fredericks]

The weekend wasn't too painful, thank God. Saturday I didn't do much more besides hit the gym then run home to doll up for my Village Halloween Parade excursion with the Captain, who rocked an awesome non-slutty Little Red Riding Hood costume. I stayed with my nun garb although I left the headwear in my bag in favor of donning the neat purple wig I found last year. The most popular costumes were, in order of frequency seen, 1)zombie, 2)pirate, and 3)Mario and Luigi, with Luigi getting the edge when there wasn't a pair involved (the Mario and Luigi popularity must be a NYC thing, no?). The parade was a tad disappointing this year, mostly due to the rain I think, although it really did seem like budget cuts reduced the number of puppets and trucks. Then again, we left 6th Ave while things were still making their way down the street because we were too soaked for our own good. Today was more gym and then laundry and various other errands. Good times.

And now, as I haven't done one in forever, a meme via nelliewu
