This post has nothing to do with pants.

Last night I cancelled my date due to exhaustion. Nautrally, sleep hated me and I ended up bouncing unsteadily off the walls until nearly 1am due to yesterday's caffination. Naturally, today requires more caffeine. *sigh*

In more positive news, my alienware machine arrived yesterday. It's very pretty, and alienware make well-designed machines. I'm seriously impressed by their attention to detail. The only downside (beyond a slightly emabrassing mistake *I* made) is that the pretty box is too big. It is too tall for the PC shelf in my desk, and with it under my desk, I can't get the chair as close to the desk as I would prefer. I'll figure something out eventually. Maybe even something that *doesn't* require power tools.

I has a plan for Hallowe'en. Naturally, it's changed in my head so that it requires sewing something I don't have a pattern for. However: SCIENCE!

I was thinking of having a "Wood Shop Day" one of the weekends in Feb. In case you come to your sense and realize that the situation DOES require power tools.

OOOooo. Alienware :)
Remember drooling over those machines in PC Gamer magazines when we were teenagers?

Wow, you must REALLY love playing with Halloween stuff if you're planning in January. I certainly don't blame you though! It's such a FUN holiday in many respects.

I've thought about next year's costume too. Part of me wants to be a complete tart about it, and just where the most skin revealing things I can, just because I can, you know? I've never been in place before where the sexy halloween costume was an option for me.

One the other hand, I also like the idea of being Sally a lot. As in from the Nightmare Before Xmas, a movie I adore. Not sexy so much, but I guess I just think it'd be a fun idea with the many, many feet of my own scars I'll have by then.

That would be a pretty impressive costume to pull off! (:

my beef with alienwares is that they don't optimize the timings on the RAM as much as they should.

I did some graphic work for a company that made machines like Alienware's. They aspired to the same standards and had some amazing custom pieces and incredible hardware but just couldn't cut it. They folded pretty quickly I think.
