happy halloween!

So finally, it's the big day, my favorite holiday!! Luckily I have the day off so I'm just going to watch scary movies and cook the creepy recipes from the holiday magazines I collected. Usually I have a great weekend along with the holiday, but I suppose everyone's going to have an off year sometime. So I'm going to reminisce about Halloweens past!

There was my first year in college, where I went on a haunted walking tour and won a night in a haunted hotel room by myself!! It was beautiful, but nothing happened.
Another year and I went to Disneyland for their Halloween celebrations.
There was another year where I threw a fantastic Halloween party at my apartment!!
The following year, same place same party. But with way better food and David Bowie!!
Another year found me working in a costume store for Halloween. The best thing about was getting to dress up to work everyday. Fun job.
Then of course last year I was in Korea and it was loads of fun. My kids dressed up, their was a party everyday, and the night out was super fun. Although I was Katy Perry, most Koreans thought I was Lady Gaga haha.

i have loved you for almost a decade now

Cirque du Soleil's in Pittsburgh. Oh the memories of this company. Almost ten years ago I saw Quidam play here and I was hooked. I traveled around the country, sometimes even to Canada, just to catch the different shows. You know how teenagers these days go crazy for Twilight? Yeah, this was my Twilight I realize now. Ooo, it causes one to wince at one's own impetuousness from youth! But, I grew out of it as time went on and the company grew larger. I don't follow the gossip or news anymore. (Haha gossip about circus people? I know, wow I was odd. But I wasn't alone in this! That's the thing! There were other people who were MORE dedicated to this company than I was. Probably still are. Haven't kept up with them these past few years...)

I'm digressing! Totem is here in town. I enjoyed it. They've got a great location in the Strip District which overlooks the Heinz factory and warehouses and 34th Street Bridge. (Heinz like the ketchup, yes that's right. My true and steadfast love from Pittsburgh will always be you, Heinz.) Much better than when Varekai was in town. I'm sad because I've just found out Quidam will be here in October but I won't be. :C Also, Tamir, why aren't you in Alegria??!! Whaaat? (If you know what I'm talking about you also loved cirque a bit too much too.)





Sad I didn't get a shot of the Heinz columns... Taken with my Motorola Xoom!
