We had a strobe light on it to draw some attention, but it was indeed one of the many really subtle touches that I loved so well. The installers kept bugging me to hang it lower --- but they are muggles, and I insisted that guests needed to be looking UP at the hanging skeleton in the Stretch Room.

Damn: would have loved to have seen it.

But I DID see the skeleton in the cupula (is it a cupula?) that was visible from outside. Tried to take a picture but was unsuccessful. Tres cool!

Great picture Isaac! Love the touch with the apple.

The Ghost on a wire was really cool, too. As was the Spider's Lair.


Sigh, my office is so damn boring this year.

Ours had its usual half-assed (downgraded to quarter-assed this year I think) costume contest in the lunch room. Mini pies were supplanted with large cupcakes. Truly thrilling.

No costume contest for us this year.

Instead we had a lets see who can waste the most office supplies I mean a mask making contest for each department using only things found in the office.

You're the best !

How is it even w/ a $23.9 billion loss this past quarter, Wachovia has more money & spirit to invest in holiday cheer than other companies ?

Just wonderin.......


BTW: $18 billion of that loss came from the bad loans when Wachovia merged w/ Golden West.

I was wondering what happened to her face ... when I realized, oh ... that's from the inside.


You wascaly wabbit.


So, when sneaking up to the attic ... did you notice how the last flight of stairs is still charred from the fire? It's a creepy touch.

The West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval was less fun than last year. Way more crowded (with the holiday falling on a Friday night) and way fewer fantastic costumes.

Sorry I got no pictures, but tops was a drag queen duo of Ariel and Ursula. Wizard of Oz was a common theme, with a very clever Tornado costume, Glinda with a falling house, a couple of random Tin Men, and about 8 or 9 Dorothys.

I'm glad I dropped my plans to come as Heath Ledger to tonight's Died Young party ... there were no less that 36 of Ledger's Jokers last night. Ugh.

For some reason, the runner up was Charlie Brown - roughly five of them.

2 sets of Gilligans Island, lots of leftover Teletubbys costumes, some clever Mars Attacks Martians, and a hot gay Swat Team. Best groups were the Taco Party and the Circus Train.

Yeah, what? Sorry ... maybe my friend got photos and I'll post them later if so. She's on the way to San Francisco this morning, so it might be awhile. Her boyfriend, my pal Greg, was fantastic again this year as a mummy. He does incredible make-up and such, and stole the show this year since there was far less competition. (Last year he was a completely credible and creepy Nosferatu .... it's such a pleasure going to this event with someone who rates in the big leagues of costumes and becomes a Photo-Op Celebrity.)



Alright ... sigh ... more Halloween tonight.
