Today was our second Halloween day at school for students that come on the alternating days. The reason that Halloween is a one day affair in America is this: a costume is only the funny the first time you see it, and having multiple costumes is a pain in the butt.

Because most of the school comes everyday, we only had a few classes where students hadn’t seen my costume from yesterday.  My alien mask was giving me strange vision after I took it off. Since the eyes were covered in green filters, I would see everything in strange washed out colors for a few minutes. The students that saw my mask yesterday were no longer frightened anyway. I took it off and put on my second "costume".

A few days ago I went to a Halloween party at a bar. I went to see an old coworkers band, now sans coworker and with a new name. (Now all male band is now known as the The Cock blockers.) I sat around the entire day trying to think up a costume, but came up blank until it was about five minutes until I had to leave. Then I quickly grabbed a box, put some tape on it, then some ribbon and a pair of wooden disposable chopsticks, and made a crude phone looking device. I hung the phone around my neck. I went to the party as a "phone accessory".

The students liked my costume, and were curious to see how I made it. They thought it was funny. Some of them knocked my craftsmanship, but the time vs. reward was heavily in my favor anyway. They were just jealous they didn’t have a costume of their own. I made sure to give out as much candy as I could today, and completely depleted my multiple bag supply.

No one else did anything Halloween related other than handing out some candy. Tests days and Holidays coinciding really sucks the fun out of school.
