Chun-Li jean skirt

apologies to my loyal readers that my recent blog entries haven't exactly been uplifting; the ranting does help in form of free therapy for me though - free is always good.

on to other random topics, a while back i was shopping and picked up a Calvin Klein jean skirt, which is going to be fondly referred to as the Chun-Li skirt (famed Street Fighter character, as if i need to tell u). Everytime i wear it some woman always compliments it... i'm not even sure it's work appropriate. the slits (one on each side) actually go pretty high when i'm sitting... when i am walking i'm ok, pulling it down here and there... it's probably not appropriate for work, but what the hey, i work in high tech in the Valley. they should be thankful i am not in an oversized free tshirt, baggy unfitting sweatpants, sporting glasses and bad hair/breath/hygiene.

which actually brings me to the topic of Halloween - y'all already see the stores decorated and trying to push it down our throats since it's the next commercial holiday. any idea for costumes? now that i don't feel like a big fat cow, i actually am thinking of maybe dressing up and making a cool costume.. got no party or plans yet, so no point of going through the trouble if i were going to just stay home. will u invite me to YOUR Halloween parties??

My friend JM just left for a 30-day cartrip cross Canada... at her bon voyage party we ended up on the topic of Halloween costumes and her and her friends were thinking of being a Puck Bunny, with a T-shirt printed "Puck me!", bunny ears & tails... sounds interesting (at the very least, probably lots of weirdos would come approaching thinking the t-shirt message is especially meant for them!

for a while, yearly we'd do the dress-up Halloween thing, that's cuz my friend AL's bday is near that day and every year we'd make time to get together. we always ended up at the frat house Halloween party (which isn't as exciting as it sounds, and unlike all the hollywood movies involving frat house parties - we would go since they always host the party to raise money for charity). we'd run into these HUGE football playing students, dressed to the 9s, in chunky tall heels, boy do they have LEGS going going gone... fishnet stockings, full makeup and hair... they were always so friendly and gushingly happy :)

oh yeah, we'd always give AL smack because she'd usually dress up as a "witch", which means she's in a black sweater and black pants, and have a black hat in her hands. when we walk the streets downtown, she can take off that hat and look like a normal human being while the rest of us look foolishly over/under/inappropriately dressed in Frankesteined costumes. the only reason we'd let her do this year after year is because it is her bday timeframe, afterall..
