I can’t recommend visiting Santa Cruz on Halloween, though.
Sunday my sister and I went to watch the Halloween freak show in downtown Santa Cruz. Man, I’ve never seen so many people dressed as prostitutes in all my life… if that’s what they were dressed as… if they were only dressed as prostitutes. I went as God.
Most of the people were in no discernible costume. (Me, fr’instance.) They were just dressed ridiculously or outrageously. (Then there were the guys dressed as Jay and Silent Bob, whom the people in my group simply didn’t recognize because they’d never seen the movies.) Halloween is the perfect opportunity for freaks to be themselves and get away with it. So they did.
Makes you wonder how many people out there save their freakdom for days like Halloween? With me, what you see is pretty close to what you get; I’m still trying to get the two to match. It’s called integrity, you see.
Monday is my Sabbath because Saturday I have classes.
Yet I had to put in some Yearbook Adviser quality time. The first big deadline is coming up and some staff members are getting flaky. So I edited lots of photos.
This stuff is easier to do on my Macintoshes. Nobody believes me, though. See, there are Macs on this campus, but they’re the old, sucky, OS 9 Macs that are poorly maintained and have the versions of Microsoft Word and Internet Explorer that lock up all the time. So most people are convinced that Macs suck, never considering the possibility of Microsoft sabotage.
If I had a similar experience, I would agree; but my Macs have both have OS X and have only locked up three times between them in the past two years. And I never turn them off. Apple needs to donate lots of computers to Bethany College if they want to keep a customer base. Anyone at Apple listening?
