It's Saturday and I'm just getting over a cold which began on Tuesday. Its lingering effects are still quite annoying and I'm sure my energy level is nowhere near its usual "medium."
Sam and I, and possibly others, are heading to the nearby city of Matsusaka, which is a little bigger than Ise. Just a little bigger, but enough to draw us out of town in search of new entertainment or shopping.
A huge box of warmer clothes and coats arrived two days ago (thanks Dad and Steph) but I am still in the market for some seasonal clothing. I may not find much in Matsusaka ... I might need a trip to the big city soon for that sort of thing.
Halloween is coming, and there's a big JET costume party on the slate. I have no idea what I'll "be" for the party, but I must decide soon or I'll be "that guy" without a costume. The last time I dressed up for Halloween, during college, I was a "Mormon," complete with a white shirt, a black tie, black slacks, and more importantly, a backpack and a bicycle helmet. Credit goes to older brother Phil for the inspiration.
I could go for a repeat of the Mormon thing, but Kentaro (the owner of Nanaimo) suggested a couple other ideas, including:
-Japanese construction worker. They tend to wear a stereotypical outfit including oddly baggy pants and a vest. I cold add a hardhat and some kind of power-tool and I'd be set for the evening.
-Japanese high school student. This would probably require only borrowing the outer jacket from a Yamasho student. A really easy idea.
I've always wanted to use one of those full-body costumes ... like ... as a bear or something. Not just me in some outfit, but me as a bear. Not sure where you can find bear costumes around here. And the clock is ticking.
Any other ideas out there?

I'm going to be a lumberjack.
But a sexy lumberjack , of course- it's Halloween.
Step One: Cut a hole in a box....
I kid.
Step One: Cut two holes in a sheet.
Step Two: Drape sheet over body.

get a jogging suit and a brightly colored beanie. adidas would be a plus. chop down a cardboard box until it's a flat piece. escort said piece to your party and every now and again (more drinks, more drinks, more drinks,) scream something, throw the cardboard down, and dance viciously/awkwardly (more drinks, more drinks, more drinks).
breakdancer!
or, print out a picture of your face at a younger age and turn it into a mask. wear juvenile clothes. I saw someone at a party in costume as "myself as an 8 year old" and it was kind of creepy but it looked simple.
work it!
