this is me. Pretty scary, huh? The stuff on my teeth to make them look yellow felt like I had to brush my teeth real bad.
Here's Ellie. She was a rockstar.
The guy in the middle is Ellie's brother, Gus. He's a rockstar too. I don't know who those others are.
These guys are dressed like Marty and Jennifer from the Back to the Future movies. the guy has a tape walkman too. I thought it was clever.
The party was awesome. We had some loud music and danced the night away. I was playing the dj most of the time too.
For the party I made a guy, Alexander, out of some of my clothes that I hung from the banister. I took him apart today and forgot to get a picture of him. He was creepy, mostly because I found an old mask from years ago that I used for a head. It looked real enough to make your heart jump to see him when not expecting it. After the party we took him down and did more scaring with him. First I think we put him Liz's bed, under the covers so you could only see his head but only from looking straight down at him. That night when she came home she knew something was there; not really believing that it was a person, but not really disbelieving it either. She threw her bag at it just to make sure, but she said she was too scared to take the blankets off.
Alexander then found his way in Ellie's bed. I don't remember if she got scared that time. But after that Ellie threw Alex over the railing to the ground floor. I picked him up and positioned him in the corner of the tv room where he creeped everyone out. I put him in a curled up position to make him look a bit more real. It looked real enough to make your head turn and wonder for a split second if he was going to eat you. It was here that he had the most effect.
His next move was to Ellie's closet where he stayed for a few days, I think. It kind of creeped her out. She then put it in my bed where it had zero effect and I took him apart today. He was a fun guy for not being able to move.
The other monumental thing other than Halloween was that Guitar Hero 3 came out last Sunday. Ellie's brother, Gus, who is shown above as the other rock star, bought it that very Sunday and brought it over to our house.
Unfortunately Gus doesn't own a gaming console and his love for Guitar Hero was so great that he had to play it that very day. His only solution was to buy it for someone else's console and come play it whenever he can. It's cool for us that live here because we have Guitar Hero 3 in our house. The game comes out for computer sometime next month, and if I don't buy Gus's game Gus will take it in for store credit and buy the computer version of the game. I'm up the air about buying it. Guitar Hero is a fun game but I'm waiting for Rock Band, which is very much like Guitar Hero except it adds drums and vocals to the mix. One dilemma is guitar compatibility: both Rock Band and Guitar Hero have their own guitars that work with their games and I'm trying to figure out if they are cross compatible, i.e. if Guitar Hero's guitar will work with Rock Band and vise versa. If they are compatible I think I would buy Gus's game. That way I would already have a guitar for Rockband when it comes out. I'm definitely going to buy Rock Band and the bundle that it is selling comes with the game, drums, one guitar, and a microphone. The bundle could use a second guitar to play the fourth part, and acquiring it through Guitar Hero wouldn't be bad. It's sort of cheaper to buy guitars in a bundle cause it's a bunch cheaper that way. Games are usually $60 and the guitars are between $60-80. Guitar Hero 3 bundle was $100 for the game and the guitar. The thing is though that I don't know the compatibility yet. Neither company has come out and announced any compatibility. The other thing, though, is that Rock Band's guitar is supposed to be much cooler than Guitar Hero's: they made the guitar look and feel more like a real guitar and theirs can do more on their game. So if I got a Guitar Hero guitar it wouldn't be able to do all the cool things that it could on Rock Band. What to do?
