Jedi Jane 2009

I was a Twy'lek Jedi, once again. And let me bitch for a minute about that costume. I love it, but every time I wear it I swear I'll never wear it again and then I forget because it looks so cool and do it again. I don't like it because of the ear thing. Those are little girl panty-hose, died green, and stuffed with cotton. So I have the waist band around my head and over my ears and it's tight and after some time, it really hurts my ears. Not to mention the hearing impairment it causes- and you all know my hearing is not that great at the best of times :)
Plus, I can't afford (or I just refuse to spend the money on) a light saber that makes noise, so I have to make the light saber noises myself. AND it is not illuminated. So it's kinda lame that way.
But, having said that, it is a kick-ass costume. I'm just not sure that I'll wear it again.

EGSA Halloween PArty 2009

The EGyptology Graduate Student Association annual Halloween costume party was well attended and a good time was had by all. Especially me. Because I got drunker than anybody else :) But these are just pictures of everybody else. The first years are all so CUTE! Dr. C was a spider web and Dr. Brand was a Roman. Dr. Onstine was a pharaoh and Mariam didn't show up because she had to move or something. There were a lot of Greeks and Romans, a couple of pirates, a princess, a cowgirl, Laura Croft, Miss Piggy, and a dapper Sweeney Todd. Dr. Onstine graciously let us trash her house for the party. I had a designated driver. It was all good :)

Dia de los Muertos

I made an altar for Sunny and Gilligan for the Day of the Dead. Maybe I can tempt their spirits to come by and visit. I miss them both but this is a pretty happy project.

Egyptology Halloween Party

The Egyptology Graduate Student Association Halloween Party 2008.
I squeezed into the Xena costume and danced all night. Well. From 9:00 to 10:30.
I must catch the rhythm of Mid-East music.

Belly Dancin' Professors

Whoever said Egyptologists don't get down?
Dr. Corcoran and Dr. Ayad show us all how it's done.
