Sadly, the long-promised Tederikipedia project is stillborn. As much as it was truly hilarious to contemplate the site having its own wikipedia, from a management perspective, it was just turning into such a pain in the ass. I'm sure a few years down the line they'll have improved the tool to the point where yobs like me will be able to use it productively, but that time ain't now.

Sigh. This means I have to keep updating Jasper Online manually.

Things have been going pretty well lately, Internet. For one thing, I really feel like I'm "getting it done" at work nowadays; my recent switch in focus to instructional design has really reenergized my daily grind. O'course, this could just be honeymoonin', but we'll see. It feels right. (Or, as I was about to put, righter.) And my off-hours plate is full-ish, but not overwhelmingly so, and there are some new and interesting after-hours stuff getting started that I'm sure I'll be blogging about plenty in the coming months. On the whole (though this is premature) I would say that 2007 has been a pretty important year for me, personally.

Actually, why is it premature? If Hallowe'en is my "most wonderful time of the year" a la Christmas, then maybe I should start tallying my years as Nov 1 - Oct 31.

Nah, fuck it, that's George Bush thinkin'.

But in the meantime, and now that the cat is largely out of the bag, here is the updated list of everything I've ever been for Hallowe'en:

• A filthy little Arab (yeah: I grew up in those 1980s)
• Indiana Jones
• A wizard (my wand kicked ass. It was a clear tube of plastic that had green liquid and sparklies in it, which was the absolute height of cool when I was a kid.)
• Vincent from Beauty and the Beast
• Storm Shadow (I even did the red arm tattoo, which I was pretty damn proud of at the time)
• Batman (movie version, with black leather cowl... aw yeah)
• The Phantom of the Opera (the year where parents on the street started refusing me candy. It broke my 13-year-old heart.)
• The Grim Reaper
• Romeo (call me a cheeseball freak, but that could actually be my favourite picture ever taken of me with a girl... but then there's always:)
• Spike (which was... I mean, come on)
• Harry Potter
• Captain Jack Sparrow (which, no matter what anyone tells you over the course of the next three days, I have only been for Hallowe'en once)
• River (damn, that was an ugly idea)
• Clark Kent

What have we learned? Well, for one thing, partner yoga is the best yoga. Second: the ones who don't get it, ain't gonna. And third: I love Hallowe'en so much it makes my head spin. I've got next year's costume picked out already, and let me tell you, I'm a man of my word.

My wig finally arrived yesterday so I'm going to make such a delightful ass of myself at work tomorrow... work, Starbucks, the Snail, Burrito Boyz, and every other place I visit over the course of the day.
