Early Halloween

As Lauren mentioned in a comment thread down below, most of this past weekend was spent moving the last bits of stuff from our old apartment over to our new place. Cleaning the old place was no fun at all, especially the balcony. I never want a balcony or porch again until I have a hose hookup, it is too disgusting to clean otherwise. Anyway we are basically done over there now which is a relief. Unpacking will take a bit but at least that is somewhat enjoyable.

We did have some time for fun this weekend, Saturday night we went to a Halloween party thrown by one of Lauren's classmates. This is the party where in a previous year we went as the "Macho Man" Randy Savage and the beautiful Miss Elizabeth, although this year we were costumeless. Lauren had her annual "how does dry ice work" conversation with Tom the chemistry PhD candidate, who always makes a witch's brew punch at this party. That is becoming quite a nice tradition.
