Halloween is here. Lets see your best costumes!

Given how Orange County can sometimes be on Halloween, I took great care in choosing my costume this year. And given that I am a succubus, I had to take advantage of that fact. So I decided a pirate would be a safe bet. Though I'm not certain that my wife will let me out of the house to go to work today.

Alright, this ghost in the machine crap needs to stop sooner or later. I swear if my metal arm breaks out into the YMCA one more time I'm going to have to rip it off. This is getting exhausting, but at least it's not trying to kill me or something?

We all knew it would come to this.

My arm and I have parted ways. It wasn't me, it was really my arm. And basically everything else in my apartment.

After this, I might need to rethink my connection with electronics and robotics.

Until then, I've got the Majestic Sand Beast and we're gonna find a pond and Thoreau this nonsense.

But I'm keeping the phone. How will I know when this is over?

Just a reminder to all of the parents and kids going out candy-hunting tonight: Don’t go trick-or-treating with any vampires – they can be a real pain in the neck!

Sending out a warning to any trick-or-treaters in the Irvine area. If you see a... well... monster-like truck, please let me know. My pickup seems to be... alive. DO NOT get in front of it; someone apparently put teeth decals on the grill yesterday and today those fangs are very real. It already ate through my neighbor's mailbox on its way down the street.

Again, if you see this truck, do not approach and contact me directly. Thank you.

Now, I've heard people's houses being egged on Halloween, but I've never seen this before. I woke up this morning to find my lawn covered in Alien eggs. Actual eggs from the movie Alien. I'm trying to figure out if this is Orange County doing its usual thing or if it's something else. Either way, it's incredibly disconcerting.

At first I had thought that it was just the technology problems that people have been having, but given how I was so rudely stood up last night, I'm thinking that there might be a less magical cause to the fact that my water is suddenly running green.

Kudos, Loki. I tip my hat to you.

Well damn. Looks like this stupid Halloween OC shenanigans got me in the end after all.

My truck decided to have a mind of its own and start rollin' up and down the block like a damn...zombie, is my best guess. I mean, it was slow as hell and makin' all kinds of noises. Even kept moving despite the fact it was OFF and the brakes were engaged - which means I need new brakes. And tires.

I had to bust each one just to keep the damn thing from runnin' over trick or treaters.

So far Pandemonium's grand opening has been going better than expected. There's still plenty of time to come down and celebrate with us. It's 18+ and we have great drinks, music and plenty of room to dance.

I've closed my lab. It's quarantined until I can get to the bottom of this.

All the pictures of my dog came out blurry. He doesn't like to stand still for the camera, I guess? But I got one of his collar. And Rose and I passed out candy to trick-or-treaters as Daphne and Fred, which was pretty cool. We nearly had the whole gang! And we would have gotten away with it, too! If it wasn't for those pesky kids!
