FINALLY!
It took all month, but my costume is finally finished! I decided to use my artistic skills to paint a gigantic self portrait but leave the face entirely blank. This way, I can cut a hole in the canvas and put my face through it like a living picture!
I’m really proud of the way my costume turned out. It took a lot of work, but it was worth it. I know I’m not the only person who thinks Halloween is worth the trouble. I mean, just look at what some of the faculty members are doing! I don’t know how they did it, but Commander Omni is dressing up as a server and Betty, Maya, and Keen as computers tethered to her by network cables. That’s right, they’re dressing up as a network for Halloween! I hope they’ve got a good firewall!

The Compromise
I’ll admit it; I was so focused on National Cybersecurity Awareness Month that I didn’t come up with any costume ideas for Halloween. Thankfully, Alan picked up my slack and had a few fabulous ideas. He knew I would want our costumes to match, so he had a short list of suggestions that would make us both happy. After ruling out some of the weirder costumes (sorry, Alan, but there’s no way I’m going to be the backside of a centaur costume), we reached an agreement. We decided to go with a mummy and an archaeologist!
Now we’re both happy! Alan gets to be a scary ancient mummy and I get to be the fearless explorer that discovers him! I just hope I don’t get cursed like those Egyptologists that discovered King Tut…
