Today I had a monumentally important third-year paper presentation in front of the faculty. It was important largely because it is a first impression of how well I can do research. The faculty do talk about us amongst themselves and word gets out if you're stupid and/or lazy. Hopefully, that was not the message I conveyed.
Anyways, after the presentation and subsequent talking to professors, I took a walk over to the Halloween parade on 6th Ave in the village. As usual there were some very elaborate costumes. A few years ago, I saw a full Cinderalla getup complete with a pumpkin-shaped chariot covered in lights.
This year I didn't see anything quite that elaborate. But there were some very interesting highlights. My favorite float was the z100fm float. They had some dancers on the float that were, shall we say, "well dressed." I have a picture I took on my cell phone camera, although I have to admit it's terrible quality.
My favorite costume had to go to this group of people that held up mock "gates." I thought it belittled the monumental waste of money in the name of art that was "The Gates." I'm glad they are gone from the park. Good riddance.
