It was a bash, an Antarctic Mash.

Halloween has come and gone here at McMurdo Station. Things were fun, many laughs were had. Here are some highlights of this holiday:

I came home one day to a Zombie attack warning on my door. It was later made even better by someone (naming no names) writing in on Zombie Saunas.

The Haunted house! Yes. Antarctica had a Haunted house, and it was actually really awesome, even better than some I've gone to back home. I even got tickled. Many laughs were had and even a few screams.

I got to go to work in my costume! Albeit it was a serve safe version (i.e. no feathers, head-wrap, non-slip shoes) but I got to do it none-the-less. It was great and it was getting so many fun comments all day. For those of you that don't know I went as a Warrior from the movie The Warriors. Soooo good. I still don't have a picture of the back patch on my leather vest, but I'll get that real soon.

The costume party!! Man that was so much fun, and hilarious!! We drank a few beers and were on our way to the bash. It was pretty cold getting there, especially since none of us wore jackets, but whateves it was totally worth it. I danced like no other, and lived it up. Here are a few photos from there:


this is me and danny


this is Alex, Kendra, Chris, and T-Rav


I was so stoked about this guy! He was dressed up as a Baseball Furie, and if you've ever seen the Warriors he's from one of the gangs my gang fights!!!!

All in all it was a great night and I had so much fun. Yay for Halloween! People here really go all out for it in their costumes, which was great.

And now I'm on holiday, so I had yesterday and today off. We get our holiday now since we have to work on Thanksgiving, which is kind of a bummer but oh well its gotta be done.

Yesterday I went for a nice walk by myself and wen't over to Hut point and saw the seal thats been there for a while. It was nice to see an animal, since I haven't in about three weeks.

Its hard to makeout but that black blob is the seal.


So yup that's the skinny on things thus far. I'm now going to go and relax a bit more on my day off! Till next time!
