Well, another Halloween has come and gone, and surprise surprise Browns Court wasn’t burned to the ground. I love this holiday more than any other, I think.

I mean sure, Christmas is cool and all, being all warm and fuzzy, goodwill towards men and the presents thing, but there’s always the religious overtones. Halloween is a pure expression of an excuse to patty and it just gets better every year. It’s just as awesome as when I was a kid, except now the costumes are better and instead of getting sick on candy people get sick off booze.

Anyone that didn’t at least stop by the Halloween Pub at the wave last week was missing out. Literally hundreds of people dressed as everything from the creepy doll in Saw to Bert and Ernie, Rainbow Brite and I’m pretty sure I saw

superman getting arrested.

There was also more Super Heroes, famous people and fairies/ angels/crayons than you could shake a stick at. Not to mention the usual run of ‘slutty cowgirl’ ‘slutty nurse’ and so on that come out every year. I love how these girls can take a fairly unexciting career and make it a costume just by putting the word ‘slutty’ in front of it. I’m not being sarcastic either, I really do love it.

A friend of mine told me she was

going as a slutty witch, and when I asked |

her if that meant her magical ability was giving guys genital warts, she hit me. What’s up with that?

I would like to give a shout out to The Wave staff and especially the bouncers, who had to deal with a metric ton of shit and handled it with their usual good humour and patience. We’ve

Those of you who take your cars to school, you understand what I mean by the term “parking lot wars.” Classes all start at the same time and I often run into the same people looking for parking spaces. Well, here is where the war starts.

There’s one person that has a class the same time as me and she has proven herself to be the champion of stealth when it comes to stealing parking spaces. I am not as aggressive as fellow parking space hunters, and when I manage to spot someone coming for their car, I tend to drive around and wait for them to leave. Big mistake.

A good tip for those of you who suck at parking lot wars as much as I do — follow people to their cars and wait for them to back out. That’s my problem, I don’t follow students to their cars because I am afraid to look like a stalker

ora pervert. I have followed people a

few times to their car and I have gotten a few dirty looks in return. Just for the record, I am not a stalker or a pervert... I am a desperate student who doesn’t want to be late!

An easy remedy for finding a parking spot, some say, is to park by Blanchard. I do this quite often, but I must say, when all my classes are on the other side of campus, those heels aren’t doing anything for me. By the time I hike to class, I look like I have something stuck... well you know where I’m going with that one.

Either way, I will win the war as there are many battles left until the end of the semester.

Another tip for those of you who are unaware, the parking lot is not an F1 race track. There is no need to draft

people and certainly no need to go so damn quick around the corners. Now ! know some of you ladies like the big bag lady sunglasses, but for goodness sakes, take them off if it looks like it’s as dark as 2 a.m. at noon.
