Heisenberg

I was out for Halloween and I saw a man dressed as high school chemistry teacher turned high-end meth producer Walter White from AMC's Breaking Bad. I love Breaking Bad! It's as addictive as I imagine meth would be. (If you haven't seen it, well... You really have no excuse. It's on Netflix.)

So of course, I did a hop-jump and gushed, "Walter White!"

He looked at me. "What's my name?"

"Walter White!" I squealed.

He didn't think this was the right answer. "What's my name?" he repeated.

I nodded and smiled as realization set in. "Heisenberg."

With that, he gave me my very own little baggie of blue meth rock candy.

Best costume ever. (Although I personally would rather not look busted up.)


P.S. On a semi-related note, I highly recommend costume malfunctions because it means you get to wear not one, but two costumes for Halloween! This wasn't a wardrobe malfunction a la Janet Jackson. It was an "I thought I had my costume from last year but I don't because I have the opposite problem of hoarding" malfunction. So the first night I borrowed my roommate's costume and the second night I got my own. Two costumes! Awesome. I'm doing this again next year.


What part of "closed" don't you get?

With the expected arrival of Hurricane Sandy tomorrow, New York City is preemptively shutting down all subways and buses tonight at 7 PM. Check out this post on NYU's Facebook page.



And you thought they were supposed to be smart here.

Conundrum

I'm having trouble falling asleep because I'm hungry but I don't want to get up to prepare food because I'm tired. This sad circular problem reminds me of the free Procrastination and Time Management seminar at school next week that I can't go to because I don't have time.
