I’m not sure what to do about Hallowe’en this year. With the new job, the move, and the wedding, I’ve run out of time to pull together a costume that I’d actually like once I was done making it.
In which case, I’ve decided to just buy a costume this year. Because I have a job and can.

I’m stuck, however, on what I should actually be. I’ve browsed the costumes sites, ebay, etc, and have come up with few ideas.
My options seem to be:
a) get a costume that I like the look of and think would be fun to wear, like Saber but that no one around me (coworkers, most friends) exept Josh who suggested it a while back, would really know who/what it’s supposed to be (I could very well be surprised, however…) .
b) get a “traditional” costume, or at least an easily recognisable costume, and at the moment I’m thinking that would be a Star Trek costume (DS9 Science Officer, if anyone cares), because at least it would be easy to move around in.

Most costumes marketed for Hallowe’en wear are low-quality and they look it, so I’d rather not be one of those.

Either of those sound good? I’m also open to new suggestions! ^_^
I’m just sick of my default costume being a cat, because I still have the ears/tail I picked up years ago when I had no costume, and every year that I don’t have time to come up with something good (aka every year for about the past 5) I’ve just done that. It’s boring, and for once I have time to get a good costume (if not actually make one this year).

Also, is anyone having a Hallowe’en party or anything this year? Josh and I had wanted to host one, and do a dual housewarming/Hallowe’en party with all your local(ish) peoples, but at the moment we don’t think we’ll have the house in order by that time (not getting home from work until 7pm and taking a distance ed course means things get unpacked and sorted very slowly) so we probably won’t be able to. We will host one next year, and it’ll be a costume party (don’t worry, there’ll be alcohol) so consider yourselves warned. ^_~

Edit: the subsequent dumping of $1000 into my car today (brakes + steering rods that ruined the brakes) probably means I now must scale down my plans of buying a costume, and will probably end up in a cheap Trek jumpsuit. Go me. *sigh*
