Hey all, I’m back. Check back every so often, I’ll try and have a nice “Kevtchy” post for you.

Considering the season that is upon us, I figured Halloween would be a great topic. Being an Illini myself, I see a hefty amount of orange as it is, but I’m about ready for this holiday to be over. Anyone else with me?

I mean, how many skeletons, cobwebs, decapitated heads, and orange pumpkins does a person need to encounter? I think this holiday season pretty much did me in.

This is the first Halloween since I was a kid that I’m actually going to be dressing up. Hypocritical? Perhaps. I figure if I participate, this holiday may pass sooner. I’m going to be dressing up as one of a few things, the actual decision hasn’t been made yet. I always wanted to be one of those clever costumes. My friend is being a cop, so I was thinking I could be the “Cover” or “Undercover” to her cop? Or the Rat…to the undercover cop role. If I was that, all I’d have to do is get a tail and ears. Do any of you have clever costume ideas?

According to The33tv.com the top costumes of 2009 include Michael Jackson, Kate Gosselin, Balloon Boy, Amy Winehouse, and Lady Gaga. I wouldn’t be surprised if you saw some rude Kanye’s or offended Taylor Swift’s.

I spoke to Sargent Robert Fitzgerald from the Urbana Police Department. They’re not expecting a lot of trouble this weekend, though Fitzgerald told me “we’ll have extra officers in our part of the city to deal with parties.”

Even though the cops aren’t worried, I would be. I guess the one costume I don’t recommend for this holiday weekend would be a 21 year old.

Have fun and be safe!
