Mundane Halloween is back!

Japan does Halloween better than anyone, but best of all is the annual "mundane Halloween" contest sponsored by website @dailyportalz.

The point is to dress up as something super ordinary.

Here are some of my favorites from this year...

Innovation happens every day in our backyard…

Sparkstoberfest!

@edentimm I avoid the problem by saying, “hey put some easing on that”

Such a loss and too soon!

Our bags (with apple air tag) are in CDG. We are in ZUR. They never made the transfer from @Delta to @FlySWISS. We’ve been watching 🐻 sit in #CDG for two days without moving. He’s getting pretty bored and we would like our hiking boots.

@NMGasparini Held it together with a splitting headache and chills during the talk (only 6 people attended, 3 of which were the committee) and then bolted to the bathroom to puke my guts out right after.

@NMGasparini OWG Committee member picked me up, gave me his personal tour of town for 2hrs then took me to lunch at his favorite hole in the wall and I got food poisoning during my artist talk that afternoon.

@C_Broome I’ve biked there a few times and felt like I was risking my life with the construction and traffic. However once that new bike trail goes in it will be a game changer and they will need more racks

@Pojemotion That’s excellent! Space never looked so good!

[CIRCA at UMBC @CIRCA_UMBC]

@esaumccaulley Definitely. The thought of putting on a dress and tights for a day at school has little appeal anymore. I still try to dress a little bit professional but more inclined towards casual slacks and a loose shirt.

My latest piece for the New York Times is about animated features in this awards season that deal with mature themes. Read more about them here: https://t.co/ceUiNMMg1d

@prof_gabriele I pretty quickly learned with my students that the more ungraded mini-deadlines I gave them in a long term project the better it was for all of us. They need something to pop up in their LMS calendar or they will just focus on other classes.

@ReadTheSyllabus @ass_deans A number of people in my dept have started using the following during summer break: “Hello! I am off contract until August 23. If you need timely assistance please contact the office…” (most of us are on 9mo contracts)

I sat down with @SunChaseMedia1 and talked about my solo show at Montpelier Arts Center. Even though I cringe at the thought of being in front of the camera instead of behind it, I love how this came together! https://t.co/Nse2q6yzgf
