I have a 25 minute commute through expensive suburbia. I often ask myself, what do all these people do for a living?
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Full-on 1950s retro Donna Reed. I need to buy an apron. And white gloves. And cat-eye glasses with sparkly things in the frames would be cool, too.
LOVE IT! I'm going to suggest this to Linz next year. We're doing Alice in Wonderland. S as Alice. Linz as the Queen, and me as the cheshire cat. I need 2 pair of stripey stockings from Hot Topic, fur from joann's and maybe a wig and some contacts or teeth.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Every year I want to be either the Patchwork Girl of Oz or Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas; this year, like every other year, I have utterly failed to get my shit together, and I'll probably just be me.
Emmett is probably going to be Harpo Marx. We already have the comically outsized bicycle horn, but we need to find him an overcoat with lots of pockets, and possibly fake pinking shears and a blowtorch.

Emeline is going to be Pink Cthulhu.
Cool.
Leif is going to be a dragon and Emaryn is going to be a T-Rex with a big butterfly on it's chest. Sort of a girly T-Rex.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Maybe your university is like mine? State budget cuts and crunches and belt-tightenings have made it almost impossible for anyone to get a raise,
This is very true!
Also, strangely, I just found a very strange costume in my theatre stock which I can only assume is the Patchwork Girl of Oz. I said this to my students, and they didn't know who she was!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Sort of a girly T-Rex.
She'll still rip the flesh off of bones and stuff, right?

Of course, she'll just look pretty doing it.

Dressing up for Halloween presupposes having a reason to dress up, ie, a party or something. Around here, Halloween is considered an iffy holiday, primarily to give kids candy. Adults who want to do anything particular on the day are considered weird. Mayhap I'll take the day off, stroll through the cemetery a block a way, and leave lit candles around at sunset, when it closes.
