Fay sighting! Hello, love, and go you on the making the gym a Not Scary place! And it's good to see people happy with their hair.

GAWjuss family Smay-Zmayhem--handsome menfolk, winsome woman, cunning hat! But not one pic of the shooooz!

Also, aDORable goth!baby Em. The black velvet leggings would set the shirt off to perfection. Em needs a wee version of JZ's cunning hat.

In a burst of I-Can't-Wait-Till-Howl-Comes-Out-on-dvd-ness, I watched adult swim last night, and filled up my Netflix queue with some stuff. It's all StY's and DH's fault--they brought home Ghost in the Shell, Akira and Appleseed. Hooked. I'm definitely hooked.

Ooh! What did you get? What did you get?

My Halloween costume, such as it was.

Closeup of my retro(ish) makeup and random hair.

Also, damn it, I have no cream for my coffee. (I once met a man who had no cream, and then I met a man who had no coffee.)

I love it, Teppy! I like the combo of white-gloves-and-pearls with apron-and-wooden-spoon. Great job on the makeup, too.

I was a 1950s housewife. I even baked pumpkin bread and took it with me.

Oh, Steph! So fun! I love it.

So, I'm feeling shitty. My throat is just raw from all the coughing, and now I'm getting a headache from it all. Why did this have to happen during the weekend when my only option is the ER? I don't feel like making trips two days in a row.

Yup. That photo reminded me very much of a picture that Anne Taintor might use on one of her cards.

Fay! Babe, sorry I missed you. The interview's in press...they're just being kind because my life is shit, I think, but I hope you like it anyway. I watched "Say Anything" with commentary yesterday. Cutest commentary ever.Even beats out Clark Johnson on H:LOTS season four and Domenic West's cute London vowels.(Although the story about DW, Londoner, getting the story from his TV partner about why you might not want to stand up in an audience of black Americans and say the next season will be a "real cracker" is still a classic.)

Right now 3 good friends live in our building and another lives a few houses away on our street and a fabulous new deli/coffeeshop place has opened a scant few yards away from our building - it's becoming surprisingly like 'Friends', with our very own Central Perk.

Awww! Can I just say how very much fun Fay and her friends are, and how much I really wish I were hanging out with them in Cairo again? It sounds like a blast!

Very amusing costume on Teppy. hee. After working for 12 hours Wed/Thurs/Fri, and being at work 13 hours yesterday (not really "working" for all of it) I borrowed a pitchfork from a coworker, put on horns, and wore a blue dress, to be a "devil with a blue dress on". But then I only managed to stay at the party for like, an hour, and pooped out and came home. It's COLD in my house right now, and I turned on the heat, but it doesn't seem to have turned on, so I might need to go tell it to be warmer. Hmph.

And another thing? I want to be the girl people *flirt* with, not the girl people talk about recycling with. IJS. (Artifact of the party last night. What is it about me that inspires people to talk about garbage?)
