Hi. It's two am and I can't sleep.

I don't use a blow-dryer. If I did, my hair would be in the style of bozo the clown, and while the eighties are still coming back into fashion, I don't think it will go that far. (Then again, with Sienna Miller, who knows?)

Halloween isn't so big here. I don't know that anyone I know is going to do anything, really.

Oy, Fay, let's pop into Unamericans and talk about Christmas.

Nope. It's y'all that commercialised Hallowe'en. We didn't even do trick-or-treating until fairly recently.

Aw, poor Maria, Mr. Maria and Coco. I'm glad she's better now though. I hope she's giving you lots of love!

I went out to dinner with a potential/new friend. It was nice. I had three glasses of wine and I'm hoping for no dreams tonight.

Er, that was nope to the whole Halloween being big, rather than discussing Christmas. Although actually I'm Not Really Here, and must dash as kids will be surging in through my door any second now...

t's y'all that commercialised Hallowe'en. We didn't even do trick-or-treating until fairly recently.

Are you somehow implying that trick or treating is a BAD thing? Because it was probably my favorite day all year, as a child!!

Okay. If you get the chance later, natch.

I'm already kind of planning a Thankgiving dinner too. Just because I will miss it too badly otherwise.

I'm home. Yay for standby on earlier flight!

I walked into my apartment, though, and thought, "WHO RANDSACKED THE PLACE?!" And then I remembered.

That's how I left it.

Real life. Welcome back.

I am always dismayed when the House Elves fail to clean up when I am out of town.

Kinda wish they would empty, refill and run the dishwasher right now, actually.

I always get like that, too. Just, somehow, houses should be clean when you get home from vacation.

Ugh. I'm suddenly starving. I have no food, and no clean dishes. Do I go out and buy something, or trying to make something with the random stuff I've got here, or just ignore starvingness until breakfast?
