Timelies,

Not doing anything Halloween-ish tonight. Only got invited to one party and it sounds like a bust. (Host is more a friend of my younger brother than myself. No costumes. Sounds like it's going to be a bunch of folks 5-10 years younger than me sitting around getting drunk and playing video games. Plus, my gf hasn't been feeling particularly well lately (she went right back to sleep when I got up for work) and doesn't think she'd be in the mood for even a good party right now.)

IO-Halloween-News, I'm sitting at work, looking out the window and my town is doing their downtown business Trick-or-Treating right now. A couple just went past walking their two Great Danes. The black one was dressed as Batman and the gray one was dressed as Superman.

Sounds like you needed it.

For once, I've been up for a while, and am only now dressed and ready to....what. Not sure yet. I've got laundry, cleaning, de-cluttering, groceries and I still really should go clothes shopping.

I'll finish my lunch first.

Yeah, I gotta figure out my day, too. Laundry definitely figures, as well as a bunch of housecleaning 'cause the kiddos are coming over tomorrow.

And now a Stellar's jay has landed on my window and is pecking it. Related to sarameg's cardinal?

Hee. Edited to make her look crazy, and you know, not me.

My cardinal! Or does Theo have one too?

A bunch of sparrows were hanging out on my balcony earlier, driving Devi nuts.

I just had a cardinal in the window, actually. And earlier, a blue jay. And bunches of sparrows. Not coincidentally, I put some birdseed out what with the noreaster and all.

Help quickly, please...

Dh is at the store. Is the Battlestar Galactica mini-series included in the Battlestar Galactica Season 1 boxed set? He can't find season 1, and is set to buy the mini-series, but we eventually will buy season 1, so we don't want to pay for the mini-series twice.

I know someone told me this a week or so ago, but I can't remember.

Our landlady has a million feeders and birdbaths hung in the communal space here. So we have a ton of birds. It's one of the reasons I was so happy to live here. She does it at her resort, too.

Oh fun! What's it a fundraiser for? Is it just regular Halloween costumes or party/dress costumes?

It's regular Halloween costumes. It's a fundraiser for one of his theatre companies. Should be fun.

Yeah, I think so, Cindy. Someone more reliable than me can say, but I think it is included.

Thanks, Liese.

Anyone? I checked Amazon.com, but the kids were talking to me, and the write-up was long and nothing jumped out at me. I figured the hivemind was more reliable than my skimming skills.
