One group of kids. Hubby is appeased but not content. There are several herdlets of candy scavengers still prowling the neighborhood.
Mal: How drunk was I last night? Jayne: Well I dunno. I passed out.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I need something to do. Someone should tell me that it shouldn't be shoe shopping.

Turns out, my complex put on a parade of kids in costume and residents signed up to be designated candy givers for the route (I guess the notices were up when I was out of town.) Of course, it was at 4 pm, so I would've totally missed it anyway. But a nice plan, anyway. The new managers are certainly trying.

What is even happening?
It is a really nice plan, but 4 pm?

Kids don't tend to make it up to my floor. But one of the IT guys brought his 1 year old son in to work today, in a dragon costume. So cute!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, Shawn. There's no good way to get to your house tonight, huh.
Also an ugh for msbelle who works too late.
OK, it seems like I only had to blow off the one set of kids. That's something, anyway.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Standoff: One passing reference to oxygen being flammable I can sigh and dismiss. Having the villain open the valves on a cart of oxygen bottles, and then ignite them into a fiery explosion with a pistol shot is just too much. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
