Uh oh. The OC comes back this week. (Speaking of soap operas....) Am I going to give it another shot? Or will that just make me hate myself more?
STAY TUNED.
Spike: I'm not a monster. Xander: Yes! You are a monster. Vampires are monsters! They make monster movies about them! Spike: Well, yeah. Got me there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now tagless for your comfort.
We went through about 7 bags of candy--which is pretty typical for us. Not too big of a crowd on account of the craptastic cold, rainy weather. Lots of Spidermen and Supermen. Owen used his costume from last year (elephant) which fits him better now that he's actually a 2T. He wore it all around the house this evening and when we went to the three houses next door.
Then his feet got wet and my back hurt too much to carry him. DH kept Liv back at home to pass out the loot. She was a fire fighter. I'm uploading pictures right now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I saw an OC promo quite by mistake on the Fox site while jobhunting, and it kinda drew me back in. We shall see. To much of the merry adventures of Mini Coop will be offputting.

I think I'm giving OC up. Unless GA makes me give it up. And CSI. It's vcr hell.
WHAT is the matter with these fucking teenagers ?! I listened to the cops convo with them. If I'd been the cops, their asses would be in a sling. Fucking disrespectful jackasses. I was really impressed by the cops, they knew how to talk to them, interspersing the conversation with discussions of how they'd busted these other teens who are now in juvie. Did take the wind out of the teens' sails. But still. Mouthing off they way they were? Shit.

Egads! I just saw the preview for CSI. Gah--Alan Tudyk as a child molester! The preview showed Grissom interviewing him to get his advice, a la Hannibal Lecter. I hope I can stand to watch it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Whoo! I just had to make an emergency candy run; the SO desperately held the fort while I went. When I got back, he was down to one fortune cookie and was about to start handing out dollar bills.
Now, of course, it's quieted down a bunch, so maybe that was the rush and we're going to have all the rest of this candy left. I say that, so that kids will come and we'll have just the right amount of candy, and I won't, you know, eat it all.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
We had a few trick or treaters- you'd think that in Salem, there would be tons, but Salem at Halloween is very much for grownups, and if I were a parent, I wouldn't want my kids out after 7. But we gave some candy away- I obsessed about how much candy to give away, and am convinced that one little girl thinks I am a cheapskate. But... but... it's not good for them! And it was very early on, I didn't know how things would shake out! And then I realized I was freaking out over what an 8 year old thought of me.
Funniest costume moment:
Me, to a 7ish-year-old: Are you a Pilgrim
7-year-old: NO! I'm a COLONIAL GIRL!
her 13 year old sister: That's the SAME THING, dummy!
OK, it was funnier in person, and when I actually tell the story. You'll have to trust me on that.
