I do love the puking pumpkin.
Just seeing those makes me feel like a holiday slacker.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's why it exploded. Zombies.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
ION, I saw a woman on the train today with a tattoo behind and somewhat below her ear. It was a skull-and-crossbones design, only instead of a skull it was Bert's head. (Yes, Bert of Ernie and Bert.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Goatse pumpkin!
No one's said anything about costumes at the new gig, and I ain't wearing even a shred of one. At the last place I made excuses real by scheduling meetings--for a change it was good--we couldn't wear jeans to meetings, we certainly couldn't wear costumes.

What kind of telescope, Liese?

I asked about costumes at the new gig, adn got little response (though there's a party in teh afternoon) so I think I'll just wear my devil horns, and black.
That's so classic. "What? I said terrorist -- it's on them if they heard tourist!"
Hee! That is seriously crazy, though, Kevin. Damn.

I miss carving pumpkins. I'm not enough of a holidayer to do one myself, but I have very fond memories of getting together with other families and having a pumpkin carving-fest. Honestly, my two big holidays are TG and Xmas. For family reasons, both kinds. It's been really important to create it with my new family and still keep the originals. I'd never have predicted that. And share 'em both with each other. Due to geographical constraints, it'd be nice to have third to celebrate stress-free with my brother. In the meantime, I'll just carve out time for him.
And I WILL make biscochos this year.
But I won't do a costume. This year. It's been years since I wore one. Last was Elphaba in greenface, a witch hat, leather pants and camo gear.
No one got it.

Oh, I missed the telescope talk. Liese, my dad has a nice spare that he might be willing to part with someday. If you ever end up in that area and know a good home for it, let me know. Actually, that goes for anyone.
Consultant in the midwest has been sending us pix he's taken through his. They are really cool.
And I've been looking up at the light-bright sky and sighing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I miss being able to see stars. Yet one more point against New Jersey.

I have an Edmund Scientific Astroscan, which is simple and sturdy and easy to use. It's good for exploring the Moon and showing people the rings of Saturn and the major moons of Jupiter.
