My plan this year for Halloween--slightly dented by virtue of having no plans for Halloween-- was going to be either (a) if I had no time to put something together and/or came straight from work, to go as Liz Lemon, because I own the half of her wardrobe that doesn't bare cleavage or (b) Little Edie Beale, because shopping for that would be the funnest ever. I already have a skirt that I was going to wear as a turban; the hardest part would be finding the broach.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.
'Dirty Girls'
Natter 54: Right here, dammit.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So who here has has someone think you were in costume when you were just dressed the way you normally do? (Besides Jilli.)
When I was in college I had really long hair. Plus I wore round glasses and a black leather motorcycle jacket. So on Halloween I did get a few people asking what I was. One guessed Joey Ramone.

t tangent I went and visited some of the other editors. One of them walked up behind me and said, "Jillian, wearing your regular clothing doesn't count as a costume."
I turned around, to display a lot of blood splashed on my blouse and smudged on my face, at which point she jumped back and uttered a stifled shriek. I think this means I win.

I think someone said boo too loudly at my database and it fainted. It's gone completely screwball! And everyone is leaving early to take their kids trick or treating. Fun! The new people are getting their first taste of "when things keep going very wrong."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Or else it's tricking you in hopes of a treat.

Give it some nice, sweet data - maybe that'll satisfy it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jilli for the win!
I got a compliment on my stripey tights (which is also a win for Jilli, really) but I haven't made much of an effort. Hell, enough people at work have seen my in pieces of my Saturday outfit that they probably wouldn't call that effort either. But to wear it all at once? Totally effort.
I'm trying to download brainstorming software (brainstormsw.com) and it keeps stalling at the same place each time. Grr. Aargh.

I don't know if it has been mentioned before, but this is a comprehensive and high quality report on diet and lifestyle aspects of preventing cancer. It's a good summary of the available science, done in an accessible way. I'm impressed.
