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.

steampunk guitar

I can't pin down why that guitar doesn't scream steam at me. A little heavy on the punk, I guess. Not enough rounding, I think.

One year I should have a party where the idea is to wear the most banal "sexy" costume possible. Sexy Toll Collector. Sexy Paralegal. Sexy DMV Employee. Sexy Supreme Court Justice.

I'm still trying to figure out a Sexy Burqua. Some crazy sheer fabric, a friend with a light, and a merry widow beneath?

One friend at the party was dressed as a sexy race car driver. I'm thinking "Really?

Yeah, that one works better for boys: [link]

Thanks Rick, that's really helpful.

I am waiting for my adorable pirate to get here. Then we wander my office halls.

I'll have a bonus Jilli, too!

First Trick or Treaters were at 6pm. Total so far: 13. Photos from park extravaganza to follow as family demands allow.

Smokey and The Bandit. [link] Their little sister is Angelina Ballerina (her name is Annabel and I think she looks a lot like Susan W.'s, except blonder).

Does Nilly know about this?

17?

The 17 is a self proclaimed secret society that has been advertising itself throughout campus with chalking and flyers. The group recently sent an e-mail to Broadside with more information about the group’s goals and motives.

The 17 entered the social consciousness of the Mason community last Monday morning with the scrawling of “17” in chalk across the Fairfax campus. The 17 also posted flyers and sent out a cryptic e-mail calling themselves “The 17 at Bailey’s Crossroads” to a select group of Mason students, faculty and administration members.
