There are a couple of people who would dress up on Halloween but they were both laid off yesterday.
Let that be a lesson to us all.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Wow, even Nature magazine is supporting Obama.
This journal does not have a vote, and does not claim any particular standing from which to instruct those who do. But if it did, it would cast its vote for Barack Obama.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I have yet to see anyone (human or pet) in a Halloween costume. Dunno what's up - I usually at least see some on the train.

For anyone who's looking for last night's Rachel Maddow interviw with Obama, Crooks and Liars has it.
I highly recommend watching it--it's probably the most informative interview I've yet seen with him.

Quite a few people in my office wore costumes today. (One of whom came in as a very awesome Supergirl.)
When asked about my costume, I replied that I was dressed as a TV writer. So now I'm taking extra cigarette breaks, surfing the internet and generally procrastinating.

HA! The OT people were in costume: a witch. A princess. Raggedy Ann. Except our OT came as herself because she deals with the littlest ones and didn't want to freak anyone out.

not your mom's socks.
I keep peeking in from what I'm supposed to be doing to see if Jilli has posted her costume yet...
anyone? Bueller?
I'm tempted to get a box and letter it so that I can go as the 'ESC' key.
but that needs to meet up with my motivation somewhere.

Halloween in our house is costume-less, unless we can somehow pretend that The Boy's hernia surgery is only a costume.
His schedule is all ferwonked because he's taking percocet which is making him sleep a lot, so he's sleeping when I'm awake, and then when I get ready to leave the house -- like to go VOTE -- he wakes up and requests food. And since he's a fairly un-demanding person, cumulatively, and since he takes really good care of me, I'm happy to get him food and such when he wants it.
(But I really need to leave the house, dang it, so that I can vote and go to the gym and the grocery store and get back in time for the trick-or-treaters, because I don't think the Boy will be able to sit on the porch and hand out candy. Especially in a nightgown.)

Dita Von Teese (probably spelled it wrong, my apologies) said she would wear jeans and a t-shirt today since that would be much more of a costume for her than anything else.

Someone asked what I was dresssed as (since I clearly wasn't.) "How about awake?"
