You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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.)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

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?"

Guy next door has been a skeleton, a monkey, a werewolf and a frankenstein thing. Today.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Best costume ever, Y/N?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Some of my coworkers are dressed up today. Those with small children brought them in and I had a small bowl of candy on my desk so they could trick-or-treat.

I have a costume for after work and wore the witch's hat part of it this morning.

That child has the perfect expression.

Good lord, I'm having an attack of the sleepies. My typing sucks.
