Weekend plans: Buffy Halloween ep watching, which I may have already mentioned here; possibly the pumpkin carving mentioned by Calli; dinner tonight is Buffalo Wings.
'Touched'
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
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.
Unless you're in this group and severely allergic to eggs, in which case the shot isn't an option.
I feel like I heard on NPR that there's an egg-free injectable version, but I can't swear that that's true. (Plus, if it does exist, I imagine the supplies are very, VERY low.)
Oh! And the annual bellydance Halloween party, aka Haflaween. 'Tis my favorite event all year. I'm not dancing, but I'm happy to just watch and eat the goodies. And probably see how many skull/bone-related articles of clothing I can wear at once.
This weekend I am coordinating a LibraryThing flash mob to catalog the Classics department's collection of 2200+ books. With 4 librarians, 6 faculty members, an unknown number of grad students, and 8 undergrads. It will also be the 7th day in a row I'll have been at work.
It could be cool, or a disaster. I'll know by noon tomorrow.
Weekend:
- Fri: Dinner with MiL
- Sat: Echo and the Bunnymen
- Sun: Tegan & Sara
- (Mon: Tegan & Sara)
I may have overscheduled my almost 8 months pregnant self...
Gah, we have no Halloween candy! We've been remiss in the stocking up. Fortunately it should start being on sale soon, even if the kids end up with mini-boxes of Dots or off-brand smarties and such.
Flash mob cataloging! You ARE library 2.0!
Gardening, cleaning, maybe a movie, then on Sunday, Pilates followed by working in the office. Oh, yeah, and laundry. Not by most thrilling weekend ever, I have to say.

FINALLY: Star Wars Tauntaun Cake [Geeky Cake]
For years I’ve made offerings–i.e., small children sent to the heavens via weather balloon–to the Interweb Gods in hopes of a pixel-based delivery of a Star Wars cake in the form of an eviscerated tauntaun. Years.
Finally, by way of reader Tamara N., I received this tauntaun groom’s cake created by Cake Nouveau for the wedding of Star Wars fans Chris and Julie.
