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.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

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.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Flash mob cataloging! You ARE library 2.0!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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.

Our wings are not tired.
I wonder if I could talk the boys into being balloon boys for Halloween.
This weekend: Tonight - picking up parental units from airport as they snowbird back to Florida. Rest of weekend - attempt to make home habitable again because insane work schedule has resulted in horror scene.
