I just bought pillows from overstock, and am ridiciously proud of myself that I remembered to check the emails they keep sending me for coupons, because I saved a whole $6.90!
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

Because books.
It poured rain here this morning, but it looks like it might clear up in time for trick-or-treating. We still have to carve/paint pumpkins, too.

Skipping on the other side of shabbat, because according to the Buffista Calendar, today is DCJencen's birthday.
Happy birthday, Daniel! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
Also, IIRC, it's Jilli and Pete's anniversary, so lots of wishes for the both of them, as well!
And, of course, Halloween - what do you wish for that? Happy? Scary? Great-costume-y? Trick-or-treat-y? Whichever it is, I wish that to all of you who celebrate it!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Happy birthday Daniel and happy anniversary to Pete and Jilli!
We are carving pumpkins at some point today. Isaac would like that point to be right now.
So I think we are not seeing extended family for thanksgiving or christmas.
Is that a sad thing? I am always torn at holiday time between wanting to see my family and wanting to escape them.

“Not dead yet!”
Happy Birthday Daniel!
Happy Anniversary Jilli & Pete!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Instead, I have decided to get out and about by hiking on the appropriately named Mt. Diablo.
Well, you are invited to go trick or treating with Matilda tonight if you're feeling less ambitious.
There would probably be drinking and Charlie Brown too.
JZ is busily making Matilda's Foofa costume.

The injection site for my flu shot was aching last night, so I went to bed early... and didn't wake up again for 12 hours. Oops.
I don't think I'm doing anything for Halloween. I'll probably go outside for toilet paper and allergy meds, and I've got a volunteer meeting later. My mom sent me some pumpkin socks and candy.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
We're handing out candy tonight and then going to a zombie bar crawl in Northern Kentucky.
The Cat Club in San Francisco is having a Zombie Morrissey Night! To which I'm of course not going. I never knew until now that my lifetime Halloween experience will never be complete until I've danced to "Cemetry Gates" with a bunch of undead Smiths, but now it haunts me.

I'm not sure whether it's better or worse that it was actually last night.

Just as impossible either way. Such is the lot of the child-having (particularly when the child in question changes costume wishes every few days; last night we were roving Haight Street most of the evening scrounging Goodwill and craft stores for Foofa costume materials, so Zombie Morrissey was never even remotely possible).
