This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Over the past half hour or so, maybe 10-12 more kids came by. We are definitely going to have a lot of candy left.

My across-the-street neighbor just had friends show up, so they have a merry band of people on her porch with beer and candy. Good times.

I'm packing it in at 8:00 exactly, because we have a zombie crawl to go to.

I'm doing it. I'm eating a Snickers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm not sure how my supermarket worked out where I live. I have a rewards card, but I never filled the form out. They've been mailing me coupons (and telling me on my bill a $10 coupon is on its way) anyway. Cross referencing with my debit card I suppose.

I have beefed up my Netflix Instant Watch queue and will curl up with this headache for the rest of the day.

I just gave out my last mini-sized bar. At one point I had Darth Vader and Obi-Wan trick or treating together.

Oz found the whole thing very exciting, and was waiting for people at the door: [link]

He also tried to get into the box of candy at one point.

We've had I'd guess about 70-75. I lost count. Still coming. Best costumes were a group of middle school girls from the neighborhood - some really creative and artistics ones - and twin African-American Doras with big pompadour wigs.

Loki ran up the stairs each time, but Devi actually stayed out and watched, which is so unlike her. I do think she was unnerved because at one point she came and sat on my lap and she never does that. Ever.

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

Oz is a big kitty.

CTV, one of the national networks is showing the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It seems a little odd. I wonder what those playing along at home will do for audience participation fun during the commercials.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Perkins the cat (17 or 18 lbs at least) has developed a new habit of wanting to get the exact same attention Ditaboo (maybe 8 lbs) just did, which is great if it's just getting pet for a minute or so, but not so great when it comes to walking across my boobs to curl up against my neck.
