There was also a Wonder Woman last night, and a Silk Spectre (I), and the Punisher. Oh, and V from V for Vendetta. It was comics-tastic!

There was a handful of really amazing steampunk costumes that I wish I could have gotten pictures of -- the level of detail and the quality of the clothes was outstanding. I kept making geebly noises every time they walked by.

Tim really does rock the business suit, Tep. Not a sentence I ever thought I'd say about anyone, but he truly does look quite stylin'. And the S-shirt reveal is even better.

Matilda's curled up on the couch in her Wonder Woman costume watching Harry Potter. I'm really concerned that it's going to be worn to bits long before Halloween night ever comes.

I'm biased, but I think he looks very fine in a suit.

I agree with your assessment, Teppy.

The Clark Kent-Superman costume looks great! As do the Handmaiden and the Highlander.

Yesterday I goofed off and caught Red with smonster and others. Today I'm attempting to Clean All the Things, so naturally my back chose today to act up. I got things to the point where I can run the roomba, so I'm laying on the sofa, waiting for the ibuprofen to kick in, letting the robot handle my housework for a while.

You live in the future!

It's nice here. Ice cream is now good for you and the Misha Collins party has consolidated its hold on the Senate and the House.

I in no way mean to take any lustre from Tim, who looks very dapper in a suit, but JZ do you really mean that men don't rock them?

People who can't tell the difference between a communist and a modern social democrat probably are every bit as knowledgeable as the people with the capital want them to be.

That's what I told my brother after he accused me of having drank the commie koolaid.

Thanks everyone!

billytea, you two made a good lookin' human there.

This is the sort of thing I never get tired of hearing. Or telling Wallybee. Each night we pop in while he's sleeping to check he's ok, not too hot or cold or anything. At least, that's the excuse, but it's really because the highlight of my night is seeing my little sleepyhead and thinking, "Look what we did!"

Oh, milestone news: he has a new hobby, standing up on his own. He was standing up for about a count of six before collapsing giggling into your arms. (For some reason he stays up longer when we count in Chinese.) However, when Wallybee pulled out the camera , he was so distracted that, as far as I can tell, he simply forgot to fall over. (Sadly, the photos were blurry. But soon.)

There has been a step or two. He still hasn't worked out how to stand up on his own - he needs a vertical surface (daddy legs are a favourite) I would say that he'll be walking by the time Wallybee's parents return. (I hope they've been working out).
