Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

I really thought that I had matured past the point of procrastinating when it came to schoolwork. But, here I am again, just like I was when I was getting my bachelors, not starting my take-home midterm until 1:30 am the night/morning that it's due. At least I have it done now that it's 6:00 am!

I used the MARC catalog entry for Will the Vampire People Please the Lobby? for examples of variable fields and subject headings, which was fun.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Tiny Vaders are always cute.

Yes, they are.

Of course, it's damned sad that there's a need or that people feel there's a need to do that.

I don't think it's damned sad at all. Or no more damned sad than a Buffista F2F, because it comes out of the urge to celebrate with people who are part of a community to which you belong.

The trunk or treat at St. Bede's happens after mass (not that we go!) and the youth ministry has many cars decorated for a contest (scariest) and they have cider and cupcakes and music and games. It's like a church festival and it's open to the public. I thought it was pretty charming, especially because I HATE going house to house.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fuck, I really need to start doing shit. If not work, at least laundry. OK, laundry.

One of my classmates is going to be at the Giannoulias rally tonight and since her sister is working for the guy's campaign, she's going to be standing on the stage about four feet from Obama.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Jesse, you and laundry are EPIC. Makes me laugh everytime you post. When you find a husband, you really should find someone who like doing laundry.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Well, what I meant by that is that it's a sad thing that people feel their neighborhoods aren't safe.

That would be ideal! Fucking laundry. It is the bane of my existence.

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

Hi, guys. Not raining in Vancouver, so I might get to see it this time.

I haven't been here in five years. It's too long.

Having fun.

But apparently I've been spotted as a kid-hater so I will have to give out candy on Halloween. I'm not sure why I got busted. Admittedly, strange kids are strange, but recently I've been all about the baby toes and the dogs licking their noses. I think I should get a pass.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My husband does laundry. It's heavenly.

He also takes small children to the zoo on mornings when I'm too worn out from being pregnant to do anything more than lounge around in my jammies. But for some reason I foolishly offered to go grocery shopping while they were out, which means putting on outside pants. Why on earth would I have said that??

We've got a full plate of Halloween activities tomorrow - there's the kids parade in our neighborhood followed by a little trick or treating on the way home, followed by trick or treating in our building followed by people coming back to my place for a wee potluck & party. I bought crafty things so the kids can make egg-carton spiders.
