We always have around 200 trick-or-treaters. This year we gave out little glow sticks, which went over very well. We closed up at 8:30 and put up a "We are all out. See you next year!" sign. It was a very nice Halloween-lots of cute little ones and not too many annoying teens. One thing, I don't recall parents wearing costumes when I was young, but most of the parents accompanying their kids were in costume tonight. Is this an L.A. Thing or a 2012 thing?
Eggs. The living legend needs eggs. Or maybe another milk.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I would say that about half the parents I saw tonight were dressed up.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
The nice thing about tonight was that once I turned off the porch light, no one else came.
I don't recall any dressed up parents though.

So, I'm watching next week's Scandal while waiting for the Aleve to kick in (for some reason I decided to put on my bedskirt at 1AM and it didn't go well) and they're doing that tired old trope of trying to get diplomatic immunity revoked. In real life, that shit does not happen. The diplomat gets quietly PNGed and goes back to their country. Which is what happened in this case but with a lot more hoopla.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
What's PNG?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Papua New Guinea?

Sorry -- Persona non grata. Means that they are no longer welcome in the country.

Yeah, that case was never going to turn out differently.

Oh, okay, thanks! I should have known that.
I'm going to try to sleep now. Work is closed again tomorrow and I'm going shopping for trousers and shoes for England. I have nothing acceptable.

At Wicked tonight, they were fundraising for the Broadway Cares charity. $20 raffle tickets with a prize of getting a walk-on role in one performance of Wicked! Why yes, I bought one. Please oh please let me win. I swear I won't mug Elphaba for her hat OR Galinda for her wand. Swear.
