A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

That sounds like a completely fin tour, David! I haven't been to London since 1993, so...

We had no trick or treaters last year so I didn't buy candy this year. Which means we'll probably get slammed. Oh, well.

Jilli, @@.

Cold going into full-on body aches and stupidity. Glad I got some good progress done on work earlier; NSM on the F2F client meeting tomorrow at 9am. He switched it from 11 am to 9 -- ugh. Although I am very glad to have the work; just...cold.

I foresee much hot tea and cold medication, and miserable hunkering down over the laptop tomorrow.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Apparently I am a Very Bad Pagan for getting married on Samhain. Pffft, whatever.

Is Beltane a better season to marry in?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Daniel!

Happy Anniversary Jilli and Pete!

Waiting for trick-or-treaters to show up...

Well, techincally, Cashemere, yeah. It's all about fertility, growth and new beginnings. Samhain is technically about the death of the old year and the onset of winter, and ya know, the veils between the living and dead worlds being so thin as to allow wandering.

But it's a perfectly appropo time for Jilli and Pete. I don't think there's any "tainting" going on. After all, getting married on May Day or Midsummer's doesn't guarantee a happy marriage.

I think in every walk of life, there are people who go about looking for an excuse to be offended/feel superior.

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

I think that every day of the year would be offensive to someone if you got married that day.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I was buying candy at 5:15 today. I figured I had my best shot at not eating it all if it wasn't here too long.

What's wrong with new beginnings on what's essentially pagan New Year?

Calli, have you ever gotten a trick-or-treater here at The Compound? Because I never have. I always thought it was because of the busy-road-no-sidewalk thing. And with the bad weather, I figured we'd definitely not get any. If we do, I'm hiding, because I don't have anything. OOPS.

JenP - Oct 31, 2011 1:27:50 pm PDT #4034 of 30001

Pffft, whatever.

Exactly.

This is not a trick or treating house. It's tucked behind the church, off the road. Sad now.

If I live in an apartment complex next, I'm totally going to plan a thing where people can opt in to get tick-or-treat visits from the kids in the complex.
