It's just getting dark here, I haven't heard any activity out on the streets. Hubby's up front to do candy duty. I've put together a small candle circle. A small chair from a miniature house setup is in the middle of it, for the comfort of whatever spirits care to visit.
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Aww, man, the Pandora Halloween station I'm listening to just threw the BtVS theme at me! Kinda sniffly now!

For Jilli and Pete: I'm sure you get this every Halloween, so this year I'm (probably one of many) linking you to this: [link] . It is the Joan Osborne version though.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I've only gotten a few Trick or Treaters, despite having an Official Orange Balloon. I watched Conversations With Dead People and opened mail; discovered a disconnect notice and paid my power bill. I have more bills I need to pay but now I'm depressed and tired and want to go to bed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I kinda can't believe that Laura Bush and Colin Powell appeared on the same ticket as a guy who pretty much has to be a teach-you-how-to-spam guy, an aggressive stock instructor, and someone who teaches you how to flip trailer parks. Joe Montana gave a speech that was unintelligible to me, and despite having a speech impediment, Lou Holtz was much clearer, and perhaps the most on point and charming person on the ticket.
Laura was just there because of her husband. She's no speaker.
I forgot how much I wanted Kalinda's clothes.

Loki was roaring around earlier, diving through the cat carrier in his circuits around the house. I guess he wore out, because now he's asleep in it.
After years and years of cats you'd have to fight to get in carriers, I have 4 who sleep in them if I don't put them away.

not your mom's socks.
Halloween achieved. Both HKF and her friend went as Hermoine (Tiffany Aching plan was nixed for this year after the fifth person said 'who?' and a Plan to Educate the Population has been formulated). They decided on their own that one of them was 'Actual-time Hermoine' and the other was 'Time-Turner Hermoine' and proceded to claim that they did twice the trick-or-treating that a normal kid could do.
This is the first time in a while that I haven't made the costume. It was easier, and way too disconnected for my tastes.
Jilli - you look awesome. Happy anniversary to you and Pete.
Hey, Sarameg, I have a really dumb question about trojan orbits. Do you know people who know of these things?

I suspect they have nothing to do with either condoms or horses.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
trojan orbits
Is that when something has almost the same orbit as Earth, so sometimes it gets captured by Earth and sometimes it escapes?
