Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

No trick or treaters yet, even though it's full dark. It's a bit rainy, but not so much you'd think we'd get a couple.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

The rain is supposed to let up by trick or treating time. I hope it stops soon, as I want to get a picture of Grumpy Pumpkin all lit up.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Flicked a stinkbug off my laptop.

It took a minute, but, yep, there's that fragrance. And then the little shit went and landed on my elbow.

I was all in a tizzy thinking that Welcome to Night Vale aired on the 15th and 30th, and there was no new podcast. Oh, it's tomorrow. Wah.

I can't find my tiara, so I'm wearing my lacy garden hat instead. Still no kids, though.

I'm dressed as a Hogwarts professor. So, y'know, my regular clothing with my new enormous witch hat and a wand.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I didn't manage to come up with a wand, so my witch/Hogwart's student costume is a Gryffindor jersey and jeans.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

No kids, which is good as we're dressed like a couple of people with colds sniffling on the couch with Netflix and Chinese food.

I think it's stopped raining, which will at least make the dog happy. This morning she got [had] to wear her yellow rain slicker to the park.

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

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Daniel!

Happy Anniversary Jilli and Pete!

I'm wearing my black cat &pumpkin earrings, but no costume.
