Kat, congrats! NBCT renewal is no joke.

Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Pan just chained his bike to the lamppost out front.
Bah, I was all set to get a burrito on the way home from the gym, and both the burrito places near me were closed! WOE.
So I ate a frozen tamale. Tasty, but not the same. I bought $20 worth of candy at CVS, hopefully that's enough for the evening. I suspect the kids who come through first are going to feel they've been cheated...
nasty Oreos
So... they're, like, twerking or something?
The creamy filling of Oreos was always too sugary for me, and the chocolate cookie part too bitter, I've never been a fan. I can eat them, but it's not joyful, and certainly something I can totally just eat one of.
But no, no lascivious behaviour involved with Oreos otherwise (I totally had to google "twerk", that's a new one on me).
Store/bakery frosting is also evil, as are sprinkles/jimmies. Gimme cream cheese frosting with half the sweetening or homemade whipped cream with a teaspoon of sugar.
Brownies I can get behind if they are freshly warm and there's copious milk involved for drinking.
It was his first TorT, and he was whispering :'appy 'awwoolleen... Ded.
So. Ded.
There was a little girl wearing what looked like a Where the Wild Things Are in an Incredible Hulk color scheme. With huge furry boots. She was so damn adorable and I was too impressed to ask her design. But she looked fantastic.
Need more trick or treaters. Too. Much. Candy. And not candy I particularly want. It's good candy but mostly I stole as many cherry Jolly Ranchers as I could and a few dark Milky Ways.
No other trick or treaters yet, dammit. And my cats are unnerved by my giant witch's hat.
Trick or treating is like browsing "versions of clothes Jilli would own" without leaving the house. Except for the most recent pirate. Her skirt was stripy and should be MINE.
Tiny witches! One of whom was wearing a black and pink witchy outfit!

You're not wrong.
Oh, and there was a wee little pirate girl with a patch and stubble. And blinky shoes. Carried by her dad up the stairs in a full business suit, clearly everyday work attire. "Ask me what my daddy is!" I did. "He's a scary lawyer!" He looked sheepish and said he was a lawyer, it was a throwaway line in the car this morning when she insisted he had to be going as SOMETHING for Halloween. It stuck.
