Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Road trip! Road trip! Have fun, msbelle!

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

Timelies all!

Didn't get as many trick-or-treaters as in previous years. Probably because it was raining.

It is a sign that my diamond shoes are too tight that I'm bemoaning the fact that I have to get up before dawn tomorrow to get to the Navy Pier IMAX and stand in line for the free Blackhawks movie.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Ooh. That sounds great - is that the only way to get tix?

The people I know who got tickets to the free public screenings signed up on the Blackhawks website, but I think all the tickets are currently (or perhaps temporarily) "sold out": [link]

The screening tomorrow is at 10am, but we're getting there early since seating isn't guaranteed.

Mm, cheddar-pretzel combos. Yum.

All the pictures from last night make me want to wear my hair like that all the time. Possibly impractical. But so fun!

I'm at a dance convention and watching people learn a fiendish difficult dance. I wanted to learn it because parts are super fun looking, but the other parts were too much for me.

I said goodbye to my therapist. Gave her a handmade scarf and a card, which seemed only right. She's been there for me through a whole lot.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Stupid moment with boss lady today.

I say "we have over ten thousand bulbs to plant, and we don't have enough trowels for the volunteers".

She says "Can't we use those fork things?"

Me "Cultivators? To dig a hole six inches deep?"

Her "Yeah."

Me "No"

Her, sad face, "I've done it that way before".

"No".

I'm so fucking bossy.

This is the lady who supposedly helped plant over 35000 bulbs at some esteemed hort institution with "thousands of minions". Maybe they ran out of tools and she was one of the minions who got stuck with the suck-ass wrong tool.

Stupid moment from my last post that I forgot with the whole hose fiasco: when I gave her the nozzle, she said that she couldn't get the end off the hose, so she didn't know how to attach it. The thing she wanted to get off was the on/off bit, and I had to explain she could just screw the nozzle directly onto it.
