I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I had a few trick-or-treaters at the office in the half hour between their start and me going home. Some real cuties - little darth vader always slays me. When I finally opened my bags of candy I was able to fill my plastic cauldron and my metal pumpkin dish and have plenty left over to give to my next-door-cube neighbor who had forgotten to bring in candy. And that's not including all the black and white candy I had gotten to, like, go with my costume (I tried a lollipop and it was black cherry flavored, yum).

I left the cauldron and black and white candy out on my desk with a sign to take some, I hope it'll at least have a good dent in it. Most of the kids were very politely only taking one piece so we'll see.

The s'more pies were not a hit - I had over a dozen still left. We did have a lot of desserts, though - two chocolate cakes, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake, and chocolate chip cookies. One person told me they were good, and I overheard someone else saying it was too rich for her (which I can understand). I had one this morning and I like them, so, too bad I can't get them to you guys easily because I do not need to eat a dozen of these. I guess I will find out if they freeze okay. Oh, and now that the ganache has firmed up I can take them out of the muffin tin without them losing their shape.

Was not home for ToT time, went to see the Addams Family musical. Good production, I'm not sure I like the writing. Costume contest at intermissions which I won (due mostly, I think, to the emcee referring to my costume as American Horror Story). One of the guys was dressed as Bert Macklin, FBI which I don't think people were getting all the layers of.

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

Timelies all!

Concert was good. There were a few people in costume there. Besides the usual array of Stevie Nicks wannabees, I saw someone in a sexy devil costume, and two people in animal onesies. (At least one of them took theirs off before the show started- I guess it was too warm.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My parents' church choir went to sing for/with my dad this morning, and it was so great! He was super into it, talked more than I've heard him in forever, and everyone generally had a great time. So nice!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Oh, that's just lovely, Jesse!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm taking some online classes to improve my coding skills in Python. I can make things! I can make the computer do things! Now I just have to figure out if there's something I want to make it do.

AND I went to the library and the supermarket! And now I can stay inside.

ION, pretty disappointed not to see Lori in this video: [link]

That's great, Jesse (choir/dad, not lack of Lori).

Bacon and sexy bacon makes me laugh.

Hil, have it take over the world. Why not?

It's rainy and windy, but I'm going to walk to the store anyway. I need cream and stuff. And half-price candy. I only had a single piece left. Curse my precision buying.

Oh hey, remember my whining about my toe? It's mostly better! So maybe it was a sprain of some kind afterall. It's a mystery.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

If it hurts again the next time the weather changes, you'll know it's something else.

Very nice!
