I think I'm going to be Louise Belcher (from Bob's Burgers) for Halloween this year. I already had the hat, and I just found a perfect green t-shirt dress on Amazon for $13. And I would probably make pigtails out of black yarn. It's so easy it feels like cheating.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Excellent!
My costume is coming together, although it doesn't entirely seem like a costume to me. Head to toe, it'll be a purple witch hat something like this , a spider-web poncho , elbow-length black leather gloves, this spider skater dress (why are they called skater dresses? Ice skating?), Vampire Bat hosiery , and these shoes . And maybe the purple dragon wings I picked up at the Ren Faire this past weekend, although I suspect they won't work with the poncho. The color scheme is right, though.
I've worn the hat and shoes a couple times before on Halloween but I was never happy with what I had to go with it. I think this might look pretty good. But I don't know what to call myself when people inevitably ask me what my costume is.
I could almost get a Fairy/Witch swap going, like, tiara, wand, and wings to hat, cauldron, and poncho, but I'm not sure that the concept is worth the effort.

Our wings are not tired.
Lee and I are about to leave on an excursion to Phillip Island to see some koalas and penguins!
So delighted to see you having fun.

Hiya Karl, so nice to see you!
Y'all it's a very Monday Monday.

I am choosing to think of it as very late Sunday until I get to work, for I feel the impending Mondayness looming above me and wish to delay it as long as possible.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I stayed up late last night watching Westworld. Then I watched the episode again.
My ability to brain has been compromised. Still, my brain is braining enough that I'm getting work done, if a little slowly.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm doing a lot of confused staring at the monitor.
