I've been stressing out about my Halloween treat buying this year because I, and more importantly my kids, read about the use of child slave labor by Hersheys, Mars, and Nestle. Ugh! What's left? But I need to have something to give away, we get too many T-or-Ters, so I finally cobbled together an assortment of Goldfish, Oreos, and various sugary candies to give away. I am assuming that those companies are probably also owned by same corporations as own the other 3, since there are only about 5 processed food companies in like the whole world, but oh well. Plausible deniability, and I can give out treats.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's pretty cool that your kids are so socially responsible.

It comes in fits and starts, -t, but in this case the news was just so close to the holiday

I am the same way, responsible in fits and starts and mostly about the last thing I heard about. Better than nothing.
I am wearing my pink jillifont shirt (with my pleather skirt which is totally not taking Tep's advice at all, but Halloween Week! (I hear this in my head in the Dean's voice, and followed shortly by "All Saints' Day Month!")) and it's earworming me with David Bowie. Took me a while to figure out why - I guess my subconscious figures the spiders from Mars are pink (and is not particular about what song it's going to keep singing after those lyrics as long as it's Bowie)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

This is the first time I'm trying to find flights across the country for Thanksgiving, and prices really suck.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
New fridge arriving no later than Friday, and hopefully Thursday if we were pathetic enough to the sales guy. Now we're playing the games "Hey, Did You Remember That Was in the Freezer?" and "Guess We're Making Lasagna with Many Different Meats."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I don't know what to say about that, Sue.
Back into the usual routine today.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I originally wasn't going to bother voting next week; it's all local stuff, and my local votes liberal and liberaler, so no worries about unexpected Rand Pauls getting in. But then an incumbent got busted for massively drunk driving (way more than twice the legal limit) and has refused to bow out. I think his judgement is suspect, so I'll be going to the polls to vote against him.
