Timelies all!

Tonight gary and I are going to a concert- a tribute to Oscar Brand. Bunch of good performers, including Christine Lavin and The Limelighters(well, the current incarnation of them). We have a babysitter for Mr. S.

Guys, I want to jump and squee at the news but basically I'm avoiding it all--I can't help expecting that it all comes to nothing and I don't think I can live with raised hopes and expectations, followed by more (the inevitable, I'm afraid) crushing disappointment. I'm totally aware that's not how other people deal, and that's fine. I just wanted to, I don't know, let y'all know what a supertitious old biddy I am, I guess.

I am sitting with Beverly and -t. Though it's true in other white collar crime, they go for the wife or kid first so even if it is disappointing, it still might be the start of an unraveling.

I'm performing at a Halloween Hafla in Petaluma tonight. I think I've got my costume all sorted out, about to take a leisurely bath before starting on my makeup. Feeling pretty good about the choreography...

What's your costume?

I've been sort of cleaning the house all day, in a kind of 30 minutes on, 60+ minutes off fashion. This is literally the first day I haven't left the house at all in years, I think.

If I ever need to create any sockpuppet accounts anywhere, I now have a list of names to choose from.

I've been doing a lot of cleaning, including the bathroom walls. My sister's coming in two weeks and I don't want to leave everything until the last minute.

I've started cleaning my room. I have a guy coming tomorrow to start fixing several of the things that need fixing in my house. Job#1 is in my bathroom so I've got to get my room and it cleaned up.

Skeleton tank top, legging, toe socks and gloves. On top of that, a variety of purple black and gray falls (belts with dangle flourishes, basically), purple dhrug/choli, sort of Tribal belt with bustle attached (featuring purple spiders) and decorated bra. And a purple boa tucked into the belt. And a purple top hat with spiderweb lace. And purple John Lennon glasses. And my dragon wings. I keep forgetting a out the dragon wings.

Oh God, and jewelry. Red plastic blood necklace under a choker with spider details. Pretty normal but light catching purple and black earrings. Still need to put those on.

I'm not happy with my makeup so I'm going to pick up some black lipstick on the way to my carpool. My eyes will be covered with the sunglasses and I can't figure out what to do with the rest of my face so I'm not doing anything.

It's a lot of look, but performance, so. Dancing to Spooky, the concept was Dead Girls. With giant fans because the dance calls for fans.

Oh, and so everyone won't see the full costume until we dance I've hot tribal pants on over my skeleton legs and dome of the falls and will put on my velvet cloak to cover up. Very glad it's not as hit as it had been.

That sounds so fun!

Totally!
