Today is our Halloween potluck and pod decorating contest. My team did a massive effort with dozens of construction paper pumpkins and hand drawn cardboard cutouts of the Peanuts gang in the pumpkin patch. If we win, we get a pizza party. I also baked pumpkin shaped sugar cookies to bribe the judges...
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Apparently my team took first place on the Halloween decorating contest at work. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures.

You know, when Trick or Treating time rolls around, I think I shall retire to my balcony with a drink and my tablet and my orange balcony lights and ignore anyone who rings my doorbell.

There are two kids who live near me who are the only two that I get candy for, and once they've gone, I pull the blinds down and turn off the lights and pretend I'm not home, or, get dressed warmly and go wander around the neighborhood. The neighborhood association sponsors a decorating contest and people go bonkers, some really good stuff.

I'm going to indulge in my trick or treating tradition, which is dress extra spooky, then stand very still outside with the candy and the jack o' lanterns. Most people think I'm a piece of Halloween decor until I move, which is the best game ever.

My team has decorated our area with a Stranger Things theme. We went pretty hard.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
There's been some kind of incident in NYC. First reported as gunfire, now maybe a car hitting pedestrians? Or both? Strangely enough, I'm learning about this through Josh Groban's Twitter account.

Our wings are not tired.
Apparently the person is in custody, couple people dead. 4 critical injury from what they say.
Skipped a bunch to express my condolences for the loss of Strega.
I got home after midnight. Still haven't unpacked my car. Had zero food because of the hurricane but need to clean the fridge before putting new food in. Apparently a big thing in the park across the street from me for Halloween. Haven't even showered, but son & GF are coming over to deal with trick and treats. Just well, overwhelmed.

Because books.
One news source is saying 7 dead, 11 injured. I wish they would just wait to say until they're sure.
You must be exhausted, Laura. But welcome home!

I would love to see that.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
In my first microbiology lab section this morning, Darth Vader was sitting next to Deadpool. I'm still not sure who would win that fight...but my students enjoyed me geeking out about it!
