And, did you know, that there are now PUMPKIN peeps? Little poufs of marshmallow that look like jack o'lanterns, covered with orange sugar, with black eyes and mouths? I saw some in the store yesterday.

The supermarket has had Halloween stuff for a couple of weeks.

Oh, I've been seeing Halloween stuff ... it's just that they now have peeps for the season.

I miss being able to eat that amount of sugar, because ghost peeps were my favorite thing to make s'mores with.

Thrive to spite them

We have some Halloween clothes for kids at work. Adorable clothes too so I don't mind. There is a black cat t shirt hoodie dress with cat ears on the hoodie. The same brand does a unicorn hoodie dress with ears and the horn on the hood.

Dang, Hemsworth looks good in photos, doesn't he? What is it about that one with the phone, why is that so damn adorable?

As much as I am against the spread of Xmas stuff into the fall, I am here for year-round Halloween merch.

Alas, Halloween falls between back to school and Thanksgiving, so it doesn't get the attention other holidays do (although the xmas stuff usually starts showing up by Labor Day).

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

That's a nifty Lego tank, Gud.

Thank you, Toddson, for bringing the good and the happy.

I've seen that GQ spread linked EVerywhere. I think, aside from the obvious, the thing about Hemsworth is his own pokes at his image. He seems really grounded, and with a decent sense of humor at himself. The fact he made Hiddles an honorary Hemsworth brother makes me smile. And an early Avengers PR appearance on some talk show or other, they had a moving stage. Chris grabbed hold of Ruffalo to steady him, let go, didn't make a deal of it. Like, thats what you do, right? No big.

I'm inclined to like him, until I find out he skins cats or beats bunnies or something.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have got to save that article for later. I have definitely already wasted too much time at work today to read it now. I am definitely going to do my work now instead of reading GQ.

Definitely.

That is what I should do, too, Jesse. I'll leave it open in another tab in case I need to wait for something, though...

In case I didn't say before - that is indeed a nifty tank, Gud.

The magic vending machine has Nathan's hot dogs today, yay! My favorite is when it has piroshki, but that's not so frequent.
