What am I missing?
I always try to take earplugs and a sleep mask.
I've been asked by a co-worker to participate in a group costume for Halloween (because her children are making her dress up). Of the Inside Out 2 characters, I have been assigned Ennui.
I was about to crawl into bed Thursday night, thinking I had missed the light show when I saw someone post another photo so I threw on some clothes and walked over to Loyola Beach. Only 100 yards or so from city lights, it wasn't spectacular to the naked eye, but watching thru the phone camera was pretty cool. I could see color differences and movement without the camera, but I am somewhat practiced at noticing things like that.
Meds are ready. I think my headphones can double as earplugs if needed and I’ve never used a sleep mask.
Say what!!! It is a triple Buffista Birthday today. Let's celebrate the births of Matt the Bruins fan, Cashmere, and megan walker. May you have a wonderful day being spoiled and may the year ahead be filled with peace and joy.
You’re going to Paris, msbelle?! Please report back on your favorite things!!
Happy birthday to all the birthday babies!!
I follow on Instagram the artist who sculpted this for the New Yorker. I commented that it looked like Lady Penelope, and she replied to me and said that she never even heard of The Thunderbirds before! How can someone who makes puppets for a living not know about The Thunderbirds?

Maybe she's not 50+ yrs old?
After some harassment on my part I got Matilda to move back upstairs to her bedroom from the Garden Apartment.
So last night we watched a few episodes of Wednesday for our Halloween allotment (totally worth a rewatch just to see Gwendoline Christie in Vertigo drag), and several episodes of Nobody Asked For This on Netflix.
I keep having brief pangs thinking how much ita would have loved to see Seth Cohen wooing Veronica Mars. Admittedly, she was always more of a Ryan guy than Seth.
Come to think of it, real live Ben McKenzie marrying Morena Baccarin would probably eclipse that.
I need to finish my most recent Wednesday rewatch. I got sidetracked by COVID (amusingly, given that the first time I watched it, it was because the household had COVID) in July.
However, I am 100% in a 1960s Addams Family wallow at the moment, so Wednesday and Enid will have to wait.
