SOLDIERING FORTH, STIFF UPPER LIP, &C, &C.

Ugh, I am seriously embarrassed by that horrible emo post from yesterday.  Can we all just pretend it never happened?  Awesome.

Today is a perfectionary day wrt weather.  Lower 60s, overcast, drizzly.  It's already October in my heart, you guys!  To that end, I'm starting to think of my Halloween plans.  Isn't Halloween the best?  I need to secure permission to wear a witch's hat or something similar at work that day, since I'll be working.  (Sadfaces forever.)  I don't know if my little sister is going to be trick-or-treating this year; I've quite enjoyed driving her and her friends around the last few years.  I just ferry them from one place to the next, chill in my car with a scary book, and collect candy tolls.  Unbeatable.

I'm thinking of setting up a Halloween/Autumn music sharing post in a week or so.  There's always a ton of them around for Christmas music, but I've never seen one for Halloween, and I have a surprisingly large amount of Halloween music.  As one does.

One of the things I did go ahead and buy this weekend, because it's depressing to be on vacation and have zero souvenirs whatsoever, is a cast iron skillet.  I've always wanted one, and after thinking about it, I decided to go for it.  The first thing I am going to make is pineapple upside down cake, probably tomorrow since I work till 9 tonight - it should be prodigious.

I've been trying to get some landcomm challenges out of the way.  I made this Luther wallpaper yesterday for a gift-giving challenge, and I am very proud of it.  (Why am I only able to make good graphics for gifts and non-voting challenges?  Seriously.)  I'm...not sure if I'm going to be able to get to the scifiland Big Bang, though.  I should have been working it all along, but somehow, out of nowhere, I didn't.  And it's due the same day as the het_bigbang, and I'll be cutting it close just to get that done.  (Where has all the tiiiiiime gone?!)  Anyway, you'd think then that I'd be working really hard on those, but no, I spent like two hours doing online jigsaw puzzles yesterday.  Productive uses of free time FTW!

What emo post? *blinks*

Hee, it's never Halloween until I hear The Monster Mash. WHAT SHOULD I BE FOR HALLOWEEN, SHANNON? I always wait until the last moment and half-ass it, and maybe I could avoid that this year.

That's a gorgeous wallpaper!

YOU SHOULD GO AS A CYLON!

Ugh, LJ, I was not done typing. I don't know how you'd go as a Cylon, tho. I'm not the best person for costume advice; I always bought clothes from Goodwill, tore them up and covered them with mud and fake blood, and went as a zombie.

(Except for the year I went as Chaplin. That was epic. You just need a cane, a bowler hat, and a moustache! And a suit, obvs.)

*gigglesnort* I suppose tin cans and tinfoil.... Sounds uncomfortable, though. I like the Chaplin idea, that's cool. And the pictures of your sister going as Old Greg were pretty epic.

Old Greg! That was a good one, too. Your hair is curly enough, you could go as Moss from The IT Crowd.
