Happy Halloween

I hope you all pigged out on lots of candy today! I know I did. I ate entirely way too much food today and yet I’m hungry right now.

Did you dress up? I sort of did. I was going to wear all pink and have a name tag that said “Hello My Name Is Floyd” and be Pink Floyd, but I couldn’t find a pink skirt or pink pants in time so I decided to go with a different idea. I wore my blue dress and a pair of devil ears and carried a mini pitchfork (all of which I already owned and therefore spent no money!). I was a Devil with a Blue Dress On. While driving home this evening, I had a stroke of genius as to my costume for next year. A candle. So easy, even I could make it. I made my Christmas Tree outfit on my own so I think I can swing a candle.

The Office of the Building had a Halloween Lunch so all the tenants got together and hung out and ate hot dogs and chips and took pictures. As soon as I finished uploading them, I will have the link to the pictures so you can see the outfits from today.

Alright, that’s my day. I’m off to get some food.

Concrete, Urging, Slippery

Yeah, I’m really late with this. These were last week’s words.

Each week, Bone will post three (or more) random words. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write something using all of those words. It can be a few lines, a story, a poem, anything. Don’t spend too much time on it. It doesn’t have to be perfect. The idea is to let your mind wander and write what it will. I’ll also write something using the same three words.

Be sure to leave a comment if you participate.

This week’s words are:
concrete
urging
slippery

(more…)

Weird Science

Pictures from the day at the Science Center can be seen here. I’m gonna go nap. I have a headache from all the sun.

Greetings From Wellville

So. . . I’ve been a little absent lately, huh? Lots of stuff’s been going on but at the same time, nothing’s been going on. Ever have days/weeks like that? I think the changing weather’s had a lot to do with it as well. First it was really hot, then it cooled down considerably, now it’s warm again.

I’ve got a 3 Word Wednesday to do and 2 GH recaps to write this weekend so I’ll be busy. I was going to try to convince Nathan to go to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library with me on Saturday but I’m not so sure I want to go now. First, it costs money. Second, it’s in Simi Valley (which probably isn’t any further of a drive but it’ll be hotter).

Instead, I’m thinking we should go to the Animation exhibit at the California Science Center. I’ve never been there (despite having lived at USC for 4 years). And it’s free. And I think that’s maybe more exciting than the Library (sorry Ron). And parking and traffic won’t be bad because I checked and USC is playing an away game. USC’s at Corvallis tomorrow, playing the Oregan State University Beavers. Yes, my friends, it’s the Trojans versus the Beavers. The jokes, they just write themselves.

Well, I’m gonna go watch tv now. But I leave you with this little tidbit that Nathan found. Deep Fried Coke Balls. I kid you not. Enjoy.

*Seeing Red*

I am going to kill the folks at Blogger. I wrote my GH recap for Monday (yes, I’m behind, I know) and it was great. I was witty, I was snarky, I was done and Blogger goes down!! And it took the whole entry with it. I can’t get into Blogger right now. Stupid Blogger. I think I’m moving the whole damn things to WordPress, which I like better anyways.

*Snore*

Am very tired.
Had dreams last night about nuclear holocausts and zombies.
Spent about 5 minutes this morning trying to unlock the door to my office.
Realized I was using the bathroom key.
Need coffee.

Can’t Sleep, Clown Will Eat Me

I managed to convince Susan to drive all the way from Orange County to go see the midnight showing of Poltergeist with me. Yeah. Just so’s you know: that movie is still scary. Even though I’ve seen the movie numerous times before and I knew what was coming, I still jumped at the scary parts. I couldn’t go to sleep right away after I got home. I ended up watching some stuff I taped until I felt like I wasn’t going to have weird dreams, which ended up being 4am. The only reason I’m awake now is because Sharky needed to be walked and I am super hungry. I’m going to go get some food and then it is back to sleep with me.

P.S. Prism, I did get your message but not until really late (I was sleeping when you called). And I totally understand that you couldn’t talk so it’s cool. Thanks for chatting with me as long as you did.

Don’t Go Into The Light!

So, I read on Wil Wheaton’s blog that a theatre in South Pasadena is playing Poltergeist at midnight on Saturday. Oooh…spooky. I wonder if I can convince Nathan to go.
