Everybody stop! Let's acknowledge that the chief is wearing leopard print.

1. I could not find my bat headband last night. Very sad. Also sad? No trick-or-treaters. Well, except for a group of teenaged boys who were probably too old for such a thing, though they were at least fully dressed up, & one of them enthusiastically (if not a little spazzily, ha. He like SHOUTED into my apartment) complimented my lava lamp. So, yeah, that was amusing. Except I wish they'd taken more candy; I fell into a bit of a sugar coma somewhere around 9 pm, even added a few of them into a banana mint chocolate chip milkshake, (made with coconut milk!), haha. Oh, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, I wish I could quit you.

P.S. Obviously, my stomach is feeling better atm than last week. Well, not totally, but mostly. Regardless, nothing keeps me from hoards of candy on Halloween. Straight-up.

P.P.S. I did see trick-or-treaters on my way home while riding the bus. Tigard, which neighbors my town, does this thing every year on Main Street, opening up the businesses to kids & handing out candy & what-not. It's very cutesy, appropriately so for that area, which takes the "Main Street" cliche to heart, trying to be all down-home & folksy (especially ridic considering that when Jen and I used to live down the road from there it was like non-stop crime central). There are signs up & down the road for things like "burgers" & "stamps", which cracks me up because it's like, "Dude, they can see the McDonalds. They don't need a second sign for 'burgers', like it's the one & only ~burger district~ or something." My favorite though is the "stationary" sign in front of the stationery store. Haha. Spelling fail!

2. Energy assistance was not only able to cover my entire electric bill, but also apply a $50 credit toward my next bill, due in December. V. awesome.

3. I am weak & have already watched the five sneak-peeks for Bones this week. EXCITE. My hands, they are flaily.

4. I'm making my way through season 2 of Psych now, which it turns out I'd already seen a good deal of (I'll end a sentence with a prep if I want to.[/rebel]). But that's okay, because I hadn't seen all the eps, and I don't mind rewatching stuff anyway. This show is just so much joy, y'all. I mean, LASSIE WANTED A PONY AS A LITTLE BOY. Can you even? I WANT TO SQUISH THE LIFE OUT OF HIS STOIC MR. BEAN FACE.

Also: the quote in my subject heading? OMG, I was laughing for at least a minute afterward. I had to pause it.

5. I really need to clean & do laundry & things like that, but I don't want to. I'm trying to put the "five minute" concept into effect that my counselor and I discussed (basically, if you have something you're dreading that's difficult to start, just commit to doing it for five minutes a day or whatever you can handle), but it's still a challenge. I just want to sit/lie motionless all day -- is that so much to ask?

day 15 - a song that describes you

("Always Tomorrow", Gloria Estefan)

Bit of a cheesy choice, but I used to listen to this song all the time in elementary school, and it speaks to a level of perseverance and independence that I relate to, as well as trying to reach out/letting others in.

day 16 - a song that you used to love but now hate

("Building a Mystery," Sarah McLachlan)

I don't hate this song, but I remember getting so sick of it after it became popular. I love Sarah, don't get me wrong (I saw her something like four times live back in the day), but this one has always seemed so "my record company is badgering me for a hit single; this should work"-esque.

I'm so excited for Bones to come back. It's been too long! Far too long, dammit!

[rachg82.livejournal.com]

Seriously! Six months is like, what, five billion weeks in dog years? What if we were dogs, Fox? WHAT THEN.

I'm excited for Bones too, even if I still haven't seen last season's finale yet. I hoped FOX would reair it, but no. They just stopped the reruns at Mr. Nigel Murray's death. Sigh. The network man, always trying to hold me down.

Don't they have it on fox.com or hulu?

[keenai.livejournal.com]

Hulu, but I was hoping it wouldn't have to come to that.
