Reasons why I like October

Number one:




Number two:




Yes, this was my birthday weekend. To those who were around this weekend, a hearty thanks for making me, cheesy as it sounds, feel very special. Last year, not ready to admit that I live here, I bailed on California for my birthday weekend and did the NYC thing. This year, on a scale of good to awesome, was super-great, to quote my jack o'lantern.

H-ween...

is fast approaching. Perhaps my favorite holiday, because it centers around fun and candy. I've officially decided on my costume for this year. It's both slightly gory (in a cute way) and bizarre, so that makes it a really idea costume. I'ma be:
one of these
. But it's gonna be crafty. Like "My L'il Homemade Anatomy Torso". Made of felt and lace and yarn. Mosty because of
this
. In any case, I'm on the lookout for someone with bitchin makeup skills. Because I really want the half peeled-off face look. It's really key. Otherwise I may just have to do the "My other costume is a slutty _______." t-shirt.

In January I had a dream that I was Mr. Peanut for Halloween. I entertained that idea for a while, but I realized fairly quickly that it's total bullshit to follow your dreams. Honestly, who does that? Then, after seeing Ghostbusters in 70mm glory, I wanted to be Stay-Puft. But then I realized, yuck, cumbersome. Although with all the frotting that goes on in the Castro during the 'Ween madness, I suppose it couldn't hurt to have a buffer zone.

re: dolly

Sparkly turquoise dress. Matching guitar. Worst. Sound system. Ever.


At least I heard approximately thirty seconds of "Jolene." And the entirety of "Nine to Five."

And her joke about her family being horny hillbillies. Yes.


My evening: watching the third Harry Potter movie on cable and crocheting a hyperbolic surface. I need an intervention?
