( Danny and I brainstormed these three over the phone, in a matter of minutes. )

Goodnight, dear journal!

tick tock, goes the clock.

hooray for a spare hour! I slept in, and still got up at 9:00!
back from laundry, and got some foodies for me and the striped quadruped. Now, I'm due a shower.

Making a bed and wrestling Newt at the same time is a tricky proposition, at best. Once the bottom sheet's down, however, it's a good deal simpler. It's rare that he lets me totally cover him with the comforter, but sheets seem to work ok.

He followed me into the shower again... at least until the water was turned on. He's mastered how to hide behind the liner and mer at me as I wash. Very odd behavior.

I wonder how good the Original Ring is?

Ok.. I like Charlton Heston well enough, but the photo of him there is scary and hilarious at the same time... In fact, I like it so much, I'm going to grab it, put it on my server, so when I look back in a year or three, I can tune in and laugh and shiver at the same time again. ( Chuck Pic... )

Brother and I went to call my grandmother and wish her a happy 80th birthday, and she was out and about! Ah well, if at first you don't succeed...[update, 8:15 - got through... she sounds quite well, though Ted seemed a little scattered... he's a swell guy.. I hope he mends quickly.)

There’s a three-day week, and then a four-day weekend coming up. I'm glad of that... I'll enjoy the breather. I will swing by on Friday, to get my pay paperwork, but I'll be gone again before anyone can lasso me into any work. October seems to have just blipped on by.

I have an urge for potato skins, or something with pimento cheese... but will more likely have some sort of noodles for dindin, as I have the latter on premises.

What candy should I get for Halloween? I suspect that I won't get many TorT folks again... The trick is to get a kind of candy that I can bring in to work, so I don' t eat it all. If left to my own devices, I suspect almond joy will be the way I go. Yum.

speaking of Joy... Jacques Henri Lartigue: Imprints of Joy. at the Edwynn Houk Gallery. "...Lartigue (French, 1894-1986) took his first photograph in 1900, at the age of six. At seven, he acquired his first camera as a birthday gift. The young Jacques-Henri reveled in photography's magic power to preserve everyday moments of joy so that they could be infinitely revived. He photographed obsessively, carefully keeping his pictures in diaries, alongside anecdotes and sketches, all meant, as he put it, to 'trap' the very 'scent of happiness'."

maybe a step-by step, for this one?

oh! belly-dancer fig, before modification...



hmm... coin bra? colors? so much to decide!

have to get rid of the sai, though... maybe a sword or a sash? so many decisions...
