    You know it was a good party when you find a bloody knife, a Viking shield, and a Papal cummerbund while cleaning up the next day.

    @randomknits There were a ton of drunken students in costume walking down Broadway last night. You won’t stand out too much!

    Feet are KILLING ME. Remind me to never again wear cowboy boots!


    @imdominating That certainly didn’t help. (Nine tube socks in there. NINE.)


  • Halloween!

    Happy Halloween! We’re in full swing of party preparations here…

    @AusVintageGrrl No, nothing, believe me! My dining room table is groaning under the weight of decorations!


    @bellsknits But… I thought the whole point was that we learned not to click on strange links. How do I know that’s not another worm?!


    @jobonekenobi That’s a really useful explanation! I plan on stealing that. πŸ™‚


    @gilmae Right. And many of us have been railing against url shorteners for a while for that reason!

    @franksting The Lion Brand site is good, but it’s got nothing on Ravelry.com.


    @Opheli8 Not by tomorrow!


    @thisismywww Yeah, I noticed that the other day. I think it might interpret it as html or something.

    Debating on borrowing work’s Wii Drum Kit for Halloween party Guitar Hero action….


    Drums procured. Rocking out is ensured.


    @discoknitter Me too!


    Peanut butter bacon cookies are coming out of the oven. This will be interesting.


    @discoknitter Nothing, I was saying that I hope you’re feeling well enough to attend too!


    Witch’s Finger Cookies are out of the oven! http://twitpic.com/nhyk1


    @tinkabel They still spread more than I would have liked. πŸ™


    Google Wave invite just arrived! Thanks again to @eskimo_sparky for hooking me up. … Now what?


    @tinkabel @ValClifton Thanks! I make them every year and they’re always a hit. Wish I had a better oven though so they wouldn’t spread!


    @kunaal84 @SupFarn If and when I get invites, you guys are first on the list…


    Happy Halloween! My enthusiasm is only mildly tempered by how many items are on my To Do list for today…


    @Domestic_jules Eek! Mine spread a bit, but not that bad. I tried the trick of leaving out the baking soda/powder. Still spread a bit. πŸ™


  • Boba Fett!

    Boba FettThat bounty hunter is my kind of scum!
    The Snook and I both discovered rather last minute that some folks in our respective offices would be dressing up for Halloween. I quickly laid claim to the Snook’s Boba Fett helmet. As I was getting dressed this morning, I lamented that I didn’t have a blaster. “Yes you do!” Snookums said. “Your stepmom got you one for Christmas years ago. It’s still in the package!” And so it was! Frickin’ awesome. I brought along a bunch of stuff to decorate my desk and cracked open a bag of candy corn for my co-workers. (The Snook went as Indiana Jones, but I haven’t gotten a picture yet.)

    And no, these aren’t our official costumes for the party tomorrow… You’ll have to wait another day!

  • Halloween grinchiness

    Awww, it appears my efforts to Bring Halloween to the Australian People are foundering. I’ll turn the grinches around, you’ll see!

    Taxi crash finally posted on the SMH: http://bit.ly/1CGeCx. Lucky it was that early with no pedestrians! Could’ve killed folks.


    @Opheli8 Inbound it goes all the way to Riley. Outbound, I have to walk up to Castlereagh. (Sonsabitches.)


    @twelveeyes Heh. I was kinda wondering that too. Do they screw on to the regular cables? Good for the Tunisian crocheters, I guess.


    Took @eileenDCoE for a workout at Spudds, my 2nd in 2 days. Fun! 99m on the rower. I’m gonna be sore tomorrow though…


    @imdominating @Justacogitating Sent to my coworkers. They’re now threatening to stage an intervention. “SHE SENDS THEM TO ME, I SWEAR!”


    @Opheli8 I think you’re meant to give those people a paper bag to breathe into, aren’t you?


    @Opheli8 I will give you $1 to get Declan away from my desk.


    @CarriageWorks Not nearly so trendy, but used by the Chippo locals: http://bit.ly/sdy02


    @twelveeyes Pretty hilarious that it’s basically the plot to the 3rd book (Edward pressuring her to get married).


    RT @Warlach: Would You Pay $199 for a Mobile Twitter Device With β€œLifetime” Service? http://tr.im/DqGT // Good god, no!


    Just finished cooking a dozen strips of bacon… for use in COOKIES. Am I blowing your mind?!


    @rhagern http://bit.ly/OOwZJ Of course I found it on the Internet, font of all bacon wisdom… πŸ™‚


    @Opheli8 Vego cookies have also been provided. They look like ripped off witches’ fingers!


    Finally found the tea lights so I can light up my Jack-o-lantern! http://twitpic.com/nde23


    Behold! 39 Cake Eyeballs. These worked SO WELL. http://twitpic.com/ndhbs


    Worried that @knitterjp may have a Twitter worm. Don’t click on any unexpected DMs! JP, your machine okay??


    @imdominating As long as those tights have feet, mister! *shaking fist*


    Boba Fett on her way to work. http://twitpic.com/nfk5p (Snook is going as Indiana Jones.)


    The people on the bus are eyeing my fake Jack-o-lantern curiously. Good thing they don’t know there’s a POUND of candy corn inside!


    Why I love the Snook: “Damn. If only I had a Boba Fett blaster.” “WE DO!” “NO WAY!”


    @AusVintageGrrl Are you at the one at Birkenhead?

    Oh! They don’t email you about having Twitter lists; you just have to go to the site. I didn’t know that. I never go to the site.


    @Warlach Heh, glad to hear it’s being eaten. The bag in my office is going fast…


    @DDsD That sucks if it’s true, but I’m annoyed at the idea that female presenter automatically = dumbing down of show about gaming.
