Halloween

I kind of hate Halloween. Well, hate may be a bit of a strong word, but I haven't been too big on the day for many years now. Still, I always get sucked into some sort of costume. Because of this, I've become the queen of the cop-out costume. Some highlights;
A Charlie's Angel (yup, cute top, jeans and high heeled boots)
Cowgirl (denim skirt, white shirt and pig tails)
A hippie (been used many many times)
This year, there's talk about going out as a group. This always sounds like a good idea, but never seems to work out very well. Though I enjoy some of the ideas that have been bandied about, I doubt anything will come to fruition. Any ideas for a group of 5 people, three girls and two guys though we're fine with gender bending. Right now I'm a big fan of either 80s musicians (yay big hair) or famous wives (Yoko, Courtney, Nancy and of course Ashton)
In some ways I'd like to boycott Halloween like I did Valentine's Day so many years ago.

Everything's faster

Greetings from Charlie.
No, I'm not writing as a communist deep in the jungles of Vietnam. But Charlie is the name of my new computer. After three years on a painfully slow machine, it's nice to have everything move at a pace that my impatience can tolerate.
I plan on being very nice to Charlie, as I may never be able to get a new computer again.

Christmas in October

Christmas starts on Friday! No, I haven't gone completely insane, but my Christmas is this weekend. My crazy parents are going away for a few months and this was the closest to Christmas we could get. I'm normally one of those people who screams at the idea of any mention of Christmas before December, but I have a feeling that this year I may dislike the mention of Christmas in December.
I'll keep you posted.
