Happy Halloween!

Halloween is my favorite day of the year.

And today is cool and damp, cloudy and foggy.

The weather loves me. It did rain this morning - which made Bastion bark at the water falling from the sky. I can understand how the puppy got confused - water from the sky is a very rare event in California. scarlet_storm was nice enough to drive me to the bus station, and it was done raining by the time I got out of the car.

Lovely, perfect, spooky weather. And the exercise is paying off, as my joints really don't bother me all that much - I think I will take an aleve with lunch, and that should do me for the day.

My costume is kinda lame, as I have not time these days - fencing, gaming, exercise, life maintence (cleaning, washing clothes, and commuting) and gaming leave me with little to no free time, and when I add on to that "cooking halloween treats" for one of my gaming groups, it left with me no free time - but happy gamers - in the past couple of weeks. Seriously. When your free time is a Friday, you know you life is busy.

I have lovely music from Seanan McGuire - if you don't know her, she's a filker who supplies me with songs about dead things and mad science, demons and hellmouths, the black death and selkies. What's not to love? The sequel to Monster Mash, some random ghost and monster themed music, and Blacq Audio - because sometimes Halloween needs a techno track - are keeping me alert and happy.

Tonight there will be drinking and dancing and singing, and I get to wear the green dress. All is right in my world.

Though, I could use some pumpkin doughnuts. They are the only thing pumpkin (other than jackolanterns) that isn't hideous, and well, part of me wishes I hadn't tried one, because they are GOOD.

Haven't decided on my BPAL for today. I might rotate, and start with Graveyard dirt. I love oddly named, oddly smelling, delightly me perfume.

'Cause sometimes a girl just wants to smell like fresh dirt. If that girl is me.
