Drove 180 miles round trip to discover that the store I was tying to go to was closed today.
Who keeps their business open for six hours a day three days a week?

I’m torn on the idea of using your child as a prop in your own Halloween costume, but this is still rather awesome.

“‘FUCW YOU.’ Doctor screamed. The reader looked down at their keyboard to see if the letters W and K were close to eachother.
They weren’t.”
- Wildon Home ® DVD Multimedia Storage Rack | Wayfair
We were looking at different options for media storage and found this. Gill joked that maybe you couldn’t set a DVD upright on this DVD rack.
She was right. Reading the reviews, not only can you not set a DVD upright, you can’t lay it down on it’s side either.

Halloween
A nice relaxing day overall. Slept in, read a bit, and watched “Hellboy” on Netflix. When Gill got home I carved our pumpkin (I suppose I can’t really call it a jack o’ lantern as we didn’t open it up to put a light inside) and we got ready for the Trick-or-Treaters. Of course, that’s when the skies opened up and it started pouring, again.
Still, we had a few brave kids appear. The most memorable one had to be the little girl (maybe 10 to 12) dressed up as Michael Myers (Michelle Myers?) from Halloween. Oh, and a really cute Batgirl and Batman team.
After the kids died down to a trickle, it was time to go to rehearsal.
It’s kind of weird, doing the same play twice in six months with a completely different group. I tried not to do the same cues, the same looks as last time, but it just sort of happened in a few scenes. It’s also really weird watching a completely different cast, with different staging, and mostly the same music. The whole experience is close enough that my memory keeps confusing on me on what should be happening next. I took photos though, so hopefully I’ll have those up really soon.

And these are the instructions I used to replace the hatband on my new hat.
Unusually absent crossover fanfic
Still working on the mega-posts for Scotland and Camelot, but I’ll leave you all with this thought: A couple nights ago we watched Clue on Netflix, and Gill wondered if there was any Clue/Rocky Horror Picture Show crossover fanfic. My cursory look through the internet says no. So I wonder, why not?
Camelot! Camelot!
I’m still wickedly busy finishing up Camelot (I still haven’t even finished my Scotland report) but I wanted to show silverflight8 one of the trees. All in all, I’m quite proud of the work I’ve done on this show.
In the middle of everything else, I decided to make a new hatband for my new hat. If anyone ever tells you that sewing suede is easy, feel free to call them a liar to their face.

Forest Designs Furniture – Bookcases
Gill and I have been looking for some new bookcases, and we came across this company that seems to offer what we’re looking for. We asked for some samples of their available finishes and we got this thick envelope full of 3.5″ squares of stained plywood. We looked, deliberated, tried them out underneath some books, and decided to have a look at a few of the finishes we didn’t get the first time around.
So today we got another thick envelope full of plywood samples. It’s like we’re opening a new pack of the biggest trading cards, though I have to wonder what kind of candy would come with these cards.
