Are you scared yet?

Happy Halloween everyone! Let's see, this weekend has been non stop no sleep fun at KFK central. I dressed up like the girl from Hitchcock's The Birds, watched a good band, watched a really bad movie and drank some delicious beer.

Tonight I hooked up with the parental unit for some dinner at Typhoon! and a drink across the street at the Benson Hotel. Way fun, but I'm exhausted and want to go to bed. However, I can't go to bed until I've unloaded all this delicious candy I bought today at Fred Meyers. In fact, I wrestled scary white trash to score the last of the on sale chocolate, and damn it, I'm giving it to freaking trick or treaters. Someone ring my doorbell!

Oh, and four hours and five minutes until NaNoWriMo04.

Oh dude! Harry Potter and a kung fu fighter just came to my door. Excellent!

When you're a cat there's nothing nicer than clean sheets fresh out of the dryer.

I went for a PT appointment the other day and the therapist used ultrasound on my back. Have you ever had ultrasound done? It�s fabulous. They put cold goo all over your back, then use this heated wand and rub it all in the goo and all over the places that hurt. By the time they�re done the tissue is all warm, pliable and feels marvelous. She only did my back for ten minutes. I was like �Hey, that�s it? Don�t stop!� I want an ultrasound bed. I could just cover my body in that gooey stuff and lie on my back as little heated rollers go up and down my entire body. I�m sure that there�s some scientific reason why that would be really bad for me, but it just felt so yummy. I�ve been a good girl and doing my back exercises every day. I�ve also been throwing in some light weight lifting since I was told I have zero muscle mass. Soon I�ll be able to walk up five flights of stairs without getting out of breath and turning pale. Soon I�ll be able to fend off the aggressive vagrants instead of running into traffic.

Did anyone else catch the lunar eclipse tonight? I couldn't keep my hands still enough to get a good picture.

Sorry, Thor.

On my way home from work I have to drive past Pacific Casket. In front of their store the other day on a gurney was a black casket with red flames painted on it. It was an amazing casket, one fit for the body of Jesse James. A tiny sign taped to the casket read �50% off!� So I�m wondering why. Why a flame covered casket and why is it 50% off? This sent my brain to buzzing and I came up with a plausible scenario.

A retired Hell�s Angel named Thor is being the responsible family man and does a prepaid funeral and picks out his own cool radical casket. When Thor finally kicks it, his wife takes one look at the black and the flames and says: There�s no way the father of my children is going to be buried in this monstrosity. and insists that the casket be exchanged for a demure mahogany one.

What�s your theory?

Francesca and I went to see Chris Baty at Powell's tonight for a signing of his book No Plot No Problem and for a motivating pep talk on NaNoWriMo. Francesca and I even stood up and gave advice to all the people that attended. Go us! Afterwards we all wandered across the street to the Bagdhad for beers and stimulating conversation. Here's a cameraphone picture of me and Chris. It doesn't take good pictures in bars but you get the gist. Chris a tall boy, I mean, I'm short but I'm wearing heels in this picture!

Get out of my lane.

It was one of those mornings where I found myself grinding my teeth even before I sat down at my desk. Basically, I'm completely over reacting to absolutely everything today. This is beyond my normal Monday morning road rage.

Things that drive me crazy in the order they happened to me this morning:

* Unconsciously hit the snooze button five times.
* Woke up late.
* Cars with loud thumping music that I can feel from three blocks away.
* Cars that want to be in both lanes.
* Very slow jaywalkers who think the world should stop for them.
* Bicyclists that pass me on the right when I'm trying to make a right hand turn.
* People who won�t quit hassling me for change even when I say NO.
* Finding I had $1 in my wallet and really needed coffee.
* Really slow baristas.
* People that can�t negotiate escalators.

My company is all about branding these days. I got in the elevator this morning and when the doors closed there where two big words painted on the doors. "Longevity Adaptability." This made me start to panic as I started reliving the SATs and GRE. My mind whirled with antonyms, synonyms and word matches. I hope I don't have an academic panic attack each time I ride the elevator. I guess each one has different words in it.
