Home Again, Home Again
We’re back in Appleton after three weeks away, & I can’t tell if it feels like we’ve been gone more like 3 years or 3 minutes.
Either way: here we are again. High on my list: hot bath, laundry, sleep, cats.
Very Merry
A very Merry Christmas Eve to you & yours tonight. I’ll be borrowing a bike and taking a ride to the beach today; later, we’ll join my other brother and (new!) sister in law for dinner.
Compassion
Occasionally, human beings express compassion for the rest of the critters on this planet.

We got to walk a family of ducks across a busy avenue here a couple of years ago, maybe a total of a half mile from where they started to the river.

Happy Halloween
If you’ve never read it, then listen to Neil Gaiman’s “Snow, Glass, Apples” in five parts, read by Bebe Neuwirth, instead.

No, Really: Sexy Droogie
Honestly, someone is actually marketing a Sexy Droogie Costume for women who want to be Alex of A Clockwork Orange fame. You know the movie – the one with one of the most horrifying rape scenes ever filmed? But sure! Just add thigh highs and cleavage!Of course they don’t call it that, since I’m guessing anyone selling or buying this costume hasn’t actually read the fucking book.
So while I’m thinking, who the hell is going to buy that, my google-fu turns up this exchange in Yahoo! Answers:
Sexy clockwork orange costume. any ideas?
so me and my boyfriend are trying to think up halloween costume ideas and i thought of being droogs from clockwork orange. so i was thinking get the white button up shirt, the white suspenders, derby hat, but with thigh high fishnets, stilletos and lots of clevage. oh and of course the one fake eyelash and cane. not so sure what to use for pants/skirt. maybe highwasted shorts.
any ideas on how to improve this costume?
& Yay, someone has an idea! Boots and tight shorts to go with the cleavage! That does it!

I am also going to be Alex for halloween this year. I am a female and will be wearing short white shorts and knee high black boots to make the outfit a little sexier. There are lots of different versions of this theme. If you google it you can see lots of pics. Im also going to do the bloody eyeballs. Good luck with your costume!
Some days I just want to stay in bed until the planet gets less stupid.
Badass Barbie
= This is kinda what I made my Barbies look like, as well as I could, but apparently, some parents are not happy with Barbie’s alt makeover. She is a limited edition, however, and not the type of Barbie to be found in children’s toy stores. Too bad.
