Well. That's impressive.

[Sunbird she/her]

I had a couple of "wait, what?" moments today:

1. During my walk to the bus stop this morning, my sock somehow managed to wriggle its way more than halfway off my foot. I'd only walked one block and was wearing tennis shoes. O_o

2. I made shell pasta for dinner tonight out of a box. When I went to dump the shell noodles in the pot, a bunch of them stuck to the inside of the box. ??

I have an important question. What should I be for Halloween?

This is very important, as for the football game closest to Halloween the band is actually wearing costumes for the marching show.

What do you look like? I'm thin and look good in a tweed jacket, so going to go as a college professor. You should go as something you like, and something that you feel looks similar to you. Does that help?

@Mistbornwithakitty, quick question about Wattpad. I requested a cover from an artist there, but it looks like it's going to take a few days at least. Should I post my story in the meantime, or wait until the cover is finished?

This is beautiful. Possibly because I was singing along. 

Oh, Twi, I followed you on the YouTube so I can see more pug. I hope that's cool with you.

A 50's high-school vampire. Get, like, a letterman jacket and fake blood and sharp teeth.

We have the same appearance, then, my friend. Eleventh Doctor is a good idea for a build like ours.

The obvious answer is a Mistborn. The clever answer is Wit.

Did . . . Did you just use the word "bae?"

*respect for bleeder steadily drops* (I kid. )

@Mistrunner , choose someone from one of your fandoms that you could cosplay easily. For example, I found a pink sweater and a purple skirt at a thrift store, so now I'm sewing a shooting star on the front and going as Mabel Pines. My brother has the hat, so once he gets a blue vest, he can go as Dipper. 乁(ツ)ㄏ

I did not make this meme; I just thought the pug was amusing. I haven't actually used that word since, I think, last February (that's a guess).

And that costume idea is brilliant.

I need sleep. Good night, all.

[Mistrunner]

Thanks for the ideas, guys.  It's just been kinda hard to find a character that works with my medium-short blonde hair.  (Lookin' at you, Kate Bishop.)

I keep seeing his stats tank then rise ridiculously, so... I admit, I might be over-worrying, but still. It's kind of terrifying watching something that can so hugely impact my life which I have no impact upon.

Twilyght. Your irresponsibility shocks me.

You know dogs are not allowed in the dog Park.

Nate Silver at FiveThirtyEight has probably the best handle on things.  Different polls can vary wildly, but he aggregates all the data, weights it by how reliable a particular poll is likely to be, and then feeds in a bunch of historical data as well.  It's not looking good for Drumpf.

Poor Bruce.  He'll be in for a rude awakening when Leia shuns him.  She...she thinks she's a cat.

I am still not 100% sure I even know what the heck that means.

'Twill be quite fabulous indeed.

I think the most important thing to consider will be, Can you march in Costume X? You don't want to go, for example, as a vampire with a floor-length gown and long, inconvenient flowy sleeves. Also important: what has the weather been like lately in your area? Marching is hard work, so if the weather's been warm lately you probably want a costume that won't bake you alive. (On the other hand, football games happen largely after the sun has gone down, so you might want something warmer for the portion of the game where you're not on the field marching.)

If you are looking for Sanderson costume ideas, you could probably go as a Mistborn, provided your mistcloak is short enough not to get underfoot. You'd also be able to adjust for temperature; I've seen Mistborn costumes that include a waistcoat or vest and others that just use an old-fashioned, sort of Renaissance-style blouse up top (worn by women, obviously).

Remind me again what instrument you play in the band? It's not mellophone, is it? You might be able to put together a punny costume based on your instrument.

So your dog thinks she's a superior being and that everyone should obey her very whims?

It is not about dressing about someone or something, it is about being as weird and scary as possible. You could in theory wear a bag over your head as long as you make it look terrifying.

Leia is secretly a cat in a dog mecha.

Or you know, you can wear a bag over somebody else's head. That'd probably be pretty spooky.

That sounds like their new ploy in taking over the spot as number one pet.

Be the bag.

Cats are already ruling the world, after the insects and cephalopods, of course, but the cats do not know that.

And then have somebody ele's wear you as their costume. You know, the traditional body bag costume.

I know, the reach of the Illumikitty is deep.

October is always a strange month when it comes to weather. It could be anything from 80 degrees to a freezing downpour.

Being a mistborn is quite tempting. I'm not sure if I can cobble a costume together with the time constraints, though. I knew I should've gotten on this earlier, but... essays...

A mistborn costume shouldn't be that hard, though, right?

I play baritone. I'll see what puns I can come up with.

He'll recover when others adore him. He likes attention. And food.

On a cheerier and less political note, one of my favorite online artists has graced us with another piece from the Potterverse.

Of course you'd watch eight movies featuring Uncomfortably Attractive Voldemort. Don't lie to yourself.  

 

 

I'd watch it. Uncomfortably, but still.
