finally have eveything for the finks' costumes. pobo finally decided on a fairy, because she found wings while we were looking for kitty ears to go with the kitty suit she decided today was her costume instead of the cowgirl she said she was gonna be.

we get to trick or treat TWICE, because tomorrow during the day, there's a downtown trick or treat thing going on with like 60 stores participating.

the finks are sleeping at night now. pobo is taking a damn nap right now, so she might push til like 11 pm, but most nights this week she's been out by like 8. hell, she probably could sleep through from now if I was willing to get up at 4 am.

the finks have discovered the soundtrack to Cabaret now, and both love 'Don't tell mama'

I'm eating better now that I am up during the day, too, which is good.

I'm trying to decide whether to upgrade to the new ubuntu that dropped today. I think I'd have to re-do all the little tweaks and hacks and sit I did to get this system to work the way I want it, with the 2 drives and sit, so I am hesitant. I don't even remember everything I did to get shit working the way it is now. but maybe video etc would work on the new install without so much tweaking?

totally rocking an amanda palmer obsession.

also, found a kickass crochet clutch purse, one side is black with a white skull, te other is reversed, both with a pink ribbn on their heads, lined with skeleton fabric. It was 1.99 and my eee fits in it. I haz cute goff laptop clutch!

Speaking of Cabaret and Amanda Palmer, I have a live recording of her singing "I Don't Care Much." Do you have it? If not, would you like it?

[maevele]

I do not believe I have that one. yes please. it was her cover of 'don't tell mama' that inspired me busting out the cabaret cd in the first place,

I Don't Care Much, it's a 4.13 MB .mp3 at Mediafire.

Oh, a bonus, since I was uploading, AFP performing My Favorite Things from The Sound of Music, this one is 4.56 MB.

Enjoy!

Wait, I have a confuse, is pobo the baby? What's the other kid going as?

[maevele.livejournal.com]

yes, pobo is the baby. pobobaby, is her current chosen name. HQ is being a knight. he decided weeks ago, and stuck with it. leading to the ridiculous search for a knight's helmet that would fit his adult sized head. we finally found him a helmet/masky thing, which will do, since he got the perfect sword.

Ok, that's what I thought but for some reason I just. . .I have the brain worms today, ok? A fairy and a knight, that will be so cute! My costume is comprised pretty much entirely of shit I can pull out of my closet, plus making my friend draw on me.

my costume is my winter coat. I'm going as Jack Harkness, if is coat turned green.

Hee. Costumes like that can be awesome. One year in high school I decided at pretty much the last minute that I was actually not too grown up for trick or treat after all, and my mom was like, "I have an idea". So I gave myself a black eye with makeup and put a big paper letter P on my chest, and went as a black eyed pea. GENIUS, MOM.
