Hm. Guess I should do a real update, huh?

I spent most of my day yesterday raking the lawn, and it's still not done. Meh. 1/4 of the front lawn and the backyard left to go. Erm. Next week, maybe?

The Halloween parties last night were cool. I'm not much of a partier in the first place, but I like to go an observe people. Most of the time it looks like I'm being antisocial and quiet, but really, I just like to watch how other people are behaving. It's weird. Anyway, the first party we went to, we were early. A few kids. The guy who owned the house (Art?) was trying to start a fire and light some torches outside. Heh. There were some amusing costumes -- two people came as a fork and knife and one guy was dressed up as Neo from Matrix. There was also a Charlie Brown with a snoopy attached to his belt XD Lots of accents in that crowd! :D Seriously, nothing is more entertaining to me than a room full of people with accents I just have to be careful when I speak because I have a tendency to start mimicking them. There was a lady with hmm... it was either an Irish or Scottish accent - she was dressed like a harem girl. And Charlie Brown was Scottish. Neo was British. It was getting a wee bit crowded though. The second party was cool, too. mcmi11ions met up with us there. Lots of 80s tunes and stuff.

I need to download I Love the 80s 3D. Too, too entertaining. Plus commentary from Hal Sparks, Wil Wheaton, and Jorge Garcia! Also, I just watched 1984 and they talked about Doug Flutie's Hail Mary at the Boston/Miami game, which of course made me think of John Sheppard.

Dear SGA fandom: Baby!animals and gender bending?! You are all on crack. CRACK.

I can't decide if I want to knit myself a Tard Scarf (I mean, really, where would I wear it?), Vala's gold scarf, or Freya's giant green/brown scarf from Toughtcrimes.

And a weekend is not complete without some jackholery. My father called earlier in the week to let me mother know that he's only got $9 left in his account, so she'd better stop using his money. It's a good thing she, you know, never did. This weekend, he demanded that she go and deposit a check for him. The bank teller tells her that the account has been overdrafted has now got a balance of -$560. *snort* Anyway, he calls this morning to complain again about the money and to tell me that he has this bracelet he bought me for my birthday and what do I want im to do with it. Uhm. First of all. What the fuck that was like two months ago and do whatever the hell you want with it. He's also telling me I should harass the doctors into telling me what's wrong and that I should go to NYC so he can find me a better doctor down there. I tell him that my insurance won't cover it and he says that's impossible and should just tell them I'm going to see another doctor. He has no idea how insurance works because, oh, he never had to buy his own insurance. Ever. He gets coverage from my mother so he's never had to look at plans or anything since she has one that will allow coverage for any doctor in the state and he doesn't need a PCP. Mine? So restricted. He won't believe me of course and gets all pissed off and says I don't know what I'm talking about and that's impossible and what does it matter who's paying for it I should just listen to him. Cripes. So I just gave the phone back to my mother and she's telling him the same thing before she finally hung up on him. The man makes my blood boil.

Charlie Brown was Scottish - and he went with the butterfly, who's american.
The Harem Girl (or was she a gypsy?) is Scottish, too - her hubbie wasn't there, who's also Scottish.
Neo was British - and he went with the Kitty.
the fork & knife were French

and yes, Art and Mary had the first party. Jim and Mary had the second party.
^_^

Yay! I got the accents mostly right :-P I didn't hear the French couple long enough to be able to tell and I was leaning towards Scottish with the Harem/gypsy lady.

Jackhole makes my blood boil.

hee. yep! the french couple have accents, but his is much more pronounced than hers - unless she's trying to be french. *g*

you should have seen her the one year she was Austin Powers - she was great!

and, i don't mean to pry, but does he still live with you?

*snort* But then I risk others thinking I am sad and don't know how to knit. I don't think I'm that secure XD

Well, I suppose techinically he does still live here, but he's got a share in a condo down in Queens somewhere and hasn't been home in like four month :-P heh

Glad you had fun at your party -- I wound up spending a lot of time parked at a table and knitting at the one I went to, but then again I was sitting there with friends talking and the dance music pretty much sucked.
