Wow. A real weekend. What a concept!
I am so so so glad it's Friday. And I have such big weekend plans: Sleep in. Get up to pee and eat. Nap. Ahhh.
In the meantime, please see this excellent essay on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kalinobeche's LJ regarding the sad, insensitive, and ultimate ignorance of George W. Bush. And chronovore posted a fantastic piece on Science vs. Creationism.
Regarding the most recent memes, I'm trying to answer most memory ones, but I think the "wake up in bed one" is silly, so sorry you won't be getting an answer from me on that. Exceptmesniu, whose meme I answered before I really thought about it. =) I have this weird antipathy towards asking for comments here, so I won't be posting either on my LJ. But if you are simply burning to post a memory of me, fine, I won't stop you. I won't feel bad if nobody does. It's just not my thing.
Last night I went to Hancock's to pick up a couple patterns (one's for an xmas present, really!) and got shanghai'd by some amazing fabric. I swear, I was walking towards the checkout counter with my two little patterns and this fabric leapt off the display stand and demanded I purchase it. All of it. All ten yards. Red, orange, and blue striped metallic cotton that will make a stunning tribaret piece. It's gorgeous. Trust me. I already have plans for my next costume--a leopard print cabaret number--but this will be the one after that. Yum.
And now,

1. What do you like or dislike about autumn? Dislike: It means winter is on the way. I'm trying to be friendlier to autumn, but it's a challenge.
2. Have you raked leaves into a pile just to jump in them? No, but I used to jump in the piles my dad raked when we lived in Indiana. We lived on a lot with 15 trees.
3. Have you ever carved a pumpkin and how did it turn out? I love carving pumpkins even though I'm not so good at it.
4. Have you ever eaten anything made from pumpkins other than pie? The pumpkin soup at Mother Pockets's was amazing. I'd love the recipe for that...
5. Where is a good spot to see the leaves change color where you live? Old West Lawrence is great when we have a colorful year, as is the park over by Potter Pond. Dunno that we're going to have a pretty season this year, though. Looks like everything's going to go from green to brown.

1. Have you made any Halloween plans? I have an invitation to a costume party on the 28th. Chris Scruggs is playing at Knuckleheads on the 29th. I'm not sure I have the energy or motivation for either, though...
2. At what age should you stop trick-or-treating? I'd say about 11 or 12. Once you're a teenager, you're too old.
3. What's your favorite kind of Halloween candy? Reese's Miniature Peanut Butter Cups.
4. Are you more likely to trick someone else or be tricked yourself? Neither.
5. Do you believe in ghosts? Yep.
