Lizardbeth's Tale

- I hope things aren't too awful for any of you affected by the storm. :(

- Yuletide signups close tomorrow for anyone still sitting on the fence... I am pretty sure which offer I will end up writing - Yulegoat Karma.

- I am five kudos away from a significant number on Poison Rain and it has stalled. IT IS TAUNTING ME. *whimper* However, despite that, I wrote almost 2K on the sequel. Despite the fact that I still need to do final edits on avengersfest. And get ready for NaNo/Big Bang on THURSDAY. And that everyone who cares knows I'm not working on it until next year. yep. Good plan, poor follow through.

- Holy shit, Star Wars Episode VII in 2015. Is this what it feels like to wake up in an alternate universe? But it does make me laugh, because if you ever had the thought that Star Wars was not going to be with us FOREVER, you are now officially wrong. I gotta say I agree with MrLiz who thinks Disney's getting off light.

- LOL at Jane Espenson's instant tweet hoping that they get to use SW characters in OUAT and then Josh Dallas said something about how he was sure Charming had to be Han. hee. It's especially funny as I was just saying elsewhere that OUAT should be able to use Marvel characters especially after Sunday's ep. Lots of characters have magic in the Marvelverse...

- Tomorrow is Halloween! Some of you know that we often do fun pumpkin carvings, but this year my pumpkin rotted away before I could even carve it! It turned all squishy and gross, and now I don't want to do it anymore. bleh.

A few days ago, Kidlet insisted on making a little stop-motion animation of some LEGO toys he'd made. He'd watched me make that little Wall-E vid I put up awhile back and we'd seen some things on t.v. about the making of Fantastic MrFox so he really, REALLY wanted to try it. So I helped set it up, but he took the pictures and made the little motions. I then put it in Movie Maker to make a "movie".

Also in the fun imagery department, I uploaded our jack o lanterns from Halloween. An Alien, A Ghost and ... an airship walk into a bar....
( Wait, an AIRSHIP? yep. )

Sad, when my six year old has a better pumpkin than I do. *G*

I need a design for my pumpkin carving party this year. We're kind of known for cool pumpkins in the neighborhood now, and the pressure's ON. I'm thinking of doing the Alien Xenomorph, but I'll have to make my own pattern. It's not hard with the right photo. *hits up google*

By the way, Disney? Killing off PUMPKIN PATTERNS is especially low and pathetic, even for you. Alas, MrLiz is already salivating over Tron Legacy on IMAX, so at least you'll be able to continue paying your legal team well to go harass pumpkin carvers some more.

Tomorrow is "harvest festival" (aka Halloween carnival) at the school. The costume parade is always a hoot. Kiddo will be an astronaut. He utterly disdained every branded character, even ones he likes like Bumblebee or a Jedi. I'm sort of sad, because it would be cute for him to be my Padawan (since I have a Jedi costume), but an astronaut is cool and nerdy as well.

Pumpkins are carved. Costumes are ready. Candy is in the bowl.

Now I'm waiting for darkness so kiddo can go trick-or-treating.

*twiddles thumbs*
