We're about to watch the V miniseries. We're gluttons for punishment. :) But hey, Morena Baccarin!

Summary of Halloween party prep!
We're going to have a busy few evenings here. The party is midday on Saturday. On Friday (I guess?) Matt, Ashley, and baby boy Dyson will arrive -- and we'd rather be done with party prep by then so we can focus on them.

Stuff to do...

  • Buy munchies. We have a ton of candy, DON'T buy more.
  • Maybe order party platters?
  • Get table covers
  • Decorate!
  • Unpack Buglet's costume, remove tags, try it on
  • Carve at least 2 pumpkins -- Mom will probably want me to do hers too. Hopefully I can get someone else to empty them out first.
  • Try on Kiki's costume.
That last bullet is a point of amusement for me. Mom brought this little orange satin dress sort of thing, with pumpkin face and cute ruffle, from Delaware for Buglet... but... it's actually a dog costume! The Buglet is too big for it and... well... dog costume. XD So we think it'll fit Kiki instead. But hey, it's cool to have it.

Somehow at some point I also want to do more SL building, play CoH with my brother... and... uh... well... lots of stuff. @_@ Whew!

This Posterous crossposting utility is proving to be very interesting.
I'm testing out http://posterous.com as a way to post to Twitter,
Facebook, and Livejournal simultaneously... through a single email.
That aspect is really nice. You can also send a SMS through your phone
for a short tweetish message.

I ran a few test posts which I deleted, but you might have seen in
passing. All went well. I can embed a photo using a link to a flickr
pic, etc. ... I could also use this to post directly to flickr as
attachments but eh, I prefer my existing update path for those.

The way it works... extended posts like this one bring you to
Posterous.com (which is where you go from FB or twitter) and the default
settings also collect comments on Posterous. However, I'm REALLY not
inclined to check yet another site for comments, so instead I made
myself a custom sig to divert comments to your venue of choice, like
so:

Sitting up! Also, twitterposts.

Buglet can sit up pretty well on her own now. She only keels over maybe once every couple minutes. And, twitterposts:

# Wargh why am I still sick? I was sick Thursday, didn't eat anything, felt better Friday. Resumed eating, got sick again through now. GRRRR.

# SD Davy Jones! http://bit.ly/19pWpj

Cute pic of me and my lil' girl
Also, a couple days of tweets:

I find Twitter handy to just randomly state little things about life. Microblogging is low-pressure. Plus it automatically crossposts to Facebook, woo.

Anyway, here's the last few days. Not many posts. Life is busy / exhausting.

1. YAY my cousin is here! And she never saw Fight Club and didn't know the ending, so we showed her. Mueeeheheheheh.

2. Yay, my new Canon G11 camera: http://tr.im/CNqk ... See http://tr.im/buglet for test shots using diff. settings on my fancy new flash.

3. @mindeclipse Whyyy is this strip not in my "check these comics for updates" folder? *makes bookmark* Thank you! Always enjoy it. :)

4. Blaargh what a night... Staying home sick to stabilize. Why does my digestive crap (har pun) always start in the wee (har) hours of night? (from Thursday AM)

From Twitter
# I was feeding Buglet this morning and she bit me with the first little bit of her brand new tooth. Yeowwwch! But yay for tooth. :D

# My cousin Tine is visiting Friday night and Saturday daytime. All excited! Hey @twoflower -- wanna hang out or something? Probably Fri.?

# @Twoflower The Prisoner? I'll watch anything with McKellen in it. J.C. ("Jesus" Caviezel) is just gravy.

# @Twoflower RE: where to hang out. She's actually going to be at your house first, hanging with Mom, waiting for us all to finish work.

# @Twoflower Clearly you picked the wrong month to whip out your book so fast. ;)

And an epic win for nature. Never seen a sunset like this before -- the coral and gold on purple? Egads!

Today's twitter posts
  • @KeikoTakamura I'm trying to find a good RP sim too. I hate meters yet don't mind combat RP, which doesn't help much.
  • averagecats.com/ -- opposite of LOLcats
  • D'oh, Buglet is done playing. I was hoping she'd be busy for longer. We're going to the doctor soon -- 6 months old! Yaaaay! :D

Today's twitter posts
  • Typo of the day: "immoralized" instead of "immortalized." That's almost as fun as "pubic health."
  • Going to body shop later so they can look at the deer-sized dent in my bumper. They'll repair it some other day after I get a rental car...
  • SO excited about Siyu Suen from SL visiting this weekend w/her boyfriend and mom. I'm coincidentally decorating in feathers and purple. :)
  • We really need to get Buglet used to having some baby food every night around dinner time. She needs the practice. This week: pears!
  • Maryland going out of business: bit.ly/164T4s
  • ... damn, my brother beat me to it RE: Maryland. *siiigh* Yes, there goes our lovely state. And we just bought a house there!

This is gonna be the most well-documented baby ever. If we have another one, we'd better make sure to give equal time!

Rolled over for the first time! YAAAY
And we got it on video!

Well, technically the first time was last night when she was asleep, and it woke her up all upset. But this is the first time we saw it happen. :)

Also, see more new stuff here.
