Not struggling lately. I’ve been sleeping pretty hard thanks to my good friend Melatonin, or in some cases one third of an Advil PM (never more than two nights in a row). That puts me in another world.

To be honest I still don’t know what I’ll be dressing up as. I’ll be going out with my non-sister, who’ll be going as M3GAN (I’m jealous) but I need to come up with something that compliments that theme.

I mowed my parents’ lawn, took the trash out, went shopping and did some Christmas projects. So far that’s about it. But I have all night to catch up…with some nice non-constructive down time.

If I’m done posting here on the forums in ten minutes I intend to resume wrapping Christmas presents. I’m getting a late start as it is so I need to get moving. But since it's unlikely I'll be done here in ten minutes, I'll get an even later start.

A black t-shirt with the classic Star Wars logo in white outline, and jeans with pink socks.

Upper 50s and clear here in Anaheim. It's getting just a tad cooler by the day. A hopeful concept.

I wish I’d taken a photo or video of a UFO I saw from on a flight from Seattle to Hawaii. I’m not saying it was full of little green dudes from Mars, but it wasn’t a conventional flying vehicle, hence unidentified. There was also a pure moment I witnessed last winter after picking up a pizza at a local restaurant. It was late and the place closed as I walked out the door. Through the window I saw the girl who made the pizza, sweeping up and dancing around the room, just happy to be done for the day. t was so spontaneous and cool, I just loved it. Not a bad dancer either. I wish I had a little video of that quiet happy moment. I would have also liked to have taken more pics and vids at Star Wars Celebration 2. The staff was pointlessly obsessive about preventing attendees from using cameras so I missed a lot of opportunities. I should have taken more on the sly. For the money I paid, I should have been given a freaking press pass.

Dang, @TheRockARockster. Now I have to update this post cuz you just made me all misty. You're seeing this LIVE, folks! As it happens!

A couple of weeks ago, I think. I was at the tail end of long medical ordeal with lots of complications. I had lasting physical and emotional pain from some of it, and I had to let it vent.

I got stung by a Yellowjacket. It didn’t feel great but I was more angry than anything else. I’ve destroyed their nest so many times over the years but they still keep coming back and stinging me. I was doing my last lawn mowing of the year and they just had to make sure they sent me off with a memento of the experience. As soon as it gets cooler I’m going to go nuke the little bastards…again.

I bought a Far Side day-to-day calendar for next year.

I had a simple dinner tonight; Hamburger Helper with some jalapenos and extra cheese tossed in. Tasty.

Cold coffee; black, bleak, unsweetened. No love there at all.

I spend a couple hours, tops. Less if I can get away sooner. I'd rather pretend the internet doesn't exist at all.

My favorite comics and comic strips: Uncle Scrooge (Carl Barks classics), Pogo, Calvin and Hobbs, Star Wars (various, but I like a lot of the older Dark Horse ones), MLP.

What? No mention of C-3PO and R2-D2??

Same here. That would be great as a Halloween ep. I'm glad you mentioned it because I'm running low on suitable MLP eps that fit. Another good call!

Cool shades, Travs. I have a pair just like 'em cuz they match my blue car. We're twins!

Aww, but those are some of the nicest sound effects in the whole park. I could be lulled to sleep by such peace-inducing tones.

@Sparklefan1234 Some may do that if they're paranoid about it. I've never done it personally but I know there are some CMs that don't like working in there.

Nice vid, Sparks! You should see the Haunted Mansion after hours with all the lights on. It’s fascinating to walk through on foot, and really eye-opening. (And they say it’s actually haunted too, for real!)

@Sparklefan1234 I’m adding Going to Seed to my line-up. Good call, Sparks! Sleepless in Ponyville is a good one to add too, come to think of it.

Don’t worry, Zigg, I haven’t forgotten the Halloween candy; I’ve been eating it since September.

The temps went up a little here today, but it was windy so that helped a bit. Still waiting to feel October’s bite.

@Fluttershutter Wow, there are TONS of these games! I’m going to try a few and see if my brain is up to the task. These look way better than traditional games to me.
