Late Halloween post
by Denise Sawicki on November 3, 2007

Well now that my little goo is expired I can mention how our Halloween party went. I think it went OK. A few people knew who we were pretending to be. I think Darrin looks particularly convincing as the New Number 2. I guess I am glad that not *everyone* in the world got the goo :-). It was supposed to say, "This goo is not number 1118" as I wanted to avoid using the phrase "not a number" to make it just a tiny bit less obvious, but we can chalk that phrasing difference up to my inability to communicate.
Here we are. By the way, a highly budget-conscious person should never purchase a fleece scarf for $6 when they can instead go to Walmart and have the fleece cut to the desired width for an instant scarf for less than a dollar, as we did :P. Need I mention how much I hate pictures of myself? I think not. I'm sure everyone realizes that about me already.

If you mean the guy on "the" right rather than "my" right, we thought ourselves that he kind of looks like George Washington :P. That is Darrin (with the scarf and umbrella) as number 2. The one in the white-edged blazer is my husband Darrell as Number 6.

HAHAHA... I'm glad I wasn't the only one -- I was hesitant to say anything, but "George Washington" was *exactly* what I was thinking... ;-D

I still think those outfits turned out pretty darn cool. Well done, Denise. :-)

D&D update
The guys made it to 4th level and then we added 2 new characters. We had a dragonborn warlord and an elf ranger, at 4th level we added an eladrin wizard and a dwarf fighter. Darrell is playing the fighter and warlord, Darrin has the ranger (though he's not exactly into the game so we're lucky if we're able to call him to the table to actually make his dice rolls) and I got the wizard even though I'm DM :-P.

False Hope
So the guys' band had a show on Saturday and it went really well. A bunch of people came up to say they did a good job, and the headlining band (another local act) really liked the music and wants to do other shows together. And they even got paid! Go »
Our first Con?
Darrell and I are thinking of going to this: http://www.valleycon.com/. We have never been to such an event before, and it is kind of expensive, but: A. Londo is one of our favorite TV characters ever B. Go »

So... not sure exactly why I live in this ridiculous state of North Dakota. I can tell myself that we're better off than California much of the time but who's to say? Go »
Stuff you may not realize about me :)
I don't know if people realize this, but I do talk, and I do have a sense of humor of a sort... it's just that it's only with Darrell and Darrin that these things come out! It seems my frame of reference for the world is quite a bit different than most people's. Go »
