Lunch with two of my three girls at a different bar today. We're not going to get lit, but we are gonna talk shit.

Wow. Just wow.

Congrats to my Dodgers fans, condolences to my Blue Jays fans.

That was a wild ride of a series.

So much so. I'd have already puked on this roller coaster ride if I was a fan.

Christin Haws @kikiwrites.bsky.social · 17h

Blessing to the Dodgers and Jays fans. This is exquisite torture. Just brutal.

The band was great and the weather was warm enough to be comfortable, but also cold enough to keep me awake. And I was home with dinner by 7.

Winning all around.

Thank you!

Going to see a band play after work today.

I hope they allow naps at the bar.

A grand total of twenty-four trick-or-treaters for the night. Getting fewer every year.

A few more handfuls of children have come through. One of them told me that she loved my house while petting my screen door. She then told me to have the happiest Halloween ever. Pretty sure I was just blessed.

Nealy an hour and a half in and we finally got our first trick-or-treaters. A princess, a pokemon, and an I don't know, but rock on, good sir.

It's a shame that the devil can't entice innocent young children anymore.

An hour in and not a single trick-or-treater.

Episode 78 of Book 'em, Danno is live! A killer has Five-O reliving their old cases and then they have to take on a major fencing operation. Ray Danton is shirtless at some point. Enjoy.

I've been peer pressured into wearing my costume to work today for the library's Halloween party. I look forward to all of the people asking, "Why are you dressed up?" until the party starts.

If this isn't rage bait, then I snicker at the audacity of man getting on the internet to boldly proclaim he has no taste in music. This is a list of bangers.

Found out that Reginald startled another unsuspecting coworker today as well.

I moved him tonight and sent that pic in the work group chat..

He still ended up startling yet another coworker.

They are all going to be so happy when Reginald stops haunting the main floor next month.

This month patrons are playing "Find Reginald", our probably haunted Charlie McCarthy-looking doll. I'm in charge of moving him around the main floor and usually I send a pic to staff so they know where he is.

Monday was a cluster & I didn't send the pic.

My business manager may never forgive me.

If you see this, post a vampire who isn't Dracula.

Ron Masak dressed as a vampire with grey make-up, red lips, slicked back black hair, a white shirt with a black vest, and a black cape. His arms are spread wide because he's in mid-vampire declaration.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Blog: Poem--"In Autumn We Don't Walk Alone"

Your monthly poetry torture comes with a slightly spooky vibe.

Poem–“In Autumn We Don’t Walk Alone”

I wanted to come up with a horror poem for the month, but then I thought, aren’t all of my poems terrifying in their own way? So, I settled for a more seasonal, slightly spooky poem instead. …

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."
