Today, I have realized that there are certain advantages to having a little nephew running around -- and none of them have anything at all to do with potential kodak moment or likewise crap. No, it's all about the food. My nephew -- God bless him -- managed to convince my mother to make pizza for dinner tonight.

Yes, pizza -- which she did.

We're all now voting that she do this again.

Otherwise, my nephew might be upset...

...With some prompting, of course.

I remember when me and my sister were little, we'd go up to my grandparent's house in Maine and we'd make pizza on Christmas Eve for dinner -- and then leave Santa a slice with a nice cold beer.

We were odd children growing up.

Today saw a great amount of success. Not only was the weather good enough for me to get outside and get some pictures taken, but I also managed to wrap up the very first installment of my Halloween project -- as well as include something a bit extra in the mix, too, just because. It must have been the first impulsive thing I've been able to get away with, here, EVER.

Tomorrow, I start work on the next installment...

...And no, I'm not uploading ANY of it until Halloween.

I can be evil when I want to be -- never forget that.

But as far as evil goes, I've already started considering stuff for Christmas as well. Speaking of which, I think I better figure out who I'm giving gifties to this year...not sure how I'll go about that just yet since my head is elsewhere at the moment, but once I think of something I'll be sure to let you guys know first and foremost.

But before I even get to thinking seriously about Christmas, I'm sticking to Halloween for the time being -- and forget Thanksgiving. That would involve dressing someone up as a turkey, and I'm not sure that...

...What a minute.

Meh...I already know what needs to happen after the Halloween stuff gets done...I have a meme, a little girl, and a Couples shot all staring me down...that, and hopefully the next chapter of MxC, but we'll see about that one...

Alas, there is some troubling news I have to pass on -- though it is largely personal and it has very little to do with anything here on this site. I just got wind tonight that two people who really SHOULDN'T be reproducing are doing just that: they are having a baby.

Normally, I would welcome the news of a child being born among my peers with a certain kind of enthusiasm -- more so if the couple in question are stable, intelligent, healthy, affectionate, and have steady jobs. This pair I speak of...yeah, no. If the government made sterilization mandatory for really, really stupid people, then these two would be prime specimens for the program...

Yeah...I don't have very much faith in the human condition...and spend half my days wondering how much chlorine it would take to clean the gene pool.

Even so, I'm determined to close this journal on a good note, so let me end it now by saying that even though we lost a couple of lilacs recently to make way for a waterline, it's looking like it might just get put in before Halloween...for which we are all very excited for!

Until next!
