matrixrefugee~2,500 words down; 47,500 to go. I got a good headstart late last night/early this morning, and I also woke up a little earlier than usual to get started. And I managed to get this much done, even though I had to work and go to Mass tonight. Whew!
Now waiting for the MxO updates to download, and me with the 56K dial-up modem. I feel like contacting them and asking if they could just burn the updates onto CD-ROM and send them to me by UPS or FedEx? This could take a while
I asked Constantine if he does Hallowe'en at all. He laughed out loud at me, which set off one of his coughing fits. When he recovered, he said, "Every day is Hallowe'en for me, sort of."
Ref decided to dress as "the Fashion Thing" from the "Sandman" comics, in a slightly messed-up 18th century gown, only trouble is, all last night, she had to keep explaining what she was. We weren't sure what the Merv was gonna dress as, or if he'd dress up for Hallowe'en at all (Not that he has to, he can be scary enough as himself...), but as I was entering the Houseparty's space, I happened to bump right into the Merv: he had his hair bleached blonde-ish and he was wearing a denim jacket over a white tee shirt and blue jeans, topped off with very thick sunglasses. Quite unlike his usual neo-19th century style.
Me: "All right, I'll bite: what the hell are you?"
tM: ::Pushes down the sunglasses revealing the fake pearly whites where his blue-green-greys should be:: "Your worst nightmare." ::Said with an American accent::
Me: "EEK!" ::Internal: Leave it to this guy to dress as the Corinthian::
Unfortunately, Cecie and I decided to have a little fun with this: we kept lobbing "Creepy Peepers" -- Hallowe'en candies that look like eyeballs -- at the Merv's back all evening. He didn't think that was funny at all, and I'm shuddering at what the payback could be.
Hal McGeever on Flood: "I've heard of the fashion police, but this guy is a one-AI version of the fashion Gestapo."
