HAPPPY GOTHIC FESTIVAL OF THE LIGHTS AND MYSTERIOUS!!!!

Gletps all,

Twill is unfortunetly direly busy this Gothic Festival of the Ligths and Mysterious (aka: "Halloween") because she has work, and considering how it's a night of drunken partying throughout Merry Ol' Lister, she's definetly going to be uber-busy.

So, on her behalf, and mine:

HAPPY GOTHIC FESTIVAL OF THE LIGHTS AND THE MYSTERIOUS!

I'm not sloshed as I'm writing this, because my friends cancelled on me at the last minute, leaving me all dressed and no place to go....

No fret though... I'm going to dive into the bath soon, with a bottle of wine, and I'm going to watch Clue, the only thing I have that resembles horror in my DVD collection.

Have a good one, everyone!

Here's an account of how my Thanksgiving went a week ago. It was glorious!
I took the bus to Toronto visit my friend of the musical name, and we did pretty much nothing but gorge ourselves silly with food. So much food! We only went out to a restaurant once, for greasy yummy Chinese food, and the rest, we made ourselves! Fresh Pizza, Fresh Dumplings!

I mean, I've never tried to make my own dumplings without the aid of parents before, and it is hard, when you don't remember to follow the steps accordingly. But all the hard work paid off, and I ate so much I think I broke my record.

There's just a lot more things to do in Toronto, of which, I didn't really get to do because of time constraints. But I did get to go to a pretty graveyard, have a glorious photoshoot, and stuff myself senseless.

Even though I couldn't come home for Thanksgiving, it was still lots of hearty good fun. A lesson I learned only on the last night of sleeping on the floor, is that a couple of yoga mats go a long way to easing backpain.

How was everybody's Thanksgiving?

Edmonton, and early wishlist

I'll be up in Edmonton from the 7th to the 11th, just as a heads up for those of you up there, except Jamie who already knows. As such, maybe a little mini-get together? Coffee or something? But not at the Starbucks in WEM? XD

Also some further advanced warning for any plans for PS that may start happening soon. I'll be away from Jan 1st until the end of vacation, not that PS ever really happens later than that.

Anyway, here's also a wishlist, since my birthday is mid-November, and because Christmas isn't actually all that far off again, and because why the heck not? It's just an everyone list, so if anyone decides to do a birthday thing, if you could also add becker@minkhollow.ca and jparker@ucalgary.ca to your list if you send out a 'What I Got' email, that would be awesome, because they are also in posession of an identical list. =D

-Bose in-ear headphones
-Good Photoshop technique book geared for artists rather than photographers.
*-I already have Creative Photoshop by Derek Lea but it's the sort of thing I had in mind =D
-Photoshop Studio Techniques by Ben Wilmore
-A poseable wooden hand for artists. Sounds funny, but they exist.
-Fun stuff to put in/decorate my car. For now, if you go for this, go for neutral coloured things like black or white or silver, since I still don't know what colour my car will be XD
-Book: Dune: House _____ box set by Brain Herbert and the other guy.
-Book: Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku
-Book: The Reign of Starscream (well, graphic novel, really)
-Book: The Paper Soldier by Hugh Laurie
-DVD: Transformers original cartoon series and the the 1980s animated movie.
-The Jim Henson Hour series (not the Storyteller, I've got that already). There aren't DVDs and it might be hard to find a download.
-...Optimus Prime? But not the Transformers: Animated nonsense.
-Also, things with Autobot/Decepticon symbols
-SD cards, preferably 2gb or more (tip: Duracell sells some really cheap)
-Erin needs a Fields Op Rodney McKay action figure.
-Something you think I'd like that you know I couldn't get for myself, or something only you could get me. If you want to paint me a picture or something like that, I'm sure Jamie wouldn't mind you differing to her Erinxpertise.

And I think that's it.

EDIT: I've removed the items I got for my birthday.
