My paltry book list for October.

( Two whole books. Still cutting them tho :P )

I have started a short story compilation called The Ladies of Grace Adieu. I've only read the first story so far but I rather enjoyed it. Considering once I got the audio book of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell I really enjoyed that book too. So since Ladies... is from the same author and are short stories based in the same setting, I should enjoy it. :D I just got to get myself to read it.

And I noticed that since we've hit November 1st, Christmas advertising and items have taken off. Which is okay for the Starbucks cups. I liked their paper cups last year and I like them again this year. Which may or may not be the same design since I don't keep track.

I don't know why I'm just noticing this. Maybe because part of me wonders is it really that close to Christmas already? Dad's already asking for a Christmas list. I should make sure my Amazon wish list is up to date.

Maybe I should just go work for a cupcake shop. :>

Happy Valentine's day!

Go forth and spread the love!

So, here's a neat article for y'all: Ten Awesome Costumes You Slackers Can Get Done By Friday

Which gave me the idea: Steampunk! And then, dammit, I don't have any clothes like that. And I don't think I have the monies to go to a thrift store to see if I can find anything. (I got like $15 right now. :> )

So, yeah, I can't figure out what costume I want to wear on Friday. I've been thinking this over most of this week. So I have the options of my other anime convention costumes: Aruruu, Shinsen Gumi, maybe even Ouran... I have that neat blue robe from quite a few Halloweens ago, but I'm not sure of what I can put with it anymore. My Renfest costume.

My fairy outfit isn't ready yet so that's out.

Drat. Ideas? :>

Although...now that I think of it, maybe I can combine the Renfest skirt with a button up white shirt... Or or or...something... I still like the steampunk idea.
