I wish everyone (i.e. the couple of people) who read my blog a very happy Halloween!
I bought Mika a very expensive Wonder Woman costume because for a month all she could talk about was being Wonder Woman. Now she changed her mind and is going to be Belle (a costume she already had). I’d be mad if I didn’t expect it.
Camila is going to be a dog, a costume I borrowed from Rosemarie. I’m also taking with me a princess costume (the one she wore last year), in case *she* changes her mind. But it’s cold, so I think a dog is better.
I love Halloween myself. We had a party with close friends and it was really fun. But after a month of having the decorations up, I’m ready to take them down. Alas, I don’t have many Thanksgiving decorations, but I’ll make do.
My god! What a boring blog post!

It’s always hard to buy for Mike, as he doesn’t really want much and what he wants (like a digital SLR camera) is too expensive. So I decided to start his list early as he expresses interest in specific items. I’ll add to the list as he mentions more stuff.
- Robocop 20th Anniversary Edition DVD
- Blade Runner (Five-Disc Ultimate Collector’s Edition)
- A titanium or silver small hoop earring (he just got his ear pierced again)
- Wii games (not Mario Brothers or Wii play) – I’m getting him a Wii for Xmas (he knows)
- I am America and So Can You by Stephen Colbert
Von Wernich, a Catholic priest who worked in the secret detention camps in Argentina, was just convicted to life in prison for a number of kidnappings, tortures and murders. AFAIK, this is the first time a priest is convicted of such acts in Latin America – though there have been Rwandan priests convicted of crimes against humanity and genocide.
So I’m thrilled – the process of justice has been slow but the wheels are finally turning.
In other happy news Mike and I won a number of items at the silent auction for Girls Inc. we had at the Women of Taste event. I got a gift certificate for the Lawrence Hall of Science, a barrel wine tasting and four bottles of wine, a photography session and something else I can’t remember. We also won a gift certificate to La Note in the raffle. All very cool, and the money goes to a good cause.
A woman entering a federal courthouse in Idaho was ordered to remove her bra, and pass it through the metal detector. She wasn’t even given a place to do it – instead told to go to her car (yeah, because that would be so private, and it’d be so easy for a woman with large breasts to walk back to the court house braless). It is unconscionable to me that such a thing would be done and that the Marshal Service would not even apologize for making her do it. I wish I had their phone number to call them and protest on her behalf. I do hope that she’s able to sue them.
