another odd day
Well, this weekend is Hallowe'en and there is a party at my department. I was assuming I want to go because... Hallowe'en! I came up with a costume and have it mostly together (pirate unicorn, as you do) and have been planning what to make for both this and my work party on Hallowe'en proper.
This means testing said baking (apple tarts with rum? or with cheese? bake filling for both and test :), and also having to go to the store to get whatever I wind up needing. We were supposed to be doing sculpture cleaning today and I was going to go after that, but that got cancelled on account of horrible weather (wet and cold), so instead of being able to stop on my way home, I have to make a special trip.
But then I was lookin at the list of people who are confirmed to be going, and other than the hosts there are maybe 3-4 people I know at all and none I know well, so... I dunno. I want to do something because it is Hallowe'en! But I don't know these people and my idea of party fun is not most people's - I'd rather chill and watch bad movies and play board or cad games than get smashed and play beer pong. However there will be fire which is always nice, and other dogs if the weather is nice, so... I dunno - still worth it I suppose, if I can even find a ride.
I think the weather is making me feel blah - also the fact that despite being woken at 8, I didn't really start my day until like 10:30 -_-
I suppose the best thing to do is to do some dissertation writing this morning, then go to the store this afternoon after it is warmer (not that it is actually cold), and work on my costume tonight. I need to figure out my hooves and decide how fancy-pirate I want to dress with the unicorn bits (which will be head, tail and hopefully hooves!) I really wish I'd found some white tights or pants!
Anyway, I have a whole pot of tea to drink and apple things in the oven, so all in all not that much to complain about :)
...Oh lols I also have a CHEESEBURGERS DATE with![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
tethys123 that I only just remembered! And have offered to help her baby wrangle after for a bit... so - new plans will happen as we go :D Better go get dressed :)
