lately the cat has been smelling like garbage. possibly because she tipped over the garbage and ate whatever she found.
so today i washed the cat. stella was surprisingly agreeable and let me blow dry her after. such a weird cat. i would have taken pictures if my hands weren’t full of wet cat.
so if my brain were a computer, let’s say a PC (even though i’m totally a mac girl), and you hit ctrl-alt-delete to see what programs were using the most memory or ram or whatever, my background worry program would be off the charts. this program would be one of those ones that runs in the background and has no purpose other than to suck up memory and such. my worrying is basically a virus in my brain.
so maybe writing some of them down will make them seem silly and i will stop? probably not. here goes anyway:
A SHORT LIST OF IRRATIONAL WORRIES
+ that i will lose control of my motor functions while my foot is on the brake and hit the pedestrians crossing the street at a red light.
+ that the one grey hair i found today has many friends ready to hatch and one day i will go prematurely grey.
+ that the cat’s newest behavior is a result of the diet that she’s on (see video below).
and now, stella:
once again, a short post.. i promise i will be more sane after next tuesday.

SHAMELESS PROMOTIONS
if you’re in the buffalo area, come see buffalo contemporary dance tomorrow @ 8pm, sunday @ 2pm or next weekend, same times. if you prefer theater, come see city of angels @ UB (nov. 14-18) – i am responsible for the thunder noises in the 2nd act. so it will sort of be like i’m there. and if you want even more dance – come see me dance in zodiaque studio ensemble nov. 29-dec. 2. <>
and now a cat picture. 
halloween represented in pictoral fashion (plus a few short sentences).
oh – and we had trick or treater’s!! my very first halloween being on the other side of the door (although for like the past 6 or 7 i think i have not been ringing doorbells…). i actually got to pass out candy! which was weird. and caused alot of ridiculous pre-candy handing out stress. what do you say when they come to the door? is it lame if i’m wearing a costume? do you hand out the candy, or do they pick? will i have enough? what if i only get 2 kids? what if we get 90?
should i put the pumpkin on the porch (where it could catch some unsuspecting kid’s cape on fire)? should they come to the front or side door (we live on the corner)? the front door is easily accessible, but has rickety stairs (lawsuit?) but the side door is harder to see if people are coming.
but i survived. here are some pictures.
the FIRST costume (this one didn’t work out)
the second costume
bewitching (notice my solution to the pumpkin issue.. put it on a chair! no one was harmed during the evening – success!)
HORRIBLE THINGS
AWESOME THINGS
in case you didn’t know, halloween / october / fall is my favorite holiday / month / season, so i’ve been in the autumn mood around the house! i think its time for a list.
HALLOWEENIE (i said weenie) THINGS I HAVE BEEN UP TO
1. decorating the apartment in a halloweenish setting.
2. making things with pumpkin in it – pumpkin cake, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin pie. mmm.
3. finding my way out of a corn maize maze*.
4. making jack’o'lanterns (inspiration).
5. making delicious ding dong spiders (inspiration).
6. hallowine mystery wine tasting tour.
7. living with a black cat.
PICTURES OF THESE THINGS (because pictures are more fun)
1-3 – no pictures. sorrry
4. nate’s masterpiece (pun intended) – how am i supposed to display this??
MY PG-13 pumpkin
5. DING DONG SPIDERS
number one is an alien. he is here to eat your brains.
number two is just evil.
7. obligatory halloween cat
*yes i know that corn maize maze is redundant. i also know that when going to places where puns are so easily made (CORNy puns, i might add), you should leave nate. but i didn’t follow either, so why start now?
once again, i’m feeling lazy, so this entry will be mostly pictures and un-ordered lists (remember that from mgs351? -, etc). ok i lied, these are mostly little blurbs rather than lists. and the one list is ordered… its numbered. and no pictures. whatever. i should have just deleted and re-written the first sentence, but instead i just keep writing. wow.
IN OTHER NEWS
my contacts are really messed up so i often have to take one out in the middle of the day (usually while on campus). this has resulted in much one-eyed driving and many more headaches than necessary. i don’t really know what to do since… well i just don’t know what to do. i guess i could call my optometrist. nah.
i am performing tomorrow night (well tonight since its now 1am) at the CFA in a poetry collaboration project. thing. with dancers. and poetry. and weirdness. at least our dance has music… some of the pieces are just people reading a poem and dancers dancing. i’m not autistic artistic enough for those type of performances. i would probably just giggle. i guess i’m not mature enough.
PODCASTS I HAVE BEEN ENJOYING LATELY
i have recently discovered the majesty of podcasts. i have always detested them based on their name alone, i thought they were stupid because they were another corny mutation of iGhey slash Apple/Mac lingo. but now i have fully embraced their corniness (and free of chargeness) and am now a believer. i have seen the light.
so for all of you (equal: no one) who also enjoy podcasts, i will list the ones that i have found particularly interesting. they are all based around my driving habits since that is when i listen to them. because i’m a huge dork and like to listen to audiobook-ish things. apparently the parental-o-meter from last entry didn’t gauge horrible interests because then i would totally be kenzilla. audiobooks and all. (oooh unordered list!!! see i didnt lie)
those are three that i’m sold on for now. i will let you know when i like a new one. cause i know you’re waiting with baited breath. ooh podcast. so sexy. and now a random cat picture because i said i didn’t have pictures and now aren’t you surprised?
okbye.
