Randomosity on Fridays: November, November

The first week of November has past, and I am already abysmally behind with my NaNo word count. You can all see my shameful wordage on the sidebar there. It's okay though because I'm not daunted! (This is how I start all NaNos - that is, with optimism.)

Okay, the real reason I'm behind is because I've been watching True Blood. Yeah, I finally jumped on the bandwagon. You may recall, my friends' Halloween costumes were True Blood-related, so I had to begin the series. It's a lot funnier than I thought it'd be and quite addictive.

ANYWAY, Friday 5 and Halloween pictures. :)


1. Being a wind-up doll requires more work than I originally thought. Must make improvements to wind-up key in future. I'm wearing like a million necklaces. All in all though, the costume was a success!

2. I have a lot of friends with November birthdays. It makes the holiday season very fun, but also very difficult when it comes to gift buying. Time moves by in a rush starting like now.

3. Luce has hidden talents. She sewed the double skirt of my sister's Peter Pan costume AND crocheted a cowl-scarf in 2 hours!

4. This is turning out to be like my luckiest year ever! I won 3 books recently, including a signed copy of SHIVER. (Thanks Tahereh & Sherrie!!!) I should go buy some lottery tickets.


5. And pictures pictures pictures!
Dancer at the Edison

Inventor and Doll

Beel and Sookeh (or Bill & Sookie, if you prefer)

Steampunkers & Bill: partying 1800s style


Hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween! Now onwards to a glorious November! Those of you doing NaNo, push on! How are your Novembers looking?

P.S. Have you seen this Poem of Novels / A Poem for a Fallen Angel on Tahereh's blog? It's awesome! I love it!

    >Beel and Sookeh

    ROFL!!! oh, god, they really do sound like that don't they? the show isn't really my cuppa, apart from being weirdly hilarious, so I don't watch it, have just seen enough to appreciate that line.
    thank you so much for that, really made my night:)
    and now I'm going to go watch Zombieland, which friends have assured me is def. hilarious rather than serious.

    You guys look absolutely adorable in the pictures. I love the costumes (now I'm curious where some of them are from).

    I'm also terribly behind on NaNo, but don't give up! We can both do it!

    David- They do! It's hilarious. The show's a little over the top, but I think it's really fun and it's interesting. Glad it made your night. I need to see Zombieland; heard it's good.

    Melissa- I'm still NaNoing! I will let Luce you think she has skills too. Thanks for costume appreciation!

    Lydia- Thanks! I need to learn to crochet!

    Emy- The only recognizable characters are Bill and Sookie. They're from True Blood.
