have a playful weekend.

my friends, what is everyone up to this halloween weekend? tonight, i plan to be a grading and cleaning machine, and tomorrow, johnny and i are having a few pals over to celebrate halloween with board games, snacks and we're really hoping to get some trick or treaters in our hood. for the first time in forever, i live in a walk-up apartment vs. a large complex. we're still trying to figure out a costume, since the original plan fell through, and as a note to myself, i'd like to say on record that i plan to never attempt to dress up again. is that grouchy of me, or what?

a few lovely links from around the web this week. . .

make your own academic sentence, for all of us nerds :)

thank you, gourmet.

the sweetest thing.

i'm going to remember this fall as the fall of rain, and think i need these to pull me through.

loving on these photos.

a pillow for camping, or your living room.

oh, how i envy this outfit.

and, may i recommend listening to this & this.
