Happy Halloween, y’all
SO YOU GUYS
Remember that ss*bb story I wrote?
And that post about maybe turning it into a series?
And that strange new site with a graphic that implied something would happen today?
I finally got to level 50, yay

I am ready for Halloween, oh yes
My Power Girl costume, it is DONE. …well, I’m going to need to just make the belt out of wide ribbon or something, because for the life of me I can’t get a decent one out of the same stuff I used for the cape. BUT IT IS DONE.
I had a minor scare involving undergarments to wear with it. Those of you who are familiar with Power Girl know why you can’t just wear any old bra with this particular costume. Those of you who aren’t… well, here are two subtle hints for you.
So! I had a bra that would work with the costume, but it’s not my favorite bra. It’s a little too loose these days, and the underwires are very securely sheathed, but still rather pokey. Still, it would manhandle the girls into the required configuration with a minimum of fuss and without peeking out through the boob window.
But the fabric store had those stick-on bras that were nothing but two cups and a clasp. The biggest they had: D. My size: depending on the bra, DD or DDD. The stick-on bra was $8. I figured it’d be worth a try.
Oh God, the poor thing never had a chance against the twin towers. I gave it a hero’s funeral.
In other Halloween news, there’s been a slight change in the game plan for dealing with uncostumed candy-begging twits. The grocery store had packs of little paper treat bags. I bought a pack. In each bag, there will be a small rock or a few hex nuts and an index card reading “lol pwned, no costume no candy” or some such. The former is just to give the bag a little weight when it drops into the offender’s treat bag. I think I’ll still pop into the 99 cents store tomorrow just to see if they have some large bags of worthless crap I can put in the bags so I don’t have to rip off a few handfuls of pea gravel from the park.
That Moist Plague
Apparently, “moist” is a bad word now.
Well, I guess there’s really only one thing for someone so mature and refined as myself to say about that.
MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST
EXCUSE ME YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG.
If you see nothing wrong with this, GET THE FUCK OUT.
There’s no “gray area” about it. Copying someone else’s article, changing a few words whether with “softwares” or your brain, putting your name on it, and making money off it (none of which goes to the person who did the hard work you ripped off) is not cool, ever, period, full stop, end of sentence.
Halloween plan
- Buy big bag of candy
- Buy bag of erasers, toothbrushes, or other booby prizes
- Make sign for door: “Little kid, big kid, teenage, and grownup trick-or-treaters welcome. BUT: if you’re “too big” to wear a costume, you’re “too big” to trick-or-treat. NO COSTUME = NO CANDY. “
- Give candy to people who actually get what Halloween is about and take the time and trouble to dress up.
- Give toothbrushes and erasers to lazy bastards who don’t.
- Have can of silly string, Super Soaker, water balloons, or other such deterrents on hand for uncostumed teenagers who feel like pressing the issue in a less-than-civil manner.
- ???
- PROFIT
Really, I don’t understand the prejudice against big kids and grownups trick-or-treating as long as they’re putting some effort into it. Yeah, if they’re just roaming around in street clothes going “gimme candy,” they need a toothbrush in their bag and a blast from the hose, but wtf?
brrrr
‘Sup, fall! I was wondering when you were going to show up.
Tomato soup + grilled cheese sandwich: great fall food or greatest fall food?
I had a happy accident with tonight’s batch of homemade tomato soup. I was afraid I’d ruined it, but it ended up being awesome.
Tomato Soup a la Chaobell
Recipe uses fuzzy measurements. Really, it’s simple and flexible enough that some pretty wide variances on amounts according to your taste won’t hurt anything.
For one big bowl of soup, I chopped up about 2-3 tbsp. of yellow onion and sauteed it with a little olive oil, garlic, and red wine (I used shiraz, because it was there). While the onion is sauteeing, I quartered five Campari tomatoes and scraped out their seeds and slime. (5 Campari tomatoes = about 10-15 cherry tomatoes = 2 or 3 Roma tomatoes). I threw those right into the pot with the onions and sauteed them too for a bit, just until they started getting bright red and juicy. Then I added about a cup of chicken stock and 1/4 teaspoon of fresh dill, covered it, and let it simmer.
Here’s where I was sure I’d fucked it up. When I went back to check and see if it was ready to puree, all the chicken stock had evaporated, and some of the tomatoes were starting to caramelize onto the bottom of the pot. “OH SHIT MY TOMATOES ARE BURNING,” I said, and poured in more chicken stock and scraped and prayed and then tasted… and holy crap, it was awesome.
I let it heat back up to steaming again, then took the stick blender to it and added a little salt. Oh man. With a grilled cheddar/havarti on potato bread to dip in it? Best tomato soup evar. \o/

MY SS*BB STORY, LET ME SHOW YOU IT.
For those of you who may not be familiar with Shousetsu Bang*Bang, this means there is manporn. If this is not your cup of sausage, you may want to skip it.
How disturbing!
