Laptop still FUBAR, but have a lead on a good repair place from the every lovely, ever wonderful [livejournal.com profile] lazlet, so there is hope.

In a similar vein, work continues apace. I seem to have signed up for a ridiculous amount of it this year (volunteering to teach afterschool classes in Latin, representing my department on school committees, writing big chunks of our new schemes of work, and going for new qualifications all in one go), but I haven't dropped any of the balls I'm juggling yet, so I am encouraged.

As well, have moved in with BF. All very exciting. Still trying to figure out how to jam my stuff into the rather small nooks and crannies of his place. But it is, so far, going well. We are going to a Halloween party tonight -- as Mario and Luigi. It is excellent. We have overalls and caps and we have been dipping mushrooms into red and greeb food dye to make little Super Mushrooms and 1-Up Mushrooms.

In other news -- I have spent ages trying to figure out how to buy Danny Michel's new(ish) album from the UK and I can't! Nobody will sell it over here, not even on the internets! I want Coming Home, blast it all.

Am going to go make pumpkin soup to console myself for my lack of Danny Michel.

Woot! I'm glad things are going so well, school, and boyfriend, and I want to see pictures of the party!

Thank you! I will post pictures from the party as soon as I have a spare minute.

The costumes really did turn out nicely and everyone was quite impressed with our attention to detail. We walked around with an iPod and portable speakers tucked into a back pocket playing the original Mario theme music, which had quite a few people cracking up.

Anyway, yis. Will post pictures as soon as. :)
