Happy Halloween
Oct. 31st, 2007 11:23 amI've gotten a bunch of compliments on my Halloween outfit. It's not a costume, just some black-and-orange-striped tights, an orange shirt with a black raven on it, and a black skirt. I think it's the tights and the witch-y shoes. I quite like the tights, actually. You can't beat synthetic material for keeping absolutely all the heat in your body. Something I need when there still is no heat on at work or at home.
Oh well: Happy Halloween to you all!

It's funny, but I accidentally gave blood yesterday.
( No, I swear, I didn't intend for this to happen at all! )
What's nice about spontaneous blood donation is that I got sandwiches and juice and diet pepsi at the station (in addition to my usual granola bar--blood donation being the only time I ever have one, really). I stopped by to snag my cupcake on the way out and the people at the registration table stopped me. I expected a hassle over the cupcake or something, but once they found out I had donated, I got a movie ticket to an AMC (woo! Saw IV will be free! Which is about as much as it should cost!), a nice black canvas bag (better than the one I got last year--it zips! More front pockets!), and a chance at a $25 gift card (alas, I did not win).
Still, drive-by blood donation. Weird.

I'm really starting to regret ordering from this one company at work. The salesguy shows up about every other month to inquire as to what our lab needs and doesn't seem to like hearing "Nothing" from me. I told him again today that we didn't need anything now, and he said, "What, did the lab run out of money?" I think that was supposed to be a joke. Ha. Ha. I did not tell him to fuck off and mind his own business (I should have), but it was a near thing.

I started to play Eternal Darkness last night. I've watched![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
feiran and theKathy play it for years, but I really wanted to watch someone play it and neither of them would or could (feiran has WoW, theKathy is back in Philly). I don't know if I'm going to be able to finish, seeing as I'm not entirely comfortable with GameCube controls that require me to do more active things than catch butterflies in a net or talk to annoying animals. We'll see. I have watched most of the game, so there shouldn't be too much that freaks me out or surprises me (though I discovered last night that there is plenty to frustrate me when it comes to not finding stuff).
