OK… I will have you guys know that I turned off the TV before I left for work today (14 hours ago). I arrive home only to find comfy lofi playing. So either I’m being haunted by the chillest ghost ever, or my cats have learned to operate the TV. I’m kinda OK with it either way.

Due to shenanigans, Ham-Ham’s Piglet costume is not arriving until November 2nd… So we’ll just have to have two Eeyores! Happy Halloween!

Absolutely heart broken. Don’t get me wrong, I knew he wasn’t immortal. But his influence in our lives seemed like it would go on forever. And it will in our treasured memories. Rest in peace, Captain. Rest in peace, Professor.

Patrick Stewart, the beloved star of the X-Men and Star Trek franchises, among numerous other roles, has died at the age of 86 in his LA home. bit.ly/4yTZZRN

My nephew gave me the greatest gift a Gen Alpha can give… a NeeDoh!! As much as I make fun of the kids for their obsession with the brand, they are quite sturdy and can withstand my stress better than other “squishies”.

Chekov is probably the only Star Trek character who had the reboot actor precede the original actor in death by 10 years. Now both have been beamed up. Rest in Peace Walter and Anton.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Congrats to Julian for guessing the costume! This is Bobby and I testing it out. Ham-Ham’s costume is still on the way but he shall be Piglet!

Pumpkin painting at work and I decided to go uber cute.

Third and Final Hint: It’s fortuitous that my family and I chose this IP this year because it’s celebrating 100 years. And one of the characters (being portrayed by my future sister-in-law) was voiced by the late great Peter Cullen when I was a kid.

Second Hint: Currently in a quandary about how to fix my hair for my costume. Either in two low pigtails to accentuate her ears (I already have ears as part of the costume) or go with the “anime mom” hairstyle as the character’s main defining characteristic is being a mother (but does NOT die).

Double fisting it in the anime department with both Apothecary Diaries season 3 and the Magic Knight Rayearth reboot. AD is brilliant as always of course! MKR is doing a great job remembering the comedy aspect of the manga but their REAL test won’t be until season 2 so….

This year, my family is doing themed costumes! Bobby’s only really makes sense in context so I’ll use him as my hint and see how many people guess between now and Halloween!

Me: *walks into the animal shelter for my shift* Vet Tech: Where’s my pictures of you torturing your cats with Halloween costumes? Me [said pictures literally in my hand]: How did you- Her: I’ve known you for 4 years, honey. I know what to expect at this point.

I have Hobbit feet slippers… Haven’t worn them in a minute though.

Me: *sees a box on my doorstep*. Chewy? What did I order from- OH!! *quickly unpacks costume*. Here, Ham-Ham~ Ham-Ham: *senses danger*

I know today’s the last day of Hispanic Heritage Month but I wanted to share my display for work! I encouraged my Latino coworkers to put a pin on the map (this pic is from when I first put it up). Admittedly, being in Washington, there weren’t a lot. But at least I was able to find some history!

I’m going to be directing on this next year! Ben has assembled an insanely OP team for this one, wish me luck that I can keep up!

Happy Indigenous People’s Day!

“Money is the world’s curse.” “May the Lord smite me with it. And may I never recover.”

For the record, I’m fine now! Still sore when making a fist but better than not being able to move my hand without extreme pain which was the first 36 hours…

I hate hand injuries… There’s so much question about long term nerve damage and motor function. Most of the time it’s fine! But until it completely heals there’s always that little voice that goes “But what if it isn’t?”

Times I Feel Like a Villain: Me: *looking up Halloween costume ideas. Looking over at cats. Cackling to myself* Cats: *feeling an impending sense of doom*

Big shout out to @dawillstanator.bsky.social and @actorkatiep.bsky.social for having a masquerade wedding 8 years ago so when my sister said “Hey, do you want to come to a masquerade gala with me tonight?” I actually had something to pull out of the closet!!

***Trigger Warning for the Arachnophobic*** This year I feeling like “building” my decorations. So starting small. I usually have a decoration for my porch light but nature has provided a better decoration than I can provide… I have named her Pumpkin and she’s paying her rent with vibes!

When we went to the pumpkin patch, my sister and I beelined for the candle section of the farm store (because we are basic white women, don’t judge!) and found this scent called Midnight Pumpkin which is my NEW favorite scent of the season and is far less obnoxiously strong than its B&B counterpart.

Me [telling the story of the places I lived in my adult life]: …. And then I moved from Arizona to Washington- Niece: Why do you move so much?! Me: Well I moved here to help you guys out. Niece: With what? Me [standing at the school bus stop so my sister could go the work]: …Gee, I wonder…

Me: I have my hyper fixations but I’ve grown out of things like counting down the days until new content and such. My Social Media: It’s 3 days until season 3 of Apothecary Diaries!! Me: Could you stop enabling my addictions?!!

First pumpkin patch of the season. Time to break this guy out again!

Had to get new candles for fall (oh noooooo~) This is a new scent I’m trying out. It’s nice but I have to he careful not to burn it too long because it gets STRONG.

I've put out a poll on my Patreon asking what draws people to my videos the most. www.patreon.com/SilverQuill/... Hoping this feedback can give me some clarity of what to focus on moving forward.

My computer broke so I’ve been watching a lot more anime since I have spare time… It’s interesting to see a Japanese anime that takes place in Korea (I clocked it as soon as every other character was named “Kim” or “Park”). Anyway, Solo Leveling is indeed quite good.
