From the commonplace book of Katherine Rushton

Yesterday morning I had a single twenty-dollar bill in my wallet. Tonoght, I have but a single penny. Alas. When I was living at school, $100 in pocket money would last me for a year. Now, it seems, I go through that much in less than two months.

Not that I regret spending it: that $20 got me: a giant illustrated encyclopedia of the mythology of the American Nations, an ice-cream cone, a dinner out, like-new copies of Tales From Earthsea and The Other Wind, Teaching Very Young Children About Nature (for my Sunday School class), a bit of Star Wars junk, a ticket to Firefly: Serenity, and two raffle tickets at the church spaghetti dinner. And a penny left over for savings! (I didn't win the raffle, but I did get a door prize out of it!)

Yeah, I've finally been to see Serenity. I very much liked it even though they *spoilered* my *spoiler* favorite *spoilers*. If anyone wants to link me to their old Serenity spoiler posts, I'll be digging around them over the next few days.

ETA: Oh yeah, Halloween pictures! I'm the one in blue and white. Halloween was awesome, and for the rest of my life? Those will be my mental version of Superman and Wonder Woman and Batman and Aquaman and Black Canary. I think [livejournal.com profile] enemy_anime not only did a great job at making costumes, he did a great job at matching people to characters, too.
