My son is an early adopter

Two years ago he wanted to be Danny Phantom for Halloween but the show was so new that no costumes existed. Last year we didn't really have halloween because everyone still had blackouts because of hurricane wilma, so he wore an old Power Rangers costume and we went to the kids museum.

This year he wants to be that flying bison from Avatar. Where in the universe can I get a costume for *that*?

And no, he won't go as Zuko because Zuko is "evil".
Maybe I can get him a bald cap and send him out as Ang? 'Cause I can't find an "official" costume of that either.

Alas, because he'd make a great little Will Turner this year....

I didn't do a post today last year - I don't remember why not - but in 2002 and 2003 and 2004, I posted links to real-time posts and news and frights and tears on September 11.

But this year, YouTube exists, so ( behind the cut we have Jon Stewart's DS opener on the first day that the show returned to the air )

I do not despair. I come close, but I cannot get to that point. I still have to hold this optimism in my heart and my soul and believe that, as Jon said that night, chaos cannot sustain itself.
