1. For my birthday, Leslie made me a chocolate chip cookie. One huge chocolate chip cookie that fills an entire baking pan. It came out great; I've already had two portions, and after dinner tonight will have a third. It's like getting the best of both cookie and brownie. Last night, I also got a pint of Half and Half at a local drinking establishment - her treat. The top half was Guinness, and the bottom was Stella Artois. It was great, because even though Guinness is great, it is rich and dark, and to have it counterbalanced by a decent light beer like that ... I recommend it. Mmm, food.
2. Even though I'm not sure whether I'm doing anything for Halloween, I've been half-thinking of getting a costume together. Something that would be able to be worn during the day, possibly. I was thinking of heading to a great thrift clothing store which had quite the selection of jackets, coats, dress shirts, slacks, hats, canes, scarves, and so on. Maybe I could dress in all green, spray my hair red for the day, and walk around with a pipe? Or I could get a black leather jacket and pretend to be Neil Gaiman? Or put together a Dumb and Dumber-esque formal wear? Go for the1920's bartender look? Play someone from Carnivale? What I'm saying is that, if I'm going to go that route, I need some ideas. A bonus if I could then wear some of the clothes in other situations.
3. Along with the call for suggestions that way, I need suggestions for how to use my Mr. Bento Stainless Lunch Jar (AKA thermos), courtesy of Diana. What foods should I put in there for lunch? I'm pretty sure I could do soup, cooking it that morning or maybe making it the night before and then heating it up. I guess I could do rice and some kind of stir fry, or part of whatever I made last night. But otherwise... what are some easy ways to make some lunch without making it much more difficult than a sandwich and banana?

Just saying. . .
If you do the green outfit with the red hair (I think you're thinking leprechaun), I will hound you forever for a picture.
Love,

If you want to dye your hair red, I could henna you! BWA HA HA!
(Yeah, yeah, I know that would mean having red hair--and then part blond, part red hair--for a couple of months instead of just a day, but the idea amuses me. >_>)
Regarding the lunches, have you tried Googling bento lunches? I found a couple of promising sites just on the first page of results. Lunchinabox.net looks to have lots of general information about packing bento, as well as more specific ideas. Lunchbucketbento.blogspot.com (Pic heavy! Go to Sept. archives to get to the bento.) doesn't seem to have that much information, but has pictures (with descriptions) of lots of bento lunches, so you might find some inspiration there.
Also, I think there's a massive bento thread on the LHC archives and a smaller one on the new forums that I could link you to, if you're interested.
Leslie's right. Google it! Bento is everywhere on the internets. Next on your wish list should be a good knife.
Geez, you're getting old. :) Happy b-day, bro.
I'm going as Robin for Halloween. As in, Batman's sidekick. Mostly because of childhood memories of BAM! WHAP! KAPOW! :)
