Halloween?
I don't usually do a thing for Halloween but I kind of want to this year! What is the fun thing that is happening this weekend?
Comments
BOO! (i mean that in the sense of an utterance to show disapproval or contempt, not as an attempt to suddenly surprise someone)
(FYI: i'm a halloween hater.)
You know all those leaves on the stairs have been glued in place...
So you don't have to be bothered to answer the door... just leave the light on, the kids will figure it out
Isn't it fun to bring all the boxes of decorations out of the holiday decoration storage room?
My guess is, numbers of jerks who matter to her......

I love Halloween, best day of the year in my opinion. I hope there will be some sort of poker game at my house that night. Love to have people around, LOVE to give candy to the kids. SO MUCH! We have a pretty good Halloween neighborhood with kids from all walks of life Trick or Treating. I love being a home owner around Halloween, I have FIVE pumpkins this year (two ghost pumpkins, the white ones).
I am a believer in spooky Halloween. I favor scary costumes over the funny or the sexy ones. I am contemplating borrowing a giant witch head from a friend this year.
I mainly love the idea of kids being out and about in the dark, going to neighbors doors, all these things you are not usually supposed to do.
As for Martha: I have never watched the show and haven't bought her things but must admit that overall (if I ignore the made in China side) she seems like a positive influence. All those moms from the eighties had to quit smoking at some point and find something else to do with their hands. I think that keeping a cozy home, making your own napkin rings, and baking spiderweb cheesecakes helps calm the nerves, and I find that being a good host is something we all need to learn someday (regardless of gender).
(no joke)
I'm going to Classical Revolution's Decomposers Ball, at the Alberta Rose Theater. They're playing scary music by dead composers. Shostakovich and shit. Should be weird and fun. If you don't know what Classical Revolution is you should google it because it's cool.
see you there!
If I were going to dress up (you're supposed to dress up as a dead composer and be prepared with puns) I would be Clara BOOman
It has the potential to be scary.
(anyone else noticed how many Honey Boo Boo references there are these days?)
would be even funnier to go as Ken Starr NOW. Such a weird old reference.

STOP OR I'LL SHOOT!
Just now at Buffalo Exchange I tried out this new epiphany--the girl buying clothes goes "So what are you dressing up as?" and I go "I DON'T LIKE DRESSING UP!" and she goes "wow, you said that so confidently!" and I said "Yeah I just realized it" and she said "congratulations!" Then she bought all my scarves and mittens
the ghosts are sad but the story is deeply creepy...
God I was a weird teenager!
It is not Halloween.
I'm lodging a protest.
What about Wednesday?
I do not like this one bit.

DrJ, it's because Saturday nite is to party! Going to dress up on Wednesday of course.
Harumphft!
Think of the confusing message it sends to the younger generation.
Tonight is "Party Halloween", the night when the people with jobs get to spend all day getting ready (it takes a while and a lot of vaseline to put on that latex Catwoman costume) and then all night getting sloshed with another day to rest before going to work.
How do I know this you ask?
I used to have friends with JOBS.
Andy went on a really good rant earlier about why she doesn't like Halloween parties that was like
"Everyone thinks it's ok to 'let loose' because they're in a costume, so they're just even bigger assholes than usual."
this holiday is even more awkward than i thought
I don't think it's Halloween that's awkward, I think it's the people!
HALLOWEEN IS BEST!
Hurray for non-religious holidays that happen at night!
I visited two pumpkin patches this year and you know what?
I LIKED IT.
Looking at costumes just makes me tired and vaguely irritated. I know people for whom Halloween lets them Be Who They Truly Are (art/craft nerds) and I think that's awesome. For me I will stay home and watch The Shining.
Classical Revolution was so great though.
Not everyone has to be crazy original. It's nice to see some last-minute classics. The white sheet, that's pretty easy. You can just be your normal self underneath and it's the easiest thing to take off when you've had enough.
Also, a costume can be some face painting, but that is trickier because some people (like me) don't like having shit on their face.
I still have no idea what my costume will be this year, but I feel like I need something when I give away candy because kids (especially little ones) like to ask you what your costume is whether or not you are wearing your normal clothes. Having kids think what you are naturally wearing is a joke feels weird.
HAHAHAHAHA
good call
