Halloween is coming!! I’m getting in the mood by listening to “Don’t fear the Reaper”, and scary movie soundtracks. Not to mention LPN and the Necromantics. “Haunted Cathouse” must be one of the finest written songs ever.
You know, the best side effect of not having a mirror in the house is the fact that I dance more. I was just boogeying in my seat, and I realized that back in the day, I would dance around, and at some point, catch a glimpse of just how silly I looked. Without a mirror, no reminder, so I just quietly look silly, and love it.
I gave away my candy today. I had bought two big bags, of the good stuff, so that I would be loved and admired on the block. Since it turns out I am heading to CA for the holidays, I didn’t need it. Which meant it would end up in my tummy very soon. So I did the right thing, and gave it to my neighbor across the street (who, by the way, is sporting another black eye, but we don’t talk about such things). I’m missing that chocolate already.
I’m in a very strange, black mood. I’ve been thinking depressing thoughts, death and finances and the like, yet I am completely cheery. I’m relishing it. It’s the perfect halloweeney mood.
Speaking of perfectly halloweeney, how about that eclipse last night? Yeah, that’s all I have to say on the subject. How about that. Eclipses are one of those things that you wander outside, look up, say, “huh, how about that”, and wander back in. In Montana, this time of the year, you wander quickly, as it’s already below freezing. Still, they’re neat.
I fly out tomorrow. My costume is packed, and waiting by the door. Tonight my brain won’t solidify long enough to make a cohesive blog, so I’ll just wish y’all a merry halloween, may lots of sugar and spooks come your way.
Have a great time in CA with the family. Sad to hear about your black eyed neighbor, hope no kids are involved in the mix... My kids excited as heck for Halloween and happily hubby not working this year so we can all go out together (leaving the grandparents to give out candy). What will you do to celebrate? Scare candy seeking children? ;)

Hope you're having a wonderful Halloween weekend in Calif. (And if you're in S.F....well, one of the best Halloween cities in the world!) Here, I'll be sitting home fantasizing about next year when we'll be in Calif. and can get back into the full Halloween mood. Kinda puts a damper on things when you live somewhere where a bunch of people think it's one of SATAN'S holidays.
Gee, if only you hadn't seen a previous black eye, maybe you could have assumed it was part of an early Halloween look...
