Happy Halloween, my lovelies!!

While I didn't get dressed up or anything - pretty much none of my co-workers did, really - it was kind of fun to see the creativity that went into some of the costumes, including this kitteh's:

Coming home tonight, I saw the cutest little girl trick-or-treating with her dad and younger brother/sister, and their dog (she was dressed as a princess or a ballerina - I couldn't really tell, since she was a block away). The girl was carrying her pumpkin bucket in one hand, the sib's bucket in the other, walking down the street, swinging her arms and walking as far ahead as she could. Total "awwwwww, so cute!" moment, there.

And, on a bit of a Halloween tangent, Joe Trohman of Fall Out Boy (he of the JewFro) had a funny blog entry today. {Okay, so *I* thought it was funny. But, I'm a sick puppy that way...} I've stolen it from

icecreamhdaches, so credit goes there.

What are we left to do?: Halloween Reflections from Joe Trohman

creepfest 07 is coming up. yep, that's right, every child's excuse to dress up like said japanese anime character, every weirdos excuse to put poison in a snickers bar and hope they end up on the news, and that really just leaves the rest of us. were stuck in the middle. were far too sane and caring to poison children, and yet we are way to old to dress up. a skimpy nurse or devil costume is not a costume by the way, just blatantly sans clothing if you understand my lingo. what are we left to do? well, you could be like me, treat it as a normal day, catch the latest in television crime dramas, or possible romcoms. but you don't want to sit inside, you're used to the nature of the holiday, stuff that satan likes. i get it. im a professional fan of satan's favorite holiday, though i thrive under the cloak of mediocrity these days. i cant very well promote vandalism i suppose, as it could technically then be my fault, and would be my first time getting in trouble for eggs i didn't throw at _______'s house. if we are actually celebrating satan's favorite day of the year, why not be sloth-like and lazy? there is excellent programming on the discover channel. gluttony is pretty bad, and delivery is always fantastic. there are ways to celebrate this glorious of occasions. just not dressed up like a nutcase.

The sad thing, the sluttariffic costumes are being sold to younger and younger girls. Aside from that, I'll be happy to spend the day watching "Cop Drama" and cheesy chick flicks with Joe and some of my closest friends.
