Tuesday, October 31
being a grown-up now the actual day of halloween is fairly meaningless, especially since i live in an apartment building not children can infiltrate for trick-or-treating purposes -- more candy for me! -- so once the obligatory weekend costume party is out of the way, i'm pretty much off the hook. this year i was 'a guy who just got out of the shower' in a bathrobe, flip flops and a towel around my waist. the only money i spent was 5 bucks on a shower brush thing to use as a prop to really underline the fact that i was bathing, and not just in a robe. it was suggested i could lose that prop in favor of another and magically become 'a fluffer', but i declined that genius idea, for this year anyway. jessica's carmen san diego outfit was extremely accurate and cool yet totally modest, showing she is both classier and less shameless than i was in my bare chested glory.

so now that satan's holiday is out of the way, what better activity for halloween morning than to revise your holiday wishlist?

actually i'm one of the people who cringe when santa commercials start coming on the first week of november, which is way too soon to be talking christmas. but goddammit, when your mother asks you to give her gift ideas, you damn well do it, and do it fast. actually i know there are way more books that need to be added, i just left my little notebook with my 'books to read' list at home today. early bird shoppers take note!
