Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Silence means security silence means approval

We have lots of candy this year, one type I find vaguely addictive yet cloyingly sweet (Smarties) and another I don't like at all (Sweet Tarts). This should lead to no trick-or-treaters. If we had a single bag of mini-Snickers the house would be mobbed.

Oh puleeze. Sweet-Tarts and Smarties are raw sugar with coloring. They'll go quickly.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I bought a load of candy, because my new apartment complex has such a community feeling to it, I thought there'd be mobs of trick-or-treaters. So far, two sets of kids. I think I'll be taking a lot of chocolate to work tomorrow just to get it out of my house.

I just had my first two trick-or-treaters. I'm gonna say ten year old boys. Dressed as monsters. I forgot to make them say trick-or-treat. Am giving out huge handfuls of candy, because I think I bought way, way too much.

Watching a ridiculously lame movie on the sci-fi channel. Long-haired wig wearing, think it's supposed to be a man dressed as a woman serial killer of virgins. I think it stars Brittany Murphy (hard to tell because of black wig/dye job).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I figure if I don't just sit here like a cow and eat all the candy, I'll bring it to class tomorrow.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

we don't have nearly enough candy for the neighborhood.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I don't have nearly enough candy for me.

I've already eaten a bitty Butterfinger, Babe Ruth, Three Musketeers, and Crunch bar. There are also Snickers bitty bars, but I've refrained. Such restraint.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

We don't have any candy this year. I'd frankly forgotten that we'd be home for the holiday -- thought we'd still be on the road. Saturday was the little "fall festival" event down the road, so theoretically we won't actually get any trick-or-treaters out here in the middle of the desert, but you never know. I think we got a few last year. I guess they'll just get junior mints if they show up. I think that's all that's in the house. I could just spoon a scoop of ice cream into their bags. They'd appreciate that, right?

I am eating kit-kats and almond joys by the handful. Just what the doctor ordered!
