Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

But I'm sad for all the kids who didn't have what I had: followed patiently by our parents in the dark as we raced from one neighbor to the next, showing off, feeling like we were illicit and scary in our tweety bird costumes.

When I was a kid our parents just turned us loose in costumes without adult supervision from the age of 7 or 8. That allowed a great combo of trick-or-treating fun with other kids and the thrill of getting scared without Mom or Dad right there to reassure us. I feel sad that modern parents are so protective their kids never really get that scary rush of adrenaline from Halloween.

Skipping to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Ginger's birthday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, Ginger!

I totally wasn't kidding. I think it'd make a great book or essay inl ike Readymade magazine. I think you have a real genius for events and a totally fab sensibility.

True fact.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I would totally buy Allyson's party-planning book.

Happy birthday, Ginger!

Dylan had no costume - we bought him a totally adorable spider-hat, but DH slept in and forgot to put it on him before daycare. So instead he wore a spare costume provided by the daycare center, which was also totally cute and very sweet of them. We did not go trick-or-treating. We'll go next year when he's old enough to (a) walk and (b) eat candy.
