I keep forgetting it's Halloween. Haven't left the house today and don't plan to. I did put on a striped shirt in a sort of vague gesture at homage towards Pugsley, maybe, but I don't have any candy (I did buy a bad of my usual Hershey's miniatures but I brought it to work. We didn't do the thing where people bring their kids to trick-or-treat in the office (last year we officially did it but I didn't see any kids, this year no mention of it) but my co-workers will be happy to have a bit of chocolate available from time to time) and I never even opened my boxes of decorations. Oh well.
Occasionally I'm callous and strange.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
We had maybe 10 trick-or-treaters, which is low for a year with weather like today (50 degrees, not rainy, not windy). So we have a shit-ton of candy left, which can go to Tim's office on Monday. Although, let's be real, I'm going to keep the Reese's pumpkins.

Punishingly Intricate

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
I was sitting here minding my own business and scrolling through my social media feed, and that picture of whatsisnose's widow hugging the Hillbilly Elegy guy went by. I had two immediate thoughts:
- "Gah! You made a bear! Undo it! Undo it!"
- "That is not the Erika I want to see in leather (pleather?) pants. Some traditions should stay inside their subcultures."

Always Anti-fascist!
For someone who aspires to...le vie boheme(minus tuberculosis), I know I can be a little too private about physical contact and, you know, the application of same in public--it might be me, right? But that was so embarrassing I had to watch a bunch of Archers to kill the urge to find out how to say "Get a room, she-beast," in German and post it where they might see it--woof. (if they did Too Much Candy, I'd yak.) Well, still got the pleather, and, yes, I actually like sharing my name with that soap-opera chick more than Merry Widow Kirk. Have been feeling a bit repellingly single this week, but I think ita's rule applies and I'd rather lick a water fountain in the county jail than touch either of those individuals--I might catch it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
We had 5 trick or treaters all night. Most of the candy will go to work with me on Monday I guess.
