I kinda' wished that Halloween didn't fall on a Monday this year. I would've much preferred that it hit on a Friday or Saturday, for maximum enjoyment purposes. Still, seeing as Halloween's (in part) about horror and it falls on Mondays (which tend to horrible), I can appreciate the irony. And even though I'm pushing 40, I'll keep celebrating it. It's my favorite holiday. It's that last good time before the Holiday season and Ohio winters - both of which I friggin' hate - wreak their havock.
I did my costume party revelry last night (as a Rasta Vamp). It was fun and relaxing. And I got to see this kid show up dressed up in Buzz Lightyear costume . . . that was made up mostly of balloons. I still still can't believe he came in second for Best Costume. What also cracks me up is that some of the folks around me are gonna party tonight (lucky bastards). Apparently, they don't have to punch a Monday morning clock (like me) and thus have the luxury of partying on a Sunday night.
Well, off to other things. I hope some of you grown-ups did something to mark the occasion. Just because you aren't a kid anymore doesn't mean that you have to sit out the occasion.
Below is a link to some interesting Halloween factoids, in case you were curious about where this light-weight holiday came from.

Adios.
Rasta Vamp!? Is this a character from one of your stories lol? Cool! We took our daughter to Boo at the Zoo (Akron). It was cool. I like Halloween but mainly for the candy!
ReplyDeleteAs for costumes forget Halloween, I want to go to Comic-Con (in San Diego)! That would be fun and entertaining!
Close. My second book has a short story called "Munchies", which has a Haitian vampire with dreadlocks and a lotta weed. Nope, my costume was just something simple and quick: a rasta cap, fake locks, fangs, and a blood-splattered Bob Marley t-shirt.
ReplyDeleteNow, did you or your yours dress up this year?
