for me, there's something so very cathartic about dressing up in costume and being something else for a day.
however, this year, i haven't felt very festive.
it's just been a little off.
on saturday, while downing beers at the north end, i was asked, "so what're you supposed to be?" as he eyeballed my jeans and sweater combo with a pair of sneakers and some dark-rimmed specs.
my response: "your one-night stand, if you're lucky."
yes, joe was there.
yes, he thought it was funny.
no, i wasn't actually that guy's one-night stand.
today, at work, we had a "haunted pot luck"... yes, i agree that is the, like, stupidest name for our get-together ever. there was nothing haunting about it... other than the bean dip, perhaps.
anyhow, we got goodie bags from our printing company, and in mine, i found the most disturbing candy item i have ever been treated to on halloween.
they're called "gummy fangs", and while i'm certain that they are supposed to be a gelatin mock-up of vampire fangs... they more strongly resemble the vagina dentata.
if you're not familiar with that one, i suggest you google it.
it's sure to be disturbing.
tonight, i'm going to go to the halsted halloween parade. i might wear a costume, though i have no idea what i would dress as.
maybe i'll just hit dollar drinks at hydrate early and be a "drunk mess".
then again, i'm that every time i'm at hydrate.
