Spent the whole day vegging on the couch and sleeping. Snook woke me up with a Dutch Baby pancake and a coffee. He is awesome.
The Halloween hate makes me sad. We just need some education on proper trick-or-treating etiquette! Put me on the news; I’ll fix it!
@Bells_G T-o-T is an organised activity. The town nominates one day. Kids only go to houses with lights on & decorations. It’s easy!
@Bells_G If people don’t want to participate, they just don’t. It’s just that no one here understands how it’s meant to work.
@Bells_G But we celebrate Chinese New Year here. And Bastille Day. And Guy Fawkes Day. Multiculturalism means getting all the fun stuff!
I just feel that some anti-Halloween sentiment is less about the holiday and more about anti-Americanism.
And avoiding a fun excuse for fancy dress and candy is cutting off your cultural nose to spite your face! 🙂
@Bells_G That’s a valid point. But Halloween is also the *craftiest* of holidays in the US, truly. For us it’s all about being creative!
@Lauren_lolly_ Fully agree that sucks. That’s why I need ten minutes on “Today Tonight” to sort out the ankle-biters. 🙂
Just sad that folks are resistant to a holiday that, for me, is all about celebrating craft, costumes, & community. Bah, humbug indeed. 🙁
RT @nellasantos: @web_goddess I got inspired by your Halloween parties so I held one tonight with coworkers. Huge success! http://plixi. …
@nellasantos That’s awesome! Well done, glad to have inspired you guys. 🙂
@Lauren_lolly_ Yes, it takes a lot longer than 9 years to undo an accent. Though I do same some words “strine”.
@infoholic You aren’t looking very hard. For a lot of people, Halloween is all about craft and making stuff. I make SO MUCH every year.
@Lauren_lolly_ My father’s fam are from Kentucky, so I can do an Appalachian if I need to. I do a better Sookie than Anna Paquin, frankly.
@kunaal84 Getting there. Not sure if I’ll be in tomorrow yet. Might take another day to rest. Just wiped out…
All the stuff I made for Halloween 2010, including my contest-winning homemade costume: https://web-goddess.org/archive/9424
@Lauren_lolly_ Only if you like corn fields.
@ghimmelmann I guess. It just seems more vitriolic when it involves US though. Candy and costumes are fun, regardless of who popularised it!
@imdominating That would be awesome. “Dr Chin, I’m gonna need some Percocet for my costume this year. I’m all about authenticity.”
@mpesce Nothing so far in Chippo at our end. Have you had any yet? We had a few in previous years, but we were having an obvious party then.
Realisation: Halloween = graffiti knitting, but I’m on the opposite side of this one. 🙂
@steven_noble You reckon? To me the anti-Halloween sentiment was louder than ever this year. Depressed me a bit. Glad the kids had fun tho!
RT @Fifikins: Our virginal Halloween: http://bit.ly/bIQUui // AWESOME POST. I love how you approached it for your street, great idea!
Feeling better, but my head is still sore and my jaw feels like it’s been punched. I think I’ll rest up for one more day. Stupid virus.
Snookums is doing Movember again, so this morning this http://twitpic.com/32rc99 became this http://twitpic.com/32rcci. So weird. 🙂
@morethanaride Kept the ‘tache? I’d love him to, actually, but he objects to the work involved in trimming. Can’t really blame him!
@imdominating I said, It makes your nose look bigger! He said, I understand a lot of dudes take advantage of that effect… elsewhere. HA!
Who loves me? Petey does. http://twitpic.com/32rtwk http://twitpic.com/32rtyz http://twitpic.com/32ru4f http://twitpic.com/32ru76
