Yeah. Just realized tomorrow’s Hallowe’en–not that I’d forgotten, but it keeps slipping my mind. I’m not exactly getting into the spirit of the season this year.
We’ve picked up candy for trick-or-treaters; I’m hoping we actually get a decent number coming by this year. Last year there were some, but not a lot. And John called when he was doing the groceries to ask if I wanted a pumpkin, and I said yes on impulse, so we’ll at least have a jack o’lantern. (I am not sure if I’m going to carve a face or try for one of the pictures that people do sometimes. Probably a face. That seems easier.)
Maybe I’ll make popcorn and make a movie night out of it. I’ve started watching Bedlam and The Fades; I like Bedlam better，but it’s early days. I can’t really do that with anyone, though–John’ll watch some stuff with me, but has pointed out lately that he is really not a big horror fan, and TV shows tend to have lower budgets[1] than movies. So I’d basically be watching them alone and maybe talking to people online, but needing to look at the screen tends to cut down on how good the shows are.
…man, looking at this, I sound kind of down. I feel kinda down. Trying to keep an eye on that. It gets lonely out here sometimes, and the not-working isn’t helping.

[1] Actually, he said lower budget and worse acting. I dispute this.
