… belated.
so jer and i got all excited about staying home and handing out halloween candy to all the trick-or-treaters this year, but such a reality would not come to pass.
it rained like a mofo friday night. and it was freeezing cold to boot. we received a grand total of zero trick or treaters.
so now we have all this halloween candy left! it’s pretty good stuff too — we’d gone to costco and picked up two huge bags of candy (reeses peanut butter cups, snickers bars, kit kats, milky way dark, and all sorts of good stuff), but now the only people eating it are me and jer. it’s really not good to have this stuff laying around because eventually you’re just going to grab some and eat it, to the detriment of your health and of your waistline. i should know. i went through one quarter senior year where i would go through a huge sack of snickers minis something like every couple weeks or so. oh! life was good then! but it’s not a good eating habit to have at all.
anyway, i digress. our halloween was slow, but pretty fun. we watched some dvds (dvd 1 of the season 3 simpsons set and “This is Spinal Tap”), made some snacks, and got some gaming in. season 3 simpsons is really when matt groening and the gang start to pick things up and find their stride: lisa’s birthday, bart the murderer, when flanders failed, mr. lisa goes to washington, homer at bat, brother can you spare a dime, flaming moe’s… oh! there are so many and they are all so good!! i can’t wait till season 4 comes out!
and on that note, here’s the rest of that “can’t wait” list.
– matrix revolutions
– kill bill vol. 2
– lotr return of the king
– lotr two towers special edition
I would say “I can’t wait for fall to actually be here” but i think it got here friday. =P to be fair, the cold wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t 80-90 degrees for weeks before. it’s just the 30 degree contrast that makes it a bit of a shock.
but the rain!! oh, the rain is a welcome thing!! i love the sound of it, i love the feel of it, and i love the crisp feeling the air has as the sky clears away. and it was certainly good for the fires! it looks like its progress is finally being slowed.
so yes… i think i can say we had a pretty good halloween this year, trick or treaters or no. :)
its the trick-or-treaters’ loss really. so long as someone wasn’t giving out full size bars, it sounds like you would have had the best candy on the block. though it must suck being left to eat it all. no one came to my house either and i’m already tired of “fun size” stuff.
wtf, we turned off all the lights and crap at our house, but someone still rang our doorbell. we gave them a couple of snickers so they wouldn’t trash our house later.
hey there buddy, i’m trying to get movable type up and running on my site but i can’t get the images to show on the login screen. i’ve done everything per the instructions. did you have this problem? any ideas?
