three of my all-time favorite things: 1. dressing up for halloween. 2. j.d. salinger's glass family. 3. the undisputed fact that my life is, always has been, and always will be a sitcom. (or gothic novel, depending on the day.)

tom and i were franny & zooey for halloween, and it's pretty much guaranteed that i'm going to be in a good mood until 2009.

gaaaa. I LOVE HALLOWEEN! i'm a junkie. certifiable junkie. we dressed up on saturday and hit the town in full style for the munly & the lee lewis harlots concert, and i glittered all over denver until the very wee hours. tomorrow i may have to dress up for work, because when you work with very dedicated liberal boulderites, it is your civic duty to go as a microwave, carbohydrate, preservative, unrecyclable plastic, or dedicated republican. i might just dump the rest of my glitter reserves all over my body and claim that i'm sugar in the public school system... there are too many options, and i'm exhausted just thinking about it. tomorrow night i may go for a third costume, or rock the franny again. we did make some damn convincing glass siblings.(american spirits and all).

if anyone would like to share their small children with me tomorrow for trick or treating, i'm available by phone, fax or homeing pigeon... otherwise i'll be out making fun of drunk undergrads in high-heeled ugghhh boots.

in other news, a tall, dark & handsome stranger named dale has joined my pirate ship of adventure, and i'm happy to report that i have found the alex p. keaton to my elise keaton. (except that we're not related,and i'm not 25 years his senior.) we're from two entirely different shelves in the grocery store, which is my idea of a good time (and the USDA's new food pyramid would commend us on variety and good nutrition). at this very moment, he is home reading my ancient and beloved copy of bridge to terabithia... needless to say, i'm happy and smitten and other words that end with "he's reading my favorite book!"

october, don't end after tomorrow. you have been nothing but shpedoinkle, and i will grieve your parting.
