Would you believe I didn’t get a SINGLE trick-or-treater? What is this world coming to? I even made little goodie bags with stickers and play-doh and the GOOD candy, not that cheap stuff. And to further demonstrate how UNfriendly my neighborhood is, we had a party on Saturday night and I put a sign on our door that said “Free Candy!” No one even knocked. Screw this “Southern hospitality” junk. I’ve lived in Houston and Memphis, and visited all sorts of other large cities from New York to Los Angeles, and every single one of those places was more hospitable that this hole. Hell, I think New York was the friendliest. Sheesh. Oh well, I’m getting a kick out of waving to strangers and greeting clerks at stores like they SHOULD be greeting me - just to watch their expressions. It ranges from surprised to just plain old dead inside.
But my Halloween isn’t over yet. This weekend is my sister’s Adult Only party up in Tennessee that is always a HUGE smash every year. Last year she had nearly 100 people there. Put a bunch of Halloween lovin weirdos in a large building, copious amounts of alcohol, and a 15 foot tall karaoke set up, and just imagine the possibilities!
Now I just have to finish those damn costumes while resisting the urge to spend all my free time playing Fable II. I don’t know why I love that glitchy game so damn much. I guess it makes it more interesting when your dog’s head randomly disappears…. Not really. It’s just a little disquieting.

Well that sucks. We actually ran out of candy! We had to go grab a bowl that was party candy just so we’d have enough for the last half hour of beggers.
Our little Halloween party went well. Most everyone came dressed to scare! The Wife got all super-creative-cute with the decorations and food. First Halloween party we’ve done, so now we know for next year!
Check out the pics!

My Halloween was a bust for entirely different reasons–I chose to go super-Lutheran and invite people to come over and watch the Luther movie (hellooooooo Joseph Fiennes!), but I got rejected 7 times. =(
And Nick is positively SALIVATING for Fable II.

Not a single trick-or-treater? Aw, that sucks!
Here’s hoping you have a much better time this weekend!

Fable II?!?!?! Awesome!!! I loved the original!!! Heck, I’m replaying it this week to pass the time. Too bad Fable II needs XBox 360. We just have plain ole vanilla XBox.
