Feeling: deflated
Listening to: Caedmon's Call - Piece of Glass
Reading/Watching: Desperate Housewives

Today, children, we are going to practice exercises in futility.

Example 1: Buying $30 worth of Halloween candy, decorating the apartment, carving a jack-o-lantern, putting a HUGE sign saying "Trick-or-Treaters Welcome" on the porch, and sitting at home for six hours while you wait for cute kids in cute costumes to come to your door for candy.

And in those six hours, your doorbell rings twice. Once, when a pair of kids dressed like hip hop stars hold out their pillow cases for the prescription to a diabetic coma...

...and once when you press the doorbell yourself, to make sure it's still working.

I saw more kids in costume wandering around the grocery store today than I saw in my neighborhood.

It is quite depressing.
