Q: why can't witches have children?
A: because their husbands all have hollow-weenies.

tonight Big Sis and i are taking the munchins and princess messyface trick-or-treating. i may or may not go to a halloween party afterward; it's bound to be crowded and boisterous, and i'm not sure i'm up for that kind of social activity. we'll see what happens.

nothing noteworthy has happened in the past few days. i did some cleaning yesterday, and went grocery shopping for some veggie food. veggie corndogs are one of the best things ever invented. watched lots of silly horror movies (how contrived is the plot line for urban legend? i mean come on people!) and of course the two shows that i'm obsessed with: gilmore girls and smallville. what's the deal with lukes nephew? and where's rory's boyfriend? maybe i missed something while i was putting away the groceries.

but now onto my new obsession. can i just tell you all how entranced i am by smallville? i am absolutely smitten by a television show for the first time since 'my so-called life.' the writing is smart, the plots are inventive and thought-provoking, and it doesn't hurt that lex luther is one of the most attractive persons i've seen in ages. something about absolute baldness fascinates me. not to mention the fine line his character walks between genius and insanity. between intelligent dilletante and criminal mastermind. gives me shivers. i greatly prefer him to the tortured hero of clark kent. i'm sure that says something about me. even aside from the marvel that is lex luther (and if anyone knows what the actor's name is, please let me know), i'd watch the show. it's smart in an age of ridiculous un-reality shows like survivor. apparently, sometimes fiction is true-er than truth.

i suppose i should shower and try to modify my costume for extra warmth wherever possible. i may turn in my skirt for some jeans, and attach the cards to a sweater instead. far more comfortable as well--i didn't think about sitting down when i attached safety pins to the posterior of my skirt. at any rate, enjoy your halloween/all hallow's eve/samhain/etc.
