Just a brief note to say that holidays still suck.I just trudged back home from work to find Hallowe'en is in full swing in my neighbourhood. So, I'm currently cowering in my bedroom with all the lights in the house switched off. I can't even play the Playstation because the blind in the front room is still broken so passers-by would see me through the window. I haven't had time to bake, nor to hit the candy store, and - surprise surprise - I'm reluctant to see a long string of crestfallen kiddies' faces when I tell them I have nothing to give.
Michael Jackson's "Thriller" is blaring from a party somewhere close by, and the Main Street traffic is being brought to a standstill as three-foot tall zombies, witches, and Batmen scurry back and forth over the road. But, like Thanksgiving before, and xmas to come, Hallowe'en just feels like a big party that everyone in Toronto got an invite to except me.
