halloween. i sat on the stoop with wh (and assorted friends) at his house, and we gave out candy as the sky slowly turned dark. one of the girls had dressed up as an age-inappropriate word search, and had to conceal the word VAGINA circled in orange every time a kid of elhi age came past. the reese's pieces went first, and the stragglers got horrible tootsie rolls and mini lollipops that tasted like codeine, and then we went inside and had cheese, and pot pie, and roasted brussel sprouts, and a quite-fantastic chocolate torte, and finished off a languishing bottle of clos du bois. it started raining, and the phillies lost game 2 of the world series, but it's ok because no matter what people say to me i still hate baseball. there may be riots this week, though, so stay indoors if you're in the city.
