halloween is coming

I find store decorations amusing. Like the cheap plastic window clings in the fancy (all steel and glass and cases sparsely filled with expensive pastries) bakery.


A shop that I pass by daily- it's a crackseed store- has a simple display. Most of it's the sort of cheap, store-bought stuff that you can find almost anywhere. There's no real room anything more elaborate.

There's also a handmade ghost. It's made out of black cloth, shaped almost exactly like a large teru teru bouzu. It has circles drawn with white out to form eyes and a mouth.

I have the feeling that it's completely innocent, but the idea that it resembled something struck today, in a single, horrifying moment.

I think the only more wonderful thing was that the milk was free.

It's a little silly to say this, but there's a kind of wonderfully deviant feeling in drinking alcoholic beverages out of half pint milk cartons.


Downside: it's hard to measure the Kahlua.

Upside: I don't have to wash a glass.
