Scary!

Just a quick update. The Frankenstein costume went off pretty well.

It’s a shame that we only had three kids come to the door. I guess the qualities that make this such a wonderfully peaceful apartment mean it’s unlikely to get visited for Halloween. Next year we just won’t buy as much candy. And speaking of candy, I got a big laugh when I saw the bag of lollipops we got to add a non-chocolate option.

I can understand that they were proud to share their new flavors, but at a quick glance it looks like the bag reads “2 New Flavors of Major Allergens!” which is just horrible.

Halloween

A nice relaxing day overall. Slept in, read a bit, and watched “Hellboy” on Netflix. When Gill got home I carved our pumpkin (I suppose I can’t really call it a jack o’ lantern as we didn’t open it up to put a light inside) and we got ready for the Trick-or-Treaters. Of course, that’s when the skies opened up and it started pouring, again.

Still, we had a few brave kids appear. The most memorable one had to be the little girl (maybe 10 to 12) dressed up as Michael Myers (Michelle Myers?) from Halloween. Oh, and a really cute Batgirl and Batman team.

After the kids died down to a trickle, it was time to go to rehearsal.

It’s kind of weird, doing the same play twice in six months with a completely different group. I tried not to do the same cues, the same looks as last time, but it just sort of happened in a few scenes. It’s also really weird watching a completely different cast, with different staging, and mostly the same music. The whole experience is close enough that my memory keeps confusing on me on what should be happening next. I took photos though, so hopefully I’ll have those up really soon.
