First a quick hug to some of my friends far away; Shoshe, headed off to Japan while her latest email to me moulders in my inbox, perennial victim of my correspondence failings; [livejournal.com profile] wavyarms, [livejournal.com profile] laobscuridad, and [livejournal.com profile] nadyezhda, all beginning studies and in various stages of freakout; [livejournal.com profile] sal_sal, recipient of strange snack food; [livejournal.com profile] sanj, brand new in the city and exhausted from moving; and many, many more. I love you and hope you are well. And I hope [livejournal.com profile] sal_sal got someone to try the salted prunes.

I'm trying to come up with a plan for a Halloween party. I want to do some sort of costume party, or some sort of event party. More than your usual "dress up, hang out, have food and drink". But I can't think of good ideas. I must ponder more. Any suggestions?

Thank you for your deep musing on half-and-not-half. I have so far failed to find any clowns in it.

Go halloween carolling - get a bunch of people dressed up in costume and go door to door singing halloween songs and giving out candy / treats.

Some friends and I actually did this in high school. Many people thought we were nuts, but those who actually opened their doors long enough for us to sing seemed to enjoy it.

Miss you, too. Especially the hanging-out-and-destressing.

Good luck with the Halloween party.

Can you starch satin?

Halloween party theme: Evil Circus.

If you do have a party, count me in (please?). Wanted to get dressed up on Halloween for years, but haven't found an outlet for it around here. I'm sure you'll come up with something vastly more creative than anything I could suggest, so I won't even try.

Sure thing! It might be a bit more sedate than you're used to, but I'll send you an invite...just as soon as I figure out the party.

That would be difficult: Halloween has been marked in years past only by watching Nosferatu (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0013442/) and Treehouse of Horror. Much luck!

Thanks for the hug. Back atcha.

And no matter what you end up doing for Halloween, I find a bunch of mulled cider, possibly with amaretto, never fails to provide the cheer.

Hug.

Oh, I haven't gotten anyone to try the salted prunes yet, but Emily on our floor says her mom eats them all the time. Yum.
