This year I definitely am not feelin' Halloween. I usually at least put up some decorations and what not, but I didn't even do that. I blame it on being sick through the middle of the month, that has totally thrown me off. My lethargy right now has reached epic proportions. I'm the living embodiment of "meh".

But I did at least put up a candy bucket (one of those plastic Jack-O-Lanters that could double as a pail for building sandcastles, no doubt) in my office at work and have been steadily feeding my fellow employees for the past thirty days. Incidentally, the people at my job must eat very little sugar because when I put out the candy they all fiend for it. People walk by and then back up and gingerly place their hand in the basket even though I said it was okay to have a piece just the day before. But when they finally take hold of that small morsel of chocolate (incidentally, "fun-size" is anything but) they stare at it as if it were their precious and then devour it greedily. Hours later they are back for more. Their appetite is insatiable.

Let me also take this opportunity to give out some free advice (which is, pretty much, what blogs are for--unsolicited advice). If you are a dude and you choose to dress up as Batman this Halloween, please consider enhancing your groinal region by at least wearing a cup or perhaps stuffing a zucchini wrapped in tinfoil down your pants. The Dark Knight has to live up to certain expectations. Batman should never have a camel-toe.

That last statement might seem obvious and a bit odd, but I assure you, one such individual I saw recently had this very phenomenon working for him. His inexpensive grey cotton Batsuit jumper thingy had a lateral seam down the center between the legs and it was clearly quite tight. The effect was... disturbing.
