11.1.98
Wantcha all to remember that the concept of halloween came from the Christians, Leaders of the hypocritical right light. This has been a paid political announcement.
Ahhh, the annual BYOP. Was fab. it really, uhh, kicked MondoDesiBootie? (this has really been a paid political announcement) Now, in my slightly hung over state, I am left facing no less than 12 dying pumpkins In all, RR and I entertained nearly 20 in high style. Now, I'm faced with the daunting task of clearing away all the detritus of an evening of alcoholic bliss (urp.)
I started the evening off with three martinis in the gorgeous 'Toonie glasses that RR gave me for B-day. They are just the most beautiful, well balanced things ever created. They're tall, with a kind of optic thing going on in the bowl of the glass, and a huge brassy ball just beneath that. If one holds the ball carefully, imbibing becomes a custom, almost precision thing.
I also discovered that if you attempt to describe Dante's 7-layer bean dip/hell concept, the amount of alcohol in the system multiplies.
There's a really great and grand group of folks that we have over to do this squash mutilation thing. They are adults (and two incredibly wonderfully precocious kids) who just haven't forgotten how to have fun. I mean really have fun. Carving jack 'o lanterns probably isn't something that the vast majority of youse guys have done lately. Why not, I ask? You really should, if for no other reason than to awaken the inner child that's still there. If you allow it to atrophy, you just die as a person, and become one of the "me, me, me" generation. It's really fun to waste food, plus it gives an excuse to make Beouf Burgundy (help me with the spelling, James...) and Pumpkin Mousse. (Wanna come over for leftovers? I got about three trays of stuffed lychees in the fridge.) We can exchange recipes later....
That's the message for today. I guess it has always been the message, just portrayed in different ways. Some people get it, and others you just want to tell "Put your hands over your head so maybe you'll catch it next time."
Don't forget to vote on Tuesday. If you don't voice your opinion, you can't bitch about it later. More in-depth political stuff later.......much later......like never.
The party's over now,
the dawn is drawing very neigh...
