Halloween
I couldn't care less about Halloween. Trick or treating is American nonsense. Also, I grow tired of my contemporaries' obsession with fancy dress or cosplay or whatever it's called now. If I didn't watch another horror film for the rest of my life, I'd be
quite happy. Seeing "It Follows" earlier on in the year certainly gave
me nightmares, but only as an example of dull and tedious film making.
I admit that I have negative associations with the 31st October that go back to childhood. My house was egged on consecutive Halloweens by my bullies at school who were apparently not content to restrict their abuse to school hours. The idea that people hate you so much that they feel compelled to vandalise your family's property is quite upsetting. Probably best not to dwell.
Anyway, I have limited my celebrations to watching a Halloween episode of Bob's Burgers, which has finally returned to UK TV via Comedy Central after an inexplicably long absence. They're currently two years behind the US, showing season 3, but that was around about the point the show began to hit its stride. Well worth a look.
I have Sunday off after working six consecutive days. This is almost like being a real working person. It's good to have a job that allows you to stay across the football scores, although the punters waiting to put on bets at around 4:45 probably didn't appreciate my anxious looks to the monitor, waiting in vain for a Manchester United winner.
