If the atmosphere of last-minute christmas shopping is "desperation", the air of last-minute halloween shopping is "nonplussed". I went to a party store this morning, and it was packed with people just milling around, not talking or interacting, half-heartedly picking up items, briefly considering whether they are workable or usable, then putting them back down and moseying over to another location to start over with examining all the packages, waiting for inspiration or direction. It really was like shopping with zombies. And I was totally one of them. Luckily I walked out before the compulsion to "Buy SOMEthing, ANYthing" kicked in.

Man people were freaking out at Shaw's. I wanted to get a back up bag of double bubble. There was nothing left by starlight mints (are those even candy) and toostie rolls. I'm not giving those out because I don't want my house egged!

Everything is already 50% at Wrong Aid, so I stocked up on my wet-n-wild black nail polish for the next 12 months. i'll go back for more crap at Wal*Mart tomorrow for curly wigs (I use as fancy buns, beehives and added poof) and of course fishnets.

I found a $5 cyborg mask at the grocery store. I'm going at Riker-Borg, an outtake from the TNG box set.
