This is what I'm doing for Halloween 2010:
Last night, John and I went to our neighborhood pub hangout. We stopped at Smart 'N' Final and bought 2 jumbo bags of candy and then did our own version of adult trick-or-treat pub style. We just started doling out the candy to everyone in the bar, costume or no. ... The folks needed it. The Giants had just lost Game 3 of the World Series to the Rangers. We're still up 2-1 overall, but man, folks needed consoling. ... The candy helped.
Today, I wanted out of the house again, but boyfriend is house bound. I'm studying instead, at our San Francisco State University "bubble" library. Briefly: Our regular library (a real train-wreck, ever since I was a freshman back in the mid-1990s) is being rebuilt. So, in the interim now, we have a "bubble" on the edge of campus, that looks like an Army barracks. I'm campus-style today, but not quite. And it's Sunday, AND it's Halloween. While my friends on Facebook are posting photos and updates of what they're doing and what their kids are doing, I'm studying about nonprofit grant proposals and evaluations and all that good stuff. I take breaks by looking for a jobs on Craigslist ... and posting this on Blogger, which I use as occasionally as I use Twitter.
Happy Halloween 2010 all. My costume this year: A tired, broke San Francisco Giants fan whose in graduate school!
