It’s nearly Halloween. Apparently you have to book if you want to come to the Newsroom this week.
Brian the GM there sent me an email the other week asking if I was going to “dress up”. You know I hate all that shit, but I did see a kind of headband thing with a spider on it the other day.
I’ll probably get away with that.
It’s funny how quickly things change. A few years ago (when my daughter was a bit younger), I had gotten back into Halloween. I went to one party as the Denim Monster more than Double-denim, denim taken too far) and another as a Washing Machine (the most terrifying of all white goods).
But then I got tired of it. Oh look, he’s dressed as a vampire. Amazing. Oh look, she’s dressed as a sexy witch. Amazing.
Christmas is still worse because, generally speaking, there is no requirement or expectation around Halloween that you should always join in.
Opting out is an option and that’s cool.
