What are you doing?

Handing out treats/tricks? Going Trick-or-Treating? Helping at a haunted house? Sitting alone in the dark programming?

We took the kid out trick or treating and stopped for dinner on the way home. Then I again consoled said kid over the recent loss of her fish, when she came home to an empty tank and got sad (she was rather attached to that fish, "He was such a good listener."). Now I'm killing time waiting for a friend to get online so we can discuss some work stuff before going to bed.

Programming in the dark, eating all the chocolate. Our street has no lights so we never get trick or treaters :(

Watching no one come to my well lit, pumpkin marked and candy laden apartment, and listening to my Screamin' Jay Hawkins channel on Pandora.

I spent last night (which was the 31st here) doing my tax return and completing some homework for an edX course (Delft's solar energy one). Australia doesn't really do halloween in any significant sense, though there's a few people I know going to parties tonight (Friday night) but they're really just excuses to get dressed up and drunk.

I was part of a haunted house. Kids went through the backyard and garage. With really good candy at the end (snickers bars, kit kat, etc)

My girlfriend's brother was a clown with a real chainsaw (chain removed). It is amusing how much clowns scare people.

I'm giving myself a much-deserved break and spending time with friends and family.

Having some cider and sitting in the dark programming. I went for a rather long walk this evening though. Friday/Saturday night are really when more of the festivities are.

I spent it answering the door and handing out candy to the kids who came by.
