Night Of A Thousand Faces is one of my most anticipated events, and it's pretty much the last big event of the year before it's too cold to do anything outside for the next six months, I'm not really sure how to describe it, and I'm really sad that it's over. Especially because we really outdid ourselves this year.

Megan had Minnie Mouse ears with a light-up bow.

Désirée did the regular pumpkin trail because she's too scary for the spooky trail. She got her face painted a bit like the Joker later on. I wonder what kind of horrible things she has nightmares about. Probably being in school with no pants on and she can't think of a bad pun when chasing people through a pumpkin patch. She really misses helping set everything up.

Ryan went on a field trip to see Othello partially because her teacher's husband played Michael Cassio. I find it amazing how interconnected everything is.
Someone, probably Harry, said he likes the pumpkin trail even more when it's still light out, and he likes walking the trail a week later when everything's starting to decay and fertilize the woods.

So I think that new enclosure is for large-ish carnivores, like foxes and coyotes, because Désirée said that we once tried to use the big raptor enclosure to hold carnivores and a coyote scaled the wall, fell back down and broke his leg, and had to be put down.

Désirée smelled something that could have been a dead animal and then she smelled smoke.

Désirée says she'd not only keep drawing someone who gave her a death glare, she'd draw the guy's death glare too.

To Désirée, I described Rick and Morty as the result of someone figuring out a way to see into my dreams and then making a cartoon out of it.

Kim was back but she didn't bring Chronos, she brought Mikhail and Roxanne. Roxanne is normally bright Crayola red but since she was in shed, she was a dull pink. Mikhail looks like Chronos except for the scar on his back, which he got from a chain link fence.
There was a tegu named Zeus but I don't think he has anything to do with Chronos and I definitely don't think Chronos tried to eat him. Besides, that's Cronus, not Chronos. I do believe that they were mixed together by the Romans and they both inspired the god Saturn.
I may or may not know Christine.

Tiffany brought her friend Mercedes, who had a wig that looked a bit like green dreadlocks and also a spoooooky skull-print scarf. I wonder if I met Tiffany before this Night of a Thousand Faces because she said she used to come in on Mondays and other days.
Here are some bands she recommended because she's really into surf rock, distortion, and female vocals: La Luz, Scully, Shannon and the Clams.
None of them are from the Boston area.
I asked if she knew who Sophie Atlas was and I wonder if they disbanded or if they're recording something. Emma would know but she ain't talking.

A woman had a mirror pendant and her friend stuck a star on the back.

Let me tell you about the Spooky Trail.
There were zombies, and people hiding in the dirt, and unnecessary surgery. Tyler's sister was a hippie. A crazed rabid hippie locked in a cage. Maybe it wasn't Tyler's sister. I have no idea. On Saturday, she became a gorilla with a Jason mask.
There was a sink that shot forth fake blood. The best part of the spooky trail. On Friday, there was a glove filled with water on the seat and Zofia wanted to pop it.
Jean was a zombie bridesmaid, which is pretty much the same thing as a zombie prom queen.
Emily was a zombie bride. The Ryan who probably didn't see Othello was a zombie in a top hat. I think it was a top hat. I think he was also wearing casual clothes on the first night. Darkness is to blame for that if I'm wrong. Darkness and memory.
I think we should find someone who looks like Tina Belcher. Not a zombie Tina Belcher, just have Tina Belcher marrying a zombie. Or maybe Tina Belcher could be in the grass doing the Tina moan and lamenting her zombie crush getting married to another woman.
The Ryan who saw Othello was was in a gillie suit, much like last year.

I fear that the attack in Sweden won't be the last of its kind. It's hard to do anything when even sites like Democratic Underground spout that right-wing nonsense about refugees and migrants, and people like Orban and Sarkozy get in power because they're up against the hard right and so leftists bite the bullet and vote for them and then they spend their time pandering to the far right and making statements about how democracy is not a basic right of all people on Earth.
burning question: could maybe Blogspot actually do something about the people brazenly inciting violence against refugees and migrants on their service? Or is it cool when someone who's buddies with high-level mucky-mucks praises murderers like Breivik and Lundin-Pettersson and advocates poisoning refugees with tainted food and says that the mere act of being on Swedish soil is reason enough to kill someone?
