Just over three days to go!
Happy (day after) Halloween.
Just to recap you: Commander Light went as Jim from The Office.
Last night amidst all the other trick or treaters, a little girl came up to my door dressed as Amy Winehouse. It took me a second to realize that she wasn’t in fact a coked up looking micro witch, but the British singer.
Her pale face (with this caked on white powdery stuff) lit up and her eyes got bigger and brighter and she gave me a big hug. “Thank you so much,” she said. “You’re the first person tonight to recognize what my costume is.”
And then she ran off into the night. And I sighed at the state of the future.
As I write this, I’m watching tonight’s SNL. Don’t ask me why. I have no good, valid reason. Thankfully, with the election on Tuesday I can go back (if I even do that) to what my usual routine has been the past few weeks: Scan Tumblr and Hulu for highlights. One of last weeks’ Don Draper skits was excellent, but the one featuring more of the Mad Men cast was not. A typical SNL skit, really.
Also, Ben Affleck’s impression of Keith Olbermann is astonishingly bad. For some reason, he plays him as extra poncy British.
But without Amy Poehler on the show anymore, I don’t know why anyone would continue to watch after Tuesday (there’s apparently another primetime special on Monday night). Except for the last month and a half, I don’t think I’ve really watched this show (either than the occasional Andy Samberg clip online) since four years ago. And I’m okay with not coming back for another four years.
