Coffee Table Declarations
Thursday, October 23, 2003
The lobby has been completely redecorated with a Halloween theme. Children are coming tomorrow to trick or treat. There are spider webs and candy corn lights and a giant inflatable Frankenstein, sitting across from me. Ah, I love Halloween. I once had a Halloween party in my old apartment and I taped a gruesome picture of a skeleton's head and shoulder area (what is that, a bust of a skeleton??) to the window on the back door. The skeleton had on some sort of dark cloak and hood and he was grinning wickedly. I left that decoration up for weeks and every night when I would get home from work and drag myself up the back porch steps, that thing would scare the crap out of me in the darkness.
Anyway, as the lobby was being decorated, I was sitting here brainstorming how the fish could get in on the festivities. I wish we could dress them in little costumes. Picture the fish swimming around in little witch hats and tiny ghost outfits. The cuteness is overwhelming!
Speaking of the fish, three new ones have arrived. There are two Clarkie Clowns whom I have named Clark and Kent, respectively, although I couldn't tell you who is who since they both look exactly the same, and one Blue Damsel who is named Brightie because she is neon blue. It's always a good day when new fish join us.
