I've never liked Halloween. Read somewhere today that the population of this country spend more on this festival than any other in the year, apart from Christmas - which seems vastly over-the-top for something which is essentially a festival of dressing-up. I have never been trick or treating either - I sense now in my mid-twenties would be an unconventional time to start - and have rather tended to spend the 31st of October ignoring the doorbell ringing all night while I try to watch telly.
I don't think I'm particularly fond of any festival in the year particularly, apart from the beer and music kind. Christmas and New Years always seem a bit underwhelming and disappointing, Easter doesn't really mean anything to me, not bothered either way by Bonfire Night, and I've just mentioned Halloween. Some people seem to really get into this stuff, and I wonder why I don't?
Spent the day preparing posters for upcoming gigs with my band, went for a walk, drank loads of tea, and listened to Sandinista! by The Clash, which seems to be my favourite record at the moment.
