Well, Charlie Brown, another Halloween has come and gone. I blew it. I let down Siouxsie and Samhain alike. No Devil's Night, no Day of the Dead either. I think it's ok if I pretend many other days are Halloween. Still I will plan all week, I will plan all month, I will plan all year for the next one...

yesterday i saw a man with eyebrows like the ones frida kahlo always painted herself with

today a piece was cut out of me and put in a jar
that's not a metaphor but it could be.

This still makes me so very happy, even through my pinched and grouchy sinus haze

The other day I thought I saw Siouxsie on a magazine cover. I went for a closer look and it was Martha Stewart.
May God have mercy on my soul.
