All Souls'

So I went and bought pumpkins this morning so I could make MORE toasted pumpkin seeds, but I burnt the batch I made tonight. But I took the pumpkin and made puree that I can turn into some sort of yummy baked good on a future occasion. AND I finished shrink-wrapping the windows. AND I did dishes. I'd run out to the grocery store very early, before Jason woke up, and came home before he woke up, and was sitting in bed reading again when he did finally wake up... it was a very productive use of morning. I bought lots of junk food at the grocery store because of course candy was on sale so I had to buy several of anything that said "Reeses" on it, but then it also turned out that El Fudge was on sale, so, you know (although majellen is probably the only one of you who ACTUALLY knows how that is, or why it is pronounced "El Fudge" and not "E.L. Fudge," but you'll just have to take my word for it). AND there were GINGERSNAPS, and it occurred to me that whatever I make with this pumpkin might go well with gingersnaps. So, what could I do?

I've been meaning since Halloween to write some deep philosophical piece on the deterioration of Myth in our society, but whenever I actually sit down at the computer, I never feel like it anymore.
