Lovely, lovely Halloween. MOst noted for feeling at ease, and having wonderful company -- it was persisently joyful in a complicated time, and I managed to say some stuff that I've been thinking about pretty relentlessly lately, and instead of making it all seem worse, I think Kerry is going to win.

So many of us, for whatever reason, say "there's this other world I'm comfortable in" and maybe that's fictions we prefer, or time periods that interest, or ways of behaving that aren't as common as we'd wish in our peer group, or aspirations long since abandoned.

There's this other world I'm comfortable in, and I've decided it's going to be right here.

Among other things, that's what spending time with friends is.

P.S. -- I'm so hooked on the Franz Ferdinand record (particularly In the Matinee) that I haven't even listened to the new Nick Cave yet. Today at work.
