benchilada | I feel better than James Brown

Feeling down? A bit dreary? Hair gone all long and flat and Republican?

I recommend getting a haircut and going anti-trick-or-treating first thing in the morning!

There's nothing quite like surprising stoic professorial types by thrusting an orange jack-o-lantern basket under their nose and going "Candy? Go on, you know you want some. No, go on, take more than one, it's fine!"

Their eyes light up.

And the people on the bus? I was like Candy Jesus to them.

This was half full of Dum-Dum's when I left home.
