a show i love

can i just say how much i'm enjoying the fifth season of bones? this series has been fantastic from the start, but the personal development of the main characters booth and brennan in the last few episodes really twangs the romantic fool in me. ah, concealed love and the tightening of the chest it creates upon viewing.

also, as an aside, in the latest episode, "the dwarf in the dirt", the waistcoat that booth was wearing later in the show was amazing; the fabric of a deep purple with a shimmer of blue that was used in the backing was really dapper. it's nice to see such details in menswear, as i find the absence of real personality in suits another reason to be glad i am not of the male persuasion.

candy, candy, candy, candy!

i love you halloween. it's not just because you're the best holiday ever created, and it's not for all of the sugary goodness that you celebrate. it's because you're a wonderful way to recapture the essence of make believe, a night when i can be anything and it's okay. i love you for the quirky movies made in your honor, i love you for the freedom you allow one to howl at the moon. so many scents and edible pleasures surround your passing, and for this i am grateful. i just needed you to know, in case you don't hear it enough.
