From x-entertainment, Oooh, it's in the air. Sort of. I've been trying to avoid Halloween mania, as I have much experience in burning out on it too early. (And longtime readers have often had the chance to see this "burning out" happen in realtime.) Still, it's really, really difficult to shield myself from all things spooky when the material world has already put a bullet in summer and moved onto stuff shaped like vampires. Oh, it's in the air, all right. And latching onto a holiday season is just what the imaginary doctor ordered.
We went to Party City yesterday, for an entirely different purpose that's proven so forgetful that I can only consider it as an ostensible one. In truth, I was really there to check out the burgeoning crop of Halloween crap. They've started building the spooky displays, but it's not quite there yet. Dracula's still battling for shelf space with all of the random summertime party goods. By next week, I expect nothing but Dracula, and I'll ask to speak to the manager if these expectations are not met.
I didn't plan on buying anything just yet, but two items (five if you want to get technical) hopped out at me, silently insinuating their awesomeness with such fervor that I had no choice but to be Party City's first customer of the 2008 Halloween season to charge 8 bucks worth of candy to a credit card.

Jake's costume came in - he has already worn it around the house several times. Thing is going to be covered in dog hair by the time Halloween gets here.
He can be Mighty Morphin Werewolf guy.
They had some costumes at Babies R Us, too. We've got a pumpkin costume from Tara but I'm feeling the tiniest of itches to get something else.
The X-Entertainment guy's house must be filled with mountains of crap.
