Erik decided to make the gummi bear costume grown-up size and the three of us went to a Kid Halloween party at my friend Natalia's house. She's from Brazil and is in my German class with me. She has a son who is 9. I was a boring old witch.
Vigo was a little bit shy at first because he doesn't really speak German yet, but eventually he started playing with the other kids and didn't want to leave. I went home at about 10 so I could have a nap before going out dancing with some of my other other classmates. Erik and Vigo got home at about midnight.
Vigo's two weeks of school vacation end this weekend, so Monday morning is back to the old routine. Vigo has been doing a lot of work on stop-action animation with Legos. He's editing one of his videos on the couch next to me right now. Look for something here from him soon!
the gummibear costume is pretty neat!
ReplyDeleteon the topic of Halloween, I am amazed at the fact that it has almost completely disappeared in France, like a foreign implant that did not take
I was out last night and noticed a couple people that were made up, but that's it. And I've seen no commercial references whatsoever
I find that a slightly hopeful sign: globalization is not inevitable!
I've enjoyed Halloween in the past, but not all the commercial side of it, the forced joy of the group holiday...
it would be cool if Christmas disappeared in the same way. Not the actual Christmas, but the rest
