Better Than a Giant Toothy Rabbit

I'm not sure what was going on with me yesterday. Possibly a sugar imbalance. Perhaps this quote from "Defending Your Life" describes it best.

Daniel Miller: Where were you? I'm just curious.
Bob Diamond: I'd tell you, but you wouldn't understand.
Daniel Miller: Don't treat me like a moron. Try me.
Bob Diamond: I was trapped near the inner circle of fault.
Daniel Miller: I don't understand.
Bob Diamond: I told you...

The link on yesterday's post has been fixed. That song is very much in my head. It has almost pushed out that one horrible, yet horribly funny, engrish song (track number one here since it was left off of the soundtrack) from "Lost in Translation" that was heard at Club Orange.

See? Getting my groove back.
I love wet umbrellas. I love it even more that I typed out forty poems that I wrote so many years ago into book form. Yes, I rolled my eyes more than once. Now the editing can begin! Sorry, no samples yet. Although, I'm hoping that this weekend will bring a couple more postcards so that I can take pictures of them and post here. I got a beautiful watercolor last night.
That reminds me...Halloween is approaching! I'm almost considering dressing up as a giant rabbit. Anyone want to take a gander as to why? (Clue: BTVS)
Buffy Quote:
Buffy: I didn't say I'd never slay another vampire. It's not like I have all these fluffy bunny feelings for them, I'm just not gonna get way extracurricular with it.

Time to Play!

Halloween isn't that far away. Do you have your costume?

Halloween 2008?

Glenn's already got his costume for this year and wants me to dress up as one of the girls.

BEST! GIFT! IDEA! EVER!

I just heard this the other night. Instead of loading up on candy or making carmel apples, go to the pet department and buy a bunch of $0.15 fish and a large bottle of fish food. Go home, type up an instruction sheet, dole out the fish food into little baggies, put the fishies into little cups or baggies. Then, give them out to kids at Halloween. I've heard that some parents will spontaneously shoot flames out of their eyes in pure JOY!

Draven?

• even the cheeseburger and french fries comes with salsa and chips.
• realizing the necessity for re-potting.
• the long looks I give my bicycle.
• reliving how sad the movie 'The Crow' is.
• learning a secret about belly dancing.
• feeling my kitten tilt his head to the side so my hand purrfectly cups his little face, thus making a much easier cuddle position while I'm still half-asleep.
• noticing how my food cravings are affected by the tv shows I watch. Curse you Gilmore Girls!
• I wish someone would dress up in a frog costume, take a banjo and sit on a log singing 'Being Green' for Halloween.
• watching a raven defend his food.
  
  

What Next?

I bought this mini-drawer chest at Pier One Imports this weekend. Original price? $60. It's barely bigger than my head.


Also, we are getting ready for Halloween. I just ordered Glenn's costume. And yes, he'll be bleaching his hair.


No clue what my costume will be.

Witnessed on Halloween 2006

• A group of superheros
• Batman tackling Joker
• A mermaid fairy
• Lots of pumpkin babies
• Sugar!
• Crazy kitty

Halloween Buffy

The following are the best episodes of Buffy to watch on Halloween:
#1 is Hush. But please note that it was not without it's comedic moments. One, ">Two, ">Three, ">Four, ">Five
#2 Halloween. From this episode on everyone makes sure to wear a costume that they can slay in.

#3 Fear Itself. Here we discover how terrifying a bunny can be.

#4 Buffy vs Dracula. Pretty self explanatary. It's hilarious. Everything you could want from a weak minded Xander. :)
#5 Tabula Rasa. It's a mixed up Buffy episode of fun and skeletons. Below is where they fall asleep and they wake up with their memories erased.

Halloween Movie Pick #24

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

It's Here!

Good morning and happy Halloween!
It was so refreshing walking out of my door this morning, seeing all of the pretty colorful leaves on the trees on the trees and even on the ground. The sky was overcast and I just spent about thirty minutes at the store getting some last minute supplies. Chocolate milk and necco wafers make the perfect breakfast, don't you think?

Good Morning, Banshee

Now that it's a yearly ritual...

Because nothing says 'Happy Halloween' like a screaming banshee. :)

Halloween Movie Pick #23

Pee Wee's Big Adventure.
An adult that still lives like a kid, lives in a playhouse, and goes across country just to get his bicycle back. Are you kidding? How could this NOT make the Halloween Movie Pick list?! Below is the 'Tequila' dance for your entertainment purposes.

Uh...the whole movie.

Halloween Movie Pick #22

Hocus Pocus.
Bette Midler needs to do another singing movie. Like, now.

Halloween Movie Pick #21

Young Frankenstein.

The villages did not get enough credit.

Bruher! I thought you made the yummy noise! Abby someone.... Taffeta darling.
I still cannot believe that it was Gene Hackman!

Halloween Movie Pick #20

Edward Scissorhands.

I still feel like Jonny Depp is a minor in the Halloween realm. Maybe because he hasn't done enough live action Halloween movies yet. Allan Arkin is a wonderful actor. The deadpan humor alone. Of course, the beginning still makes me giggle. What is an Avon sales lady to do when she exhausts the goodwill of her neighbors? Ring the bell of the nearby castle that towers over the little suburb! Clearly if the house is in need of a makeover, then so is it's resident.

Halloween Movie Pick #19

Weird Science.
For all of your geekdom needs in this fall season. Days of innocense. The odd comedy. The creepy older brother. The grandparents in the closet. And why was it that you had to keep the house clean for the maid? But the best part of all? The phone modem. Thanks to John Hughes.

Halloween Movie Pick #18

War of the Worlds.
Not the new one. The good one. The really good one. A show so horrifying that people I know...I have yet to read the book. What the War of the Worlds is most remembered for is the panic it caused in New Jersey and New York during the short radio broadcast.

Pittsburgh—A man returned home in the midst of the broadcast and found his wife, a bottle of poison in her hand, screaming: "I’d rather die this way than like that." Brevard, N. C.—Five Brevard College students fainted and panic gripped the campus for a half hour with many students fighting for telephones to inform their parents to come and get them. Kansas City—One telephone informant said he had loaded all his children into his car, had filled it with gasoline, and was going somewhere. "Where is it safe?" he wanted to know. The Associated press Bureau received queries on the "meteors" from Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Beaumont, Tex., and St. Joseph, Mo.

Halloween Movie Pick #16

Carrie.
I really adore how the movie starts with one of the most horrifying times in a girl's life. Sure, it happens to all girls, but being bombarded with a bunch of tampons by your classmates isn't the norm. The scariest element of this movie though was Carrie's mother. I don't think that I really had much sympathy for her at all. This movie would be our sweet sixteen. > : )

Halloween Movie Pick #17

Twilight Zone: The Movie.
This movie was one of my first favorite Halloween movies. Every time I hear 'The Midnight Special' oooh..... Yes, it still freaks me out, and to this day I will never pick up a stranger walking along the side of the road because you never know if it could really be some freaky demon guy that is going to chomp your head off. Watch the video below if you want to see something really scary. Not to mention the horror of tapes getting eaten.

Halloween Movie Pick #15

Shaun of the Dead.
This movie was crazy wicked. Why? Because of how subtle the zombies take over the city. Shaun's going about his day, has an odd run in or two, but you know what? It doesn't affect him that much. He knows what is important.


This is still the best part of the movie. Yes, the street scene outside of the Winchester bar on the night before Z-Day.
