Happy Halloween!

If anyone is looking for tonight, we'll be out front with the fire pit, drinking beer, eating candy and scaring the neighborhood kids.

In honor of the movies I watched last weekend, I present:

Places I will never visit, based strictly on movies I have seen

1. Texas. After watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre and all of it's sequels, prequels and remakes, I have a very negative view of Texas. When I think of Texas, the only thing that comes to mind is being disemboweled and skinned. But, on the bright side, at least my skin would live on in a lampshade or mask or maybe some upholstery.

2. Australia. This is a new entry to the list, because I had always had a good feeling about Australia after watching Muriel's Wedding and Madmax. But after watching Wolf Creek last weekend, OMG, I'm never going there. It takes a lot from me to get disturbed by a movie and that one did it. But maybe if I just stick to the coastlines and stay out of the middle, I'll be ok.

3. Hawaii. Such a beautiful place from the pictures, but after seeing Snakes on a Plane, I realize that Hawaii is a total hotbed of evil Asian mob guys just waiting to whack you for seeing things you shouldn't. Ha! I'm actually kidding about this one. I would still love to go and visit Hawaii, even with the evil Asain mob guys, bent on state-wide destruction...

It snowed last night. October 12 and we had a dusting of snow.

Snow or not, we're still not turning on the heat until December 1. Especially since the windows in the guest room and office are stuck open and WILL NOT CLOSE. I've hung on them and they won't close. Too many layers of damn paint (that were not done by us).

Who is that evil creature with the glowing eyes on my couch? I wish the previous owners had disclosed that this house came with it's own hellhound. You'd think it would be a selling point...

Or maybe Phoebe is just annoyed that I didn't finish painting the china cabinets. But after more than four days of painting, I am sick to freaking death of painting. And I'm sick of "French Ivory" on all the miles and miles of trim and mouldings throughout the house.
