Halloween being today and all I decided to have my very own Scary list!!!!
Some people may not like it.
Well, I don't care.
Enjoy it.

Lets start off with the scary movies.

Exorcist was always a scary movie.
And Linda Blair/Regan was scary.

 

Flowers in the Attic.
This scared me, especially the grandmother played by Louise Fletcher.
I wouldn't want to be trapped up in an attic with a scary grandmother, and a mom that doesn't care.
Too bad Kristy Swanson didn't meet with Donald Sutherland yet and learn of her Buffy powers at that point.

 

Chucky
I hated this movie.
I couldn't watch it as a child. It was too scary.
And it holds true today!
I have yet to watch this movie.
Nor will I EVER!!!
So don't come over with it in hand.
I will knock it out of your hand and thrown it in the dumpster (I would say river, but I don't want to litter)

 

 

You know what's scarier than Chucky?
The Bride of Chucky.
REALLY!??
Now people were just trying WAY TOO HARD to make an extra dollar.
Might as well be holding up a sign on the street corner saying "Will make horrible HORRIBLE sequal to horror movie for money."

 

 

And what's scarier than Chucky?
Actual Porcelain dolls.
I'm not kidding.
I never owned one of these, nore will I EVER allow one of these in my home.
EVER!
Its the eyes!
Don't look directly in their eyes.

Speaking of scary dolls.

A Michael Jackson doll?
I might have pooped my pants.

Speaking of Michael Jackson.
Its not Michael Jackson and his infamous baby dangling.
Or the fact that he looks WAY TOO HAPPY about it.
Or the fact that he has to have the baby's face covered.
But its the fact he has kids!
Really?
That's just scary!

 

Next is not necessarily the person
(but he does scary me too), but it was something I noticed during the debates....
Yes, its MCCAINS SMILE!!!

 

Is that a mask somewhere for halloween?
Well, it should be.

Finally, last but not least,

There is a slim chance, she may, at some point, be president.
This sends shivers down my spine.
As a female, I am truely scared of this person.
(Before you go nuts on me, I am entitled to my own judgement. There are things you may not like about my opinion, and vice versa. So please be nice and tasteful).

So now that I may (or may not) have officially scared you, here is a picture you to help you forget the scary images above and help celebrate halloween, if you celebrate it anyway.

 

 

My SPT.

I'm busy.

I have ideas for next week.

I hope I have time to do it.

 

Ok, so I usually NEVER dress up for halloween.

Or if I do, they are pretty lame.

But I decided to at least attempt something.

I decided to wear one of my head masks.

Not sure which one though.

But I also want to find a fake moustache too.

I would have gotten one MUCH sooner but I didn't think of it until yesterday.

Its so that when I take off my mask, I will be wearing a moustache.

Ok.

So I thought it was funny.

If I find a moustache today or at some point before halloween, I'll post pictures.

For those of you who do not live in CT, this past Saturday, there was a pretty crazy wind/rain storm.

It was REALLY windy.

Not hurricane windy but still very windy.

Most of the leaves were kicked off the trees due to the wind and rain.

What else did it kick?

My grill cover.

If you are in the CT area and see a lonley black grill cover, please return it to me.

My grill is all cold and lonely.

I'm pretty sure its crying right now.

So the other day I was at Target.

When I was leaving the automatic doors were not working correctly and only one door (they were double doors) was propped open.

As I try to be nice (but sometimes doesn't always turn out well) I held the door open for a woman coming through with a shopping cart. I figured I'll hold the door open for her so that she isn't trying to squeeze through the one door that is open.

As she passed through the door and I was letting go, I was expecting a "Thank you." A simple gesture really.

Instead I got an "Excuse me" because I was standing in the direction she was trying to go.

What?!

And that's what I said too!

What the crap is that!?

I hold the door and all I get is an excuse me?

Why is being nice such a hard thing to grasp.

When we do a nice thing or a nice gesture gets done to us, why is it so nice that is abnormal?

Its sad to think that being nice is an exception rather than a normal occurance.

 

To lighten up the mood, here are some autumnal pictures I took.

 

And, here is a picture of my dog as a puppy.

 

She's the cutest.

And that's a fact.

 

My bat tote was a hit.

Not only did it sell that day (or within 2 days or something) but before it sold, it was listed as one of the Halloween Gift Guides!

YAY!

I have the evidence to prove it!

 

I was wondering why it got sooo many hits in one day, and its because of the Gift Guide.

YAY!

 

the excitement.

Well, I'm excited.

You can at least pretend.

 

Speaking of Excited, I like Le Tigre's version of "I'm so excited."

I sometimes really enjoy the cover of the song MUCH BETTER than the original.

Such as:

Mad World done by Gary Jules

Survive done by Cake
(The bass line in it is sick and I don't use the word sick in this sense so you know I mean business!)

Sea of Love done by Cat Power

 

So its not that I dislike the original, but its just that I really enjoy these versions a little more.

Don't judge me.

 

 

 

I really have nothing much to say.

I was going to say stuff about the last debate that happened a couple of days ago, but I don't want to now.

There has been enough things said about it that I don't really want to contribute anymore.

Oh I do have something to say....

I live in CT and did you hear a week ago that they lifted the ban on gay marriage and now it is recognized in CT?

I can only think... REALLY?

CT out of ALL PLACES?

I NEVER would have though CT would be 3rd in line.

But yay for civil rights, which people tend to forget.

Its civil rights, not just gay rights.

I wonder how long it will take before the wonderful people in CT will decide they want to try to ban it.

But anyway....

I am having an 8 is GREAT! sale in my shop.

Stuff for $8 because I want to clean out my inventory of stuff.

Things like this:

 

 

 

There are more items. There are 9 items not 8.

But shh.... no one needs to know.

 

Also, I made a tote bag just in time for Halloween.

Anyone need a trick or treat bag?

Or just a tote bag in general?

Its in my shop.

 

The printer at work has an error message "Hot Error." Which it then states to turn the machine off and then back on again.

Which I assume means its high priority, or a serious problem.

In my head, I saw it as super-sexy error.

Which, how funny would that be.

I should make my own printer just so that i can create my own error messages such as:

The "Super-Sexy Error" message. Turn me off and then back on and I'll be ready to go.

I have been fairly busy all around at work and at home.

I really should be working as I have a lot to do for this month, but I'm not.

I'm such a slacker.

But there are 3 things I wanted to share:

1. I was discussing with my cubicle neighbor that we both hate it when people write in emails: "Happy (insert day of the week)" For example"Happy Friday everyone!"

I know they are being nice, but it gets old and kind of fake.

Please stop.

Now.

2. When you are looking for jobs and it states "need excellent communication skills" I expect my managers to be very good at communicating to me.

Which is not the case.

I need a manual, cryptanalyst, or a secret decoder ring to figure out what people are saying in emails sometimes.

Better yet, the spelling errors that make it almost incomprehensible to understand.

Most emails come equipped with spell checking. Sometimes it pops up automatically. UTILIZE IT!

I'm beyond a good speller.

Actually, I'm not a good speller at all, but if you have spell check, use it!

3. On a happy note, I won a $50 debit card at work. On an unhappy note, I will get taxed on it in my next paycheck. On an even unhappier note, I'll probably get taxed on it before I receive the $50 debit card... I won... as a gift.

A GIFT?!

What the fuck.

I'm being a bit negative.

Let's cheer it up a bit.

 

My dog and cat cuddling up on the couch with my friend. aawww!

 

Watch my friend stuff her face with snacks and enjoy her other 2 vices, beer and cigarettes.

I think she might kill me if she knew about this.

 

Enjoy.
