Halloweenish Movies



I'm not generally a horror fan, but I do like a spooky movie now and than. Especially around this time of year, of course. I never know just what scary movie I'll be able to handle. I mean, I love Alien. However, I absolutely cannot watch any of the Saw movies. It's weird. I think I like movies that have suspense, but aren't based in reality. I think that's why I'm afraid to watch Saw. It could really happen. My sister and I watch poltergeist every year, and it scares me every time. I hate clowns because of that movie. One of my favorite spooky movies is:

How can you go wrong with Johnny Depp? You can't!
I love the classics, too. Alfred Hitchcock is a master of suspense, as we all know.

The Birds is spooky awesomeness. I actually saw this for the first time at school, of all places. I was in 10th grade, and had the coolest English teacher ever. We watched the Bad Seed in that class, as well. That movie was so freaky! Imagine a little girl as a serial killer. Chills!
And of course, you can't have Halloween without:

Happy Halloween, and happy movie watching!

Web Addictions



Yes, the Internet is an addiction nearly everyone in the world has. Of course, there are layers upon layers of addictions within the Internet itself. Like Facebook, Blogging, Twitter, and the like. There's gaming sites like pogo.com, and yahoo games. There's book sites like Goodreads and Shelfari. Every day there's something new to get addicted to. My newest is Pinterest.

Oh my goodness is this thing addicting. I have always loved collecting pictures from magazines, and now I can collect pictures from all over the web and keep them in an online scrapbook. Online scrapbooking, baby, it's the new wave. Wow! I already have over 1,000 pins, and it's only been a couple of weeks. Yes, I am addicted. But don't worry, I can quit any time. I can! Really!

Lost and Found



My library card went missing recently, and it was like there was a piece of myself missing as well. I hadn't realized just how much I missed it until someone turned it in and we were reunited once again. My goodness, but getting that little bit of plastic back into my wallet was such joy. It's funny how something that is most likely insignificant to most people can be so important to someone else. I love my library. I am there every week, sometimes more than once. I always have holds to pick up or something to return. It's wonderful!
