The Daily Something

I wrote this blog last year on November First... I'm not bitter about being single or not wearing sexy costumes... Its just a commentary meant to be taken lightly.  Alrighty so this isn't really a rant... its just kind of a theory that couples have decided to take every holiday and make it their own and then single people are here like "Okay, we get it. You're happy. Can you leave us alone now? KThanks." And now they've ruined halloween. Maybe this is just me being old but still not grown up enough to be in a real relationship... but seriously go to a bar on Halloween. There are like 10 Harley Quinns, 6 sexy lobsters, 3 Maleficents, one sexy minotaur and then the rest are all couples. If you find a character you're attracted to like Han Solo, you'll look around and find a Princess Leia right behind him! And they're always RIGHT by them, you know why?  So they don't run off with a sexy lobster! Its a way to trick a guy into thinking that y...

Its Halloween... and after watching The Walking Dead Last week I thought "hey... maybe I should come up with a Zombie Apocalypse Team... just in case." These are mostly just people I kind of want to meet... so yeah. 1) Alexander Hamilton- Obviously, the first person I would want on my Zombie Apocalypse team would be Alexander Hamilton... because he's Alexander Hamilton. He gets shit done! If you listen to any of the songs in Hamilton, you realize he's a total badass. He's smart enough to get his way out of pretty much any situation... but also knows how to fight. I feel like he could survive the Zombie Apocalypse on his own. 2) The Goddess Athena- I'm pretty sure there's no rule against choosing a god or goddess on your zombie apocalypse team... so OBVIOUSLY you go with the goddess of war. That just makes sense. I'm sure a lot of the powers of the zombie apocalypse should be about muscle... I'm going with brains and strategy though... cause I t...

So not too long before Donald Trump was into politics, he hosted my favorite reality tv show, The Apprentice. And I decided it would be funny to dress as him for halloween... and it is a horrible mistake I would not make or allow any kids to make... because it was the weirdest trick or treating experience I've ever had. Keep in mind... this was wayyy before anyone thought that Trump would ever be a politician... but it was ironically enough Politics that made this costume so weird. It was in 2004, which was right before the election between George W. Bush and John Kerry... both, which I didn't realize, were popular costumes that year... and everyone asked me "Which candidate are you" and the people with the Kerry signs kept saying "Well as long as you aren't going as George Bush!" And that made me uncomfortable. I was in 7th grade... I didn't know about real politics! I didn't even live through that many presidents... so there really is no sens...

This is going to be a fun one! Here are my favorites for Halloween... These are the movies I've watched since I was a kid, family friendly movies that you can watch on the 13 Nights of Halloween and places like that... so yeah I'm going to just start off with those. This changes all the time... but there is one that I would say is consistently one of my favorite movies anytime I see it during the year. There are TONS of halloween movies that I love... but these are my can't miss ones. 5) Beetlejuice- Haven't seen this yet this year... but I love this movie! There was a restaurant I went to that has since closed down (and coincidentally, is now my favorite restaurant) and there was a woman that worked there that reminded me of the woman at the desk... and that whole restaurant just ran like Limbo from Beetlejuice. It was kind of funny. I love the campyness of it all and I wish they still made campy movies like this. Really great movie! 4) Nightmare Before Christmas T...

So I think pretty much all the shows are done with their Halloween Episodes... and I watched some of them... so I'll talk about those a little. First off I'm going to talk about the scariest mini series on TV... they've been airing it pretty much over the month. Anderson Cooper was a guest star... Its called The Presidential Debates. Just kidding! Kind of... lol. The Middle  I know I watched this one... I totally don't remember what happened. I don't think it was that halloween-y... I remember the religious haunted house and the kids said that they'd rather live with their dad if Frankie and Mike got divorced... but I don't remember much else that happened. I really liked last years episode...and this one just wasn't as good. Fresh Off The Boat- This was a good episode too... again I liked last years episode better I think... but I liked how they showed Luis is so into Halloween and Jessica is not. I liked the episode and the halloween party. It w...

Alright... there's some huge graphically violent thing that happens on the Walking Dead's Season 7 premiere that disgusted all of my Facebook friends and made them cry... so naturally I had to watch it with very little context of what's happening. I'm going to give a beat by beat summary during commercial breaks... but keep in mind, I don't know anything about the characters names or the show, so it is pretty unreliable, ill informed and meant for comedy. So it starts out with Denny from Greys Anatomy talking to Rick and the Gang. Rick has blood on his face, and it appears that John Winchester just killed one of Ricks buddies. He keeps talking about a right hand man and someone named Simon... and he says "do you have a right hand man or was it." And then you see Denny's club with blood on it and Rick's bloody forehead. Then Denny brings Rick into a trailer. Opening credits/ commercial. Rick is in Denny's death trailer and he's mocking...

I found this tag  here    1. Favourite horror or Halloween-themed song? Thats really tough... There are too many great halloween songs. The Monster Mash, The Time Warp,  and Werewolves of London are probably my favorites. I think if I had to pick one The Time Warp is the best song of those... but I love Monster Mash... and I hear the song Werewolves of London ALL THE TIME! Ohhh and of corse The Werewolf Barmitzvah! Ohhh and The X Files Music... and just spooky halloween sounds. 2. Name something you wouldn’t want to run into in a dark forest or in an abandoned building. A clown. I'm not afraid of clowns... but really thats the one thing I wouldn't really want popping out at me and scaring me. I don't think I can outrun a zombie, werewolf or vampire... but I think I would be okay being turned into one of those monsters. I've accepted it. And I think I'd be good at it. I think it'd be kind of fun!  3. Have you ever played with a Ouija Board? Not a r...

I was actually really looking forward to the new Rocky Horror remake on Fox. A few years ago I was very against it... but honestly remakes don't make me that mad. That's something that maybe I'll talk about one day... but yeah. I thought this looked pretty okay and the fact that it was on TV instead of an actual feature length movie... kind of set my expectations there. Its not going to be anywhere as good as the original, or any movie really... but it might be fun to see a different take on the movie. To be completely honest... I don't love The Rocky Horror Picture Show... its never really been my thing. I like it for the 70s movie aspect of it, I like the edginess, and I like the music, makeup and costumes. And that's kind of enough for me... and I think this movie was missing some of those parts. The edginess wasn't really there for me. I guess it was raunchy for a show on network television... but it couldn't really go where the first movie went......

This twist is sort of what I was expecting, but I'm saying that in a good way. There have been so many crazy fan theories about what they think is happening... and its all been pretty bad. I'm happy they chose this route because it did totally turn the tables and turn it into something entirely different... but they did expand on the story in a different way that did really change things. So I was hoping they would do something with the real Matt and Shelby... but also show the actors. I was hoping the actors would be the real actors of the story... but they did a totally more interesting take with having the woman playing The Butcher as a Crazy Woman, Sarah Paulson's character is British and married to Evan Peters, Shelby had a fling with the actor who played Matt... and Lee is angry at Angela Basset's characters portrayal of her. Its all very interesting the way that they did everything. Plus... there was a very calm feeling in the first part of the series. Matt, ...

This is something I've heard a lot about on the radio and it just sounded like a lot of fun to me! Its a little trail where they have over 5,000 jack o lanterns all lit up in one place and its just a really cool thing. If you have kids and they aren't into the spookier events that go on, this is great. There are some spooky pumpkins and some spooky decorations, but there's no one there to jump out and scare you... its just a really fun, neat thing to look at. A lot of the pumpkins were just regular Jack o Lantern faces, which were really cute. They had a pumpkin garland thing too, which did appear to be hand carved out of tiny pumpkins or gourds, probably with string lights attached to it... which was cool. And they sort of had a bunch of different areas that had themes. There was one with TV characters like The Sopranos, Breaking Bad and I think there was a Scarface and Godfather pumpkin. There was also a pirate area and a dinosaur area. And they had pumpkins placed in...

This is a fun local Halloween event! I went last year and this year... and whenever the first year they started doing this was... and its improved a lot and it is probably the best haunted house I've been to... I like the ones in Six Flags a lot... but this one is pretty creepy in itself. Camp Evans Base is a weird place in general.  Here  is the history of it all. Its a huge place, so its super creepy to just have a haunted house that massive... but it is really good. And I think they've even expanded how big it is. The first year I think it ended early but there was a haunted hay ride with it... now they just have the walk through, which is really cool. They have a lot of really cool decorations and a lot of people in costumes. They sort of have everything in little sections. So you go in one section and its an asylum, one section dolls, one is a haunted Alice in Wonderland type of thing, a clown section... they separate everything pretty well too so that the transitions...

So I was really really really really excited to find The Tower of Terror on DVD at Target. I've told the story before when I first got it, I've been wanting it ever since I went on the ride which was in 2009... so its been a while. I had always remembered it as my favorite Disney Channel Movie and I couldn't believe they didn't play it any more and that I couldn't find it anywhere! That all being said... I'm still very much attached to this movie. I still love it, but that love is just nostalgia... if you read too much into this movie you won't like it... and that's kind of how I was watching it. It was really weird because its sort of like "Yes! I have a fondness for this movie" But at the same time... I know its a terrible movie and there are so many flaws with it... so this isn't really going to be a positive review of the actual movie... but I'll mention why I still love it anyway at the end...cause basically I'm going to rip ...

I thought this would be kind of fun to do for halloween. I haven't seen a lot of the popular horror movies... but I've seen a few, so I thought I'd post a little about horror movies and thrillers that I remember seeing and liking. So yeah! The House on Haunted Hill (remake)  Fun fact: This was the first R rated movie I ever saw all of. It's a pretty scary one too... if I remember right, only 2 people survive... there's a lot of other weird stuff that makes it R rated that sort of went over my head as a kid... so this isn't exactly the best first r rated movie to watch... but it is a little more exciting than it is scary. I remember it feeling more adventurous than anything. I think I saw one part a few years ago and it was weird... so idk about this one... might try re-watching it for a throwback thursday though! The Sixth Sense  Remember when M. Night Shamylan could do no wrong? Those were the days. My parents guessed the ending of this right away without...

1) Starbucks Caramel Apple Spice- This is even more delicious than the PSL... I said it! Its so yummy and its just a really good apple cider. It is made with Apple Juice and Cinnamon Dulce Syrup... and it just tastes really good. If you have it iced its a little more apple-y. Hot, its a little more Spicey. Its really good either way. I love it! 2) Halloween Movies- I've been watching a lot of Halloween Movies lately. I'm going to have some reviews on them soon! So far I've watched Hocus Pocus, The Visit, Krampus and Practical Magic! I'm planning on watching some more soon! 3) Coloring Books- I got a bunch of coloring books for my birthday... and yesterday I colored a lot... I just got distracted coloring a Where's Waldo Coloring Book... but yeah! Its fun! 4) How To Get Away With Murder- This show is soo good! I'm really loving this season... didn't love last year. This year its been one of my favorite returning shows... I love the twist this season and...

My first day as a 25 year old... here's what happened! I woke up super early... I did makeup that was a little weird, different than what I usually do... but still nice and yeah. It's Ravenclaw inspired and it will be on a blog coming soon. Then my mom and I went to Costco. She needed to return something and we looked around a little bit. It was fun. But then we needed coffee... so we went to Starbucks! Which happens to be inside of a Target... so we looked at Target! I got Crayola Markers and the book Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarity... Idk what its about but its for my book club. And we went to AC Moore to look at halloween decorations and stuff and then CVS because that's always fun. We were going to go to a Greek place that we liked... but its closed apparently, which is really sad... so we went to a different Greek Place and that was good too. Then we went to my mom's friends house and talked a little bit. Then I went home and colored. I got a few n...

Favorites  This American Horror Story Podcast- I really like American Horror Story... but I'm also a pretty big fan of this podcast for it. I've  been  really into it right now in particular... so this podcast has kind of helped me with my addiction. I like it a lot!  The Visit- I've been watching a lot of Halloween movies... this one was my favorite so far I think. I'll have a little scribbles about movies about it in a little bit... but I really really liked it! It was mostly a funny movie... but the characters were well developed and it was just a really scary end that I was really surprised by! Its really a good movie.  This is Us- I really like where this show is going. Its only on the third episode... but its just been really really good and I'm excited to continue watching it. There are lots of twists in all the story lines and every episode has sort of a twist... and there are lots of characters but they're really great character...

Soooo if you've ever been to the Jersey Shore... and you drink coffee... or beer, you probably know what Rook is. They're a nice local coffee shop, there are stores all over. They have good coffee, iced coffee.. Its a little strong for me. I'm quite a sweet tooth, but I still enjoy the New Orleans blend, The Pumpkin Blend and the Gingerbread and it is pretty delicious! So this was my first time competing in the event... I signed up as a runner... but everyone else I knew was walking, so I ended up walking also. Okay that isn't true. I really didn't train to run at all... and my sister is pregnant, so she thought it would be better to walk... and then we all sort of ended up walking instead of running... so we were towards the end of the list on the competing side... which is fun. Next year we won't be! Lol. Anyway yeah this is my first time competing, its actually a nice, easy trail... its really hard to walk it, I was quite tired afterwards. When we got to ...

Now for the 8th song from From Under The Cork Tree! Of all the songs I really like on this CD and that I've always liked... this might be my least favorite of all of them. There's nothing bad about it, but its just the worst of the best. Even listening to it now I'm like "Yeah okay... there's a lot too this song... but maybe its too much and its just a little boring." I'm sure people have lyrics from this song as tattoos... but I don't understand why this song would need to be on anyone's body for the rest of their life. Its not bad... its just like if the rest of the songs were Ben and Jerry's... this song would be the Up and Up brand of Ice Cream... not saying Up and Up is bad... its just not Ben and Jerry's. I like the line about the matches... I don't understand what they're saying and I feel like this blog is more authentic if I don't look it up... so I'm not going to. Thats my favorite line of the song though. ...
