Halloween, tv, work and a mem
Even though I'm trying not to pick up any new shows, I did give Life on Mars a try last night. It is based on a BBC show, so the concept is solid, and the cast (Lisa Bonet, Harvey Keitel, Michael Imperioli) is well put together. Other than that, I was not very impressed. It seems pretty clear that the lead guy is actually in a coma and has not really time traveled to 1973. I'm gonna give it a few weeks and see if it falls into it's groove.
I'm about to lose my "extra userpics" on LJ, and I can't decide which ones to keep. In fact, I'm not even sure how many I will get to keep, I got lot of free ones for being an upstanding contributor or whatever. How do I find that out? Anybody know? I'll look into it when I'm at work today. I have a feeling it's going to be a long, slow day.
Last October we had free shipping at work, so we were crazy busy. I missed half the month though, because I was busy getting married, having a honeymoon, and making a life with my beloved H. But our sales goals are the same as they would be if we had free shipping. Needless to say, no one is fussed about the very real fact that we will not make our sales goals this month.
My buddy Steve will be getting an LJ soon. Details to follow. He is trying to increase his online presence because he is writing a book. So we'll likely see him around soon.
1. What is your favorite work of horror fiction?
American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis, or Psycho by Robert Bloch,
2. Who is your favorite monster?
I don't know if I have a favorite (zombies are not really "monsters") but that thing from Cloverfield was goddamn terrifying.
3. What horror movie gives you the most chills?
Chills? Not sure, but the original Halloween still scares the crap out of me.
And I'll always be afraid of Norman's Mother.
4. Freddy versus Jason?
Definitely Jason
5. Ghosts or goblins?
Neither. What the hell is a goblin anyway, besides a band that does cool soundtracks.
6. What is your scariest encounter with the paranormal?
Some would say I lived in a haunted house in college.
7. Do you believe in ghosts?
Of course.
8. Favorite Halloween costume?
Witch or zombie, it's all good.
9. If you had an unlimited budget, what would your fantasy costume be for this Halloween?
The Queen of Hearts
10. When was the last time you went trick or treating?
It's been about let's see...about 22 years, we went when we were 16.
11. What's your favorite Halloween candy?
Funsize Snickers or Reece's cups.
12. Tell us about a scary nightmare you had.
Jaws gave me terrible nightmares as a kid. I had a Jaws poster in my room, and my parents had to take it down because it kept scaring me.
13. What is your supernatural fear?
Zombies msn, creep me out.
14. What is your creepy-crawlie fear?
Those big centipedes with the long antenae
15. Would you ever stay in a real haunted house overnight?
Hells yes, let's all go to the Stanley
16. Are you a traditionalist (just a face) Jack O'Lantern carver, or do you get really creative with your pumpkins?
I'm very traditional.
17. How much do you decorate your home for Halloween?
My home is always decorated for Halloween
18. Do you think Halloween is too commercial these days? Do you miss classic Halloween costumes or traditions from your childhood?
Nope, it's just right. Although I wish there was more emphasis on scary.
It looks as if I will not be doing the NaNoWriMo this year, much as I might like to.
Well, I may surprise myself. I haven't gone through my idea file yet, I need to.
Any of YOU doing the NaNo?
EDIT: Okay seriously, stop sending paid time and userpic time, you anonymous wonderful people!!!
