Weekend Moments

We had a nice, simple weekend around here.

Friday, Anthony and I saw, Gravity. It’s an incredible film from top to bottom. One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I don’t want to ruin anything for anyone, so go see it and maybe I’ll talk about it in a week or so.

Saturday was spent in thrift stores and at the park. In the evening we got together with the band to work on new songs and such. Then Saturday night we had our friends over for the 3rd installment of “6 Nights of Horror” (I completely forgot to take pictures of that event, but I promise to do so next weekend).

We watched a horror comedy this time around, “Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil.” We had talked about doing “Shawn of the Dead,” but most folks have seen that one so we thought we would go a bit more obscure and it paid off.

Sunday was full of resting, reading, and preparing for the beginning of the week.
A lovely, simple weekend all in all. The best kind you can ask for.

October Country

My favorite month has begun and I have every intention of doing it too the max.

Apple cider, pumpkin patches, haunted houses, costumes, and horror movies are all on the agenda. In fact, we’ve already begun celebrating Halloween in my house. Or, perhaps it would be more accurate to say, we never stop celebrating Halloween in our house. A good look around the place will reveal that we’re always decorated for October.

Gargoyles keep sprouting up in the corners to look out for us. And everywhere you look are skeletons to keep you company.

I feel most at home with things a little spooky around. And every October I seem to find a little something new to add to the collection.

In addition to our general Halloween fun, Anthony and I have been hosting a movie night titled, “Six Nights of Horror”. Each weekend, for the six weeks leading up to Halloween we will be having a screening of a horror movie. Some are classics, some are obscure, others are really more horror comedy, but we’re making sure to dive deep into every aspect of the genre.

I’ll make sure to post our whole screening list here soon. And expect a post about this weekend’s screening. It’s going to be a double feature!
