happy halloween!!

So it's Halloween! I couldn't think of anything to dress up as at work. There were a lot of people that did. I think the best costume so far was a lady who dressed up as Mimi Bobek from the Drew Carey show. She had the clown makeup, the garish clothing, and the hair that looks like a wig (in this case it was a wig).

I watched Saw V last night, it was ok. It had some twists and turns and gore as per usual, but nothing that shocked or 'wowed' me as much as the first one did. When the first Saw came out, there hadn't been that type of movie out before as far as I know. It was fresh, scary, and had so many twists. The ending blew your mind!!

There is something wrong with my eye. Well not my eye exactly, the side of the nose that is right beside my eye has either been bitten by a bug, or decided to become a Stye. Either way it is achy, and it is causing my eye to swell up and look funny a bit.
Hopefully it doesn't get any worse. I am going to try a hot tea bag tonight, see if that works. My coworker told me to keep an eye on it. She isn't a professional comedian surprise surprise :P

Anyways, I've been told we can head out early for Halloween. I am going to go home and set up my fog machine and strobe light. I am taking the kiddo out tonight, so I will have to instruct my sister on how to use it.

As some of you may or may not know, I have a 10 year old son whom I get every other weekend. I never no what to do with him, and getting him away from the computer or TV is like pulling teeth, so today my strategy was to not tell him where we were going, but make him come with me.

So we drove to the Sentry Box, which is a geek's utopia of card games, miniature battle games, role playing games, and they even have an awesome board game selection and anime selection. They also have events and tournements there, today in the upper section, they had at least 30 people playing various games.

It's basically a store where a geek could spend 2 hours in without spending a dime and just gawk at everything in there.



If I wasn't so cheap I'd have probably spent at least 200-300 dollars for sure :P

I think he had a pretty good time, even though we didn't buy anything, it was cool looking at everything with him.

After that, we drove to a different Canadian Tire and found a fog machine. I bought two jugs of fog fluid, and tried it out at home. It works ok, but I think I need to buy a timer for it. Otherwise you have to sit there and press the on button every once and awhile :(

I should buy another one though, then I could have two going and really make a foggy Halloween night :)

I don't know what we are going to do tomorrow. Maybe take him to the bar and teach him how to drink. I think your liver is fully developed at 10 right?? hehehe

After we got back and were done playing with the fog machine, we watched a really crummy horror movie called "Buried Alive". It wasn't released in theaters and it wasn't even lame in a good way. My kiddo was scared, so he wanted me to put something not as scary on after, so we watched a nightmare before Christmas, which for some reason creeped me out a lot this time.


It was way creepier than the stupid lame horror movie he was scared of.

Maybe tomorrow we can go shopping for a cell phone. I was told surprisingly enough that Marlborough mall has a lot of good cell phone kiosks to check phones out at.

Oh yea, here is an awesome blog, if I were cool, this would be my blog for sure.

Hey, did I mention that I am a media junkie?

Either way, I have to thank Agent EE for sending me links to cool new music that I would otherwise not be exposed too.

Ween, MGMT, mother mother, Chicane, Tegan and Sara, Small Sins, um, probably a few more that I can't recall :)

The music is mostly indie, I think Tegan and Sara are the closest thing to mainstream in that list.
I usually am only exposed to mainstream sadly, mostly because I am not cool enough to know about indie artists. I don't really listen to the radio (CJSW) or watch the indie shows on Much Music or MTV.

I downloaded the Sara Conner Chronicles, so I will probably watch that all night :( stupid media junkie.

Hopefully consuming all this media will one day pay off. Maybe I'll come up with a 'get rich quick' scheme that involves media and the Internet :P
If anybody has an idea for me to get rich, let me know. If it works I will give you half.

I really want to buy a fog machine for Halloween. I went to 2 Canadian tires and they were sold out. Wal-mart might have one, but Wal-mart is evil. Will I be tempted, and support the big blue box? I saw a documentary on people who live in small towns that try to keep wall mart out of there towns. It's funny though, about half of the town wants it, the other half doesn't.











I was thinking if they were cheap enough, I would surround my house with them, that way the zombies wont find me ;)
