As I sit and update our gallery with photos of our yard *wow… exciting* I can’t help but have scenes from Edward Scissorhands (removed by remote site) and The Burbs flash in my head.

I try to time it so Ryan and I aren’t leaving the house for work at the same time. Otherwise I have a very weird day.

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

          

This article was posted by a fellow slahdotter. It is quite informative about possible dvd problems. I had no idea that this was something that was even possible. We’ve invested heavily in a dvd collection, and those things aren’t cheep. It would be horrible if they started to deteriorate. I thought that by going to dvd we’d eliminatned the possibility of picture quality and sound fading, and we have, but only to stumble onto a new problem. Needless to say I’m going home to check our Contact dvd tonight.

          

It’s that time of the year again. People whip out the cute Halloween decorations ‘although there is a house not too far from us that has gone WAY overboard’ the air is crisp and of course we Texans are sporting the layered look and leather coats even though it’s just 50 outside. We went to a haunted house last weekend and each time I’ve gone ‘3 times’ to a haunted house I’ve been disappointed. I don’t like being scared and don’t really see the point. I think standing in the line gets me all wound up and anxious, because after we make it through one it was really quite silly. It’s always the same thing… someone jumps out at you. I don’t understand why that is worth 20 bux. Out of the 4 or 5 haunted houses we went through only one was any good. It was a haunted house with clowns. If you’re not scared of clowns, I don’t know what is wrong with you. The idea of having a smile painted on 24/7 is bad enough, without the crazy hair, big shoes, and all the noises they make. Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Need I say more.
