October 29th, 2007Eat, Drink and Be Scary
After asking my math teacher what date I should put at the top of my test today, I realized, “It’s going to be Hallowe’en in a few days.” I’m a little on the bah-humbugey side of the holidays this year. I was hoping to have my own home by this time, but the slackers at the VA have put that on hold. Well, not having much time to house-hunt has kind of put the search on hold, too. I’d even be happy to rent, but land-lords have little interest in renting to people with any pets, let alone a whole passel of critters.
It’s not that I mind missing out on the Hallowe’en festivities much. Most of the moochers don’t even bother to dress up or even say, “Trick-or-Treat,” anymore. They just knock on the door and blink. Don’t I know that I’m just supposed to give them candy? So, there will be no decorating, no passing out of the candies, no dressing up. Maybe a few late-night, horror movies. Maybe some games. Maybe I’ll just do my homework.
Speaking of movies and games, the M&Ms 50 Dark Movies, Hidden in a Painting game is back again this year. After the game loads, you can navigate around the ‘painting’ with your mouse cursor. You can click on certain images and type in the name of the corresponding movie. Remember, there are 50 images that match a movie title. If you click the image below, I’ve given you the answer to one, can you name the other 49?

I’ve always believed that trick-or-treating is for the little ones. Once you’re out of grade school, you’re done trick-or-treating at our house.
Also, if you can’t dress up, say “trick or treat” AND “thank you”, you should stay home!
I’m just grateful that those days are over for me. I always dreaded Halloween when my kids were little.

I agree about the beggars and glad we no longer get them.
I got 14 of the movies so far.

I’ve always loved Halloween and I wish it weren’t going the way of the Dodo. But, I’m content to just curl up and have a horror film marathon.
I got to 28 movies before I had to quit. I’ll give it another go after homework.
