31 Day Horror Movie Challenge

Doing this challenge over at my Tumblr blog and figured I would post here, as well.

Day 01: A horror movie that delivered a scary theater experience

I wasn’t able to see Halloween in theaters when it was first released, back in ‘78. But in 2006 the film was re-released in theaters for two nights - October 30th & 31st. My wife and I went to one showing and I can honestly say I was as unsettled after seeing it then as I have been every other time I have watched it. Maybe even more so, because we had to leave the theater and go out into the night. Loved the experience and wish they would do this again, or at least with other classic films.

Christmas is Coming!

Whew!

I successfully completed another year of NaNoWriMo! I was writing down to the last day, but all went well and the novel is done. Nothing major, a fanfic story, but it was fun to write and good practice, right? Right.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And now it is already 23 days til Christmas. Where does the time go?

Here, we celebrate the day after Thanksgiving to New Year's as 'Christmastime'. We enjoy it all, instead of setting our sights on just one day and having it go by too fast.

To all of you: Happy Christmastime!

April Challenge

I have had Blogger's Block for awhile now. Worse than Writer's Block, this version leaves me with nothing to post here, other than my Movie Monday reviews. So, when I saw the following on TumblFrog and then Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness, I decided it was a good way to get myself posting SOMETHING every day this month.

The challenge is to post each day using the following schedule:


•Day One: Favourite Actor

•Day Two: Favourite Movie

•Day Three: Favourite Musician

•Day Four: Favourite Book

•Day Five: Favourite Food

•Day Six: Favourite Song

•Day Seven: Favourite TV Show

•Day Eight: Pictures Of Your Room

•Day Nine: Favourite Flower

•Day Ten: Favourite Outfit

•Day Eleven: Recent Picture Of Yourself

•Day Twelve: Where Your Family Is From

•Day Thirteen: Favourite Memory

•Day Fourteen: Favourite Purchase Ever Made

•Day Fifteen: Current Grades

•Day Sixteen: Future Tattoos

•Day Seventeen: A Childhood Picture

Interesting and will hopefully be fun for me, and you, too!

Thanks to the brain behind this, whoever you are!
