Carved Some Pumpkins 10.26.09

This evening we spent some time carving some pumpkins for Halloween.  Alicia bought 8 and brought to the house over the weekend, and we just now found the time this afternoon to carve them.  This is the first time I’ve carved a pumpkin in years, and coincidentally is the best one that I’ve ever done.  [...]

Catching Up For Saw VI 10.24.09

I usually like to do things in the order they should be done, and in the case of movies, watching them in the order of release.  But for the Saw movies, I started with Saw V last Halloween when I was invited to the movies to watch it.  I’m not big into gory stuff, but [...]

Best Approach To Possible Happenings 10.09.09

Hope for the best.  Expect the worst.
That’s what I do.  So much better than expecting things to work out in the best way when there’s always a chance that they won’t.  It doesn’t give you as much of a let down if things fall through, yet sets you up for a nice little surprise if [...]

Response Suspense 10.02.09

I hate sending someone a message, someone you don’t really know but would really like to know, and not getting a response in a decent time-frame.  I think it’s just really seeing acknowledgment that what I said was taken correctly.  I’m always second guessing myself, the wording of things I write, wondering if I perhaps [...]
