HORROR MOVIE TIME!!
Loathe as I am to even grant this video more views than it already has, I watched it yesterday through my fingers, with all the lights on, covering my mouth in advance of the vomit I felt rising in my throat. It’s less than six minutes long, but it’s the scariest horror movie you’re going…

My Haunted House
I’ve shared some info here about my Greenpoint apartment, but did you know it’s haunted??? YES! By which I mean the previous tenants left some pretty wild stuff behind. Like the painted skull head on the glass cabinet door. Really, who does that, even? How long has it even been there? WOAH! Open what? Skulls? Okay,…

What Are You Afraid Of???
Irrational fears: everyone’s got ’em. When I give ghost tours, I talk about hauntings and serial killers and people love it but heaven forbid a rat runs by, and they lose their shit!!! Rats are just squirrels with bad haircuts! Rats are a totally irrational fear – leave them alone, and they won’t bother you!…

Winter Is Coming!
So I’m looking at that exclamation point thinking, “maybe that looks just a little too happy.” But this picture pretty much communicates how I truly feel about this weather lately. I want to point out that this picture was taken in the doorway of my building on Thursday, and I went out to Happy Hour…

Halloween is just around the corner, and everyone is abuzz talking about horror movies, so why not talk about my favourite horror of all time? Yes, I just equated periods to horror movies. They are kind of the same, aren’t they? You like the idea of them, but still get grossed out by all the…

Keepsake
A post-it note. A cork. An empty perfume bottle. Why do I feel the need to keep things? Do I keep things just for the sake of keeping things? The trend lately is on simplifying. Cleaning out, decluttering, weeding through your personal items to claim only the most necessary to keep. Marie Kondo, and other…

Traditions are very important. Halloween is my favourite holiday. Therefore, TAKE NOTE: Halloween traditions are THE MOST IMPORTANT. 1. Mellocreme Pumpkins It’s not really Halloween until my first Mellocreme Pumpkin! Confession: I bought a bag of these beauties in Reno, literally just hours after leaving Burning Man. Saw them in a store in early September,…

Had A Dream About You, Baby
Yeah, this post steals it’s title from a Bob Dylan song, but no, it’s not about Bob Dylan, but it is about something that makes my skin crawl. The other night I had a dream that I had a baby. Don’t worry, I’m not about to describe some horrible gory nightmare birth, this isn’t the…

5 Fandom Friday: Hey Teacher…
This topic is near and dear to my heart, since I worked in a school for a year and definitely had delusions of wanting to be a teacher (!!!) for a while, and though that didn’t really pan out, I do have massive respect for these fictional teachers for actually doing it! 1. Miss Mason,…

Me? Unfriendly?
I did something I never thought I’d do the other day. Something I always said I’d never do*. For the first time, I unfriended someone on Facebook because I was offended. *Let me be clear: this is not the first time I’ve unfriended someone on Facebook, and I’m not against unfriending people who have stalked…
