The tension in the room is palpable.  Well, not really.  For one thing, I’m the only one here.  For another, I just woke up an hour ago, and it takes me at least 3 hours before I’m able to function at normal levels of emotion. But still.  Palpable.  Because I like that word. This was [...]

The big day has finally arrived, and as usual, I wish I could turn back the clock so it could be October 1st again.  I love Halloween of course, but now that it’s here, I know it’ll be over all too soon. I spent last night watching the Halloween specials that have become part of [...]

First, of course, see my previous post to enter the Coffin Hop contest, in which you can win a huge Halloween Mystery Bag filled with much goodness. Today one of my students took a photo of me using an “app” that turns you into a zombie.  Needless to say I had to show off my [...]

Help Me Win

Dudes, Dudettes, and Gentle Inbetweenies, Today I call on you for the good of the kingdom.  For there is an evil that must be slain, and you, my band of psychos, are the only ones who can do it. Okay, fine.  It’s not really all that evil.  And nothing has to be slain. I wrote [...]

What’s Halloween Without Fright Rags?

I’ve never been a fan of clothes shopping.  I hate it, in fact.  Clothes serve a utilitarian purpose, and as far as I’m concerned, that’s all.  That means two things.  One, I usually look like a bum.  And two, I never spend extravagant sums of money of fashionable clothing.
