I've got so much so I'll give you some
I feel so worn out right now... not tired, or sleepy, just blah.
It is Halloween, and sadly, the Halloween spirit isn't with me this year. The candy-eating spirit, yes, but that's it. I made a list of movies to watch last week, but am now experiencing doubts. "The Exorcist" - not the same without EC. "Scream" - just watched it a few weeks ago. "Halloween" - ditto. "Nightmare on Elm Street" - I watched part of Wes Craven's "New Nightmare" a couple nights ago and right now I'm having a major Freddy Krueger freakout. Eek. Also, I was going to go to the video store Friday to pick up "Seven" and possibly "Candyman", but remembered that I want to be able to sleep without nightmares sometime this decade.
I do resolve to watch at least one scary movie; regrettably, during the non-dark hours, as the dark hours will be occupied by dinner and candy and "Prison Break."
Yesterday, my mom and I worked on the Thanksgiving menu. She and my grandmother, every year, just have to top each other and we end up with too much, no matter how small we try to keep the list. Sigh. And of course other people don't bring anything... how annoying. Anyway! My own contributions this year: zucchini quiche for an appetizer, homemade cranberry sauce (though almost everyone prefers canned... sniff), and bread pudding for dessert. And I have convinced my mom to make macaroni and cheese... drool.
I just realized this morning that I didn't mail in my absentee ballot, so I will have to go vote in person. Wah. At least I know where it is (my brother's school). Actually, I like voting in person, just because you get the "I Voted" sticker. Stickers rule. I miss my collection I had in elementary school... it was really pretty big. A lot of them were scratch n sniff, yum.
I went to Long's awhile ago and was somewhat naughty... besides necessities, I got some organic mango lip balm, for some reason. It was more the word "organic" than the "mango" part because... I don't like mangoes. You can put that under my ever-growing "Stupid Purchases" list. And: a bottle of Charlie cologne. I have a little one of Charlie White but the more I sniff it, but the more I realize I don't care for it... it's too... heavy, I guess. But the plain Charlie is nice, and I've been itching to buy a new perfume lately.
I was so excited; I saw a "Love's" perfume gift pack with little purple and blue bottles, and I thought they finally put "Soft Jasmine" and "Rain" scents out again. No luck. Blue was "Berry Blue" and purple was... something Blossom... I nearly cried. They didn't even have samples out for me to sniff.
The whole changing time, daylight savings, standard time thing is messing with my head... stupid farmers.
So - guess who's dumb enough to consider, one day before NaNoWriMo starts, doing an entirely different project? If you guessed me, you are so right, I am so dumb. My problem with New Project: too many damn characters (two dozen minimum, as opposed to 8 or 10 in Original Project). Damn Sophomore Slump. Maybe I'll sit out on doing Official NaNo this year and finish "Good Girls." But... that's no fun... and my pretty NaNoWriMo 2005 bloggie is wasted.
Enough about me; Cute Guy Alert! Wil Wheaton, best known as Gordon on "Stand By Me"* (though he was apparently on one of the "Star Treks", which makes me giggle), was recently on VH1's "I Love the 80's 3D." My thoughts: Cutie, cutie, cutie. In a semi-geeky kind of way, and he was actually pretty funny.

* I can't watch "Stand By Me" - seriously, I can't watch the entire movie, just because of the whole eating contest scene. Ugh. I have to actually look away when flipping past that part in the novella, in case I accidentally see a gross word.
Anyway, it's good to see him around. We know what Jerry O'Connell (is it O'Connell? I have a hard time remembering Irish names for some reason) and Corey Feldman are up to; I'd rather see Wil over them any day. I know he was on "CSI" awhile back (either early this season or late last one) but I can't remember who he was or what it was about. He's also a blogger; how can that not be appealing?

He was a homeless bum on CSI last season. I forget the guy's name but he did it wonderfully.
