random blog huckabuck.........

the weekend: it's finally here! tomorrow we go pick up the antique wheelchair groundcat won on ebay (pic on left.) very exciting! i hope it comes with it's own creepy doll (pic on right.)

photo debate: i am thinking about changing my profile pic. everyone loves the one on the left, but it's 3 years old. i like the one on the right, i look a little crabby and you can see my lazy eye. what do you think???

stormy weather: since everyone's been asking- yes, i did get caught in the bad storms downtown yesterday. it was nuts! i left work around 4:15pm and the traffic lights were all out on superior. i got on the freeway and traffic was at a standstill. it took me over 30 minutes to get around dead man's curve! there was a huge flood and we all had to get over into the far left lane, and even then the water was almost up to our doors. another flood at 55th stopped my progress, but after that it was fine. news story is linked here.

work and blogs: work has been high stress. i get in early, leave late, and don't even have time to read blogs! ah, but i am on the clock blogging right now, so i feel better. the first blog i checked this morning was a real shocker. renny's blog (click here) is the craziest thing i've ever seen. i am still recovering.

movie review: we watched an old horror film last night. "black christmas" was made a few years before "halloween" and is considered the first real "slasher" film. oddly enough, it was directed by the guy who went on to make "a christmas story". black christmas is amazing and i can't believe i never heard of it until last year when i saw it on bravo. (the film was #87 on bravo's 100 scariest movie moments.) i loved it and found it to be super creepy, totally dated (in a fun way) and genuinely scary.

favorite snacks: i have become a vending machine expert. my new favorite snack is something called "yogurt apple nut mix", yum! that and a bag of mini triscuits is a nice lunch! my new candy obsessions are brach's abracabubble and the jelly nougats.

"BRACH’S® Abra Cabubble® is made by taking a gum ball and then putting a hard cherry flavored candy shell around the outside of it. It is like getting two pieces of candy in one!"

"BRACH'S® Jelly Nougats are creamy soft nougats with chewy jellies added to give them a fruity flavor!"

ok, that's all i got today. ciao!
