Ack, I almost forgot to do the movies!
Today's movie is: "The Fearless Vampire Killers or: Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are in My Neck" (1967)... riiiiiiight... never saw it, doubt I want to... :)
The secondary movie is "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"... probably gonna get flamed ALL to hell for this one, but I HATE the TV show, and I LOVE this movie... so nyah... :p
Since I won't be here over the weekend, let's get the primary movies for Saturday and Sunday out of the way, shall we?
Saturday: "Andy Warhol's Dracula" (1974)... huh what? Another riiiiiiiight... :)
Sunday: "The Amityville Horror" (1979)... nope, not my style... never saw it, never will...

Well, every once in a while, this movie thing doesn't have a movie... so apparently today is Ed Wood's b-day (or would be, if he were still alive), so it's just talking about several of his movies... which I have never seen... because while I don't have a problem with bad movies (I sat through the entirety of "Blood Sucking Pharohs from Pittsburgh!"), Ed Wood movies are another matter entirely... :) Haven't actually seen "Ed Wood," either, even though Johnny Depp is in it... :)
Anyways, time to see what people have searched for to find my site... unfortunately, not much of interest this week... there's a marked increase in the number of searches for "scary," probably with Halloween rapidly approaching... so only a couple of interest:
For those who don't know what the deal is, Carbondale, Illinois, where I live, is well known for our Halloween riots... I don't personally know how long these have been going on for, but this will be my 5th Halloween in C-dale... there's only been riots one year that I've been here, I think... the problem is that in the past, everyone would be in town for Halloween, and the bars would be open... and when they closed, around 2 a.m., all the drunk college students run out into the streets and riot... since I've been here, they've tried a couple of things to cut back on the riots... the first couple of years, they closed the university around Halloween, and tried to get as many people as possible to go home... that worked well enough, and it looked like the riots were over for good... so then one year (this was 2000, I believe), they left the university open, as well as the bars... guess what happened? RIOTS! :)
So then last year, they closed the university and the bars... no riots! :) Brilliant, people... truly brilliant... in 2000, student + bars = riots! In previous years, no students + bars = no riots... in 2001, no students + no bars = no riots... So this year, they're trying a new equation... students + no bars = ???... my guess? No riots... but we shall see... :)

- "buttmagic" - right, I'm thinking that wasn't a search for my friend Steve... but that's okay... :)
- "halloween Carbondale" - YES! Our reputation preceeds us! :)

Horribly sleepy at the moment...
Today's movie: "Blade" (1998)... definitely another good vampire movie! I'm actually surprised I don't own it! The sequel, on the other hand, was not nearly as good, though I liked some aspects of it a bit better...
The secondary movie is "From Dusk till Dawn," which, IMHO, is not so much a vampire movie as a Quentin Tarantino movie that happens to feature some vampires as characters... and then they made a sequel or two... gah! Bad idea!

Today's movie: "Near Dark" (1987)... despite the fact that this movie was available at Splash Page (the gaming shop in Kirksville), and despite the fact that one summer, Jed, John, and I tried to watch every vampire movie known to man (and some that shouldn't have been known to ANYONE!), I have never seen "Near Dark"... that's terribly annoying... perhaps I'll add it to the list of movies that I need to see... :)
The secondary movie, however, is "Lost Boys," which is a wonderful movie... both Corey's (Haim and Feldman, for those unaware of 80s movie stars), and such great lines as "Chill out, Edgar!"... what's not to like? :)
My other comment for the day is that I'm happy it's finally decided to get cool out, but a little warning might have been nice! :) There's something wrong about running around in shorts and T-shirts one day, and feeling the need for quilts and such the next! But around here, you can never be sure how long the cool weather will last... it might be in the upper 70s this weekend, according to the forecast I read this morning... craziness!
And I've decided I'm probably not going to do NaNoWriMo this year either... I read through some stuff, and it looks like I would have to write close to 2,000 words a day, EVERY day... I'm not sure I can come up with that much writing... I might try to do something of the sort, but I doubt I'll make it...
