horror harem

finally watched the shining starring jack nicholson on ifc
a task of mine that's long overdue
i kept seeing the reference on meme pics and family guy
never quite understood it
the main lady just keeps running like a blowup sex doll with a knife
the little boy was so cute!
excellent performance from jack as always
i remember watching family guy
stewie was riding his bike and running over the (ghost) twins and osama bin laden ahah

the only thing i like about halloween is the horror shows and movies
lots of channels show classic horror movies
ahh~ it's like i have my own horror harem

history channel is showing the real story of halloween
i learned that christian beggars back then used to offer prayers for the souls in purgatory in exchange for cookies
they'd go around knocking on doors and asking for treats
and i guess that's where trick or treating came from
weird...

every year people ask me if i am going to dress up for halloween
as sad as this sounds, it's just not my thing... i don't get excited or giddy when it comes to it
so i tell them no, they ask why, my reason being i'm too old cos i can't very well say it's lame and stupid, and they say you're never too old blah blah blah
whatevs people

i remember one time janine asked me why skeletons are associated with the desert
i told her that a long time ago, when they didn't have electricity and buildings, when cowboys still ruled the towns, there were people who traveled a long ways to get to their destination
and that included walking in the middle of the desert
sometimes they'd get lost and run out of food and water
and it would drive them to have hallucinations
their mental and physical health would just go downhill, leading to their deaths and not being properly buried so their remains became visible in the desert sand

she believed me LOL
i just made that story up right on the spot
but it makes sense doesn't it?
i used to watch a lot of cartoons as a kid so my imagination can get pretty wacky
