wanna see something really scary?

I was going to skip the traditional Halloween/horror movie post simply because I thought it was played out. But who knew? I got a bunch of mail from people looking for it. So whoomp, here it is.

your mother sews socks that smell: a sort of review of the exorcist

Was up most of the night staring at the lightning, listening to the rain and hacking up part of my lung. I forgot about that lovely benefit of giving up cigarettes – coughing up chunks of lung butter. The lightning was pretty cool. Ok, it was a little scary. I’m a wuss like that. But [...]
