Happy Bday to me, Happy Bday to me, I'm stuck here at wo--ork, Happy Bday to me. To all my fellow scorpios out there a Happy Birthday as well.
A Happy Halloween and a huge thanks to everyone that posted.
Hi, this is Mir from the The Dim Sum Diaries.
In the spirit of Halloween, you can now carve your own virtual pumpkin!
I am Luka from Incogblogo and I do the FFAF at my site as well. Feel free to swing by and post :) Typically I do movie quotes - and I am gonna do the same this month as well. This twist this month - since the Halloween is Sunday - all the movies are Halloween'y. Or at least sort of :)
It's Halloween, everyone's entitled to one good scare.
Can you name this movie?
Well, I am sick today.
So that means everyone gets the same post. :-D
And here we have a really long Deep Thought with Jack Handy.
I'll never forget the time I got caught stealing watermelons from old Mr. Barnslow's watermelon patch. I was with my friend Bobby. We were giggling so hard I thought I'd wet my pants! At first we tried to steal two watermelons each, but they were too heavy and we dropped them, and that made us laugh even harder. Finally, we each picked out a good one, and we were just about to sneak back through the fence when we heard a low, deep voice behind us. 'Just where do you think you're going with those watermelons?' I gulped and turned around. It was old Mr. Barnslow, pointing his shotgun at us. Bobby dropped his watermelon, then pulled out the .38 revolver he kept in his waist, turned, and fired. But the turning must have thrown off his aim, because the shot only hit Mr. Barnslow in the thigh. Mr. Barnslow immediately fired both barrels at Bobby. One blast of buckshot missed entirely, but the other tore into Bobby's shoulder. He tried to fire back, but his shoulder was so torn up he couldn't raise his arm. Just as he was trying to switch to his left hand, Mr. Barnslow ran up and cracked him across the face with the butt of his shotgun. Bobby fell to the ground in a heap. Mr. Barnslow raised the butt of his gun to finish him off, but just then Bobby pulled out his hunting knife and plunged it into the farmer's big white belly. After that, I don't think I stole watermelons for at least a year.

This is quite exciting. I enjoy posting on my own blog, but posting on someone else's...in my own geeky way, is kind of a kick.
So, what will I talk about??? What zingers will I share with you? I thought I would share 10 little snippets with you. Hope you enjoy...and I don't bore you too much!
1. I want the election to be over...without drama and lawyers. And of course, I want my guy to win.
2. I am addicted to reality TV. I have shame about it, but love it anyways. The Apprentice. The Real World. Fear Factor....the list could go on and on.
3. I am 27 and just recently moved back in with my parents. Now tell me that isn't embarassing?
4. I found this post through Blog Explosion. Come check out my digs. BE is my new addiction. I just can't read enough of new blogs. One, some are cool. And two, I love seeing the post count on my blog. BE is like heroin!
5. I watched the last 8 games that the Red Sox played and believe I am without a doubt...the anti-curse!
6. I play online poker all the time...and am pretty good at it, if I don't say.
7. I am a social worker, but currently unemployed. Does that still make me a social worker?
8. I believe Kiefer Sutherland to be the bees knees. He is uber talented and too cute for words. I would watch him in anything...anything. That being said, I am missing the new season of 24 something fierce. Is it January yet?
9. I never thought I would be a consistent blogger. I have surprised myself at how much I am enjoying it.
10. Hmm, every entry has started with the word "I"...is that more evidence that the world is all about me? *giggles* Just kidding!
If you want more kernels a la Shelley...come visit me! I promise I will return the favor.
Thanks for the guest blog opportunity. It's been a blast!
So I've been surfing the 'net to try and figure out what to be for Hallowe'en... And so far all I've come up with is.....
PIPPI LONGSTOCKING!What do you think? Anyone else got some good costume ideas?

I suppose this is a bit of a moot point for me. I live in England, and we don't really go for the whole Halloween thing, think grannies with bad accents and large, heavy handbags. Finally, I'm going to a mate's party, and I'm quite looking forward to it :p Maybe that wasn't as interesting as I thought.

My mother used to decorate for all the holidays when we were kids. She doesn't do it so much now, which I guess is just testament to how the magic kind of seeps out of the day when you grow up.
Anyway, aside from all the cartoony ghost and pumpkin decorations she'd hang on windows and doors, she had a Dracula cutout that used to scare the bejeezus out of me. Ole Drac had wide, buggy eyes and fangs. He just looked menacing. And without fail, every year, Mom would pose me in front of the poster in costume for a picture.
I still see his face sometimes. Damned vampires.
Check out the website and trailer for a new short film called 'Hunting Camp'.
HUNTING CAMP is a drama that tells the story of two men brought up in very different levels of society and the mess they find themselves in during a weekend camping trip. The trailer (in Windows Media Player format) can be found by going to MEDIA -> VIDEO. You can also find an assortment of stills, behind the scenes photos, and a video of Dedloft, one of the bands featured on the upcoming soundtrack, recording in the studio at the site:
The trailer for HUNTING CAMP premiered during this month's Eerie Horror Film Fest at the Roadhouse Theater in Erie PA. In the works is an early Winter 2004 film premiere (locations and dates TBA) with the soundtrack and DVD double disc set being available at that time as well.

Doin' the happy dance. I got the phone call today that I start my new job with progressive auto ins on nov 15tn. I am so excited. I will hate to leave all my friends at my current job, but sometimes when it is time to move on you have to look out for yourself, something I haven't done. I am nervous about starting a new job but what the hell, it keeps you on your toes and lets you know you are alive....talk about a great B-day present.
This is a quote from one of my favoriate movies The American President. The speech given by Andrew Shepard(Micheal Douglas) is a great example of what I think we would like to hear and see our president do and believe.
The quote begins as follows: For the last couple of months, Senator Rumson has suggested that being President of this country was, to a certain extent, about character. And although I've not been willing to engage in his attacks on me, I've been here three years and three days, and I can tell you without hesitation being President of this country is entirely about character.
For the record, yes, I am a card carrying member of the ACLU, but the more important question is "Why aren't you, Bob?" Now this is an organization whose sole purpose is to defend the Bill of Rights, so it naturally begs the question, why would a senator, his party's most powerful spokesman and a candidate for President, choose to reject upholding the constitution? Now if you can answer that question, folks, then you're smarter that I am, because I didn't understand it until a few hours ago.
America isn't easy. America is advanced citizenship. You've gotta want it bad, cause it's gonna put up a fight. It's gonna say, "You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who's standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours." You want to claim this land as the land of the free? Then the symbol of your country cannot just be a flag. The symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Now show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms. Then you can stand up and sing about the land of the free.
I've known Bob Rumson for years. And I've been operating under the assumption that the reason Bob devotes so much time and energy to shouting at the rain was that he simply didn't get it. Well I was wrong. Bob's problem isn't that he doesn't get it. Bob's problem is that he can't sell it!
We have serious problems to solve, and we need serious people to solve them. And whatever your particular problem is, I promise you Bob Rumson is not the least bit interested in solving it. He is interested in two things, and two things only: making you afraid of it, and telling you who's to blame for it. That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you win elections. You gather a group of middle age, middle class, middle income voters who remember with longing an easier time, and you talk to them about family, and American values and character, and you wave an old photo of the President's girlfriend and you scream about patriotism -- you tell them she's to blame for their lot in life. And you go on television and you call her a whore.
Sydney Ellen Wade has done nothing to you, Bob. She has done nothing but put herself through school, represent the interests of public school teachers, and lobby for the safety of our natural resources. You want a character debate, Bob? You better stick with me, 'cause Sydney Ellen Wade is way out of your league.
I've loved two women in my life. I lost one to cancer. And I lost the other 'cause I was so busy keeping my job, I forgot to do my job. Well that ends right now.
Tomorrow morning the White House is sending a bill to Congress for it's consideration. It's White House Resolution 455, an energy bill requiring a twenty percent reduction of the emission of fossil fuels over the next ten years. It is by far the most aggressive stride ever taken in the fight to reverse the effects of global warming. The other piece of legislation is the crime bill. As of today, it no longer exists. I'm throwing it out. I'm throwing it out and writing a law that makes sense. You cannot address crime prevention without getting rid of assault weapons and hand guns. I consider them a threat to national security, and I will go door to door if I have to, but I'm gonna convince Americans that I'm right, and I'm gonna get the guns.
We've got serious problems, and we need serious people. And if you want to talk about character, Bob, you'd better come at me with more than a burning flag and a membership card. If you want to talk about character and American values, fine. Just tell me where and when, and I'll show up. This a time for serious people, Bob, and your fifteen minutes are up.
My name is Andrew Shepherd, and I AM the President.
I am really impressed with this new site. it gives me a chance to get some ideas about what to do for my new skins, and some layouts and just different opinions in the world. It is very interesting to see how many blogs are actually out there. There is a link to this great site on the side of my blog in favoriate links, sign up and reap the benefits.
What a great time, thanks Bill for getting us some great discounts and for the guided tour. From the outstanding music at 42nd street, to one of the better bartenders that I have ever had make me a drink at 717. I would highly recommend checking out Bill's blog to see what is going on in the area and check out information of the local scene out there. I can't wait for the next event.
