OCTOBER IS THE BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay. First of all, let me just say. I had made a promise to myself that I was going to post every single day in October. And all of a sudden it's the EIGHTH of October and I haven't been here in soooo long! Let me say, secondly, that I absolutely LOVE October! It's been such a great month already. (Except for work, which is a whole nother story... that I will talk about later perhaps?)  It's really been lovely. I have never really been that big a fan of Fall because too many things change during that time, and as time and change are my natural enemies, obviously you can see my aversion to the season! Of course, things that do change are often good or at least healthy but still. ANYWAY this year is different. I'm super stoked on life and FALL and especially OCTOBER!!!! Obviously, you all know because you read my blog obsessively all the time every day of your life (not, obviously) that in October we watch SPOOOOOKY MOVIES (A trend officially started last year by dead blogger WerePony, abandoned soon after and thus adopted by me and an OFFICIAL month-long holiday !!!! ) in a month long marathon called SPOOKFEST !!!! And yes, it is SpookFest2010 up in herrreeeee and so far I've really really enjoyed the movies that we've watched. But, I have to say, we're being too slow because we have so many movies to get through and not nearly enough time, especially if we're 8 days into the month already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, some of the movies we've watched:

~Last Man On Earth (the old one, with Vincent Price, you know, what I Am Legend starring Will Smith was based on? Yes, LMOE is really really good. I Am Legend, I cannot and will not vouch for.)

~Pet Sematary (AHhh!!!!! I had the best time watching this!!!!!!! I love this movie. Totally. Such fun!!!)

~28 Days Later (Okay, this movie is obviously awesome and really great, I haven't seen the sequel but I want to get it for SpookFest10 !!! Anyway I love the Pepsi and Valium)

~Sleepy Hollow (Tim Burtons, and I really really really enjoyed watching this too, I gave it my full attention but somehow fell asleep the last 3 minutes of the movie and missed part of the end ??? What the hell, Smog?)

~The Crow 4: Wicked Prayer (We watched this last night with company and I think [hope] it was a hit. Obviously, with my ever-lasting crush on Edward Furlong and of course Angel, and the Crow franchise, it's really really really really really easy to like. Love, actually. With all my heart. But I still say all the Crows are way hot. Except for The Crow 2: City Of Angels, I refuse to watch that based on a bad trading card experience from Kitchen Sink)

~Hocus Pocus (We watched this also with company and it was really funny. I also determined that the people who made the movie had to "funny up" the witches with overexaggerated features and makeup BECAUSE: without the "funny", Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker would all be fucking terrifyingly scary witches!!!!! AHhhh!!!!!!)

~Idle Hands (Okay so we watch this movie a lot year round but it is especially fitting during this holiday season. With it's acting that ranges from decent (Sawa) to fucking awful (Alba) and funny (and, in a really 90s way, realistic) gore/effects... A winner! I bought this VHS in NJ by the way at the Video MD )

~Freaks & Geeks, "Tricks And Treats" (Of course!!!!)

~The Office "Halloween" (Season 2 episode, I think there is another Halloween episode but it's on a disc that Margaret from next door commandeered and then apparently moved out with ? Actually maybe there's only one...)

~Tales From The Crypt "Forever Ambergris" (Epsiode from '93 I think, starring Steve Buscemi, this epsidoe is pretty weird and funny, classic Crypt pretty much!)

~Also started but didn't finish Young Frankenstein and Ninth Gate, and I think plan on finishing them at some point!!!

So I seem to recall there being one more movie but now I can't really remember what it was! !!!!! So, anyway that's my list so far, I know it's really short but I've been really busy and working every stupid day (Except one day I felt majorly ill and didn't go and subsequently slept through/forgot about my class later that night) Anyway we have a LOT more movies to watch, we seriously need to get cracking!!!!!!!!!!

I think some pics are in order????? YA??!@!!!!!!

So, in Tucson I know this is like a mortal sin but... well, I don't care. It really doesn't use that much water. Like, for realsyzys!!! Natures Toungue, Here I Come!!!!!! Watch It Transform!!!

From This:

To THIS!!!!

Okay okay, so it's a little patchy... I was pretty lazy with the top dressing this year!!!! But, I'll get some sand sometime and make it better. It's still growing in, by the way!!!!

I think I never put a bunch of pictures !!! Shit!!!! I have a lot. (Unfortunately Blogger is still acting as stupid as it was 2 weeks ago or whenever I last posted... I do NOT like this new pic uploading thing...)

DAY ONE:

So, I picked em all... :

With some Hibi-cibbies, yum yum!

THE NEXT DAY:

THEY'REEEE BBBAAACCCCCCKKK!!!!

Wait, do you guys remember this guy ? (Actually probably a lady):

Total bruiser, huh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well I couldn't find him/her yesterday or today. So, that's pretty sad. But I'm hopefully perhaps she laid her eggs or whatever. I have no idea what kind of spider this is, I haven't tried to Google it, but she looks way preggers. Mels and Mando have encouraged me to do a "Creepy Spider Calender" because of the strangely high detailed pictures my cell phone takes of spiders! Here's another one!!! You should totally zoom in on it if you can:

Well, here's some more creature photos for you!!

Prettty Laddy:

I have no idea if my pampering made it do this, but a girl can dream!!!

Oh No Wait!!!!! Here's another pic of the spider!!!!

Okay and here's some totally 100% mandatory sky shots, cuz I really love it!!!!

RED DAWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

This picture is a little bland and looks way 80s in color but I FUCKING LOVE THIS CLOUD!!!!!!! I WANT TO GET ON THIS CLOUD SO FREAKING BAD!!!!!!!!!!!

That HUGE cloud up there is totally Smog's Cloud. Yes. Very much so. AHH!!!!! Staring at it makes me want to jump around in it, Mario 64 style! I love it.

Okay and of course these lovable creatures!!!!!!!!!

This ones for my girl Krank, it is a French Fry Vegan Nugs Bagel Bites French Fry combo. Ever since she commented about it here, I try to take a picture of it !!!! Especially this Vegetarian Delight:

YES PLUS TOM THE CAT!!!! HE IS HUGE!!!! NO LONGER A KITTEN!!!!

And this cute girl:

 

She just loves to Snuggle ! Ahh!!!! 

Here's me:

NICE EATING SHOT!!!! JEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ !!!!!!!!!!!

Here's another great shot:

And a really funny CD we found in Da Booth:

And ummmm.... anything else??? This was the preliminary stack complied in like ten seconds so don't think this is all the movies!!!!!!!! There are several crucial ones we need to get as well as some that we have gotten... Anyway, if you have any suggestions, Let 'Er Rip!!!!!

Okay then!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There ya go!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry I haven't been around. Believe me, I'm still reading all of your blogs on my super awesome internet phone that allows me the freedom of ducking down in a bush to check Google Reader to get any kind of communique from the Underground  Internet. Some of whom restore my faith in Le Peeps and some that enrage me (Acchhheeekkkk, Cali Retail Anyone??? Barf.) but anyway I really love everyone whose blog I read, and whether you know I read your blog or not I have no idea but I really love ya!!!! So, keep bloggin people!!!!!! And if you have somewhat abandoned your blog due to no time, boredom, better things to do or listless mopeyness, well, shame on you. SHAME ON ME TOO!!!!! (Writing this paragraph made me really want to redo my blog roll over there cuz there are so many good ones that I read that arn't on that list and sooooo many shitty ones that none of you should ever disgrace your good sense by visiting (style, ahem) Also this paragraph is for Miss Teenage Rampage.)

MY NEXT POST IS GOING TO BE MY 400TH POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shame on me for only having 400. Gosh, Smog. Well, it's like I always (okay, never) say: you can't bullshit a bullshitter.

Okay so right now I'm totally lagging on doing my Soggy Show. Last week I did the part one of the Girls To The Front review/musical inspiration and tonight I'm doing the second part. So, if you're into Riot Grrl history (Okay okay, herstory) then you should listen tonight!!!! Also of course any requests, send them my way. Totally love you guys. Update your blog please now thanks.

Love as always and looking forward to the 400th post!!!!

Love ya,

Smog

p.s. I realize now after writing this whole post and coaxing Blogger into putting all those pics up, that I really didn't take any pictures of the most awesome parts of October. Well, hopefully I will make somewhat of an effort to take some photos. But things have been really good. Execpt for work. [Which, sidenote: has been the shittiest thing ever lately. But that's successfully cancelled out at home. Which is a good thing.  Except that someone totally keyed Giselle's Acura and she's totally gonna kill me if she sees it so now instead of fixing it I just want to know who it was (actually don't care, I would totally settle for some random asswipe) and bash their car up and face in with a shovel and then make them face the Wrath of My Sister (who is way intense) ... Okay, enough. I just had this shovel with me for a while this week. See????]
