Standing in front of Chainsaw Man movie poster

Chainsaw Man on the big screen tonight. First time in a while where I’m going to see a movie without knowing anything about the plot. But with a title like that, one doesn’t need to know anything else, right?

Ooooohhh!!!! Masque of the Red Death should have been on my list too.

10 Horror movies to get to know me:

1. Audition (1999)
2. Cabin in the Woods (2011)
3. Lair of the White Worm (1988)
4. The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971)
5. Deep Red (1975)
6. The Black Cat (1934)
7. House (1977)
8. The Vanishing (1988)
9. Peeping Tom (1960)
10. Scream (1996)

It was a blast! She’s always a lot of fun. Would definitely recommend to anyone who has a chance to go.

Work badge with company name hidden

In personal news, the small-ish company I worked for got acquired by a mega-corporation so things are changing. Just received a work badge which I haven’t needed for years. I still get to work from home… for now.

D’oh!! But you can put on her live album and dance along!

Selfie in front of August Hall

The sign says Sophie Ellis Bextor tonight, even though it didn’t show up on camera. I hate traveling up to the city on a work night but she’s worth it!

Awesome!!

Garbage night 2. Great way to start the weekend!

Garbage, night 1. I’ve been looking forward to this!

Last week I went there for the first time in ages and couldn’t believe that a burrito supreme was $6.79.

Watched Paddington 2 last night with my mom and she loved it. Then took a quick hike this morning. So I’m starting to become slightly less grumpy than I have been for the last couple of months because of work.

At the rally

The only thing I hate more than being at a protest rally is this B.S. we’re protesting against. At San Jose’s No Kings.

It’s a co-headline tour so they typically alternate nights. Last night the B’s played before Devo. But no matter the order the setlists usually stay the same so nobody feels short changed.

Yes, but only caught the last 2 minutes of Lucky Number and then Home due to work/traffic/early showtime.

B-52’s tonight!

Quote this with the first four Horror movies that come to your mind that are 10/10s for you. No cheating. Just the first four that pop into your head.

- Cabin in the Woods
- Audition
- Lair of the White Worm
- Dracula (1931)

Hope you feel better soon!

OMG yes! What’s the line? Have you ever heard a ghost ask for eggs for breakfast? Something like that. And the dismissive She’ll be all right 10 seconds later. That scene is completely bonkers.

That was high school viewing - no issue with that. lol

No, the one I saw was live action. And I think the kid died which was over the top and probably why I remember it. I couldn’t find it on the internet, but I gave up after one minute so maybe it’s there somewhere.

Old refrigerator that locks from the outside

Thinking back to a grade school PSA that convinced me that I would

1. Play hide and seek in a junkyard
2. Hide in an old fashioned refrigerator and
3. Suffocate to death

Never would I ever do any of these things yet I was terrified it was going to happen to me.

Morning hike before I have to spend the rest of my Sunday catching up on work.

Denholm Elliott in The House that dripped blood

Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Jon Pertwee! and Denholm Elliott in the same movie? I’m so there, terrible reviews be damned.

Kitty!

Always happy when I get to meet one of my neighbors.

Relax? Don’t do it! (When you want to go to it)

Thunderball by Ian Fleming

I’ve been reading the original James Bond novels in order (about one a year) and today I finished Thunderball which I didn’t enjoy as much as the others despite many enjoyable moments. But at least it had an amazing cover.

Today’s movie on the big screen was 1960’s The Apartment. I saw it once before about 20 years ago and didn’t love it because it’s billed as a comedy and it is not. But now the second time around I loved it.

No, it was all the TT hits and 2 songs from his latest solo album. It was pretty great because he doesn’t do many headlining solo shows, at least not in the US. Usually it’s an abridged festival lineup.

Tom Bailey

It’s been an all consuming work week but I escaped to see the Thompson Twins (Tom Bailey) last night and it was exactly what I needed.
