while moving Halloween items from a bin to another bin,I noticed items were looking unique just the way they were temporarily sitting

We drove down to Orlando for Universal's Halloween horror nights in their Islands of Adventure,very cool and very dark.I had bought EXPRESS PASSs early on and they were worth it,every ride had people in lines for +50 minutes,it took us less than a minute to walk up and enter the attractions,lol,I felt bad but I did plan early for this.I did like the theme this year,directer's cut,his "drive in" attraction was going through a huge riped movie screeen that dispayed various horror flicks scenes and on the outher side you went through Michael myers Halloweens settings,the kitchen,the yard,bedrooms etc,then it changed to Friday the 13th's jason setting,with various jasons in scenes from fri13th,all true to some of the movies,then father on you were in boiler rooms and the like of Freddy and nightmare on elm.st.The last part of that ride was Leather face and scenes from chainsaw mass.Talling up the abuse:
attacked by 13 Michaels myers-attacked by 7 Jasons-clawed by 5 Freddys,and bludgeoned/hacked by 8 leatherfaces.
most rides were rushed through by scared people pushing from behind,I felt a little slower and I could have appreciated some of the other rides.I didnt care who was scared, I took my time at the drive in and Scream house
I saw one of my favorite books come to life,it was the Suess's LORAX,talk about impressive,he was just standing right infront of a replica of the house that the gloomy UNEEDA guy told the tale of mass destruction,gloom,doom,and despair.One of my absoulute favorite books from when I was 7.dr.Suess:the day of the Lorax I think the gloomy clouds of my Tattoo were unconciously inspired from it.
we did everything the park had to offer! I was very impressed with the spiderman ride,very realistic effects.
We did Halloween in a blocked off streets bar district of ORLANDO,very impressive and big-big-big.Now CATS'S costume was so cool and spooky,she had aleast 60-80 people insist on getting their picture taken with her-we could have made money if we'd charged them,heh,heh.here are some I took
this was the first year I didn't feel like going all out on a costume,I needed a break this year,heh.Medusa was impressive enough :) alot of people though we were locals,even locals,lol.
Halloween (pre&post halloween)was backed with
and I like it alot,too bad I missed them friday night but it just wasn't going to happen.
Tuesday my brother and I left work,to go home for lunch to help my father and other brother bury Reno,he was hit and run over after running when he slipped out of the leash,it was very sad.he was a horribly,horribly abused dog my parents rescued from an intervention my sisters friend made from their crazed step mother.He was given a wonderful loving home with my parents and had been there happy for about a year now.
It was hard,I've never experienced a burial before.
I went into Borders cafe , I walked away with -these are the finds I am most pleased with and cheerish highly:
it even has a video on it!!! :)
made a new icon....here's a better look at it
Taking down a few things,one Ill leave up is the owl ('Tober look alike ) I got the owl during the summer and was going to paint it black and brown,but
its freaky the way it is,it looks like 'tober and its startling out of the corner of the eye,you'd have to experence it to understand why I'm leaving it the way it is,maybe coloring the eye,maybe,heh,heh.
I took down the best garland I've ever seen,its kittens trick or treating,well I'll put it some where safe to use again.
