What Happened On Halloween
Understandably Halloween was going to be different this year, although not by much. I didn't care to dress up this year. We'd often go out to the movies on that night, but not always. But of course theaters are closed, and that's too big of a risk anyway. My mom and I got some goodies from the store earlier that week. Some ghost cupcakes and more candy, snickerdoodles. We were going to have this tri-tip for dinner, but it was too complicated to make, so we opted for spaghetti and meatballs instead. Bloody spaghetti. ;) We were talking about the movie The Others with Grammy the previous week, and decided to watch it for Halloween. We watched most of it. My mom stopped midway through to cook dinner. We wanted to start the movie early in case Grammy fell asleep. We almost finished the movie, but paused it to have dinner and then went back to the movie. I don't know how well Grammy enjoyed it by the end. She thought it was horrible what Nicole Kidman's character did. And she got confused and wanted us to explain things once the credits rolled. I guess we just can't show her any movies that are the slightest bit complicated anymore because she can't comprehend them. *shrugs* I also know we watched the movie with my dad before, but he didn't remember it at all. His memory hasn't been very good either.
After the movie we had cupcakes except for Grammy, who apparently thinks "all cupcakes are dry" just because she had a bad experience with a cupcake previously. She had candy instead. I also had exactly one piece of candy myself. Peanut M&Ms. The rest of the night we spent flipping through channels on the TV to see what was on. Barely watched five minutes of The Devil Wears Prada. My parents won't watch commercials for nothing. :P Then we put it on Them!. I had never seen that one before, but knew it was about giant ants. We only caught about the last twenty minutes of it though. I know I didn't see the rest of it first, but the ending seemed pretty anti-climatic. Then we were watching Clue. Grammy seemed to be more into that movie, but it was getting late and there were tons of commercials, so we'd promise that we'd watch that movie with Grammy again later, seeing as we own the DVD. So, she went home. It was kind of a weird Halloween, but could have been worse. No one attempted to come to the door at least, but we did have the outside light off. When I went back to my room, I was so sleepy, I was really struggling to keep my eyes open.
