YAAAAY!!! October!!!!

Yay!!! It is October, my favorite month of the year! It is the month of horror, candy, and costumes; three of my favorite things! It is also the month of Halloween, which is my favorite day of the whole year! In celebration of Halloween, all month my blog posts will be Halloween/ horror-themed. All of my Spotlights, my characters and songs of the week, all of my lists, and even the books that I'm reading will be for Halloween! I will also be starting my Horror-A-Day like I did last year, which is where every day for the month of October I will watch a horror film that I have never seen before. Last year I ended up only doing 30, but this year I'm going to do all 31. It is all leading up to the big day when I get to dress up in a costume again. Here are my last four Halloween costumes.

Princess Leia, Mad Hatter, Pink Power Ranger, Baby Doll

That is the worst picture of me ever in my Princess Leia costume, but that is the only one that I have. Anyways...yay for October!!! Everyone have a spooktacular month!!!

My eBay Addiction

Okay, so I got an eBay account a few years ago and have only bid on things every once in a while (mostly Eightball comics or movie/band posters). Now though, I think that I am developing a bit of a problem. I can not stop bidding on DVDs!!! They are so cheap and cost only 2-4 dollars including shipping!!! In the past few months there are only two DVDs that I have purchased that I didn't get on eBay (Hellboy II: The Golden Army and Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World) and thats just because one was really cheap at Target, and the other just came out. I have a 100% positive buyers rating and have purchased almost 20 DVDs in the past few months...thats more than I've gotten in the past few years altogether! Oh yeah, I definitely have a problem....I think I need to have an intervention because my movie problem is getting out of control. Here's a list of all the DVDs I have purchased from eBay since my problem began...

1. High Tension

2. The Descent

3. Alien

4. The Thing

5. L.A. Confidential

6. Pan's Labyrinth

7. Slither

8. Gilmore Girls: The Complete Series (a lot more expensive than the others, but still 1/3 of the normal price...)

9. The Orphanage

10. An American Werewolf in London

11. Army of Darkness

12. Dawn of the Dead (remake)

13. Conversations With Other Women

14. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original)

15. Somersault

16. Dawn of the Dead (original)

17. Peeping Tom

And there were tons more that I bid on but didn't win...I think I should abstain from DVD buying for a while...

Random Realization...



The Walking Dead

 I don't know why I'm posting about this, but I'm a huge dork and I was just really excited when I realized this... OK, so I've been watching The Walking Dead, which is an awesome show, and the lead actor is this really handsome guy named Andrew Lincoln. While I was watching the show it was really starting to bug me because I knew that I had seen his face somewhere before, but for the life of me I could not place him. I am usually really good at remember what other movies I've seen actors in, so this was really getting on my nerves. So, I eventually caved and just looked at his IMDB page, and I got really excited when I realized where I had seen him before. He played Mark in the movie Love Actually! For those of you who do not remember which one is Mark, he is the one who is secretly in love with Keira Knightley's character Juliet, even though she has just gotten married to his best friend, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor. He is in one of my favorite scenes in that movie, so I can't believe I didn't remember him! I'm talking about the scene where he goes to Juliet's house with a bunch of signs that tell her how he feels. That is such a cute scene!!! I am going to have to add that movie to my Netflix so I can watch it again...
