A cozy living room decorated for the holidays, but with a spooky twist. In the foreground, a rocking horse has been transformed into a full skeleton figure with a grinning skull and bony ribs. On the mantel above the fireplace hang Halloween-themed stockings in black and purple, decorated with a jack-o’-lantern and crescent moon designs. A Christmas tree twinkles in the background, blending festive gold ornaments and lights with the eerie Halloween touches.

I love horror movies. I mean, not every horror movie. Some of them are just… well, horrible. Yes, that pun was intended. No, I’m not even a little bit sorry. Because we’re about to enter the land that many choose to actively avoid—the land of horror movies. Not gonna lie: as I typed that last … Continue reading the horrors…

Creature Report Entry 001: Please Be Weird in a Way I Can Love

I didn’t mean to become a person who collects weird little goblin toys. I’ve long hated Elf on the Shelf and its smug surveillance vibes. I’m more of a Skelly person—a full-sized plastic skeleton who lives in our house year-round. You can’t lose something that big. Though, to be fair, bones do keep falling off. … Continue reading Creature Report Entry 001: Please Be Weird in a Way I Can Love

When I was 11 I saw Little Nikita (starring Sidney Poitier, River Phoenix, and Richard Jenkins) and I really liked it. I was enthralled. If I’d had access to it to watch it over and over again I would have. It’s been a significantly long time since I’ve seen it. I know watching it today … Continue reading little nikita…

For Fathers Day today we decided, as a family, to go see Night At The Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian. If I were a movie critic I would tell you what I thought of the movie -that it was a fun romp through a world that my family enjoyed visiting in the past and … Continue reading thank goodness CamiKaos isn’t a movie critic…

I don't get to go to the movies nearly as often as I'd like. It's a form of escapism I love to indulge in but time is not necessarily on my side with this activity. But Star Trek... there was a new Star Trek movie and I needed to see it. And even though it … Continue reading CamiKaos goes to the movies…

In just over an hour the lovely man and I will be heading down the street to our local theater. It's our favorite place for movie viewing (not counting out basement). There we will go where no man has gone before... except all those guys that got to see it before us... that's right! We're … Continue reading this is NOT a test!

There are a few things to discuss today class. Key among them being that Easter was yesterday. What's that? How was my Easter? Very secular, thanks for asking. K woke us up bright & early at 6:30 in the morning wanted to see what the Easter Bunny had left for her. I, being a little … Continue reading because maybe I’m getting a little stodgy
