Have I ever told you I LOVE Halloween?

Like... I super love Halloween.

I've always wanted to put together a compilation of Silent Films to Modern Music. Here... is that result. 

How to survive a Haunted House...

Plug your ears! Close your eyes! 

(It makes everything less scary).


I went to "Castle of Chaos" this weekend with my cousin and her husband...
 ...the above picture is how I looked the entire time.

Sad - It's Happy for Deep People.

One of my most favoritest things IN THE WORLD is sad/depressing breakup songs.

I don't know why - they've always appealed to me. They make me happy - in an sadistic way. 

However, it's been a long time since I've made my own mix of morose music.  I'm glad to announce I have a new awesome song to add to my super sad song list -  Adele's "Someone Like You" 

(Not "Rolling in the Deep"... ew).

Let me invite you to travel back  in time to the days of angst ridden Courtney (2004-2007)  A girl who would ruminate about how bleak life was! How shallow people were!  and how deep i was for knowing how bleak life was and how shallow people were! Those were the daaaaaaays!! 

Enjoy.

Oh, and there was more. MUCH more. 

An Ode to All Hallows Eve...

Rainbow Trout

Bob and I went fishing today.
It was my first time fishing - ever.
He caught a rainbow trout.
It wasn't as glorious as the picture above...
but it was pretty close.

OCTOBER!!!

What's He Building In There?

What The Hell Is He Building In There?

He Has Subscriptions To Those Magazines...

 He Never Waves When He Goes By 

He's Hiding Something From The Rest Of Us... 

He's All To Himself... 

I Think I Know Why... 

He Took Down The Tire Swing From The Peppertree 

He Has No Children Of His Own You See... 

He Has No Dog

 And He Has No Friends 

And His Lawn Is Dying... 

And What About All Those Packages He Sends. 

What's He Building In There? 

With That Hook Light On The Stairs. 

What's He Building In There... 

I'll Tell You One Thing 

He's Not Building A Playhouse 

For The Children 

What's He Building In There?

Now What's That Sound From Under The Door?

He's Pounding Nails Into A Hardwood Floor... 

And I Swear To God I Heard Someone Moaning Low... 

And I Keep Seeing The Blue Light Of AT.V. Show...

He Has A Router And A Table Saw... 

And You Won't Believe What Mr. Sticha Saw

There's Poison Underneath The Sink Of Course... 

But There's Also Enough Formaldehyde To Choke A Horse... 

What's He Building In There?

What The Hell Is He Building In There? 

I Heard He Has An Ex-Wife In Some Place Called Mayors Income, Tennessee 

And He Used To Have A Consulting Business In Indonesia...

But What Is He Building In There?

What The Hell Is Building In There?

He Has No Friends But He Gets A Lot Of Mail.

I'll Bet He Spent A Little Time In Jail...

I Heard He Was Up On The Roof Last Night Signaling With A Flashlight 

And What's That Tune He's Always Whistling...

What's He Building In There?

What's He Building In There?We Have A Right To Know...

I love October. I love Halloween. I Tom Waits.
