It's just something they made up to scare kids, like the Boogeyman, or Michael Jackson!

I wrote this entry yesterday, but I didn't get the chance to post it until now. It begins with a quiz result.

( Here's the result! )

Yesterday, part of the Schuylkill Expressway was closed due to an accident, and I had to take a long, slow detour. I guess it's kind of selfish to be annoyed by stuff like this when I'm lucky enough to avoid the accident itself. Still, it would be nice if the police would set up more efficient detours. At least this time I could just follow all the other cars. There have been other times when the cops just waved me (or someone else I was with) off the road, without giving any indication as to where to go.

After finally making it to bethje's house, the two of us watched Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh. It wasn't as good as the first one, but I liked the extra explanation for the Candyman story. They even revealed his real name, although I can't remember what it was. Incidentally, after the Monster-Mania Convention, I have trouble seeing Tony Todd without thinking of his complaints about the 2000 presidential election.

Today, after dropping Beth off at school, I went to Best Buy and purchased the new Camper Van Beethoven and Frank Black records. I haven't had a chance to listen to them yet, though. (It's times like these when I wish my car had a CD player.) I'll probably listen at some point tomorrow. I definitely want to hear the CVB album before the concert on Thursday, even though I already know quite a few of the songs form demo versions on the Internets. By the way, I had a coupon for Best Buy that expired yesterday, a day before these two albums came out. Isn't that always the way?

After buying the CDs, I went to Sbarro to get a slice of pizza and a soda, but I didn't have enough cash to pay for the drink. That was kind of embarrassing, but no big deal, since I was able to get something to drink at Wawa later. Then I went to work, and that pretty much brings us up to date.

Satan's done waitin'

I love it when I get spoof eBay messages sent to e-mail addresses that aren't connected to eBay accounts. Well, I don't actually LOVE it, but, you know, it's kind of amusing how pathetic they are.

So, last night, bethje, Dorothea, and I watched Hellraiser (the first one), which I had never seen before. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that great, either. I kind of thought that not much happened in it. True, there were demons and murders and instances of horrible torture, but, I don't know, it seemed a little slow-paced or something. I guess I might have seen it differently if I'd seen it back in the eighties, though. The puzzle box and Cenobites were pretty cool, but they seemed to be fairly easy to defeat. Incidentally, I don't think Pinhead was even given a name in the movie. The credits just identified him as "Lead Cenobite."

I'm planning on watching the debate tonight, as well as the parts of the last debate that I missed the first time. Expect some comments on that in the near future. (My prediction: Bush will come off as a narrow-minded, hypocritical idiot, and will repeat himself a lot. {g}) Also expect comments on the two albums I bought yesterday, and on tomorrow's Camper Van Beethoven concert.
