The Biggest, Scariest Haunted House of Them All

Okay people.

It's October 1st. No more saying it's too early for Halloween stuff. ;)

IT IS TERROR MONTH!

For people who don't know, Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love it. I love everything about it. I love the history, I love the commercialization, I love the traditions, I love the food, I love the costumes, the haunted houses, the corn mazes, the pumpkining, and I love the fact that horror is everywhere.

And now that it is officially Terror Month, be prepared for horror themed fics, reviews, etc.

And... yeah, I need a Halloween icon. As adorable as Tenma-chan is, just doesn't cut it for Hallowwn. I could use last year's Renge icon, but that doesn't fit my layout. And much as I love Halloween, I am not changing my layout again. I like my L and Naomi layout.

Anyone wanna make me a pic of like.... L as a vampire or zombie or something? Or with a pumpkin. Misa in a witch hat! Anything! SOMETHING HALLOWEEN THEMED!

I've got over 2,000 words on my all_hallows_fic project. It's actually going good now, even though I realized I didn't think it through far enough. Because, uh, how exactly do two normal human detectives beat a Lovecraftian horror from beyond the stars? Yeah. Though discussing it in chat led to visions of Light standing there, Death Note in hand, facing down a terror from the deep and going 'Uh...guys....? How do you spell 'Hziulquoigmnzhah'?!?!?'

Still waiting for my assignment from obscurefandom.

And... I need to clean and do laundry. As I was woken up at 8 AM and reminded that I'm leaving in a few days and the bathroom needs cleaning. Mmm, subtle hint.

TV Night

I actually spent a couple hours completely off the computer tonight.

I watched Heroes (zomg Hiro! Love Hiro! And totally felt like I was watching the X-Files there for a minute...) and then decided to give that new show Journeyman a try. I figure I liked Quantum Leap, it seems to be the same premise. Guys jumps through time, trying to fix things/make sure the right things happen. I'm glad I gave it a try, I liked it. I think I'm going to keep watching it. There's enough mystery to keep me hooked, relatively likeable characters, and a little humor. Plus the angst isn't heavy handed.

It just felt like a veg-on-the-couch-snacking sort of night, you know?

I never did clean the bathroom. I ought to do that now, while I'm thinking of it. I won't have time tomorrow or Wednesday, and Thursday I leave to go see chocomimi!

Also? New layout for October. I wasn't planning on changing my header - or if I did, I figured I'd just change it have orange coloring - but I needed the header to match the icon and...yeah. I have this obsession with things matching. Or matching for me, anyway.

Time to clean the bathroom!
