This is another thing we did for the "Scream Campaign." It's only a :05-second long piece of video, so it shouldn't take too long to download, or hog up too much room on your desktops.

Just wrapping things up here at work today before my and G's long weekend - yay! We're taking Halloween day off together...it's our "New Year," - Samhain - so we take it off every year. I can't wait to read our tarot cards and see what's in store for the coming year. We also have some newly deceased loved ones - Al and Minnie - to remember and celebrate, along with those that we've celebrated in years past. It's weird...the other day, Al came to my mind really vividly, and last night, G had a dream about him. I think he's still sort of hanging out with us. I miss that cat so so so so very much, it still hurts like hell. I miss Minnie too...but Al is always the one whose face vividly haunts my dreams and my memories. Maybe it's because his death blind-sided us so badly...whereas Minnie's was so evident. She had been deteriorating for months before she died, but Al really hadn't. We weren't ready for him to go. With Minnie, we were ready, and we feel so lucky that we were...

Anyway, this weekend is mostly gonna be G and me time. Very low-key this year, which is good because every year for many years, we've had parties...I'm kinda just wanting to RELAX this year. We are having G's sister and mom over on one of the nights to have some Halloween-themed food and watch a fun movie together, but that'll be very laid back too. I'll probably bring out Practical Magic for them. I don't think they've ever seen it, and I love watching it every year. It's one of those Halloween movies that moms and sisters would enjoy, so...we'll keep it "safe" for them, then bring out the depraved horror movies for later on that evening, once they leave.

The Tivo is quite busy recording all sorts of Hallow-TV for us! We'll have stuff to watch well after Halloween, which is good, because I always get a little sad when Halloween is over. This will help "bring us down" gently.

I can't wait to show you all my costume this year. One of the "parts" arrived in the mail yesterday...should be fun.

So what do you all have planned for Halloween this year?
