No, I haven’t forgotten I have a blog, I just chose to ignore it after posting a ton of crap every day for so long. Instead, I’ve been knitting a bit, actually pulled out the wheel and did some spinning, and finally got my paladin to 70. I should probably screen shot some of the moments like that, but I couldn’t be bothered, I’ll get some up later.

The husband and I had a quiet weekend alone and headed off to see Iron Man, I agree with most of the reviews I’ve read, go see it, it’s well worth it. Today is going to be tv catch up day for me as the game is down. I have all of the current Dr. Who episodes to watch through, and the final on Torchwood, which I’ve been avoiding watching because honestly I don’t want to deal with it. I cry during commercials for pete’s sake, I don’t need this today.

I’ve been tossing around the idea of getting in a big batch of roving and dying up some different lots and trying to sell some. The problem I have, is if they turn out well, I never want to part with them. I may give it a try, I may not, it will depend on how much of the current projects I can get finished.

Spooky Websites…

We got to meet up with the people from the Spook Show last night.  The husband is going to help get their website reorganized and running.  It’s a fun thing we do every month, and I know I go on about it sometimes, but it’s such a great way for getting kids to see some of the classic films in a fun, silly environment.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think the whole shock/torture/horror thing has gone a bit off.  I love being scared, but there’s a difference between scary and just grossed out and disgusted.  Granted, kids now see so much more than we did (hell I can’t believe I just said that)  We used to love Saturday horror movies on tv.  Where we grew up there was Dr. Shock and Dingbat, and every Saturday night at midnight you would get a double feature, usually one of the Hammer films and something else.

I think it’s why I am enjoying the new Dr. Who series so much right now.  It’s the whole fun to be scared without all the “have to see everything” mentality that is flooding the theaters now.  There are still some great films out there that fill the gap with ghosts and creatures that leave something to the imagination.  Perhaps that’s part of the problem.  We’ve gone so far with effects and such that there’s no reason for using imagination any more, we can see and do it all.
