a collection of reflections by people i have known

it’s halloween.

so spooky halloween to you! i point you to this discobelle post of fun halloween music. i am currently rocking out to the halloween mix*. loudly, as i am the only one in the office right now.

(* track 15 on this mix: The Bulgarian (ft. Spoek) – The Zombie Door (Vox version) turns out to be rather filthy. the chorus seems to be ‘jack it like a zombie’ repeated. just letting you know so you don’t, say, for instance, blast it in your place of work for everyone to hear.)

due to a miscommunication of sorts, half the team is working in san jose today, with two of us up here in the city. not a big deal, but annoying, as i had to buy a train ticket to get up here. goodbye 11 dollars it turns out i didn’t need to spend.

also, mike sent me a list from the av club of bad horror movie villians. shockingly, i have not seen most of these films. more shockingly, mike claims to have. and triply shocking — morty, from ‘the fear’, jack frost (the evil snowman) from ‘jack frost’, or the gingerbread man from ‘the gingerdead man’ are not represented. i might have to call sheningans on the article now.

also, i need to tell you the taglines for ‘jack frost’: “He’s chillin…and killin”
and for ‘the gingerdead man’: “Out of the oven… and into your heart!”
wow.

and i am in a funk. for a multitude of reasons.

but this morning, walking into the office, i passed an older, bald man with horns attached. i, myself, am wearing my old devil ‘headband’ which is an easy, lazy, pretend costume. but it was great fun to pass someone else in the street who had dressed up the same way. we said hello to each other and it made me smile a lot.

that made the trip up here worthwhile, i would say.

in other news, robert goulet died. this is not huge news and, sadly, i remember him most for his excellent emerald nuts ad last superbowl.

and if we want to really cheapen his memory, how about will ferrell impersonating him singing the thong song?
