I cannot wait for Fall. Soon, August will be ebbing away and school is starting. In between loads of laundry and bouts of anxiety related to having everything ready for school, these things make me think of all the things I am looking forward to about Fall. Sweaters. Making my Grandmother's soup beans and cornbread. Making popcorn balls and pumpkin stuff. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin bread; I love all that pumpkin-y, spicy, cinnamon-y stuff. I also love that one blessed morning, when you wake up to a subtle change in the air that you can smell and feel, that signals that Autumn is, indeed, coming. Also, last but definitely not least, Halloween.(You can bet I'll be posting more about that later!) And since I loooove the Horror genre, here are some other things I am looking forward to:
The original '80's Fright Night was one of my favorites as a kid, so I cannot wait to see this one. Also, Colin Farrell and David Tennant? Yes, please. It opens Friday, August 19th. And then there's this:
Guillarmo Del Toro had a hand in writing the screenplay and he is such a good storyteller i.e., The Orphanage and Pan's Labyrinth, so I really want to see this, as I love jumping out of my seat over scary movies! It opens August 26th.
The next thing I'm looking forward to is The Sookie Stackhouse Companion by Charlaine Harris. I'll take any Sookie I can get until Book 12! This comes out on August 30th and I have already pre-ordered it! Hooray!
This one, we have to wait until October for, but it will so be worth it!
As you can see, I've learned the hell out of linking and embedding videos! So, now that you have been Youtubed and linked to death, I will leave you with just one more link and one more video. This is gonna be my jam on the treadmill today, as I start Week 4, Day 1 of The Couch-to-5K ® Running Plan.
I've had this song in my head all day. So, between that and my Pandora '80's radio station, I think it'll be a good run.
Since it is absolutely sweltering outside, all of these things will just have to hold me over until Fall is truly here. Maybe I'll just have to get a pumpkin spice candle and sniff it intermittently until then.
I am in the same boat..EXCITED about fall coming soon..but at the same time I'm a little perplexed about this year flying by so fast. I had SO.MUCH I wanted to do and it seems like not enough time ...at all.

Hello. We love the same things. Why do we not live closer to each other so we can watch/read/squee together whilst imbibing many cocktails?
ReplyDeleteLove the scary movies. You bet I will probably be lining up to go watch them once they come out. And Halloween....don't even get me started. It's my favorite holiday.
ReplyDeleteRita, there is never enough time!
ReplyDeleteNanea, I know! Stupid geography! Someday.
I'm not a shopper by any stretch, but I love love love the post-Halloween sales! <3
ReplyDeleteI ordinarily won't watch remakes of horror movies that I thought were done right the first time, but I'm making an exception for Fright Night! ;)
