Peak Color October 28, 2009

fallWell ladies and germs the state has finally caught up with me, and is ready to indulge me in one of my favorite times of the year – peak fall leaf color. I love either being outside, or looking out the window and seeing the world ablaze in vivid, rich, warm colors – red, orange, yellow, scarlet, salmon, gold, crimson, apricot, amber, and saffron…

I’m starting to get into the Halloween mood. I’ve been listening to audiobooks with short stories including abbreviated versions of Dracula, and Dr. Jeckell and Mr. Hyde, as well as urban legends and ghost stories. While I’m sitting at my desk and using my computer at work I’ve been listening to the AOL radio station for Halloween music. If you want a nice variety of Halloween music, you should check it out. I’ve heard short stories, old Disney songs, various horror film theme songs and some rock and alternative rock songs by the likes of Siouxsie and the Banshees, Rob Zombie, the Doors, etc.

I haven’t made it to a haunted house yet this year, and it doesn’t look like I will. I’m a little bummed about it, but it’s been rainy and/or windy and/or colder than a witch’s tit every Friday in October, which discourages standing outside in line for a Halloween thrill.

On the other hand, I do have Kevini’s party to look forward to on Saturday night…
