Here is a list of stuff I’ve done/seen/experienced recently, along with ratings:
- Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride
- Rating: Cute, better than I expected. No necrophilia overtones, thankfully.
- Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
- Rating: Excellent! Go watch it right now!
- Carving Homestar Runner Jack-o-lanterns with David
- Rating: Fun, fun, fun! David is better at it than I am.
- Hearing David shout, “the good times are over!” in his best H*R voice when I did something that upset him during the carving of the H*R punkins
- Rating: Hilarious! I love David.
- Praline Pumpkin Pie (with brown sugar, butter and pecans on top)
- Rating: Yummy. I’ve never made it this way before, but it’s good! I wouldn’t want to totally give up on “plain” pumpkin pie, though.
- Getting an evening phone call from Joan Miller requesting, “Drop everything and go to a haunted house with us!”
- Rating: Good. I like spontaneity!
- “Haunted Hotel” at intersection of Stagecoach Road and Colonel Glenn in Little Rock
- Rating: Not really scary. Still, it was fun. I’m not sure it was worth waiting in line in the cold for over an hour to get in. But I got to talk with Joan during the wait, so that makes up for it.
- Finding out that my car has been towed, because I left it in an E-Z Mart parking lot while I rode with Joan and the others to the haunted house
- Rating: Not recommended.
- Missing church because the only Sunday hours at the towing company (aka “the extortionists”) clash with worship hours
- Rating: Annoying.
- Paying $187.25 to the towing company (aka “robbers and thieves”) to get the car back
- Rating: Rather more than annoying.
- Being free from the annoying project that I had been assigned to at work
- Rating: Hooray!
- Discovering that I will have to travel (and work over the weekend, not coming home) for an unknown length of time for the new annoying project at work
- Rating: Boo! However, the travel will be to Chicago. I’ve never been there. So that’s something, I guess.
OK, so they’re not really “ratings” (like 1st, 2nd, 3rd; or good, better, best). Get over it.
