Responding to a couple of posts from yesterday:

Rodzinski of COURSE, I remember Coffee Crisp! I still have some in my freezer.

Thanks, Jrand, for the "Nice photos" comment.

I just lost 15-20 minutes to a computer glitch. I am not amused. Dammit.

I slept rather well. Lots of dreams but none I now remember.

Last night I was in no mood for a horror film so I searched Amazon Prime for Alice in Wonderland and The Wind in the Willows.

There were more versions of Wonderland available than I had anticipated, and I ended up watching a 1986 BBC miniseries which had everything going for it except a young girl to play the leading lady. Instead of a young girl - Alice Liddell was 12 or 13 when Alice in Wonderland was ublished in 1865 - the BBC cast a 23 year-old (! ! !) Kate Dorning who never once looks like a 12 year-old. She looked like a 20 yeaqr-old lady pretending to be a little girl. I hated her. The rest of the cast and design were excellent.

Last night I did the TCM thing again to see Halloween through the rest of the way.

I caught the second half of Who Killed Teddy Bear?, the first half of Night of the Living Dead, and the middle half of Carnival of Souls, catching bits of sleep through the other portions of those. Finally, there was no way I was up for tackling any of House (Hausu) in the wee hours, and I turned it off and slept soundly.

A disjointed movie watching night, but oddly enjoyable due to the particular mix of films that are a kind of comfort food when it comes to this genre.

An interesting observation - about artists being able to get their own work out into the world - made by attorney Richard Samson (who worked for the New York Times when he said this in 2017):

"Q: How have you seen the media and entertainment industry change over the course of your career?

A: The entertainment industry has changed in so many ways in the last ten, twenty years. It has gotten so much easier in so many ways to break into the entertainment industry as an artist. There used to be this whole mechanism, this structure that stood between the artist and the audience. Now, because of the Internet, everyone can immediately self-publish all of their work to the public.

I think that is the biggest change. If you are a talented person you can get your work seen by masses of people through social media or through the Internet in ways that just did not exist at all twenty years ago. Now, it is so much easier to create something and to get it either through Amazon, through YouTube, through all of these channels where there is no barrier to entry. ... "

We've (meaning I) have decided to downsize Halloween at home. It was so slow last night. We'll concentrate on the church function instead. I'll still put out candy, but I'll probably just put out a big bowl and leave it at that.

My DH was having trouble getting the shade frame with orange lights folded back up. Do you think he destroyed it on purpose?

Laura · « **Reply #20 on:** November 01, 2025, 07:35:28 AM »

It's ok. We used it to attract attention.

Laura · « **Reply #21 on:** November 01, 2025, 07:35:55 AM »

I'm just kinda sad to see the fun traditions disappearing.

Last night, the family who now lives in my childhood home came by. On purpose. I've met the parents while out walking. But I hadn't met the kids. They are so sweet. I'm glad a family that loves that house owns it now.

Today ... two different veggie boxes. Tomorrow, a nice veggie casserole of some kind for the church potluck.

Have been out to breakfast, to the post office, and the grocery store. Feeling virtuous.

DR LAURA if I had had unlimited treats I probably would have kept the door open until 8 p.m. but I was running low...and I didn't want to take the chance of not having enough if a group came to the door.

Of course this year instead of leaving it to chance, I stood in the door in my monkey suit waving as people walked by.

Jrand75 · « **Reply #27 on:** November 01, 2025, 07:54:38 AM »

And still some folks walked on by.....so there!
