Did my annual Halloween viewing of ‘The Haunting’ (the Robert Wise directed one, not the crummy remake). It’s the only ‘scary’ movie I find really scary.

It’s a gothic ghost story - an excellent one you really should not miss.

There are definitely better chocolate covered caramel things than Milk Duds. That’s why…

Theres not realy any trick or treating like going from house to house like we do in Stoneybrook. But they did have it at a few places we went like stores and things here. Im about to take a nap. EB is taking care of Mimi Puff becase Im still getting over my cold! Ill come back later and talk more!

That reminds me, I’ve got The Innocents, Onibaba, and the whole run of Val Lewton movies sitting on my DVR waiting to be watched (may the cinema gods bless you, Turner Classic Movies). Milk Duds are for kids who don’t know any better.

Yes they do of course! Haha! They totally love her! My older little cousin is big enough to hold her for a bit but my yougner little cousin isnt. Shes not happy about that. It isnt fare! Haha! I dont think Mimi Puff makes different sounds yet. Well kind of. I mean the crying you can tell if its shes uncomfertable or…

There is so much Halloween candy rihgt now! Weve been trying so much of it. It started showing up I think at the end of August. And when I say we you know I mean mostly ME! Haha! We tried to enjoy as much as we coud that last month as just EB and me. Oh the candy! Haha! Im getting off topic but its hard not to talk…

Your going to leave a perfectly good mystery unsolved? Oh my lord! I woud want to know everything even if it was boreing but anyway it was interesting to know what you found. I want to know if you find anything else! It is like ghosts speaking. Like sometimes I find old notes Mimi wrote like when she was practising…

I mean Stace and I woud be biking to my moms library or to the Stoneybrook Historacal Sociaty like that very afternoon! Did you take pictures and all? You shoud make a record of it! What else mihgt you…

Binky! It was the most undiscribable feeling. Like I know sometimes you dont feel like a mom or something for a while like my cousin told me for the longest time she didnt feel momlike or whatever? Well I did. I totaly melted. She was so tiny and fragle. EB is actualy super scared of her! Haha! He does a lot tho. And…

I was so excited to find this was still here I totaly blanked on telling you the most important thing. Cocoa Puff is a girl! We have a little girl and she is so tiny and her hair is black and also her name is actually Mimi! We named her after two of her grandmoms. Her middle name is his grandmom. Well obvously ONE of…

Its a realy long storey but everythign is great. I mean its…

Now Binky, don’t be greedy, let’s pass it along and make sure everyone gets a piece.

So many movies that try to capture the dream world are experimental, and made on the cheap. Their effects are often transparent and that just makes them creepier. Very few can make real dreamlike emotions out of color - Lynch, and Powell and Pressburger come to mind.

My mulberries are in full fruit right now, but there have been occasions where I’ve seen some just about ripe and suddenly they’re gone. The main suspects are hungry birds and hungry neighbours.
