#Holidays: Halloween Recovery

One of my favorite times of the year (if not THE favorite) is Halloween.  People dress up in costumes, kids knock on doors in the search of delicious treats, and I watch a few horror movies.

This year, "a few" movies was actually 13 of them, as I held a special event for my "The Corner of Terror" blog.  For this "Terrorpolooza 2012", I held a 24 hour horror movie tweet along.  From 1:00 am Halloween morning, to 1:00 am the next morning, I watched horror movies, and tweeted along to them.

It went quite well, in my opinion.  I had a decent variety of movies- some good... some not so much, and people joined in the fun by retweeting, favoriting, and commenting upon my tweets.

And I quite enjoyed it too.

The only problem with this Halloween was having to recover from the night before.  As soon as my tweet along was finished, I was worn out and ready for bed.  I don't remember dreaming- which is weird for me.  I closed my eyes, then opened them about 20 hours later.  And I still felt tired.

In fact, it took me almost two days to fully recover from all the stimulus that the 24 hours of horror movies gave my poor pumpkin filled head.

And to think... I plan on doing AGAIN next year...

The Giving of Thanks...

This weekend marks the celebration of Thanksgiving in Canada.  As with the American one, it is a time for giving thanks for a good harvest in the hopes that the next harvest will be as bountiful.

The Canadian Thanksgiving also happens to fall in the same month as a special event being held by "The Gratitude Diary" on Facebook, called, "The 30 Day Gratitude Challenge."  For the challenge, you're to post something you're grateful for on a daily basis.  Sort of a month long Thanksgiving.

In order to celebrate Thanksgiving, I've decided to post ten things that I'm grateful for.

In no particular order:

• I'm grateful for family;
• I'm grateful for my friends;
• I'm grateful for my health;
• I'm grateful for my education;
• I'm grateful for those that read my reviews on "The Corner of Terror";
• I'm grateful for my books;
• I'm grateful for my Life- the good and the bad times;
• I'm grateful for living in Canada;
• I'm grateful for the sunrises I get to see;
• I'm grateful for every breath I take.

I would love to hear some of the things you're grateful for, so feel free to list a couple in the comments section.

In other "news" I'm editing footage for my first vlog- to be posted in the designated box to the left this Friday.  I'll post a new one each Friday, and hopefully the quality of editing, etc will improve over time. LOL

Until my next entry, "May the Fates smile upon thee with Love and Happiness."
