I still can't remember a movie from my childhood that ever gave me nightmares.
The Wizard of Oz is one of my all-time favorites and never did either. Flying monkeys, and all.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that, no matter what happened during the course of those movies, there was always a happy ending...?
Yep, my commute to and from the office today was a breeze. The more I think about it, I shoulda' just taken the whole 2 weeks off, like in years past. I had more than enough available vacation days. We'll probably leave early New Year's Eve, as per usual, and then I'm not back at the office 'til Monday.
The last part of my commute back home through the neighborhoods is so enjoyable this time of year. Since we don't normally leave the office 'til 6p, it's plenty dark and the lights are gorgeous. I'll sometimes meander down the side streets for a bit to get my fill.
speaking of vacations.. the interesting part of living in a touristic town is.. everyone comes to visit US on vacations.Many people are on vacation this week (I assume because it's also school vacation week for many children). This made commuting a dream today. Coming home tonight on the express bus, the highway portion only took 14 minutes, versus 45 on a regular weekday.
One thing I enjoy when I take the bus, is the ride through the suburban streets at night and seeing all the Christmas lights up on the houses. I particularly enjoy the houses with hideous light displays that look like a drunken person strung them up!I'll never understand how some of these people could think that their house looks gorgeous, with about 8 different kinds of lights thrown haphazardly from the roof to the ground, with no design pattern at all.
checks are still critical for high number of money moved easily.
I wonder if people trained the monkeys to steal stuff, money, and car parts in exchange of food and treats.
"Naw, man! I saw it first!"
hang on a second.. the sun sets at 4:28 in your area??? D:
I think I have heard that some are trained.

Prize to the winner? None. But, it's my own little "game" I play every year! )

I love the lights, too. Mixed in with some of the hideous light displays, are some really gorgeous ones. By gorgeous, those ones run the gamut from big, professionally done displays, to very small, but tasteful, light displays. I love them all. In the back of my mind, I always have this "contest" for the best decorated house in the area! (Fame to the winner? None.
