Pumpkin Month and So Forth

Oh, it's been far too long since I posted for real, and now I've forgotten what I was going to say. Here's a summary through various mediums:

Pumpkin Month foods so far:

• Low-fat Pumpkin Sundae
• Dr. Dean's pumpkin bars
• Pumpkin pecan ice cream from Brewster's
• Jill's pumpkin chocolate chip cookies
• This pumpkin roll
  

Highlights from Jill's birthday party:

Jill's reaction to our amazing gift, Heat Wave by Richard Castle. Yes, it's a fake book. That they really wrote.

D'CALC!

Steve's amazing t-shirt, "I Attended Brecklyn and Jill's Birthday Bash 2009."

The birthday girls.

Sarah was Buffy! Best costume ever.

Movies we've watched for scary movie month (needs to be stepped up a little):

• Night of the Hunter
• The Others
• Marnie
• Stage Fright

Things we still plan to watch (i.e. we've checked them out from the library or have them on hold):

• Rebecca
• The Innocents
• The Haunting
• The Nightmare Before Christmas
• Notorious
• Signs
• Psycho

So yeah. Also, we went to the 70th anniversary screening of The Wizard of Oz, which was delightful, and tonight I saw Where the Wild Things Are, which I adored.

I don't think I mentioned our amazing trip to Indy a couple of weeks ago either. We went up to this play called Dark Pages, which was pretty amazing. It involved Edgar Allan Poe, Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle, Queen Victoria, Lizzy Borden and other various crazies, and we went about the house in search of Jack the Ripper. My favorite part was when Edgar Allan pulled a heart out of a box and Sherlock's deduction was, "Well, let's move along. This man is clearly deranged, but he is not the Ripper." How did he come to that conclusion? Because typically when I see people holding hearts, I don't really rule them out as serial killer suspects. But that's just me.
