Nightmare 3D
Thursday evening I was lucky enough to attend a screening of The Nightmare Before Christmas 3D with some buddies of mine. It was a long drive to King of Prussia, but not too long. The movie was awesome awesome awesome. My only complaint is that it was too Viewmaster 3D and not enough "OMFG JACK SKELETON IS COMING RIGHT AT ME AHHHHH!!!!" 3D. Plus I'm pretty sure the screening before ours got better freebies. All we managed to snag was some chapstick, cookies, Peanut Chews, and energy drinks that tasted like sour Pop Rocks.
The drive home was interesting because I went with an old friend from school with an affection for the paranormal. She kept pointing out spots and exclaiming things like, "Right up here is where people get in terrible car wrecks because ghosts are often seen in the middle of the road." It tends to be an interesting topic of discussion because we're on polar opposites of the religious spectrum.
I had to get up early today due to my recent job hunting. I rather like my current job, the problem is I make a completely unacceptable wage for an Administrative Assistant. I made it clear to my bosses that considering I came up with a plan that, in essence, saves the company over $10k a year I didn't feel that a raise was an unreasonable request. Unfortunately, they didn't see things my way. Though the Director commended me for being so honest and confident, which is nice. Usually people try to cut out a few syllables from "honest and confident" and just say "bitch" instead.
My plans for the weekend include going out to the VF Outlets and spending lots of money I don't really have. Hats.com outlet here I come! The outlets aren't nearly as great as how I hear they were in their early years. From what I gather you used to be able to get garbage bags full of cookie seconds for $5. Now it seems to be more liquidation than anything. As long as I can still get my cheap vampire smut novels, I think I'll be okay.
One last thing... I was getting my mail today, which consisted entirely of envelopes and NO PACKAGES, there was a fairly unmarked letter for me. I wrote McDonald's a while ago to bitch and moan that some douche didn't put my chicken selects in a container with Monopoly pieces on it. Today.... sweet reward...
So far I'm up to $15 Best Buy bucks, 2 small drinks, a breakfast sandwich, 3 McFlurries, 75 digital photo prints, 2 cel phone games, 3 ringtones, and a whole bunch of useless fucking stickers.

That haunted King of Prussia road is not only crap,it's also a different road every time depending on who's telling the story.
I do have to say though,one time we were driving back from King of Prussia on Halloween,and there were these blinking "slow down for traffic lights" signs,which were blinking in time with the music on the car stereo (My
Life With The Thrill Kill Kult,and I swear we kept driving straight,yet ended up right back where we were,as if driving in a circle. I swear.
