It's been quite a heavy couple of weeks, but I did put together our Halloween movie list for this month! I think there's some good variety and they're all movie I've never seen before.

Candyman (1992)
Young Frankenstein
Scream (1996)
The Craft
The Corpse Bride

So incredibly overwhelmed by life and work lately. Too many projects at work, too many afterschool activities for the kid, and a pup that needs surgery. A quiet day or two in my future would sound nice.

Pretty amazing TMNT humble bundle for those of you who want to make a deeper dive into the mythology. It comes with the first volume of the Jason Aaron run plus many omnibus volumes of the previous run, which is still canon, plus some great minis and other stuff. www.humblebundle.com/books/teenag...

My goal was to walk to the 3km marker, but I pushed myself to 4km!

I'm going to be feeling this for several days, I think.

I enjoyed the demo far more than I thought I would. Kind of excited to grab the game now!

Also, the app failed to tell me that Bus 1 was passing me in 5 minutes from either direction. Watched both pass by as I walked to my preferred stop.
