Yeah, Halloween. Actually, this has been the most uneventful Halloween ever. The highlight will be tonight, when we watch scary movies with some friends. That's it. No costumes or candy. Just chili, movies, alcohol, and cookies. Okay, that doesn't sound too bad.

I have a small collection of horror movies: Halloween (1st one), Friday the 13th (1st one), Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1st one), Nightmare on Elm Street (1st one), Psycho (original), Misery, The Shining, Hellraiser, and The Exorcist. I think that's it, for now. We have decided on Halloween (my favorite) and Nightmare on Elm Street (with Johnny Depp).

Right now I am procrastinating as usual. I have a website to finish by Tuesday. The website is entitled "High-Performance Building Technologies." Pretty interesting, huh? This project is for my SciTech Resources course. I have to give a presentation explaining the navigation of the site, my audience, etc. . . I will post a link as soon as it is finished.

Again, sorry for the delay between posts. I have been busy and under the weather.

This past weekend I flew down to Tuscaloosa to surprise my dad for his 50th birthday. He was definitely surprised. He was working midnights, so sleeping during the day. My sister-in-law, Stacy, picked me up from the Birmingham airport and dropped me off at my parent's with a key. I snuck in and took a nap. I heard him wake up, so I went into the kitchen. When he stepped into the hallway, I called to him quietly, "Dad?" I didn't want to scare him to death. I think he was confused, because he walked into the living room. He thought my voice was coming from the answering machine, so I called him again a little louder. He heard me and followed my voice. "What are you doing here?", he asked. SURPRISE!

So, we had a good time. Just hung out at home, visited my grandmother, watched the Alabama game ROLL TIDE, and went out to eat and drink with Keenan & Stacy. My mom wasn't around most of the time, so it was father-daughter bonding time. She volunteers every year at the Moundville Native American Festival. I did get to ride around in her new car, a Mazda 6 Sportswagon. NOT an SUV, thank goodness!

I flew into LGA late Monday night. I made it to work, but was completely miserable. It's either my allergies or a cold. I am leaning towards allergies. I skipped work yesterday to rest up and get some of my school work done, since I am behind.

Well, that's my life at the moment.
