Stats: it's a Saturday Dec 15th 2018 a few days from the Winter Solstice/Yule.
: we are 320 Days away from next Hallowe'en.
: the weather around the planet is very unpredictably unusual.
:being sober has given me massive writers block.
Okay, now with that out of the way, my lovely Spudguns!, how are you all? I don't even find me funny anymore. The kind of blog post that used to take me twenty minutes to write, now takes me two days. The kind of blog post that used to take me five hours to write, now takes me two weeks. The endless sea of gimmicks no longer jive. Never mind the fact I haven't written anything uncensored offline in over five years. I do think that might be part of it...having to censor myself for the blogs. Anyways.
Too much quiet reflection can make you sick of things. I know I sort of bitched and complained while back about not being able to really promote myself the way I see others doing it. And that still pretty much stands. I can't keep that smile plastered to my words in that can do attitude, because I am not hotwired that way...or is it wetwired...maybe its just that as a member of Generation X, we are all slackers. Yeah, let's go with that idea.
What an idea eh? A generation that spent it's whole time defining what made it -it. From movies like Singles, Reality Bites, and Slacker, to that whole grunge vs metal vs hip hop thing. And now, this current generation are semi-living it all live on the internet. Dude, just between you and me, I have no idea what they are calling this generation now? Millennials or Echo Boomers, or Gen Z or whathaveyou? Gen Z. Just makes me think of zombies. Gen-Zoms. Well, it fits doesn't it? My generation was all about Dracula, this generation is all about Walking Dead. Totally fits.
As I work through my lack of self respecting silent aggression; I hope everything is shinny where you are today.
kiss kiss noise.

And then there was the Monday
The Swords keep popping up in the tarots the last week and a half. Like the whole suit all the time, no matter how much I shuffle. The Swords are about rational thought, logical directions, separation, overthinking. The cards of the mind. I've talked before about how when the universe wants me to understand something, or even pass a message on to someone else, the cards will repeat like this until I do. It's one of those situations. So on with it...the Ace of Swords and the Queen of Swords have been plaguing me. I'm not in the mood to get into complete detail about them, so the highlights are...Queen equals separation, widow, divorce and independence. Ace equals conquest, force, champion, arguments. All in all, cold and sometimes angry cards.
We are 51 Days till Hallowe'en.

August 25th 2018 knuckles
Knuckles. As in, I just spent the day in the emergency because I dislocated two fingers. Trust me, typing is difficult as I can't use my one hand. Picking at the keys is not fun. Yes, my lovely Spudguns!, I've done it again. Injured myself. The doctor told me that nothing was broken, but then proceeded to slap a half cast on my arm that went all the way to my elbow.
For two knuckles that according to him were not broken...doesn't make sense to me either.
We are 67 Days till Hallowe'en.
Okay, that's about all I can handle right now...get it handle...so I'm going to end this little note right here, just wanted to run in for a moment and type something.
Something.

Aug 1st 2018
Hello my lovely Spudguns! Somehow, a month has past. I didn't mean for it to but somehow, it did.
Okay, so where were we last time...yes; the writer's block. Still struggling with that. Today marks 91 Days till Hallowe'en, and I am hoping to start Hallowe'en shopping this week. The stores here normally have stuff out by now, but for some reason, they haven't yet. I have some crafting projects I'm hoping to get completed once they do.
Last movie I saw was actually at the cinema. I went on Friday the 13th of July, opening day actually even more a rare treat for me, to see Hotel Transylvania 3 Summer Vacation. I have my review for it up on the movie blog.
Tonight's the final episode of The Originals. I'm not ready for that. I'm just not ready to loose yet another one of my favourite tv shows. I'm really hoping for some big twist with at lest one or two of the characters. I know there is going to be a spin off in the fall, but it's looking to be geared for younger audiences, where as The Originals was hitting for an older crowd.
The weather here the last few weeks has been in the +30'C with near +40'C humidex. I can't handle that kind of heat. I suffer from migraines and it's left me hiding in a darkened room.
Well, that Spudguns!, covers the updates.
Crossroads. I talked a bit about this lately. About how this is a big year of change for so many astrologically speaking. I am sure, I'm not the only one who has done some soul searching and digging into their future desires as of late. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who's made a decision about where they want to be in their life over the next few years...but just not too sure how to make that change happen?
When you're not even sure how to put into words what it is you are hoping for?
That's about where I am right now. And I keep turning to my tarot cards looking for away to voice what I can't seem to. Dude, it's almost as bad as the writer's block itself.
The card that keeps popping up more often than anything else is the Fool card. A card about crossroads and following your dreams.
So, basically, my answer is my question? See how that can be a bit confusing.
I'll let that be my ramble for today. And say that my facebook page (here) is still the best way to keep up with me, to get in touch and to just hang out. I've been counting down all year long for Hallowe'en. Yes, I've actually managed to countdown every day without a miss. More than amazing on my end. I've been doing my best to keep the weekly quiz and quotes on schedule.
I will be back very soon. Hopefully sooner than this last time.

We are 119 days till Hallowe'en.
Dear Spudguns! Yeah I don't know what I'm doing? I've hit another bit of writer's block, and if you've been following my movie blog the last few weeks, you can tell. My life has been busy, which is nice for a change, but it's left my mind blank. And my creative efforts are falling flatter than usual.
I was on Instagram just now, hoping some cooking gramers would inspire me, but instead I ended up just breaking down in a near batch of tears. I say near, as I didn't cry but came damn close.
When I started this bloggy blog, my original intention was to do recipes and crafts from a more Addams Family approach. You know, like a gothic Martha Stewart or something. But, as I learned, I suck. I've embraced my suckage at arts crafts and cooking, doing it anyways. Here's the thing, just between you and me; there are hundreds of others out there that sprang up over the last few years who are a million times better at it then I ever could be. Yeah, that nugget of golden silence was a slap to the ego I must say.
Put simply, I'm jealous.
Over the last decade and a half that I've been online doing what I've done, be it reviews for books/movies/wrestling, the recipes, the personal diaries/vlogs, the comedic posts, or the columns etc, I've done the one thing you should never do. Compare myself to those around me.
Bad me. Bad bad bad. I should never have done that. But, it's human nature. Sometimes we can get ahead of it and stop ourselves, and sometimes we fall into the pit of despair.
This is a big year of change for a lot of people. Astrologically speaking, this is a massive crossroads for half the people on the planet. Everyone will be feeling something, to some degree. But not everyone will be feeling the urge to do something about it.
As I stand at my personal crossroads of doubt and uncertainty; I can only assure myself that movement is good.
This became a bit of a ramble. Okay, I'll try to get back later in the week to this blog. With something. I have no idea what? Just, something. Hopefully, by that point I'll have written something for the week on the movie blog too. Keep your paws/claws/parts crossed that my writer's block is temporary.
And I guess this is the part where I tell you to not forget about my facebook page. (here) Till later.

Random Monday June 4th 2018
We are 149 days till Hallowe'en on the countdown calendar. And I just spent an hour on facebook, searching for something I couldn't find.
Pretty typical as of late for me. Searching, searching, searching, looking but not finding. I've been having that happen a lot lately, I'm lost in the details of things. I will get up in the morning, decide that I want to post about something, and get so wrapped up in trying to create the right photo or hashtag or whathaveyou, that by the time I look at the clock again, it's just too late. Either too many people have beat me to the topic cause everyone live streams, or I just simply lost interest.
Like my videos. I promised you guys new stuff. And I did create some Vlogs and Video Reviews. Which, I in a timely fashion and totally not like my lazy arse at all, posted to my movie blog and facebook in May. Just by the time I did that, thought "why post them again?" So they never made it to this blog.
I subscribe to a newsletter that I rarely get, and therefore always completely forget I've subscribed to until it pops into my emails every so often. And the crazy of it is, the person is local. Yeah, I have been brutally honest with my lack of local interest. Cause, well my city blows man. But, this morning, that newsletter reached my inbox, and the topic was about how we need to live in the details more.
Live in the details more. Ironically, it made a lot of sense. And the timing of it well...the universe is talking and I need to listen little closer.

Saturn and Pluto and me
As I look outside my living room window this morning, the sun is bright, there are birds on the lawn, mostly seagulls picking up the trash but birds none the less, and I am feeling the opposite of the weather. I don't feel bright and shinny.
Part of that is just me feeling emotionally exhausted, physically in constant pain and plain old annoyed.
Saturn went retrograde middle of last week and will continue to be until July. Pluto just went retrograde yesterday and will stay that way until August.
Both these planets deal with rewards, goals, and illusions/manipulation. This means a lot of depressed people and situations for the next few months. A good chunk of the world's population will be struggling to stay afloat during this time.
This equals an extremely busy time for astrologers and tarot readers.
Okay, before this gets anymore depressing on my end, we're 191 Days till Hallowe'en. And I'll catch you in a few.

Dear Bloggy-Blog:
I'm sorry I've been away. I miss you. I'm sure you miss me too?
I was stupidly taken in by the flash of the rest of social media, can you ever forgive me? Our blogiversary is coming up and I just wanted you to know how much you mean to me. Those other social media meant nothing really to me, I was weak. They were flashy and flirty and I'm so sorry. Please, accept my whimpering plea.
xo-xo forever.
212 Days till Hallowe'en.
Spudguns! How's it? I know, I've let everything go to dren and have been horrible at keeping anything going for longer than a month. The WWTGD? segment didn't do as well as I was hoping.
I did however, start a second story on my movie blog. Ironically, a movie blog that hasn't had many movie reviews in the last year. I know, my brains have been everywhere but where they should be lately. Let's call it a mid-life crisis and just move on.
I am editing a bunch of movie reviews for my youtube, so those should be ready soon.
Anyways, just thought since I hadn't posted in the last two months, I would come in and slam out this note.
Creeping Screams!

Situation: I thought I was catering to one group of people, but that does not seem to be the case anymore. How can I pin down my real target audience?
Movie Used: Supernatural ("Monster Movie" season 4 episode 5. Episode 65 of the series)
plot: The guys go to Pennsylvania, to solve what they think is a "straight forward black and white case, but end up at an Octoberfest themed village, chasing down what ends up being a shapeshifter.
Quotes: "Big Pretzel" - Dean when arriving at the Octoberfest
"I'm a maverick, a rebel with a badge. One thing I don't do is play by the rules." -Dean trying to pick up the bartender.
"We have a lot of experience with strange." -Dean questioning a witness.
"You mean like a Dracula?" -Dean to witness
"So what do you think? Goth psycho vampire wannabe right?" -Dean to Sam after talking to witness.
"Definitely not our case." -Sam to Dean before learning of the second murder.
"Do whatever you've got to do. I'm going back to the room and get some sleep." -Sam to Dean
"Not weird enough." -Dean to bartender while talking about case.
"A werewolf? You're sure?" -Sam after learning about the second murder.
"First a Dracula, now a full on movie time wolfman. What's going on in this town?" - Dean to Sam as they enter the police morgue.
"This case just got weird enough for our department." -Dean to a witness.
"You're good here with the Mummy and the crazy?" -Dean to Sam as they investigate the third murder.
"No. The X-Files is a tv show. This is real." -Dean to the bartender.
"But I have a coupon." -the villain of the week to a delivery guy
"Oh in the nick of time. Guy was about to Frankenstein me." -Dean to Sam as he's being rescued.
Favourite Scene: When the villain, dressed as Dracula answers the door and the pizza delivery guy is there, and he starts asking if there is any garlic on it.
Quotes Used: "So what do you think? Goth psycho vampire wannbe right?" and "Big Pretzel."
My Interpretation: You have to not sweat the small stuff, and be happy that you're alive. When you do what you love, the right people will start to enjoy your talents too. And if they happen to be outside of your intended audience, all the better for it. Diversity is strength, helps keep you from becoming stagnant and boring.
The big in joke is set up from the first minute with the first big line given by the character of Dean, as he comments about the black and white case. As this episode is entirely shot in black and white. I think it answered one of the biggest questions a show like this has to face; which is how do you do a Hallowe'en episode when your show is about the paranormal? Going to the "basics" with this, having it be the creature feature of the week, and a tribute to classic monsters in general was brilliant. Other than a few lines about Dean having been rescued from hell by angels, there isn't anything to anchor it to the rest of the season, making it the perfect stand alone episode.
This is also a great way to tear down the idea of "what you think you know isn't always the truth". Which, ironically, would become a theme over the rest of season four and most of season five. New layers and sub-plots would start to be exposed over the course of the next year of the show.
This is another example too, of me having a situation in my life that was starting to eat at my confidence. I have noticed a drastic change in my core audience in the last few months, and realized that as I waver on where I fit, it's reflected in what I do.
Check back next week, and see what kind of situation I've gotten into and whom I asked for advice.

Spudguns! How's everything? Groovy I hope. Anyways, it's a Monday, and if you've noticed, as of late I've been doing a fun, silly little segment called What Would The Ghouls Do? every week. But, I don't have one for this week. This last week has been a mess, and I'm realizing, I'm total crap at multitasking.
I'll be back next week, hopefully on time with the next segment of it. And in the meanwhile, don't forget to stop by my Facebook page for the quizzes, polls, quote of the week, and a few recipes. At some point soon, there will be some new comedy skits and crafting videos.
Today marks 282 Days till Hallowe'en.

Ghoul Asked for Advice: Prue, Piper, Phoebe Halliwell
Movie Used: Charmed ("Is There a Woogy in the House?" season 1 episode 15)
plot: After an earthquake, the sisters discover a strange smell coming from the basement. Because of Phoebe's fear from childhood about the basement, Prue and Piper tease her. But, when she becomes possessed by something in the house, they have no other choice but to turn to Prue's boss, who is a historian and knows more about their house than they do.
Quotes: "Just because I protect the innocent, doesn't mean I have to be innocent all the time." -Phoebe
"It was scary and it was real." - Phoebe
"I'm making Coq au Vin and I need that bottle more than you." -Piper to a rival in the store
"Don't worry, I can handle it all myself. It's me the culinary pachyderm." - Piper talking to herself after everyone abandons her
"Try cooking a feast when your own kitchen is attacking you." -Piper to Prue after the blender doesn't work.
"Sabotage. I'm being sabotaged." -Piper
"I don't know what it is but it's like the house is possessed." -Piper after yet another kitchen accident.
"I don't know, but I can't cook this mean in this kitchen." -Piper to Prue as the dinner guests arrive.
"Dinner has been changed. We're having it somewhere else." -Prue to the guests
"Our house has turned against us." -Prue to Piper after spending the night on the lawn.
Favourite Scene: When Piper is freaking out in the kitchen after everything has broken down.
Using the Quotes: "Try cooking a feast when your own kitchen is attacking you." and "Our house has turned against us."
My Interpretation: Things are suddenly going horribly wrong, and it feels like a really bad supernatural joke. There most likely is a logical reason for the sudden craziness, but anything is possible.
This is the first time in the series where we're introduced to the idea of the Hollow/Nexus. Which becomes a major sub-plot in the rest of the series. This is also the first time we see them write in the book of shadows.
There isn't really a lesson here unfortunately. This was one of those episodes created just to get a lot of "a character's back history" into play for future episodes. In this case, the history of the house itself.
I have to admit, I rarely sit down to watch the earlier episodes, as I find season one extremely cheesy. I think the show really didn't become interesting until the fifth season.
I picked this episode today, because I actually have been having some crazy kitchen issues. After asking everyone I know for their advice; I decided to break down and use my own situation for the gimmick. Sad to say, not even the cheesy comedy of Charmed made me feel any better. Or help in any real way.
Come back next Monday, see what kind of situation I've gotten myself into and whom I turned to for advice.

Ghouls Asked for Advice: Morticia and Wednesday Addams
Movie Used: Addams Family "Hallowe'en Addams Style" (season 2 episode 7; series episode 41 original air date 10/29/65)
plot: While the Addams are spending Hallowe'en playing games, Wednesday is upset because the neighbour's told her there is no such thing as witches. To help easy her mind, Morticia decides to hold a seance to prove there are, by contacting their dead aunt. Only, when Ma-Ma finds out, she gets Lurch to pretend to be their dead aunt in order to help. This only makes things worse, as now everyone is waiting up for Aunt Singe's late night visit. When another neighbour comes knocking on their door in costume, they mistake her for their dead aunt.
Quotes: "First one to get an apple in his mouth wins the Hallowe'en prize." -Morticia to both Gomez and Uncle Fester
"No no dear. They want little goodies." -Morticia explaining to Gomez how trick or treating works.
"Ma-Ma. How's the porcupine taffy coming?" -Morticia
"I didn't scare anyone." -Wednesday in tears referring to her costume of a princess.
"What a terrible thing to tell a child." -Morticia after hearing what the neighbour said about witches not being real.
"I better go up to bed. If you can't believe in witches, what can you believe in?" -Wednesday
"Uncle Fester, you do not make friends by whipping people." -Morticia
"Of course there are darling. Remember our great great great aunt Singe. She was burned at Salem." -Morticia to Gomez when he needs to be reassured witches are real.
"If we could only get one witch to sit down and explain thing to her."-Morticia
"Maybe their telephone numbers are unlisted?" -Morticia to Gomez and Fester when looking in the phone book under W.
"What right thinking witch would turn down a child on Hallowe'en?" - Morticia
"She maybe cinders but she's a lady." - Morticia not realizing it's actually Lurch answering her during the seance.
"But I'd rather have a spider." -Wednesday after Gomez gives her a pet horse.
"Whatever she told you about the holiday rush is quite true. She flew right out the window." -Morticia after mistaking the neighbour for their aunt.
Favourite Scene: When Lurch replies to Morticia after she rings the bell, and he's still talking in a high pitched voice, only Morticia doesn't seem to notice.
Using the Quotes: "No no they want little goodies." and "Whatever she told you about the holiday rush is quite true. She flew right out the window."
My Interpretation: Everyone is entitled to their own belief. There is a reason holidays are considered magickal. Centuries of people's excitement for them has added to the weight of the magick. And, there is nothing wrong with believing in the mystical.
This episode is a bit of a downer actually. What is suppose to be macabre and outrageous, doesn't feel like that now. It's one story that didn't really hold up over time.
The only real thing you can pull away from this episode, is that the neighbour had no business telling a little kid what they hold dear is not real. That was actually cruel.
Alrighty then. That's what I'm talking about (I feel better)
Come back next Monday and see what kind of situation I've gotten myself into and whom I turned to for advice.

Spudguns! It's a new year, and even though I managed to miss last week's segment, I'm back with another round of What Would The Ghouls Do?
Situation: There's this guy I've got a crush on but I'm shy. What do I do to let him know I like him?
Ghouls Asked for Advice: Paige, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell
Movie Used: Charmed season 5 ("Sense and Sense-ability" episode 20 of season, ep 108 of series)
plot: When the Crone decides she needs to get closer to Wyatt in order to gain information, she curses the sisters causing them to lose their senses. Paige can not speak, Piper can not see and Phoebe can not hear. They end up having to work together as one, and face their personal insecurities in order to get overcome it.
Quotes: "How do you like that, kinda like magick" -Piper to Paige's boyfriend.
"Yeah, now he smiles."- Piper
"Better than okay, I'm going to have a love life." -Paige
"So that lovers will be stunned by you?" -Piper
"You're in love with a Kazi demon?" -Phoebe
"I'm making a stun potion so that I can maybe have a date that doesn't end in Nate you've got to leave I have to clean some demon guts off the ceiling." -Paige
"Nate, much cuter than a Kazi demon." -Phoebe
"Kinda sad when a mime is making fun of your phone usage." -Paige to Phoebe
"I blame your very handsome but very pushy boyfriend." -Piper to Phoebe
"I look forward to hearing your thoughts"- Phoebe
"Now I'm blushing and my lipstick won't match my cheeks." -Paige
"Excuse me, this is either someone's sick sick joke, or someone's working on a massive evil plan." -Phoebe
"It's strange, when it mattered most we could almost read each other's minds." -Piper to Leo
Favourite Scene: When Paige is creating the potion and the others are trying to figure out what it's got to do with her dating.
Using the Quotes: "Now I'm blushing and my lipstick won't match my cheeks." and "I look forward to hearing your thoughts."
My Interpretation: When in doubt, body language. Granted some people are way better at it than others, but it's true that 90% of communication is done by how we act or don't act as the case maybe. Your gut reaction to the way someone looks at you, or looks away from you, or even shuffles in their steps is always your best indication of how they feel about you.
This episode is all about communication. The beginning of the episode we see Phoebe constantly on the telephone, ignoring those around her, while Paige is trying to connect to her new boyfriend by letting him in on a big fear she has. Meanwhile, Piper is feeling insecure because everyone else in the family has managed to decode Wyatt's cries when she herself can't. Plus, the whole reason the Crone puts her curse into motion is because she's had a vision about Wyatt's future. Instead of just reaching out to Piper and telling her what she needs, she sneaks around behind Piper's back. This episode takes a comical approach to the fact so many of us only deal with the surface of the issue because we are afraid to trust our own instincts.
There is actually a scene where Phoebe and Paige are trying to get information out of the Kazi demon, and Paige keeps pointing to a note. It's only after a few painful attacks on the demon that Phoebe realizes the demon can not read. They then change their communication style, getting the information they need.
While Phoebe's and Paige's situation centers around listening, Piper's and the Crone's centers around seeing.
There's also a little nod in this episode towards Phoebe's future power of becoming an empath and not being able to control the fact she can hear/feel other's thoughts/desires.
Alrighty, that's what I'm talking about (I feel better)
Come back next Monday and see what kind of situation I've gotten myself into and whom I've turned to for advice.
