Scary Moments

Last night I was watching the first half of the 100 Greatest Scary Moments which I had seen before but was still fun. One thing that irritated me though was the tendency that the show had to sneer at the older shows and films. Shows like Quatermass and the Pit (which, by the way, is still scary and brilliant today fifty years after it was first broadcast) and movies like Frankenstein may look comical now but when they were first shown they were terrifying and revolutionary.

Today I wasn't over at my parent's house and this afternoon I went up to The Tron bar fora couple of drinks with my friend Joe. So that was a really nice change.

Back home I had a platter of chicken, spare rib, mushrooms in batter, onion rings, and potato skins with cheese and bacon, with sour cream on the side. That was really nice!
