Hallowhaat?

It's Halloween, which is just about my favorite holiday. Here's why; I like scary movies, scary comic books and scary costumes. When October rolls around everything gets a spooktacular makeover, and I get to watch horror movies with all of my spare time. Then there's the drinking, which doesn't come up as much on other holidays, like Easter.
Right now I'm watching Halloween 2 and making a burrito in the oven. For those of you not familiar with the Halloween series I'll sum it up with as few words as possible; walking. Yup, walking, which is a pretty laid-back action word. Why does walking make for a scary movie? Well it's the guy whose walking; Michael Myers. He looks ridiculous in a white-painted Captain Kirk mask, but remains very scary for his ability to pick himself up off the floor (after being shot, stabbed, burned, cursed at ect.) and keep walking. Not in a big hurry to kill anybody, just determined. Determined like a fox.
We've made it to Portland, which is the first place that has thoroughly confused my cell phone. Beyond that it's a very pretty city on a river, and I'm looking forward to getting out and seeing some of the town. The weather is beautiful for fall; nice and overcast with very high humidity. Good Halloween weather.
Just a thought - I don't have any idea where the hell I'm going to get any candy tonight. Bars don't usually serve candy, and if they did I don't think I would trust much of it. Ruffies and chocolate make my teeth hurt.

Ruh-Roh

It's gettin' cold here in Central Illinois, and I've got the travel itch. I'll be heading for Portland on Monday, were Gussers has already setup our next base of operations. It's a secret location, but just between you, me and the crickets, it's in a hotel.
Watched a great movie yesterday called Wolfen, which was released in 1981. There seemed to be a rash of werewolf films released that year, including the popular American Werewolf in London. I enjoyed Wolfen for the following reasons;
- gritty wolf vision
- Gregory Hines (RIP)
- Albert Finney (who recently kicked ass in The Bourne Ultimatum)
- Edward James Olmos playing an Indian
- you can see the twin towers several times throughout the movie, which is neat
There was other good stuff to, but the ending was kind of lame.
On a related note I also watched part of James Belushi's K-9,P.I. which wins the award for the best use of punctuation in a film title. Despite everything society teaches me, I am a big fan of James Belushi. Also being a fan of K-9's, I enjoyed K-9,P.I. a bunch. At the time I didn't realize it was a sequel, so I get a bonus movie to watch sometime down the line. That's going to drive Gussie nuts...

Okay, Okay. It's been over two months since either Gussers or myself have updated this thing. Which some might say is our fault, and that's fine. We know that's just the withdrawl talking.
Where have you two been? you might ask. What amazing things have you seen? might also pop to mind. Well, everywhere for one, and everything for the other. Really, we've gotten around in the past 84 days. We're used. Put away wet and all that.
We've passed through California not once but twice! Seen Las Vegas and it's myriad of smells! Gotten stuck in New Mexico sand! Bottomed-out about 40,000 times in our Dodge Charger! We even stopped to take few photos along the way.
