Trick or Treat, Trick or Treat, Trick or Treat for Halloween
When ghosts and goblins by the score,
ring the bell or pound your door,
better not be stingy or your little white house turns green.

Happy Halloween
A very Happy Halloween to you all! Should you be one of those people who doesn't think any one should celebrate Halloween because you are a nut case, you can stop reading my blog now.
For the rest of you, I hope you are enjoying your day and that all younger ones have a grand time trick or treating. We will be handing out candy tonight or else I will have much candy that I will have to start consuming tomorrow.
Also I hope that any one who would enjoy them has been watching some Halloween type movies. So far at our house we have watched Nightmare before Christmas, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Its the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, Hocus Pocus, and Sleepy Hallow (the live action one). I am some what limited to not getting to really watch horror movies, but its ok. Today I fully intend on watching Disney's Halloween treat and the 1930 Universal Horror Classic Frankenstein!
Well, I suppose that will wrap up this post, so to all you ghouls and gobblins out there, Happy Haunting.

Conspiracy
So the other day they had on the History Channel (no, it is not just History, its the History Channel, salt is not a modern marvel and Ice Road Truckers should be on the Discovery Channel) they had a show about 9/11 conspiracies. It was interesting to watch. Someone would come on and swear that there was no possible way an aircraft could crash in a certain manner or it is impossible for a building to fall in such a manner. Then someone who knew what they were talking about would come on (aero engineers, structural engineers, demolition experts) and would explain how things worked in the real world.
The best part is when they tried to say the whole thing was a government conspiracy. Then one of the experts came on and was talking about the myth of the hyper-competent government. Then I had a great idea to do away with these foolish theories. Make all the people who thing it was a big government cover up work for the government for about a month. Then they will come to realize the government can't pull it off. It will work itself out.

A Headline
So there is a headline on one of my google gadgets saying that the UN hopes for an Obama win. However, you must realize that the UN is kinda useless in present form. Its mostly a debating club. When something goes bad in the world does the UN say "Hey, lets go fix this problem?" No. There answer is "Lets pass a resolution that might possibly lead to sanctions if the problem gets worse in a few years". Then they sit around and debate about what they meant when they said it.
This is why we need NATO. Its like a possy. Something goes wrong and you say to NATO "Come on boys, lets go fix this" and then they go. Sure, dipolmatic action is the best way to take care of things but it usually works better when you have a position that if this is the right thing to do we are going to do it, and if it means using force in the end then we will use force. I mean, after all, your probably not that afraid of a toothless wolf. Not a whole lot of people are getting mawed to death. And its worse if its a 50 year old toothless fat wolf who wants to pass a sanction against you.

Another week down
So another week has gone by, I figure that I should post again. Not too much has been happening. We are now basically all unpacked, which is nice. There is soo much more room around here without boxes everywhere. So that is a plus, though it means that I will have to vacuum again. Boo to that.
Other then that I'm not sure what else to really put, reading 2001 which is a really good book, it explains so much more then the movie did. I think it will be quiet interesting to finish the book and then watch the movie again. Stella has never seen it all the way through. We started watching, but had to stop to run errands and such about halfway through. So we still need to sit down and watch that.
Saturday there is a Halloween party, which will be interesting. Plus during the day I will be up at the space museum to teach some kids about gyros and navigation. Yay for science!! Then Sunday we are hiking up a mountain with some Bishops and the youth group. So I will be out most of that day.

Howdy
Ahoy there all of you.
So last night we had a few people over to see the new place and we craved some pumpkins and watched some Halloween type movies and in general had a good time. There was a good deal of unpacking that got done last week, as you can tell from the photos on the photo blog. The kitchen and living room are mostly set up. And in today's running I have picked up a box of those logs for the fireplace and some fire tools. So now we are ready to have a nice fire and all.
To Skippy, I must say that I am sorry, but I now plan to horde all of my Disney movie codes. I am in need of Donald in Mathemagic Land. Also I will be ready should new movies pop up that I may wish to acquire through this system.
We went to the gun show this morning and then picked up the truck that finally seems to work again. Stella had a CWOC craft day so I came home and have been a bum for a few hours. But after I finish up posting I am going to have to go forth and wash dishes and the like. Oh, we also made pumpkin bread. And baked pumpkin seeds. All fresh from the pumpkins we carved. It was a good time all around.
Well, I do believe that will finish things up for this post.

Vote Kodos!
The politics of failure have failed!! We need to make them work again!
We must go forward, not backward! Upward, not forward! And twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!
Any how, it would seem that the time to be sealed in the voting cubicle is drawing near. I look forward to an orderly election that will eliminate the need for a violent blood bath.
So just a few random questions to see if anyone reads this or knows how things work around here.
1. How old must you be to run for president?
2. How many electoral votes do you need?
3. How many electoral votes does your state get? (Please name the state you vote in)
4. Are you planning to vote for Kang? (Remember, he is running on a platform of enslaving all mankind)
Don't blame me! I voted for Kodos.
5. I really hope you get the reference....

Unpacking and cleaning
So things are more updated then when I took the pictures. Now there are some things hung up on the walls. We have our shelves up so that the bar ware is up, you know, take care of the important stuff first. Plus we have a number of pictures and such hung up and a chunk of the books are on shelves. My diploma is hanging above my desk next to my commission plus I have a Simpsons movie poster up.
Bernoulli really seems to enjoy the backyard, but seems to be afraid to walk across the kitchen to get there. She is learning to come back inside when we open the door though, so that is a good thing. There are times that she will run around the house or just lay out somewhere, but other times she'll just sit in her cage and look sad. The cat is enjoying having piles of boxes around so that it can hide it them.
Today we are going to clean the old apartment. We have a bit more stuff to bring over, like the kitchen stuff. But by the end of today we should be totally out of the other place, so we will just have to unpack stuff here. Yay for that!
Anyhow, I will take some more pictures at some point and post those too so you can all enjoy the progress that we are making. It now seems that it is time to go out and work on cleaning the apartment. So I will post again some other time. It seems the cat is getting in the toilet again.

Blah
Ok
So we couldn't find the trip up to the trinity site, so we ended up going home and sleeping a bit more. Don't be waiting for any photos of the site. You will have to make do with what is up there.
Though there is still the Fiesta de Familia happening that we will be going to this evening. So there will be some Mexican foods for dinner and such. Plus some packing and all, seeing as how we are moving next Friday.
So this week I need to see about getting stuffs transferred to the new address and all. Hopefully I can get it all taken care of and then perhaps next weekend we can put up some pictures of the new place.

Werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
walkin through the streets of Soho in the rain.
He was lookin for the place called Lee Ho Fooks, gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein.
Chorus:
Aaahoo, werewolves of London
Aaahoo(2x)
Ya hear him howlin around your kitchen door, ya better not let him in.
Little old lady got mutilated late last night, werewolves of London again.
Chorus 2x
He's the hairy, hairy gent, who ran amok in Kent.
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair.
You better stay away from him, he'll rip your lungs out Jim.
Huh, I'd like to meet his tailor.
Chorus 2x
Well, I saw Lon Chaney walkin with the queen, doing the werewolves of London.
I saw Lon Chaney Jr. walkin with the queen, doin the werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinkin a pina colada at Trader Vic's
And his hair was perfect.
ahhhooooo, werewolves of London
Draw blood
Just a note, I managed to avoid getting bitten by the werewolves.

Home
Ok, so I am home.
So since the last post I got to spend some time in London, took a bunch of photos and all. Once I get this post up I'll begin on posting some photos, since I have had a few travels since the last photo post.
The flight home was long, it was about 10 hours. I got to watch a lot of movies on the flight. Not overly many good movies, but I did get to watch several. It took longer then we thought to get through customs, so we ended up missing our connection to El Paso, so we got to spend more time in Dallas then originally planned. So I didn't get back home till a bit after midnight. Then there was need for sleep.
Today is running errands, which is getting to be a pain because the truck needs to get fixed, but apparently there is only one place in town that can fix it, and the one guy who can fix it is out for the week. Grumble. So I think it is gonna be nap time here pretty soon. I'm still kinda on London time.
Tomorrow we are going to the Trinity site, its where they blew up the first atomic bomb. It should be kinda interesting. And then there is a festival thing this weekend. So there should be some stuffs to do this weekend.
