Week 2 of Grand Jury: When selling an item on craigslist, do not agree to meet the prospective buyer alone, in a bad part of town...at niiiight. Illegal entrance onto a premise with criminal intent during the day is called Breaking and Entering and is considered a felony. This very same action is called Burglary and is then considered a capital offense when committed...at niiiight. Before

As we begin our second week of Grand Jury service do you think you can take it upon yourself to *not* crochet while victims and witnesses are testifying? Although the sweater you're making looks beautiful I'm pretty sure last week's victim was just as appreciative as me of your indifference as he testified, in tears, to being robbed and severely beaten. Sincerely, Junior Deputy Foreskin

...And I Want My Money Back. I personally hate Meat Loaf the singer but hey, it went with the post.  Kinda. I love this meatloaf hand! I don't think I'd have the patience for something like this but I love that someone else gave it a shot and included such detailed notes along the way.  (And I love the fact that she included a cute pancake chaser at the end.)

There are 23 people, myself included, serving on the Grand Jury. 98% of them are extremely bitter that they will be serving for the next 6 weeks.  The exceptions being myself and a mystery writer with fierce red hair who likes to crochet.  And yes, I have since nicknamed her "firecrochet".  I'm so mature, I know. The Grand Jury room is so not grand.  I'm thinking shabby chic with the emphasis on

Fur:  An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006):    Okay, this is not a horror flick but I’m including it here anyway because of the fur factor. I was a little ick'ed out by the ridiculously hirsute Robert Downey Jr. but then seeing Nicole Kidman wear the fur jacket that was made from none other than his very own hair really grossed me out. One could argue that this was a very sweet and

Okay, my inquisitive mind needs your help.  Click play and pay attention at 1:10 in ---- what song is that playing?  It sounds familiar but I can't find it for the life of me.  It doesn't seem to be on the soundtrack and I'm not quite sure how to phrase my google search terms.  "Song played while Alicia gives Ben a dust job" just isn't cutting it.

My friend Susan hipped me to Kate Pierson's Kate's Lazy Meadow Motel where you can spend the night in an airstream named 'Planet Air' or one of the cabin suites.   It's not cheap but it looks like fun.  I personally love that one of the cabins has a sink that looks like a face with the cutest nose ever!

"Celeriac" is one of the shorts being shown at this year's RI International Horror Film Fest.  The fact that it's a short thriller involving celery just kills me!  Here it is:

At the end of October I'm going to be serving on a Grand Jury.  Since my only "insight" to the process is from watching Law & Order episodes I decided I should edumacate myself.  The American Bar Association has a FAQ article about Grand Juries which is interesting and somewhat surprising.  Here are some highlights: The primary function of the modern grand jury is to review the evidence

Scary movies know no seasonal boundaries with me but this is the month in which I seriously indulge.  Check out the trailer below for Trick 'r Treat which apparently was released straight to DVD in 2008.  This is definitely being added to the queue.   It's totally reminiscent of Creepshow.  (Plus it's got an evil small person running around!)

I've been a cooking fool this month.  Here are some "weiners": Sweet Potato and Hominy Stew Simple one-dish dinner that’s yummy and extremely filling. Do not make this in a saucepan as the recipe suggests.   This sucker needs to be made in a large pot.  I opted for the saucepan and ended up having to do a mid-cooking transfer to something larger.  Not the end of the world but annoying

This is totally missing from this. Edit: Totally SFW but you may want to turn the volume down and take some dramamine for the 2nd link, at least for the opening sequence.

Head lice suck. Period. Thankfully only one of us had them (not me, I sweah) but you only know that after treating everyone as if they're infested. This includes: a trip to the shower to wash your hair followed by an application of a creamsicle-colored smelly ointment followed by another trip to the shower followed by having someone pick through your hair with a fine-tooth comb in disgust for
