watching horror movies since 1974

Right from Christmas into Lent. Excellent!

Currently wearing: tight black “M” sweater, maroon velvet mini skirt, clunky black mary janes, a look of defiance.*
Currently reading: The Latchkey Dog by Jodi Andersen and How Do You Say Goodbye? – Margaret Burman
Currently listening to: Crucify – Tori Amos
Currently munching on: Cosi‘s signature salad and Sweetarts®.
Currently smelling like: gas, 90 octane
