There's a Friday the 13th next year in July. Both parents are going away on holiday then; they're flying.

Are you superstitious? Planning on doing anything to fight of the hex?

I'll be watching the movie, of course, but miht not be the best day for driving.:eek:

well its friday the 13th here for another hr...Got some movies but phalanx fell asleep the bastard.
Im superstitious. Mum kinda dragged me into it when I was younger and followed it through till now. The black cat thing tho. I think its bullshit. I gotta black cat and he hasn't brought bad luck.

I wont walk under ladders....uh what else is there..can't think really.

Here in Oz tho we dont do things like halloween or Friday the 13th. Horror is very very small here and that sucks ass.

I would love to make more a celebration out of it, but no one in my life seems to liek to make a big deal out of any day. I love holidays and birthdays. Hell, when it is showing new episodes, my wife and i have "House night" on tuesdays where we allow ourselves to eat like shit and drink up a storm.

I figure since these things only come around a couple of times a year, and especially since this on eis in october, i WANT people to make big deal about it, because it is fun. not because i think it has any real influence on anything.

Alhtough when i was kid, i remember friday the 13ths always lead to kids named Jason to get ostracized...kids are weird.

That's really... I guess, beautiful, Vod. Wanting to celebrate these things, whereas there are those of us who find celebration a chore.

You've got your Lilly, get her excited about the neat little piquancies of life. Begin a generation of it.:)

I'm with you, Vod

Just give me cause for celebratrion and I'm there.

Today I have one rule...I don't drive. I'll be bicycling for a few groceries and walking anywhere else I need to be. But I'm gonna stay close top home and revel in the idea that "dark forces are at work" on this day.

I wish i could do that. however with my commute its not realistic ;)

90 minutes averaging 70 MPH the whole way... if i could maintain 30 mph for the whole trip, i could make it in just over 3 hours :)


and die of a stroke promptly upon arriving :)

Bree is taking Lily to a farm we lived just down the street from but never thought to go to. I can t believe we'd missed it for so long too, seems heavily geeared towards kids, and if there is one good thing about New England, it's the enthusiams about fall (Autumn is Lily's middle name, literally ;))




Hopefully AMC is doing some good movies tonight. i always like fear friday marathons. if all else fails, it may be time to break out the ol dog soldiers and ring dvds
