screaming in the rain

my brother and his wife are in town in this weekend and we decided to all go to the eastern state penitentiary's (sp?) fright night thing.

it's pouring with rain outside ans, while we think it's supposed to be $25 a pop, my brother finds out when he gets to the ticket window that it's actually $30! what?!?!

anywho, after driving all the way down in that horrendous weather, and standing in line to buy the tix, we decide we'll do it anyway. ok, so not worth the $30. it was quite elaborate, and had we not been bunched up on either side of us (thereby revealing any secrets, bc we can see/hear the peeps in front of us losinf it), nor had we had to endure multiple puddles and muddy patches, in addition to the rain, maybe i would have enjoyed it more. i didn't not enjoy it, but it was more comical and predictable and mildly boring due to the conditions.

i happen to LOVE being scared and welcome the opportunity any time. but i also used to work at a "house of death" when i was in college so it's lost a little of it's mystery and "scariness".

anywho, we came home and decided to watch a movie. i had never seen "dodgeball", even though i had purchased it (i mean, really it's vince vaughn peoples!!!), so we decided to pop that in. quite funny, even if i did nod off a few times, due to sheer exhaustion.

i have to say, while i have not seen every frat pack flick, i happen to thoroughly enjoy their humor. for those of you that haven't a clue who that frat pack is, it includes; will ferrell, ben stiller, vince vaughn & the wilson brothers (owen & luke). i think that is all the current members but if you know i've left someone out, please jog my memory.

if you have not seen the following movies, you must!!!

elf
zoolander
meet the parents
dodgeball
be cool

and the list could go on.

actually, i should also mention that, of all my sight unseen dvd purchases, today i saw what has got to be one of my best sight unseen purchases (joining how to lose a guy in 10 days, napolean dynamite, mean girls and be cool ---> the incredibles!

excellent movie!

well, i need some beauty rest, gosh!
