It's my favorite time of the year again! I love Halloween so much.If I had to explain why I love it, it's just the most fun time of the year. I love spooky stuff in general, so seeing everyone trying to be a bit more spooky is fun. I love cheap little plastic spiders, skeletons on strings, seeing cobwebs on store windows, it's just fun.
I also love how it happens right when it starts getting cooler. If Halloween was like, near the end of Spring, I wouldn't like it nearly as much. The fun festive atmosphere plus the cooler weather is just the perfect combo.
Every year, I try to do as much as I can. Watch as many scary movies, play as many scary games, though I never feel like I do everything I want to. But at least Halloween always comes again next year. Sure, I can watch/play scary things whenever, but it's most fun during October.
Streamed Backyard Baseball and Skate with friends Decorated my workspace with fun Halloween decorations | THU 10-2-2025
I bought a bunch of horror games to play this month, including the Pacman World 2 remake. I mean, it's kind of Halloween-y. You fight ghosts, the main villain is named "Spooky"... it's Halloween enough. Plus it's pretty fun.Tomorrow is my physical. I've been stressing about it the last couple days. I'm just terrified of the worst case scenario... which I imagine is pretty common for most people whenever they go to the doctor. Right now, it feels like the one big barrier preventing me from enjoying this month. I guess that will make it that much satisfying if I conquer it, right?
I'll return tomorrow.
Played Pacman World 2 Re-Packed (or whatever it's called) Watched more Haunted Hotel with family | FRI 10-3-2025
Well my doctor appointment is over and done with. I feel... a bit better. I have one issue that they just sort of shrugged at and went "eh, if it gets worse come back." I was hoping they would tell me everything was fine and to not be worried, but it is what it is. Now it's my job to manage my anxiety... until the next thing to worry about. what a nightmare.But for now, I'm comfy in bed feeling very tired from the vaccine side effects. I hope I can have a relaxing weekend.
Got my doctor's appointment taken care of Got really good at Backyard Baseball A friend drew one of my characters | SAT 10-4-2025
Seeing a movie in a theatre at 9pm is a bad idea cause I get super sleepy. I’m surprised I didn’t fall asleep during Good Boy (which was pretty good) Saw Good Boy | SUN 10-5-2025
Started playing Lost in Vivo | MON 10-6-2025
Today I got a call from my doctor saying that my cholesterol is high. I'm not surprised, my diet has always been bad. But now that I had a doctor tell me "hey you should be more careful", I'm going to try to take it more seriously. I've already been cutting down on soda and eating out less, so I feel like I'm on the right track. I can make a bunch of small, easy changes. Started taking melatonin again. Been having some wacky dreams. It's just a shame I can never remember them.
Got breakfast tacos at work Did some art this evening | TUE 10-7-2025
Back on my "making lists" thing. Lists are very helpful. I made a note in my notebook to make sure I put on face lotion tonight, and I did!I'm trying to cut back on caffeine and other sugary drinks, but man having a caffeinated drink in the evening really helps with not falling asleep at 9pm. Maybe I should give tea another shot, there's got to be one type of tea I like that isn't just carbonated lemon tea.
Got some art done Feeling my art groove come back

Today I went to Six Flags. Six Flags is a bit run down, nowhere near as lively when I went there a lot as a kid (or I'm just nostalgic). It's still fun to visit once every 3 years or so, since it's close by.The main reason I went was to do their haunted houses, which were a lot of fun. I screamed a lot, more than I think I've screamed in the past 5 years or so. Sadly I don't have any photos to show because photos aren't allowed.
Thanks for the memories, Six Flags. See you in several years. Or not... I'm not really much of a theme park person anymore.
I'm... dare I say... a bit Halloween'd out tonight...?! | MON 10-13-2025
I really do feel Halloween'd out. That's great though, I already feel pretty fulfilled. The only thing I really want to do left (other than play the remainder of my spooky games) is draw some stuff.Oh also I played mini golf for the first time today. It was pretty fun.
Got some nice work recognition and a lovely gift Played mini golf for the first time Finished Lost in Vivo | TUE 10-14-2025

beat theeeeemmm with my bare fists. smash them to a pulp. squeeze their form in my hand until they're nothing but a ball i can roll around. I sink my fingers into them and they leave indents. i roll them between my palms and they become like a snake. they're nothing but simple shapes i can
The swirly-faced man always freaked me out. I think that's why the story has a soft spot in my heart. It's *just* subtly creepy enough. When you return to the ticket taker and he says the weird garbled text, I think that's a pretty good ending. Definitely an underrated story from that era.
