I'm getting up in a few hours to hit the road to Atlanta to see Jonsi play The Tabernacle. I'm super stoked about it. And...the day after I moped on this blog about how no one was going with me, someone's original Halloween plans changed, and they are now coming with me. Thank you Jesus. I feared being too lonely and bummed to enjoy the show. We're leaving early though; he wants to meet up with a friend for lunch beforehand, and we want to get to the venue fairly early, as the tickets are general admission.
To celebrate Halloween, I got on Netflix to watch a horror movie. I chose "Paranormal Activity," as I hadn't seen it yet and I'd heard it was genuinely scary. I regret watching it now, though. I'd been expecting a ghost story, but this was about demonic activity. Maybe I'm not far enough removed from the Marzulli conference, but I honestly didn't feel right watching it. I've never been one to ever experience anything in the demonic realms as many of my friends have, and I really don't want to. This movie felt too...loaded...for lack of a better term. I don't know what I'm trying to say I guess. But it felt wrong. The demonic isn't to be messed with.
So, to distract myself, I watched "Saw VI." While infinitely more gruesome than "Paranormal Activity," it was totally just mindless entertainment. At the end a dude got acid pumped into his torso, and it burned him in half. His lower half fell to the ground and intestines all spilled out. Mindless entertainment.
Happy Halloween, folks.
