I started watching this show a while ago and decided it was time to wrap it up. It had some funny moments, but it had a staggering number of continuity errors. I guess I didn’t pay that close attention to it the first time I watched it because I did not remember that. That said, The Great Herring War scene is definitely a classic!
My rating: 3.5/5

This was a unique take on the horror genre. The story took place in the 1970s and was about a failing late-night show that tried to boost its ratings during sweeps week, which happened to take place over Halloween. Side note: this was not based on a true story. Several supernatural-type guests were booked and, as you might guess, things didn’t end well.
My rating: 3/5

Jasmine Cain brought her “12 Days of Acoustic Christmas” tour to Johnstown again last night. Although she played less metal this year, it was still a lot of fun! It’s quickly becoming one of my favorite Christmas traditions.

Brendan Fraser won an Academy Award for his portrayal of a morbidly obese English teacher who tries to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter. The whole movie takes place in his apartment. The makeup department (who also won an Academy Award) deserves some kudos because it looked 100% real.

I hosted Thanksgiving again this year. I guess you could say it’s my thing. The usual people were in attendance (my parents, Jake & Amelia, and my brother and his family). Jake has been in all month, and I am thankful for that! When he moved, he had an unfinished car project and recently found the motivation to complete it, so he came in at the beginning of the month and worked on the car all month to get it running again. And, he accomplished that mission yesterday.
