Man, Halloween really snuck up on me this year. It's my favorite time of the year, but it always seems to go by so fast! Well, at least with this year having the (still fairly newish) new job, and trying to get packed up to move, I have an excuse for missing out on most of the Halloween movie watching and gaming I would like to be doing.
