I think I finally have most of Haunt Season up and running, and I think I, along with my team, have survived. Just for posterity, here is what we did this season.

1. Halloween Horror Nights - Universal Studios 2. Delusion 3. Queen Mary - Dark Harbor 4. Fright Fest - Six Flags Magic Mountain 5. Fright Fest - Six Flags Fiesta Texas 6. Fright Fest - Six Flags Over Texas 7. Fright Fest - Six Flags Over Georgia 8. Fright Fest - Six Flags Great Adventure 9. Fright Fest - Six Flags Great America

And then on top of that getting rolling on the rest of our work and rentals.

It has been a total of something like 30 haunted houses in 5 states.

Damn.

I need a nap after reading your post, ND.

Now comes the really hard part, collecting payment.

It has been a total of something like 30 haunted houses in 5 states.

Out of context, this line makes you sound like a ghost hunter. I would definitely watch the Drew Hunts Ghosts show.

I love the idea of a haunting, but I've been in so many creepy and supposedly haunted spaces with nothing happening that I'm not sure how exciting it would be. I'd be totally down though. I mean I used to spend most of a month wandering around in a cemetery and mausoleum with the power off in the middle of the night by myself to install spooky shit.

That sounds exhausting, Drew!!

Omg y’all. So yesterday I went to my friends’ rec soccer game. First one of the season, lots of folks were there, so multiple people to chat with on sidelines, good time. There was a new player who had just been recruited and was trying it out, who was v hot. I cheered friends on and eventually left. Tonight I go to trivia, and one of my usual teammates (who is not a soccer person) brought a couple friends…one of whom is the hot soccer player (call her L, and the other one K). Who showed up while I was telling the story about the random make out the other weekend (because I hadn’t seen these friends in a couple weeks). A little embarrassing but whatever, I tell my story. We play trivia. L leaves a little early but her friend stays. One of my friends brings up the make out thing and I mention that I found out after that she is a cop, which is not hot. And K goes “wait, is her name [name]??!” And it was. And K explains that L knows her and tried to date her but got ghosted by her! I was laughing my ass off because (a) yes clearly this cop has issues and (b) it is a small fucking gay world.

We got second place which means we get to pick a category for one round next week. We picked “old lesbians”

I was laughing my ass off because (a) yes clearly this cop has issues and (b) it is a small fucking gay world.

Yes, on both, and you have things in common with v hot soccer player. Encounter with issued cop girl, and hotness!

Homeownership is bullshit, part eleven million:

Over the weekend, D managed to knock the showerhead + arm completely off the shower body by (he says) lightly brushing it with his hand while he was reaching up to rinse his arm. I am relatively okay with reattaching bath fixtures most of the time, but could not for the life of me figure out how this one was supposed to go back on (and Google didn't give me any how-tos that matched the make/model we have), so I called a plumber. $80 and a lot of water sprayed on the ceiling later, I now know that the thing holding the shower arm in place is a set screw approximately the size of a tardigrade which probably went down the drain when it first popped off. Did the plumber have one the right size in his van? No! But could he give me a part number so I could order one myself? Also no!

So I went down a rabbit hole of looking up the invoice from the bathroom renovation 2 years ago and following links on Delta Faucet's website until I'm 90% confident I was able to order the right part from Amazon. The package arrives tomorrow, wish me DIY luck!

Parts~ma!

I took my dogs for a walk before work this morning and saw four new Harris signs. I saw another new one while driving a couple of days ago. Still vastly outnumbered by Trump signs, but it is kinda encouraging to finally see some. I'm still thinking Trump will win the election though. Things are so close and with Trump still leading on the economy, it just seems like he'll prevail.
